Idle with MAF disconnected
I know it's possible to get the car to idle with the MAF disconnected, but can you drive with out it for a short while ? The reason I ask is that ever since I fitted the Doolz, I'm suffing WMD (Wet MAF Disorder). After a fari bit of rain, some gets onto the filter and soaks into the filter itself. Next time I try and start the car it will choke and not rev above 3k rpm. So I usually have to take off the filter and maf, put the filter in the over to dry out and then put it back together and all is well. However to dry out properly it takes a good hour, that's (not with the oven on). I'm supposed to be at the lakeside meet by 6pm and I know I'm not gonna have time to get it fully dried. In the long run I'm making an additional top splash shield and also switching the maf to the other side which is always dry.

Need to hire/loan a Thermal Imaging Camera
Do you have all 4 walls and a roof ?. If not, that's your problem !. Not sure where you'd get a thermal imagine camera. Sounds silly but it may be worth trying the airsoft forums. Someone there who's well into the toy soldier scene may have one.

Z on ebay
Why the Fook would you upgrade to 400cc injectors ?. Then put an after market fuel pump on there, The stock fuel pump is good with 555's all day long. Seems a little strange to me.

Propshaft or house
You probably just need a new rear center bearing. As for help selling, I'm not having much luck so I think you should keep it.

Newbie question
This would be your oil cooler, you may also have asmaller one there for the gear box. As you can seen in the picture below, the oil cooler is in the middle and intercoolers are either side mounted (in the picture) or fornt mounted but then it would be much much bigger. Nismo is not a stick item it's an upgrade, however it could just be a stock item with a sticker on it. Would need a picture to be able to tell.

Newbie from Warwickshire
Welcome. Just a word of warning. The add says it' a twin turbo. However you have an NA front bumper fitted to it which means your intercoolers will not be getting any air. You'll need to either fit a TT front bumper or an after market one or you will start suffering as the weather gets warmer.

Christmas Meet
So how many people have we got definately going, that's 100% gonna be there ? Was looking forward to this as I've not been to a meet for 4 years.But if it's only going to be 2 cars I'm kinda thinking it may not be worth the travel.

standard recirc valve into dump valve?
You can't just leave one open it needs to work as a valve. BOVS / dump valves have spring in them whihc are set at a certain resistance. Once the pressure builds up they will be forced open to release the excess pressure before closing again. If you just leave the pipe open without a valve as such then you are pretty much going to be letting the air out constantly. This will cause boost leaves, leading to crappy running and general idle problems.

Any UK meets over christmas time?
Ah you would have been fairly close to the Essex meet this Saturday but you're coming a week too late for that. I'm sure we can sort something out though. Give us a shout when you get over here and we'll see if we can get a few people together.
