Pretty much, that is the whole concept of dump valves, the stall is caused when you shut off the gas, butterfly shuts and built up pressure. smithy

Yeah you can do that with no running issues, however the dump valves were fitted for a reason, releasing build up of pressure when the butterfly shuts, block em off and you lose the reason they were fitted in the 1st place. I must confess i've NEVER known anyone to purposely block them off without fitting new ones at the same time, but hey each to their own ;) smithy

Mine usually last a couple hundred miles or so and start to fill up again, used to replace, just clean em out now... thinking of changing for different model of PCV valves. Higher than normal crankcase pressure will bung up the pcv valves quicker than normal, however Nissan valves are not all the same and there some that "may" last longer for problematic Zeds, as proved on 350Z's suffereing crank case pressure problems. smithy

Yep, can believe it. There are some differences in quality and the amount of actual C/F used in these dash kits from different places. Alot are using whats called photogenesis ( spelling) looks like carbon, feels like carbon, but it ain't.. Am trying to buy just the stereo surround piece now from Aus and at great expense compared to the ebay ones too, but am happy 100% it is the real thing ;) cheers smithy

It's a complete length of folded stainless steel, looks rather nice. I've supplied a few before from the US, they cost around 70 quid though!! hence why around the end of next week am doing me own with a rather nice design ;) if yer in no hurry, should be a couple of weeks and these will be available. cheers smithy

If yer mean using teh existing rad support brackets, yer can just remove the rubber inserts for a quick fix, apart from that an actual full stainless new bracket to suit the koyo looks the best. cheers smithy

Just as well they are in the post to yer today then mate ;) gee thanks fellas :) smithy

TBH mate i wouldn't be overly concerned about that just yet cos at the end of the day, the mapper maps the car using what boost he sees as giving the best results for both power and fueling together. As said, often the case of turning boost down gives better results. Certainly though the mapper would identify if the turbo's are running out of boost before the engine makes peak power and as your using T3's, these generally are built for high boost anyways, certainly from the cossie days ;) Finally from what I've seen of cars being mapped, somewhere between 1.2 and 1.8 bar seems to be the norm on higher powered Zeds which won't be a problem on yourt tubs.. cheers smithy

Nope, i think he's got it now bud. ta smithy

They ain't fella, i answered all yer questions and right upto post 9 it was done and dusted, Jay questioned himself it "might" be a chip and not an ecu but didn't know and thats it, no one else said anything different. Happy to help bud, but just read what someone says "it is" and not what they say they "think", to be sure ;) smithy

If yer get stuck let me know. I''ve brought in a few of the lesser and well known Jap branded bodykits that arn't readily available in the UK. You would need to email me the link to any pics and your year and model, 2 seater or 2+2 etc. I supplied Robs new bits :cry: ta smithy

YES IT IS A COMPLETE ECU.............................................................. With a Chip inside designed by Blitz in a Blitz ECU :rolleyes: Yes you can up the boost, NO you can't add bigger injectors (555's) with it, the chip would need removing and in answer to yer other questions, I answered them 10 posts ago, geez wheres me fags. smithy

NO mate, read again "a replacement complete ECU " you only have 1 engine ECU. oh and no de-limiter and increase in boost with different fueling/timing maps. Smithy

Many years ago Blitz did a replacement complete ECU and for some reason listed it only available for jap imports. Pretty sure it was big money too ;) smithy

yeah these are series 1 and the jap Z is series 1, i'd thought of hat one too ;) thanks anyways bud cheers smithy

many many thanks bud :hyper: and thankyou to spongey-bladebloke :nana2: cheers smithy

tut tut you should have taken them when i quoted yer bud :p I've 3 sets ordered for customers which leave on Tuesday or wednesday, if you want a set of head ones it's 145 delivered but i would need to know by monday nite at the latest so i can add yours to the list. cheers smithy

The solenoid just pulls the inner door catch which automatically returns back. The door will then only actually open outwards if 1) the car is leaning down on the side you popped 2) you adjjust the door hinge so it's fitting tighter like bazzaG's or 3) an actual popper is fitted on the bottom of the door, it's a spring loaded small bar which when door shuts it's compressed but soon as door is activated it springs it open, like mine. Either way don't worry, the door will open a max of about 12inches, so won't hit cars close by, well my never does ;) Mine works of a switch under the door mirror and from my remote. I also have a hidden switch incase the units pack up, this switch takes takes a live feed direct from the battery. I then use 1 way to open the bonnet incase of battery (car) failure and another way to enter car incase everything packs up, lol cheers smithy

Thanks mate, I do kinda need em by Tuesdayish tbh, it was someone with them already out i was looking for to so as to save any inconvenience to the donor ;) dunno if ollies are already out or not. As for the bumper, Bubuche is fairly certain at this moment of having it, am just waiting on a shipping quote of Luke as he also wants some new side skirts and they would go together. cheers smithy

no need here yer go http://www.smithys-place.co.uk/contact.php please use royalmail registered post ( silver sticker) it;s insured for 500 big ones just incase... They will be back in the post to you the very same day i receive them, so put a return address inside where they are to go or i can just hold onto them till you return. cheers smithy

Whoosh 2 offers ;) are yours already out mate ? I was just looking to save any work for anyone else see, as it's good enough already that someone is willing to loan them without taking things apart as well, lol cheers smithy

many many thanks fella :bow: I'll just give it another 24 hours to see if anyone else actauuly already has them out ( to save duffers removing yours) fingers crossed someone whos just purchased some and not yet fited, someone may have theirs out for a lighting project or one of our mechanical traders may have some they could loan me etc etc. again many thanks smithy

I remembered asking at the time and they were not the 2500 series that is often mentioned here and even at Gregs £120ish, thats cheap. Average price for Zed fitment is actually 140 quid....... cheers smithy

According to Luke and Jeff it would have the opposite effect mate, but yeah thought of that. cheers smithy

Fitted a set of UK clocks in a Jap spec I have here, the needle moves as if it's going in KMPH. I:E Speedo says 80 for example and i know am only doing around 50ish. I've confirmed they are 100% deffo UK clocks ( spoke with Luke to confirm) so either they are faulty or summits going on with something else. Now then am hoping some kind soul will help me know one way or the other, is anyone willing to send me a UK clock unit by registered post, the day it arrives I will simply plug it in as is, drive up the road and then post the clocks back again to you by registered post, so the longest you'll be without them in total is 48hrs Max! If all works well it tells me these ones ain't right, if they read the same as mine, it tells me something somewhere else ain't right. I will of course cover all costs and be glad to show my appreaciation should you require anything from me ;) Please please :bow: smithy
