thats no way to treat a she!!!

pm if you have any q;s

sounds like they're planning another one for october this year...

could set up a 350z team for next year...

Ok here we go! Tools needed: Socket Wrench with number 8 and 10 Allen Key nr 5 Cleaner: & Optional *I like it too & and old tshirt/rag etc to clean the trottle body with It took me 5-10 minutes to take off the throttle body from my car and put it on the table. Expect total 30 min for this job I'd say. Lets see where this baby is located in the engine bay! My engine bay looks a bit different from normal ones since I got the Kinetix Velocity manifold... you will need to loosen 2 more nuts/bolts then I do (will cover this though) First we need to loosen some screws that hold the intake tubing. #Release the bolt that you will have fastened to the top of your plenum think it's nr 10 as shown in red rectangle below Then hold it up a bit and release the below shown bolt, using the socket wrench with nr 8 socket. Once release (not all the way...) you will go down to the following bolt shown below in red and release this one too, using socket nr 10. you will need to release this lower bolt too, located on the middle of the tubing. Think it's a nr 10 socket there to (not sure since mine ain't connected no more ) See below for location Now you will need to pull the top of the tubing off the TB housing, you will need to use some twisting/jerking moves here once off you do the same on the lower tubing connecting to the airbox once off you can twist the whole thing to the right hand side, mind so you don't twist it to much there is a hose connected to the bottom of the tubing. Now you can also see the TB internals, hopefully not to dirty... Mine wasn't since I cleaned it not long ago. You got two options here, spray the cleaner spray in the hole while you keep the TB open then leave the solution to do it's magic for 5-10 minutes then spray some more onto the cloth and rub at the top and bottom until clean, I would normally do this but since it started raining (again) I decided to take the whole throttle body off and do this inside instead for this you will need the Allen key nr 5 and take out the 4 bolts two on each side, see photos below for illustration on location. Once loose you need to disconnect the electric connector thingy. I'm pretty happy when it looks like this Don’t forget to clean here to if you take the TB off! Now it's free! Find a suitable table to work on, if the miss isn’t home the kitchen table is a gold location Clean until you're happy no more dirt comes off, refit in reverse order and do an ECU reset and possibly a throttle body position reset (never did the latter on mine)

Thought I'd just share this link ... some craic! 5.32 ...

was this legal or what?

The point of this reply is...... ??? You made some ignorant remark on one of my threads the other week too... really don't see the need for it pal !!! Nice pics Shire.... love the Veyron +1 on pics, not sure I like the crome stuff on the Veyron... and why the heck are they HIDING it in the shop!!!

u sure it's a Veryron?

Didnt watch it all but is that a Z @ 25secs???

You'll be VERY happy once you got her

some frecking craic

Just had to post that.

@ Gilly's post, get a hold of GIMP (google it) it's good as photoshop if you're not a pro I'd say. and it's free. This is just in on the start of the nifty race: ( go to 1min )

I'll go out in a minute...

be careful doing this lads, over here if you leave the car without visible plates on the county councils roads the 'litter officer' can confiscate your vehicle and keep it... (would be cool to hide when taking photos, or some other unknown system tries to take photos of you)

Uend up gettinw?hat ddi What did you end up getting???

For a good causethose plasticpigs bits went around the track for women rapecentre in dublin

wonder if you would be better off building your own box...

its pretty expensive to do though, I'd say around 10k all in for (euro) for work like that to get her up to 4.2, think you can squeeeze more then 370 outta her though.

uuuh back hurting from my 6 hour stint on a honda 90 cc was pretty epic I gotta say! will post a link to the running start of 50 honda's.... lol beer and quick dinner now solid!

did this on the altezza yesterday... epic fail on my part of me for never doing that before... it was SO dirty! cleaned out the filter too... revs better and doesnt feel like a tractor when cold... better start looking after that poor yoke now I'll get on it Monday if its not pissing rain as normal....
