... As per the title... Did this today with my old lower plenum as a test.. If your EGR has been deleted - why keep the bracket as it the bracket that prevents you getting access to the Knock Sensor! I forgot to take a 'befor' picture but this is the lower plenum mocked up with the bracket positioned approx before it is removed. Its upside down in that pick which also does not help - but here is the pic with the bracket deleted. And now the right way up... And back on the engine... Hope that helps - what do you guys think? Worthwhile or not? Andy :headvswal:rolleyes:

Hi Marty, It's really just part of the process of cleaning up and simplifying the engine bay. It's personal choice but I have deleted the EGR, AIV's AVCR, PRVR, carbon canister, water bypass, done a PCV re-route, air con delete - as per the first post. Some of the jibs are just - "good to do's" whilst the plenum is iff etc. But yep - the less vacuum lines the better AFAIAC. It's more a case of deleteing the feature (AIV, EGR) though - rather than just ripping off the vacuum lines of course :D Hope that helps. Andy

Oh god - I should of worked that out - what with the resistor mod being so popular - sorry dude! ;-))

Cheers matey - You redeemed yourself from telling me go RTFM ;-)) 100 ohms is what I needed for now. Thanks again.

Anyone know what voltage a good KNOCK sensor should make when 'knocked?

Ok - lets put it another way - Can someone measure [electrical] resistnce across a known good one pretty please?

Any help appreciated! :wack:

TBH it does not matter what the law staes or his consumer rights - if the sellor wants to take exception he can - and therefore tie up his money for god knows how long - thus preventing him from geting on with the task of buying seats etc etc. I think you did the right thing (got your money back)- even though technically - they did the wrong thing ;-))

Jimmer - that's a nice shot of your car in your sig - great job.

No No No - it's 480bhp COS OF THE GO FASTER BLACK N WHITE TAPE ON THE SPOILER DUDES!!! Can't believe you lot missed that DAH! ;-)) (Looks like another lump of junk)

Maybe here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Garrett-T25-T28-Turbo-Rebuild-Kit-200SX-CA18DET-300ZX_W0QQitemZ220497261001QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3356a931c9 Never tried them so.... Best regards. Andy

I can recommend the 2fast2cool ones - don't have any experience of the others I am afraid. :D

On a short wheel base car - I think they can look ok for sure - but in it's standard form I think it screws the lines of the 2+2 big time. Just my POV so...

The 'pod' looks like it's held on with black tape in that picture!! http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/b...ck/zxdials.jpg

...having said that - I have a VERY modified one in a corner of my workshop/studio which might see the light of day on a car - one day! ;-))

It does'nt!! The ZCentre ones slopes backwards and you get a small pond behind the rear window - nice! :mad::eek: The original Strostek ones did'nt do this though....:cool:

Well when I have something finished - you guys can come down for tea and biscuits and tell me where I went wrong ha ha lol. Nothing to see but a pile of bits currently - but will promise to get back to ya when I have the whole dam thing in primer ok ;-))

Nice eco recycleable strut brace there sir ;-)) :dance:

Andy - I got the bits from 'Think Automotive' - 'Earl's call them something different 'Alluminium Pipe Adapter' or similar... Think are here: http://www.thinkauto.com/ Earls are here: http://www.earls.co.uk/index.php

Andy - I don't think Rich was 'having a dig' at us ;-)) Just covering his base - reading it back I guess the thread could have been a sales ploy in disguise - as used by many others in the past I am sure - and it only takes one plonker to ruin the party blah blah So now we are all guily until proven blah blah blah... MSN me andy_gidman_pulford@hotmail.com Cheers.

Thanks Rich.

Hi, Just thought I would post this as it has been a bit of a pain to get the right fittings together. basically I wanted to convert the fuel supply and return lines to AN fittings so that my entire fuel set up is solid. The fiittings I used (and there may be others) are an 5/16" to -5JIC hardline connector, which then accepts -8JIC x 1/2"UNF adapter - looks like this: And bunged to keep the crap out... It was only about £13.00 for all of the above. ;) Hop ethis helps someone else save some time and money ;-))

Well I appreciate the comments and offers guys but it is just not economical for me to attempt to profit from this - I am merely A:) Trying to share ideas in the true spirit of a forum and B:) Look for constructive criticism and comment from a captive audience with similar interests. :slap: I'm a Technology Consultant on a looooong looooooong contract working in the oil & gas industry currently and my day rate is scary lovely beautiful ;-)) :rofl:

I think you did the right thing - if your preserving the rear of your car reasonably close to stock - then they are - I think - the best option. :o I am not goin to be preserving the standard rear so... :) (I am even thinking that maybe the RX7 aftermarket light cluster looks pretty good) but will probably stick with Nissan. :headvswal Andy

I can recommend them as well ;-))
