DIN slot gauge thingy size
Yeah i got a din blank to cover up the hole for now and it doesn't go right into the slot because the dash trim is in the way. I see, i was going to cut the holes out to the bulk of the size (52mm) and have the rim of the gauges on the outer surface. I can get it laser cut at uni for cheap ;)

Single Turbo 300zx Setup (Picture from google)
How come it looks so simple in that bay aswell, when 300zx looks like someones dropped a load of pipes in the bay

Single Turbo 300zx Setup (Picture from google)
Its the exhaust housing inlet thats confusing me, is it just running off one bank. Or is the exhaust from the other piped in somewhere? Looks mint whatever is going on

My mate had this on his skyline, 3 turbos later he found out it was valve stem seals. He just left them

Blitz boost controller questions
Hi guys. I have one installed but i dont really understand it. Ive downloaded the manual and given it a thorough read through, but its still no clearer. It has 4 modes (levels of boost) an off mode, a warn mode and a scatter mode. No idea what scatter is, i know what the off is. Warn mode is confusing me, when i switch to it it has -15 on it in red light. The 4 modes are already set. 2 are at 1.28kg/cm2 68% and the other 2 are at 1.28kg/cm2 57%. When i floor it it goes to 18psi on my aftermarket gauge on mode 1. I know thats not standard, but i dont get what the controller is telling me, its in kg/cm2 I cant see anywhere if its telling my air fuel ratio. I need a techno genius to guide me into what this all means. Any help much appreciated Mark

I have a boost problem
I had a look over all my pipes and nothing was out of place. I took it for another drive and it was completely fine. My guess is that when it was in the air it got an air bubble in the fuel line or something. Anyway, all is fine. Cheers

I have a boost problem
I need the help of some professionals. I just planted my foot and as soon as it started to spool it felt like it hit a limiter. It was not nice! happened around 3,500 revs. I free revved it and it went past 3,500. It was only when it was under load. It wasn't a one off either, its been doing it all day. Any ideas on what it could be guys? Maybe a boost leak or electrical connection. If it helps the car has been sat on a jack with the right side in the air for about 5 days. Mark

Ive got a noise
I dont think its anything serious, but sticky lifters sounds like a likely candidate, also sounds like a hell of a chore to to, whats that, new seals and head gaskets, then all the parts i might need refurbed?
-
Ive got a noise
This noise has been coming and going now, makes no difference to the performance as far as i can see, but its worrying me. My last car did this, it came and went, did no damage, did not change the performance, Turned out in the end to be crud clogging up the oil pump and it wasnt pumping oil to the top tappets. Is this likely?

Turbo layout
I have a blitz one, im still trying to figure it out :D

Turbo layout
Does it have a unit in the car and a unit in the engine bay, because thats where the plumbing will be, if it is all electric, i would say it went through the sensors and retarded ignition or something
-
Turbo layout
Splicing into the actuator ones i reckon, because its releasing pressure from the wastegates

Ive got a noise
My dad had a little listen and he said he thought it sounded like a belt, or a tensioner. He even suggested that it could be an air flap somewhere. His subaru has a tumble flap to make the intake air more turbulent, does this car have anything like that?

Ive got a noise
The noise seems to have gone now, i guess ill just have to keep an eye on it.

Ive got a noise
Ive looked at all the connections, there all green and not tight, i dont think this is the main problem, but i bet it aint helping. Are these a nissan part? ive found some on american ebay at $20 for 3, they need soldering in though

Ive got a noise
The plugs on the injectors are all broken, they do just pull off, im not happy with that. But its running on all cylinders
-
Ive got a noise
Ive just checked the oil, thats nice and high on the stick. I must admit it doesnt sound like its bottom end related, but as you said, it get distorted over the net and becomes hard to tell the difference. Its coming from behind the timing case.
