smell of petrol
Check all the fuel lines for leaks. As it starts to get a bit cooler towards winter everyone starts having these problems as things contract and leak. Tighten up all the clips on the fuel pipes at the top/back of the engine and check there's no leaks under the fuel regulator and on the small pipe under the plenum/throttle pulleys. You can sometimes have quite a bad leak and not notice because as soon as the engine is warm the fuel evaporates and you can't see it. You can test for this by putting talc on the pipe joins before you start it then look for any thats been washed off. Think I need to type faster!

just when things were going fine
I presume you got his details? If he has said he isn't insured I'd get the police involved imediately as if he refuses to pay up a month down the line then you'll be stuffed. He should have insurance anyway!

how do i find out about my ECU?
If it's going off the scale then it's already got a boost upgrade of some sort! The needle should only go to 9psi (0.6 bar) which is about two thirds of the way up the scale. If yours is an import then the gauge will be in mmHg. You'll probably find it's got boost jets installed in the wastegate pipes and these will have to be removed before fitting the controller. Only problem is, you're not going to see any power increase with your expensive controller!

NZR. Ebay. What should I do
Yes but unless its a business then you won't be able to. I'd risk the negative feedback if I were you.

Your plastic undertrays
Mine were badly ripped and dragging down the road so i took them off recently. Definately want a new set as all the air is blowing past my intercoolers etc.

Strange exhaust
Just block off the small pipes when you change the exhaust. You could remove them with all the AIV junk from under the wings.

how do i find out about my ECU?
Yes you should be fine to up the boost to around 1bar / 14psi with no problems. Has the boost controller been removed from the car before you got it? It must have had one with those other mods. What is it boosting to on the gauge now?
-
how do i find out about my ECU?
You don't LOL Its a performance ECU and that's about it - nothing too exciting. Increases fueling over stock boost levels, improves response, increases maximum revs by a couple of hundred RPM, removes speed limiter etc. Same as other ECU's really.

Nismo parts
Courtesy Parts are very quick sending to the UK so just order online and they usually arrive in a few days. I've ordered stuff on a sunday night and it's arrived tuesday morning at a third of the price of Nissan UK.
