  1. feck me those instructions are boggy cut the wires rather than damage your board and connect the converter to the wires mate
  2. give it a few years , that'll all change

    remember we can choose who we want to be friends with...people have to earn my respect, they dont get that just by saying hello, if someone acts like a tosser i treat em like a tosser
  4. becauser you want a insulator
  5. oh my freakin god.....runs and hides holding head in hands
  6. chromium is a very good conductor of heat not an insulator, just because its shiny on the outside it is molecular bonded to the metal and just acts as a conducter as the original would
  7. right autobox is just a big hydraulic pump to put it simply...if it isnt cooled at all the hydraulic fluid will totally fry and the heat degenerative components in the box will break, doesnt matter wether it is a na or a tt, the main difference will be on acceleration where the tt one will be put under higher pressure than the na, at all other times the box's will be under the same conditions. Hydraulic oils have a maximum operating competancy at given temperatures ,As the temperature of petroleum-based hydraulic fluid increases, its viscosity decreases. If fluid temperature increases to the point where viscosity falls below the level required to maintain a lubricating film between the internal parts of the component, damage will result. The temperature at which this occurs depends on the viscosity grade of the fluid in the system. Hydraulic fluid temperatures above 180°F (82°C) damage seals and reduce the service life of the fluid. But depending on the grade of fluid, viscosity can fall to critical levels well below this temperature. if you need any more info i will go look out my tech books from my hydraulics course and see what i can dig up for you
  8. bugger off again ....this time for 10 years and i shoulda caught ya up :p
  9. done it...1000 of the buggers
  10. I thought i wouldnt do this but noticed i only need another 2...so to hell with doing it dignified
  11. as andy says when you fit a filter that " breathes " better on a turbo car all it stands a chance of doing is helping the spool up time marginally due to less impedence on the turbo intake, the induction kits will work better on cars with raised boost due to you trying to get more out of a turbo than it is supposed to give.
  12. Pictures here http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=78558
  13. viper or wait for the new one from peru
  14. they still do kyb's for the 300zx im sure of it...think smithy does em as well
  15. personally craig i wasnt looking for em and just skipped past the post with that picture on and didnt spend time digesting it...good on ya for looking tho...lol
  16. hey hun...ive worked through 2 sick notes cause i felt guilty about it...its never appreciated and the world wont end if you need time off to get better..your health is more important....gutted for ya and hope you get your z back up to scratch soon
  17. those look like the baileys db26 dump valves, if so they tend to leak boost at low manifold pressure which is how they are designed apparently.
  18. gotta be subscribed to edit, I do oil and filter every 3000miles, sparkies are good for 60000 miles and smithy does em and also cooler ones for higher boost engines...only thing i can see wrong from those pictures is someone has put the steering wheel on upside down :slap: Working on em is something that takes good planning and thought and also trying really hard not to drop things in the engine bay
  19. R33gtr without a doubt, whilst the nsx looks amazing and handles well the gtr is more capable on the road
  20. As with all cars preventative maintenance is important, keep em well looked after and you will be ok although it is no garauntee as crap happens and if it does with one of these then you are looking at large bucks.
  21. I had a Audi s2 and loved the sure handling the 4wd system gave, you find yourself going into bends faster and getting on the power earlier, in the wet its a pure godsend and if I could afford another as a second car I would.
  22. ive only just learned to read...oops feel free to delete this post
  23. http://www.pistonheads.com/roadtests/doc.asp?c=47&i=14850
  24. Sincere condolences to all his family
  25. take the car for a long drive...30 minutes or so, let it idle for 15 minutes after this to see if it starts smoking(pcv valves usually)
