Or will this be the same as a boost controller like apexi ? Is the only way to reduced hp on the car by boost too adjust the turbo wastegate?

high audio noise problem - dials
I have a problem with audio noise. I have installed indiglo dials from http://www.moman.pl . I have a bit of dynamo noise, but the real problem is noise when I turn on the lights - that would be the indiglo dials that goes on. When the audio is on I get a high pitch noise that is constant. Anyone have any good ideas..... - tried running phonocabels outside the car - did not help - tried earthing the amp do a different place. Also directly from battery- did not help - tried another amp - same problem - tried remove the cd-player - when moving the player I sometimes got tid of the noise - earth together maybe?

Engine tansplant. Help needed!
i don't know how the replacement engine looks like part wise. MarkDerby have covered a lot. You should consider if you want to repace the engine wire harness while the engine is out. We were 3 persons the first time we removed my engine. We used about 3 hours to get the engine out. The thing is just to remove all clips and wires in the engine and if you remove the gearbox (the easiest way i think) remember tools to remove the gearbox

Old and new style injectors and rails
The only thing I can think of that is pluss with the new style injector is that they tolerate E85. The old ones don't like E85.

Transmission banjo bolt
If i do it i would of course have to change the oil. There is just enough treath to enter the banjo bolt a bit. Not enouh to tighten the bolt
-
Transmission banjo bolt
:sad: Managed to destroy the treads in the top banjo bolt hole to the transmission oil cooler. Can I get a banjo bolt that is one size bigger and just use a bit of force when entering the bolt. The gearbox bonjo hole is aluminium so a steel bolt should just make new theards by itself if I can enter it...or... I don't want to remove the gearbox again if I don't have to

gauge recomendation
Hi I have used gauges from Autogauge. But now i'm fedup. Not accurate, break easly difficult to see in day light (chrome smoke serie) So can anyone recommend a gauge that is better, looks nice and not to expensive...

radiator pressure??
Can water go trough the turbo seals/gasket and out in the exhaust?
-
radiator pressure??
I can't see that flushing the engine would help. It's a newly build engine. Only done 20.000km. No sign of anything in the water. The fan setup is oem. NO electric fan or anything like that. Still got the viscous fan. Can touch the plenum for a few seconds. But to hot to hold the hand for a longer period. I have checked the temperature to the ecu with nistune. Used two seperate aftermarket gauges. But I haven't checked the actual temp on the water. Not sure about question 4. The big fan goes all the time.I can hear the Extra fans kick in when the temp reaches 115 degress with ac and internal fan off. The extra fan kicks in sooner when I have the AC on. But there should not be any need for the fans when driving.

radiator pressure??
I have some problems with the engine temp. There is water and everything in the radioator. No leaks that I can see. I drive the car and warm it up to 90 degrees c. Is it normal then when I open the radioator cap that all I get is a little whosh and little bit of water:huh: Is that normal in these cars? All other cars that I have opened the cap on when that warm comes with a lot of whosh,steam and water when I open. A bit extra info: The temp when driving long goes usally is between 100-115 when driving. And it shouldn't do that. I have got a Nismo thermostad. Mishiu something bigger radioator. When just standing idle the temp goes up intil the fan kicks in and it then goes down again as it should. And I have a greddy radiator cap... Is there a way to test is the radiator pressure?

Misfire or fuel cutting at 4k revs
I had the same problems this spring. In the end I found a leak to the turbo, a bad gasket on top of the turbos from the intercooler line i think. Have you checked for vacuum leaks ? (I ended up replacing and switching parts off and on again. MAF, Coils, spark plugs, ptu, fuel pressure regulator, adjusting the tps, checking timming. In the end it was a vacuum leak causeing wrong air/fuel mix.)

300zx TT cannot get it to start correctly, Help before it bursts into flames!!!!
Get it proper set up with fuel dampner and fuel regulator first and give it a try. If it still does not work check spark on the coils. Open the fuel line and prime the car and see if there comes fuel.
-
Misfire or fuel cutting at 4k revs
My guess: one one the coils. Check them. If one seems bad. Don't need to be broken. But if you have a bad coil you'll noticed it around 4000-5000rpm to begin with. change it and take the car for a spin.

Replacement Sills?
Or maybe take a trip to Poland and fix it..

MOT Emissions Fail??
another tip : fill up the tank with 50% fuel and 50% E85. You will not have any problem with normal driving, just don't floor it because it might go a bit lean then. But should get you trough the MOT without problem without cat and bad 02 sensor.
