Hi, I knocked my hard drive and now it won't boot off it. I've attached it to a pc using a USB to IDE cable and get the error "f:\is not accessible" "Incorrect function". Have I lost all the data ? :( Cheers Vijay

Hi, I might be able to help you with a new one (it might work out cheaper than Courtsey :) Vijay

maybe it's your potential membership number ;) lol

I was quoted £88 for a 2.4m x 1.2m sheet

Hi Guys, Might need 25 m2 of this stuff to cover a garage floor. I saw in an old post that Fitzy got it for £8 a sheet - http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=38561&highlight=sheet but can't find it anywhere near that price. Can anyone get hold of it or know where I can get it at a decent price? Thanks Vijay

impact gun?

Hi Pete, Can't help with your question but it might be worth contacting Leigh who runs Japcity. He's a trader on here who imports cars :) http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=39216 http://www.japcityltd.co.uk/ Vijay

This info was given to me by a well respected member a while back :) Vijay There's been quite a bit of debate about how this thing actually works. Basically, the FIRST thing to do is go to Car Settings and do the following: Cyl: 6 Speed: 2 Throttle: rising arrow from left to right Decide how much boost to run. but set the boost no higher than .8 bar (roughly 12 psi) to be safe. If there is an upgraded ECU, and stock injectors, set it to 1 to 1.05 bar (14 - 15 PSI). If there are 555 cc injectors, set it to around 1.15 - 1.2 bar (17 - 17.5 PSI). The AVC-R has three setting modes, A, B, and OFF so there are two different boost settings. Choose one of them and set the base boost level as desired. What actually controls the amount of boost is the duty cycle, not the boost setting. For 1 bar, try starting around 58%. Higher percentages = higher boost. It is a good idea to find out what the 'natural' boost is with the system off. Set the AVC-R to OFF (hit the left arrow in the selection mode). Then go to the boost monitor screen. Find a stretch of deserted road and make a wide open run in 3rd or 4th gear (4th goes to ~126 MPH). The boost monitor screen should tell what peak boost was. It should be around 0.5 - 0.65 bar (7 - 9 psi). This will show what the car will boost with no boost controller at all (Good to know). Put the AVC-R in the desired boost mode (A or B), get into 3rd or 4th gear again, and go full throttle again. If it boosts over your target amount, reduce the duty cycle and try again. If it boosts under, raise the duty cycle. Once it boosts correctly, make 2 more runs in succession (this means wide open throttle). My understanding from LRD VDR and others is this triggers the AVC-R into self learning mode which is supposedly a 'good thing'. Go back to the boost setting screen and if the duty cycle displays '***' then it is in self learning mode and you're good to go. Another warning: do NOT set the Duty Cycle higher then 75% on the stock turbo's + injectors The average on a standard Z32 for 1.05 kg/cm2 = ~ 65% Duty cycle If you need to set it higher then 75% to be able to get to the 1.05 kg/cm2, there's is something wrong with either the settings on the AVCR or you have a boostleak somewhere. 3.mm/hg is vacuum...a Z32 in good condition should be around -48mm/hg during idle As soon as the pressure in the plenum starts to be positive (boost) the display should switch to kg/cm2 Here's a small conversion table I made some time ago Green is safe, yellow is ok whith an upgraded ECU, Red is the dangerzone.. (I printed it out and have it on my dashboard..lol) PSI Kg/cm Bar 5 0.35 0.34 6 0.42 0.41 7 0.49 0.48 8 0.56 0.55 9 0.63 0.62 10 0.70 0.69 11 0.77 0.76 12 0.84 0.83 13 0.91 0.90 14 0.98 0.97 15 1.05 1.03 16 1.13 1.10 17 1.20 1.17 18 1.27 1.24 19 1.34 1.31 20 1.41 1.38 4.No..the AVCR can only show positive boost in kg/cm2

Hi, Try cleaning out the throttle bodies and spraying carb cleaner down the AIV :) Vijay

Hi Glenn, You'd have to be mental to put your Z into Nissans!! there really isn't many of them who know about our Z's. It really is easy to do it yourself, takes 5 mins. Vijay

Hi Justin, I hope you do take them to court if they have no insurance. I can't stand irresponsible dog owners. I know if my dog caused any sort of accident, I would settle any costs. Vijay

IIRC it's just a 1/2 inch square, so a socket set will owrk fine Vijay

I think it was 25

probably about a metre

Hi Anita, First of all congratulation! :) Just did a quick search and it's been discussed quite a bit. I think it all depends on what rear seat belts you have. Vijay

yes mate, those sort of cables. I need to extend one but it's not for a PS2, it's for a 7" tv. Vijay

it joins a screen to a pcb. They're the very thin flat cables (orangy gold in colour) that slot into a connector.

anyone :( I don't really want to resort to soldering

Hi, I'm on about the ones you find in ps2's, laptops etc - is there anyway ox extending these? Cheers Vijay

Hi Jeff, I think I explained it - REMOVE EVERYTHING!!! lol Vijay

Hello mate, I'm afraid to say to get to the rear shocks, you have to basically remove all the trim in the boot as well as the back seat, not difficult at all, just time consuming :) Vijay

can you guys confirm if this has bluetooth as some places say yes and some say no :( Cheers Vijay
