datascan result help
no, it dropped to 18 degrees when he was at a higher rpm. Its 15 degrees only at idle. The autobox retards timing on gearchanges to make the change smoother.

BHP results .. are there 2 diff standards?
248bhp will be at the fly, otherwise your looking at 330'ish at the fly which would be a 100bhp increase and the most powerfull NA VG30DE in the world ;) Still, both are very good figures. The wifes NA is complely standard, would be interested to see what figure it puts out, and then try out some of the basic mods (induction, decat, catback, headers, chip..etc)

Cost of linking alarm to central locking...
Its very simple, and every alarm engineer should be able to do it. Like most Japanese cars you need to install a Central locking selenoid motor for the alarm to work the central locking. This is basicall a servo motor that moves a rod on the central locking. I cant understand why the enginner had trouble with this, unless the problem he was something completly different.

my bovs
The screw should be for adjustment (the same affect as manually shortening the spring). Try screwing them in more.

Found this ECU chip in my car
A few imports come over with the Central 20. Its map will depend on exact version, from mild to aggressive and will be mapped for 100+ ron fuel which can be a risk in the UK.

Miles Per Gallon Spreadsheet
In my TT. running 13psi I get around 19-23 mpg around town, and up to around 33mpg on the Motorway. In the NA, Im not sure, but prob not quite as economical on the motorway (it revs higher for rpm vs speed) but more economical around town....although it tends to get thrashed more...so maybe not LOL

resister mod
Spend the money on a properly mapped ECU Chip. Your only looking at £50-£100 from one of the Performance parts/services Traders here. If it is currently running lean then its nothing to do with the Air filter.

Higher Wattage Headlamp Bulbs Vs HID
There is no comparison between 100w bulbs and HID's. HID's are more than worth there cost. However the biggest problem with stock zed headlights, as that they quickly gather dirt inside the lenses, and if your finding the stock High beam poor then that is definatly the problem. Taking apart the headlights and giving them all a good clean will give you comparable headlights to most non-HID cars!

WTF Twin Turbo Madness.... ????
Yep, very economical on Motorway journeys when cruising off-boost......however, thrashing about town is completly different story.

Shocks for my Jap Spec
The U.S Shocks will have the Actuators on them for the electric adjustable suspension. Jap cars never had them. http://www.zcentre.co.uk can supply original Jap shocks, as can MJP (see forum traders section) If you want aftermarket, then any aftermarket shocks will fit (for US,UK or JAP)
