Moving / removing the fan
don't forget the two bolts at the top, and you can always unbolt the oil cooler, 4 bolts at the bottom if I remember, and then swing it out the way

What is it?
isn't that the stock boost sensor for the stock boost gauge? Mine's disconnected and no probs found. Make sure that the vac line is blocked though if diconnected, or you'll have a nice air leak ;)
-
Oil Cooler
I have noticed that my Uk oil cooler actually gets quite warm, surprised me as I never felt the old Jap one doing that, so I guess it's working!

Tyre Setup
i have 265/35 rears on 18's so I would have though you'd want 30 profile with 19's

FAO ChrisC
I have no problem at all with my idle using the JWT twin POP pipework and dual MAF. This is no dig, just letting other people know the options ;)

Insurance after shunt...

PS leak
Looks like my PS high pressure hose is leaking, and from searching on here the Nissan part is quite expensive and it would be better to take the hose off to a hydrolic hose place to get them to make one up for me. I've also read about a PS leak possibly causing alternator probs so best get it sorted sooner than later. So any tips on removing the hose? draining the system first etc? Any other opinions or useful advise from those that have been there done that :)

How much boost?
I would say run it at a fairly low boost setting (less than 10 psi) then get yourself to Thor for a few runs. You can then do quite a few runs, measure the A/F ratio, and slowly raise the boost. You then stop raising the boost when A/F curve isn't coping, you run the risk of detting, or you're producing so much HP you're crapping yourself!!

Oil Cooler
here you go from when I did mine ... UK Oil cooler on the left, Jap spec on the right

Protoype Ferrari
Spotted this new Ferrari Prototype today in Knightsbridge.... as you can see, complete :xxx: :xxx: , even left the Supra badge on too :slap: (Side pic is a bit blurred but you can see the side badges too!) PS Thanks to Louise for taking the pics for our general amusement :) :cool:

Zorst pictures request!
opps, sorry missed this. SMW1 has a video somewhere of me accelarating away somewhere. here's one I found that sounds very similar, mine's a bit deeper, probably due to de-cat http://rides.300zx.co.uk/rides/1419/greddy_EVO_exhaust.wmv I'll see if I can persuade Louise to do some filming later ;)
-
Fuel Pump
probably worth investing in a fuel pressure gauge so you see what's going on then...
-
Zorst pictures request!
They were there when I imported it. They're known as Greddy SP2 I think in the states
-
Zorst pictures request!
Greddy/Trust 5" back boxes, de-cat and staight through centre section means it's loud but nice :)
-
Fuel Pump
have you checked your Fuel Pressure Regulator, this should adjust the pressure depending on boost/vaccum.
-
Hesitation / hissing at idle / overrun problems
might be the IAA/AAV solonoids... clicky you can use thius to adjust the idle, but it probably just needs a good dose of carb cleaner / wd40. also worth checking the electrical connections for the usual crud
-
The beast is back
exhaust will help as that's a big restriction at the mo, de-catting will also help. You can then move on to down pipes, and if you're desperate/feeling flush :) the manifolds. You can port the stock ones, but you're best off going to either Pentroof ones or The new Inconel ones from Greg Dupree (stocked by Smithy). Manifolds are an engine out job, down pipes are gearbox off jobs (I think)
-
10psi max....!
sounds right, the dash boost gauge is useless and not very accurate. So good news then!
-
whats it mean when det at only 0.8 bar
what fuel are you using? - could also be the hot weather causing your problems
