John-boy on here has had both, when i asked him he said the manual is deffo quicker, stock for stock.

happens all the time to me now!! :rolleyes: :D its kinda fun when you want it to happen, no so much fun when its unexpected

if you cant decide, i'll have the £3k off you & spend it on my zed!! :D :D

dont you go selling it for more than i sold it to you!!! ;) :D

:p :p :p ;) ( :D ) ps Gavo, if your ever down south i'll be glad to take you out for a spin. :D

if one sensor was faulty the abs warning light should come on.

Trouble with too much rear toe is when the wieght comes off one wheel, the other wheel will try to make the rear of the car turn. mine too had over 1.5 deg toe on the rear wheels when i checked it :rolleyes:

a clutch release bearing will make a noise when the clutch pedal is depressed. if the noise goes when the pedal is depressed its prob in the gearbox, more than likely the primary shaft bearing, as this is what you are stopping from turning when you press the clutch.

Yup, mines lovely with those seat heaters on! mmmmmmmmmm seat heaters. :D

well that is the problem danny, the dual cone in front of the afm will flow more air than a single cone, but the afm is the limiting factor after that.

just clicked over 90k miles the other day

thats cos it was de-tuned to keep to the agreed 280bhp jap limit ;)

hey, if your gonna quote me then at least put the smilie on the end of my statement that i used! :p :p :p Paul Newman had a dig at high running costs for a TT, I had a dig back for lack of performance. lighten up :rolleyes: jeesh! but while were on the subject (& all imho) I also dont know why they made a 1.3 capri, reliant robins, sinclair c5's, tinned peaches or squeezy cheese. & if they made a 4 cyl Lambo, that would prob appeal to a wider market as well, but should they make one?? hell no (again imo) i dont think im ignorant just for having an opinion, especially when as i said it, it was light hearted fun anyway. :D

autometer "Z" series (what else!! :D ) is what I got from smithy

think i paid around £50 for a gauge, & the same for a replacement a pillar trim with holder. speak to smithy.

unless you are talking about the JWT type dual pop charger, designed to have 1 cone per bank, the afm is relocated on 1 side of the engine & the chip then has to be reprogrammed to suit.

oi!! I was just about to ask those very questions!!!:D

how na owners can keep spouting about repair/maintenance being far lower is beyond me im afraid! the only difference is the turbos! no maintenance costs attached, and how often do they really go? mine are 9 years old & done 90k miles afaik, same as the rest of the car! i think a couple on here have done 130/140k miles without probs. & if they do go, 2 new uprated hybrids cost about £1k i think smithy told me. not cheap, but not the end of the world. but lets face it, the reason most of us buy these things is for the performance not great economy! buy a micra if you want good economy!:D i dont really know why nissan bothered even thinking about making a n/a 300!! :p

Look, if you de-cat you reduce exhaust back pressure. thats the point of doing it!! if you have a performance rear section, then thats gonna reduce back pressure even more. got it? good!

ahhhhhhhh, i see now, you need a special "back pressure valve" !! :D :rolleyes:

Hi hoppy, have fun in your motor & may she always be shiney side up :D

i especially like the quality of the finish!!:D

I fitted a fidanza flywheel to mine, the only thing i would say is the centre of the flywheel is a very tight fit over the crank to allow for different expansion rates of an alloy flywheel over a steel one when it gets hot. the instructions stated to carefully scrape away any excess material or heat up on a warming plate before installation to ensure it sits flat on the crank.

and how would you do that exactly?? without removing the turbo?? hmmm?? the turbo bolts onto the manifold, the gasses flow past into the downpipes. how would you re route the gasses? this im interested to hear ;)

depends what you call easy! you have to cut open the back of it, inside you will see fine silver wires soldered to the board, give each one a gentle tug with tweezers, on mine one of the end earth contact wires had come off. i soldered in a piece of wire in its place (its easier than trying to solder the origional) oh, & theres a nasty gel around them you need to clean off. then just fix the back on again with some sealant.
