Mine was breathable, waterproof, UV protection outdoor cover....... but car was off the road for 7years...... Car was cleaned, polished, waxed and dry underneath before being wrapped up...... Strangely after this happened I found loads of people warning against car covers with exactly the same problems..... Only appeared in the last year of being covered up....... maybe the cover degraded over time? Car painted in 2002/3......... so not new paint...... All I know is the top of the car has rash....... sills and lower parts with more air movement.... sills, bottom of doors, bumpers, etc..... No rash.... http://passionford.com/forum/general-car-related-discussion/443924-outdoor-car-covers-and-blistered-paintwork.html http://www.lancerregister.com/showthread.php?t=349967 http://www.rodsnsods.co.uk/forum/tech-discussion/micro-blistering-8237 http://www.clubgti.com/archive/index.php?t-205118.html Just a few examples of problems in the paint that even an expensive cover can help appear............. Plenty of info and reading on the various forums.... I personally would rather keep the car clean, waxed and let the paint do it's job....... Only My opinion though......

I went the car cover route and had millions of paint blisters from it......... like a rash..... Was a breathable cover and not a cheap one....... What does Bodymech recommend???

Happy Birthday Steve......... :balloon::balloon::happybday::balloon::balloon: I heard a rumour you had a mobility scooter, but for god sake Steve.....

I have some spare dan 2mg or 5mg..........lol

Yay dan....... good decision.......:clap:

Hi Noel, I had the Fuel dampener vacuum connected to the screw in adapter on lower N/S of plenum. The boost controller, boost gauge and N/S BOV all connected to the N/S rear vacuum from the balance bar on a T' piece.... The hose to the N/S BOV was leaking badly from where it connects to the hard pipe as well....... I think this was giving me a low boost reading on the gauge and making the Boost Controller see less vacuum than there was?? Problem was I cleaned every connection at the same time, so not sure if it was vacuum pipes wrong or dodgy connection........ But now the rev counter shoots up fast..... Also never heard turbo's till today..... The problem is that this happened without warning and was completely unexpected..... lol

If you win the Euromillions I will have a Slick top please........ lol

Hi Gary, just checked them and cleaned the connectors..... Guessing one of the o'rings may have not sealed or moved when fitting or I have split one of the brittle pipes to the balance bar, PCV's or idle control...... so going to check tomorrow after my heart rate drops.....

UPDATE........ I need to change my underwear now....... Just spent a few hours checking vacuum pipes, realised I had a couple of the vacuum lines fitted to different places on the manifold, balance bar, etc...... Cleaned every single connector and sprayed with contact cleaner, refitted my pipes and clips from intercoolers to throttle bodies..... I decided to check and see if she is still stalling with a little drive up the road...... I pulled out of my close as I normally would and ended up sideways snaking up the road........ NO traction......Loads of boost.... I have just found out that since I did the TT conversion I had something wrong...... seriously wrong.... hence not feeling the TT power that you all talk of....... More NA with a bit more pull...... I think I just felt it without warning...... My Z nearly gave me a bloody heart attack..... That was scary....... from stationary to F**kin hell in a split second.......... and worse when your not expecting it.....:wacko::scared: Oh and then she stalled out again when I stopped to turn round, over and over unless i give it revs......

Just gone to go out and she keeps stalling as soon as she is put in drive or reverse...... impossible to drive now.... I found fuel lines from filter were leaking badly so replaced them....... and now things are worse.... Tick over she is fine..... soon as it goes into drive the revs drop immediately??? Going to check the balance bar for leaks as took off the other day when i put new plugs in and fitted new o'rings to balance bar while I was there....... This seems weird....

Is that a pressie for all members Gary??........... lol

Oh..... OK...... :crying:..... Can we just have your email address then and get you to forward it to peoples PM's like a sort of secretary? :lol::tt2:

NOT AGAIN........lol....... only kidding Lee...... thanks for sorting it and your hard work this year mate...... Was good to meet you at JAE...... Will add pictures as soon as I have some time...... Cheers Russ

I bet you enjoyed getting some mail really......... or at least some that wasn't spam.......lol Could it not be set up to work like ebay or Facebook so it goes to the PM system as Bird said???

Happy Birthday......:balloon::balloon::happybday::balloon::balloon:

If you were closer I would pop over with my test gear and spare speakers and take a look for you...... Hard to explain on here....... Mine are all run from amplifiers as my head unit is all fibre optic and pre out only...... won't power any speakers at all.... so ran all new wiring to doors.....

I take it you ran directly from the head unit to the speakers to see if they worked using new 2 core speaker wires and unplugged the oem speaker connector from the head unit when doing this??

Speakers in door panels sometimes get water ingress into them which buggers the coil and magnet clearance..... Were they insulated from door panel... were they fitted into the original mountings and was there a plastic film still behind them???

Just wanted to ask what Nismo head gaskets are like compared to std OEM??? These have popped up on ebay...... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311084713922?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Happy Birthday mate.........:balloon::balloon::happybday::balloon::balloon:

Don't forget to get pictures of pothole and damage to the car...... Use a fag packet on its side in the pothole to show the depth in a picture and give perspective..... Councils have insurance for just this type of thing....! I managed to get 2 wheels paid for by council as did the same thing in 2002...... they will try to get out of it, but just give them bills for all the damage...... They won't pay for a full set of 4 wheels only damaged ones.....

Is it me or is there no boost when revving?? Has an intercooler hose come off or damage to hose and unmetered air entering system?? Also no oil pressure.....? Check intercooler pipes on side that bottomed out with pothole.....??

That's because it was benefit day and time to sign on again......... then they were all down the local off-licence for their Black friday deals....... 4 Special brew for £2.50

Hi Lymon, I only get error 200 and get nothing from a short press of the on button at all...... I get a change in the lcd display getting darker a bit...... but nothing else.... I am going to try the remove pram battery and main battery overnight to see what happens..... I am wondering if previous owner has used the incorrect power adapter and fried the power circuit...... as it just seems to see a constant error in power supply / battery.... Thanks for the help and having a look at yours for me..... Looks like I maybe looking for a consult II....... lol

I got a Hubsan 4 with camera from Maplin for £49.99......... For my 6 year old son......... honest...... lol
