weve got a long drive to Bristol next month mate with both of them.:devil2:

found a pic of the front aswel. http://www.topspeed.se/topspeed/reportage/elmia2003/index.htm

actually, if it wasn't for the awful rear lights and spoiler and a back bumper that doesn't fit that has the potential to be a looker.

you know what its like mate, previous owner probably tightened them to death, then they get damp where water runs off the bonnet.

lol when your doing 60mph and it steps out at 11psi its defiantly running right hahaha bit of a moment hey gaz lol

also another thought if you've got a boost leak you could be loosing metered air and creating a rich mix.

mine was quite high at idle, fully decatted. however it passed, was fine off idle. however I had loadsa shitty oil burning off in my exhaust from where my turbos had blown, it ran out of mot while I was fixing it so had no choice but to get it tested before it had fully burnt off. - - - Updated - - - whats your base idle and is adjusted correctly?

here you go veilside eci :) http://www.zshop.ca/parts/z32-veilside-eci-wing/

right I think its done, I got ye olde blow torch out, bent the spanner and popped off the water line got another nth of a turn on the nut and that's it no way of moving it anymore, with the current tools. anyways cleaned it up with some carb cleaner, ran the engine up to temp. no leak. however I dunno how well it will hold at higher engine loads and higher oil pressures. so il keep an eye on it, if it continues to weep il have to crack out some crows feet. fingers crossed....

The rear spoiler is a veilside spoiler.

that would explain it, lol. I wish they were aftermarket tubs lol. one of these days.

Give it a bloody good clean up first get some penertrating fluid into aswel.

Cheers jimmer, got one or two bits to do then im gonna have another crack at it from a different angle. Il let you know.

Its actually the 12mm one on the top of the turbo, I can get a spanner on it but because of the flats position cant turn it.

No ideas?

disconnect the battery for half hour then plug back in, that will clear the codes,however as smithy said I think it sounds a little more than a fuel pump. could be maf or tps or a boost leak. years of sitting around could have seen rubbers going hard and poppin off splitting etc. and the wet weather recently is greta for fecking your maf.

I obviously didn't do my passenger side turbo oil feed line up quite tight enough, it doesn't drip or anything, so its not that loose however there is a permanent bead of oil rond the fitting which eventually runs round it to the underside, It never makes it to the point of dripping as it evaporates off before it gets there. Anyways ive got pretty good access to it as my air cons deleted, with the battery out its not too bad to get to however one of the water lines is in the way, any tips to getting the thing nipped up again? special shaped spanners etc? or am I going to have to undo the water line?

safety boost isn't that noticeable it merely limits the boost to 7psi.

Isnt it pablitos car? Like it though.

Cant see that hitting the streets

The age old conception is that with an intercooler that is more efficient than stock, you get more horsepower. How true is that? do you automatically get more horses, or does it just allow you to run higher levels of boost more densely and i.e safer? so not really a power gain more a safety gain? just wondering what the facts are, and in reality all the people you see running feck off fmic's are more show than go on a car on stock tubs etc. Obviously I understand, that at a certain point with bigger tubs etc , a larger intercooler is required to process an increased level of hotter air and lower that temperature to a safe level. However what I'm asking about here is stock or near stock cars.

found it now cheers bud :)

thankyou kindly :)

ls1 is becoming more common by the day, check out hybridz just google it, theres a chap in the us with a single turbo vh45de

Americanism I suppose short for convertable, were as you say here we naturally say softtop.
