What you’ve described is the late style connector

Craig, are rooms reserved until end of March?

Happy Birthday Andrew. Hope you have a great one

I’ve not seen WS first hand but I’ve heard mixed reviews. One aspect I do like the sound of is a “customisable” loom, so for me having top feed injectors having a loom with the correct Injector connectors for my injectors is a big plus. Being able to delete stuff is also helpful, such as O2 sensor connectors (as my Haltech has its own loom for the wide bands) would save me having random plugs lurking around the bay serving no purpose

I can vouch for how stupidly fast they are

I’ll pop along. Whether I’m in my Z I don’t know.... I know plenty of place afterwards depends how far you want to travel. Crown And Cushion is nice https://www.baronspubs.com/crownandcushion Furthermore, I can recommend another venue if you don’t fancy SRR. http://www.basingstokeremap.co.uk/about.aspx I’m friends with the owners and this is where My Z has been mapped

Brilliant choice of wheel

Looking good mate

Somehow I’ve managed to misplace the two rubber seals that sit between the scuttle panels and the windscreen. Does anyone have a set as I can’t buy them new individually (have to buy new scuttle panels to get them and I have carbon ones) Moneys waiting Cheers

Unless I’m being stupid........... £250?!

Yeah, PartBox/Co-Ord sport

Hmmm. Maybe these would fit the bill https://h-tune.co.uk/muteki-tuner-lug-nuts-closed-end/

The Rays Duralumin nuts arent Aluminium, it’s duralumin. Theyre stronger that steel ones in terms of clamping and thread strength.... and to be honest I wouldn’t expect anything less from Rays. But you still have to be careful with the (no impact guns) otherwise you’ll knacker ther finish

Peeps My Varrstoen lug nuts have seen much better days, so I’d like to replace them. Really, I’d like a set of Rays Duralumin red anodised nuts, but at £186 for a set they’re just too dam expensive. Ideally I’d like to stick with red, short, closed end lug nuts but not finding any that aren’t cheep Chinese tat. Recommendations please!

That’s a lovely example..... and a SERIOUS price!

You mention you have spark, so I assume you’ve tested a plug in one of the coil packs? (Guessing you would have mentioned if you had pulled a spark plug and it was either fine or fouled) If you’ve only started it up and used it for short journeys, it could be as simple as fouled plugs. Throw a new set in there (NGK Coppers will set you back all of £15). When you swap them out, have a look how fouled up they are.

Never seen those before. Interesting

I get that, but that’s surely why we use places like this, to learn more about the other options and techniques that are available. The crimps themselves for MIL/AV quality joins are fairly inexpensive. Yes, the tool itself is a reasonable expense, but the quality of the joins are precisely that, quality. The point with solder is, yes when properly executed it is a very good conductive join. HOWEVER solder IS brittle and is liable to fracturing. A quality crimp is stronger that the wire that is being connected. That’s why every single pin in every single plug in your factory loom is crimped onto the wire, NOT soldered on. I’ve never had you down as the “that’ll do” British Leyland approach kinda guy Simon?

I’ll have to agree with Joel on this one. A proper crimped fitting is better than a soldered joint. You’ll never find a solder in a motorsport wiring loom. HOWEVER, I will caveat that with the fact PROPER crimps and crimping tools are expensive. The stuff you can buy in maplins doesn’t get close to the proper stuff. A bit of light reading for you https://www.hpacademy.com/technical-articles/solder-vs-crimping/

Any chance the club is able to get a stand should their be enough interest?

Is the club aware of the Japanese Performance Show on 19th August http://www.japaneseperformanceshow.co.uk Doesn’t appear to clash with any other events that I can see in the calendar

Was aiming to go, but work got in the way. Wasn’t the MCN show next door aswell?

Sooooooo many nice wheels!

Love a bit of community spirit.
