Detonation / knock sensor
Mines faulty :( Just got it back from Jeff @ Zedworld (Top guy) and its running in safety boost. Ext Boost gauge is reading 10-11 psi boost but this is because of boost jetting. He has toild me to replace knock sensor but fit it onto one of the 2 tall studs at back of engine as it will still pick up detonation. Has anyone else done this. The alternative is a 1MOhm resistor to fool the ECU (not a good idea coz then it wont pick up det at all), or spend £700 removing plenum, pipes etc Alos the fuel pressure switch is faulty so Im off to get on off them too. Car is stupidly fast and Ive been told it'll be even faster when knock sensor is done. Just wondering whether anyone else here had fitted it do a different than original location.

Wheels
Ive just been offered some 18" Split Rim 5 spoke wheels with a deep dish. 2nd Hand but very good condition, rubber is pretty good too. They have come of a 300zx so no probs there. However the guy wants a grand - no offers. Is that a fair price?

NZR : Funniest letter I have read
thought that'd be the thinking level of this group ;)

NZR : Funniest letter I have read
Letter written by a heartbroken man to his estranged partner Dear Audrey: I know the counselor said we shouldn't contact each other during our "cooling off" period, but I couldn't wait anymore. The day you left, I swore I'd never talk to you again. But that was just the wounded little boy in me talking. Still, I never wanted to be the first one to make contact. In my fantasies, it was always you who would come crawling back to me. I guess my pride needed that. But now I see that my pride's cost me a lot of things. I'm tired of pretending I don't miss you. I don't care about looking bad anymore. I don't care who makes the first move as long as one of us does. Maybe it's time we let our hearts speak as loudly as our hurt. And this is what my heart says... "There's no one like you, Audrey." I look for you in the eyes and breasts of every woman I see, but they're not you. They're not even close. Two weeks ago, I met this girl at Flamingoes and brought her home with me. I don't say this to hurt you, but just to illustrate the depth of my desperation. She was young, maybe 19, with one of those perfect bodies that only youth and maybe a childhood spent ice skating can give you. I mean, just a perfect body. Jugs you wouldn't believe and an ass like a tortoise shell. Every man's dream, right? But as I sat on the couch being blown by this stunner, I thought, look at the stuff we've made important in our lives. It's all so superfic ial. What does a perfect body mean? Does it make her better in bed? Well, in this case, yes. But you see what I'm getting at. Does it make her a better person? Does she have a better heart than my moderately attractive Audrey? I doubt it. And I'd never really thought of that before. I Don't know, maybe I'm just growing up a little. Later, after I'd tossed her about a half a pint of throat yogurt, I found myself thinking, "Why do I feel so drained and empty?" It wasn't just her flawless technique or her slutty, shameless hunger, but something else. Some niggling feeling of loss. Why did it feel so incomplete? And then it hit me. It didn't feel the same because you weren't there, Audrey, to watch. Do you know what I mean? Nothing feels the same withou t you. Jesus, Audrey, I'm just going crazy without you. And everything I do just reminds me of you. Do you remember Carol, that single mom we met at Pontins last year? Well, she dropped by last week with a pan of lasagna. She said she figured I wasn't eating right without a woman around. I didn't know what she meant till later, but that's not the real story. Anyway, we had a few glasses of wine and the next thing you know we're banging away in our old bedroom. And this tart's a total monster in the sack. She's giving me everything, you know like a real woman does when she's not hung up about her weight or her career and whether the kids can hear us. And all of a sudden she spots that tilting mirror on your grandmother's old vanity. So she puts it on the floor and we straddle it, right, so we can watch ourselves. And it's totally hot, but it makes me sad too. 'Cause I can't help thinking, "Why didn't Audrey ever put the mirror on the floor? We've had this old vanity for what, 14 years, and we never used it as a sex aid." Saturday, your sister drops by with my copy of the restraining order. I mean, Vicky's just a kid and all, but she's got a pretty good head on her shoulders and she's been a real friend to me during this painful time. She's given me lots of good counsel about you and about women in general. She's pulling for us to get back together, Audrey, She really is. So we're drinking in a hot bath and talking about happier times. Here's this teenage girl with the same DNA as you and all I can do is think of how much she looked like you when you w ere 18. And that just about makes me cry. And then it turns out Vicky's really into the whole anal thing and that gets me to thinking about how many times I pressured you about trying it and how that probably fueled some of the bitterness between us. But do you see how even then, when I'm thrusting inside your baby sister's cinnamon ring, all I can do is think of you? It's true, Audrey. In your heart you know it. Don't you think we could start over? Just wipe out all the grievances and start fresh? I think we can. If you feel the same please please please let me know, otherwise, can you let me know where the Sky remote control is. John

