Window tints
Yeah, but these are nearly totally black. Makes reversing at night a bit entertaining.

Rides updated
If anyone's interested, I finally got some pics of my new car and put 'em in my rides page.

Poly Bushes
Just fitted full energy suspension poly bush kit. Some of the bushes are an absolute bugger to do, but probably worth the effort. Probably took me about 10 hours to do, but that was dropping the subrframe and taking off the hubs etc too so that I could get it into the press. Much less wheel hop on launch and the whole car definately feels tighter. Finally some feedback through the wheel too. Only downside is alot more transmission noise inside the car, particularly with my noisy plate diff, and slightly harsher ride. Reackon I can live with that though :D

Window tints
Anyone know how to get window tints off. Jap who had my car decided a 300zx van would look good and blacked out the rear quarters and screen. Cheers

Cost of fitting electronic boost controller?
Aaahhh, cheers guys!! Justin, give me a buzz whenever suits, I'm away for a week but any time after should be OK. Cheers

Speedo conversion /Odometer?
Finding where it leaves is easy, problem is I don't think it's the same sort of signal. It goes through some circuitry, I was guessing it changes the pulse to a 0-X volt analogue signal for the other units.

Speedo conversion /Odometer?
You will have HICAS on a TT. AFAIK, all converter chips affect all the signals. The pulse signal from the speed sensor to the speedo head is the one you change, and the circuitry that modifies the signal to go to the steering etc is on the back of the speedo head, so there is no way to leave that signal untouched. I stand to be corrected, but that's how it looked from the diagrams and tracing the tracks on the board.

My new wheels pics at last
Looking good Pete. Now you just need some R33 brakes to fill them R33 wheels. Oh and a set of bilsteins of course ...

It's camoflauge stoopid. Hides you from speed camera's :D

Yup, that's it. It is pretty good really, interior is spotless. Just got to clean all the tar off the stone chip bits now, they're covered in it :( Just end up spreading it around trying to get it off

Raced a Ferrari 360 Modena
Found it wasn't much quicker in a straight line when I raced one. Round the corners was a different story though. I was pretty much on the ragged edge and it must have carried 20-30mph more through some bends. Guess that's where the extra £80k goes ..

Speedo conversion /Odometer?
The ECU I don't think uses the speed signal for anything, auto box might though? The steering definately does, feels way too light with converter chip and the HICAS gets the wrong signal.

Cheers Pete, turned out pretty well. Should look much better by next week though :rofl:

how2 mig tips?
On my car and Pete's, 1.0mm jets gave 12psi, but some people have had different results. Be careful about running too much boost without changing the chip to suit. I'm in Kidderminster so if you need a hand, drop me a line. Can sort you out with a chip too if you're interested. Cheers

ecu
The ECU plugs can sometimes not seat properly, make sure it's on firmly at both ends. Unlikely to have caused your problem I'd say, but worth a go.

Andy, how did you come up with the 13psi? Have you had a voltmeter on the MAF?

Membership No?
Cheers Ajay.

SE basically uses a bit more timing to get more power

Front Strut Tower Brace
Don't know, sorry it was on when I got the car.

Oil coolers
Deemon tweaks or think automotive or james lister all sell universal mocal coolers. Was going to fit one but never done it yet. IIRC, 19rowx115mm will fit for engine no probs with 5/8 fittings. If you've got an autobox you can then use the old engine cooler for that. Luke at the z center does a kit if you want to buy it ready to drop in.

Front Strut Tower Brace
FWIW, I've got a carbing one in mine and it's fits beautifully. No contact at all with the bonnet, you do have to loose that plastic cover thing between the banks, but it does nowt anyway.

Whats the differance between a SE chip and a stock UK one?
No Probs, pleased it worked. You can edit it then export the changes to a new BIN if you want to tweak it. Cheers

Whats the differance between a SE chip and a stock UK one?
I've put together a dependence package for it, so hopefully that'll include all the files it needs to run properly. It's about 2.5Mb, so I'll zip it up and send it tonight. Cheers

Ah, that one!! A few people have had that but I've never been able to replicate it. Seems some PC's don't have the Hex$ function on them. Try running office update, and if you give me your email address, I'll send you a version that I know is fully compiled, that might fix it?! FYI, I developed it on Windows XP SP1, VB6 runtime files installed and Office 2000 SP1. Cheers John
