measuring boost
As explained to me: The boost guage measures the pressure in the intake manifold. On tickover it shows a negative presure, because the engine is sucking air and in effect, trying to cause a vacuum in the intake. When you run on boost, the turbos are forceing air into the intake, creating a positive pressure, like blowing up a balloon. I think thats about right, hope it of some help.

How to refurbish 3 piece split rims.
Thanks, you have made it look quite simple. Had a quote from a tyre fitter, £75.00 per wheel. I've been pumping mine up every day.

They are now saying it's a hoax, a pro-mo for his new film. Hope so.

Windscreen wiper fault, can you help.
This happened to mine, I replaced the wiper motor and all was fine. I was told that the "pin" inside the motor was either dirty or worn and no longer "being seen" by the reciever, there for, it was not moveing, so it didn't need to stop.

Injectors?
Are they easy to fit?

Injectors?
Hey peeps, How can I tell what injectors are fitted, where do I get bigger ones if I need them, and how do I fit them? Or have I got it wrong, it sounds like pinking when I turn the boost up to around 15psi and give it a boot full. Cheers:wacko:

Going rate for engine rebuild
It is as I bought it, and said to have air filter, racing ecu, single exhaust system, programable 4 channel boost controller with the high setting at 1.2b. I normally run ch1 30% and ch2 60% then there is ch3 80% and ch4 100%=1.2b. I cant stop ch3 hitting the limiter and ch4 sounds like its pinking so they dont get used.

Going rate for engine rebuild
So that would bring it back to 300ish, I don't think mine is making it with the boost turned off. it is gesstemated at 450, would a standard engine take that much?
-
Going rate for engine rebuild

Is this OK
The first idea sounds safer, dont go buggering about with the brakes if they are working fine.

Driving slow for once is ok, but only once.

Got some mpg's the other day
I had to go to Milton Keynes from Slough, and back. M4, M25, M1 but I forgot about the road works. 50mph most of the way, so boreing, but instead of the normal 50 miles to a quarter of a tank, I did the complete trip of 117 miles on a third of a tank. Wont be doing that again, far to economical.

What you guys think of this 300zx?
Lovely looking car. The mileage difference you found, could it be 54k-miles and 120k-km, Just a thought.