TPS - Which wire
Just had car running and with a DVM tried finding the wire I need to put the +ve on to measure .4V There is a plug into the side of the TPS (I think both these read 12V) and there is a wire coming off to a loom with a detachable plug. You cannot get the DVM probe down the side of any 3 wires in this. Disconnecting keep engine running but then putting probe on all contacts could not get .4V I think I got one reading .46V but it was raining, I was getting p***d wet through and no amount of moving the TPS would adjust this Any advice? (apart from - wait till it stops raining)

NZR - Love, Lust & Marriage
Love, Lust, or Marriage? How do you know if you're in love, in lust, or really married? For those of you who have any questions, or misplaced envy, this should clear it up: LOVE - When your eyes meet across a crowded room. LUST - When your tongues meet across a crowded room. MARRIAGE - When you lose your child in crowded room. LOVE - When intercourse is called "making love." LUST - When intercourse is called "screwing." MARRIAGE - What the hell are you talking about? LOVE - When you share everything you own. LUST - When you steal everything they own. MARRIAGE - When the bank owns everything. LOVE - When it doesn't matter if you don't climax. LUST - When the relationship is over if you don't climax. MARRIAGE - What's a climax? LOVE - When you write poems about your partner. LUST - When all you write is your phone number. MARRIAGE - When all you write is cheques. LOVE - When you show concern for your partner's feelings. LUST - When you couldn't give a &*%$ MARRIAGE -When your only concern is what's on TV. LOVE - When your farewell is "I love you, darling..." LUST - When your farewell is "So, same time next week..." MARRIAGE - When your farewell is a relief. LOVE - When you are proud to be seen in public with your partner. LUST - When you only see each other naked. MARRIAGE - When you never see each other awake. LOVE - When your heart flutters every time you see them. LUST - When your groin twitches every time you see them. MARRIAGE - When your wallet empties every time you see them. LOVE - When nobody else matters. LUST - When nobody else knows. MARRIAGE - When everybody else matters and you don't care who knows. LOVE - When all the songs on the radio describe exactly how you feel. LUST - When the song on the radio determines how you do it. MARRIAGE - When you listen to talk radio. LOVE - When breaking up is something you try not to think about. LUST - When staying together is something you try not to think about. MARRIAGE - When just getting through today is your only thought. LOVE - When you're only interested in doing things with your partner. LUST - When you're only interested in doing things TO your partner. MARRIAGE - When you're only interested in your golf score

dyingggg
just coming back up the motorway and decided to gun it (up to 70mph of course) past these lorries. Foot down - boost kicks in then judder, engine managment seems to kick in throttle off, look very worried, gun again, engine judders and seems to hold back. Could this be down to an incorrect setting on my TPS as I took it off yesterday to try on a mates car?

How long does a bee live?
I had one of these b'stads get into my visor while I was riding my fireblade. I hit it with the visor partially open at about 30mph and it caught the bottom of the visor and climbed in - when oyu have one an inch away from your eye buzzing you sort of forget your riding a bike - slammed the brakes on - didnt care what was behind me - jumped off bike, shaking head violently (to REALLY antagonize it) then whilst loudly shouting F**k F**k I removed my lid precision so as not to get it caught between me and my cheek pads :( Not a nice experience

TPS and Boost
Right - swapped my TPS onto my mates car to prove fault - his is knackered (Pete Shrimp - I could do with buying your spare off you mate). When I put my TPS back on my car I just adjusted it down to a tickover of about 800 while engine was running by moving it up and down - Is that all I have to do or do I have to do anything else like reset ECU? However . . . . This still hasnt cured his boost problem On full throttle it sounds like a fluttering noise, could this be a diapraghm in one of the recirc valves not closing hence no boost build up. On tickover Boost guage reads 0 Revving it drops the boost guage to -5(ish) when going and boost kicks in it starts to climb to the +9psi, but no real power seems to be layed down. If we cant suss this out I've tolfd him to take it down to Jeff at Zedworld.
