The oil pressure should always be around 30psi on standing at idle rpm

I always run my tyres around 35/36 psi depending on sidewalls. It's trial on error to find what suits yourself really so go maybe to 36 and it feels too hard start to let air out.

If you search there has been a few threads on the last couple of weeks about this plenty of info already on here for clutch issues as the cara are getting older you can imagine most problems have been found and discussed many times now

Thank god I never let my missus take out a student loan. Sounds like its a right PITA

That is hilarious! Cannot wait to see this one unfold ! You are a legend mate

Something you have done has caused a short probably. Maybe a nick in a wire or something? Something shorting to earth. Always disconnect the battery when working on it also. There's a chance you could blow the bcm if something else shorts.

Looks fab. What you gonna do about the headlight washers? Was that the reason you changed them? Think that's what the mot guys are being told to clamp down on. Looks sweet though

Being a track car wouldn't put me off. Most people that go to the effort of tracking a car generally take muh more care of the car. My car has oil changes almost monthly during the summer. The engine has never skipped a beat, never been ran on cheap fuel. Evidence of Pads, discs and tyres don't prove anything except theyve been changed. What I'd be looking at now is, tyres on it now, quality of pads and discs that are on it, structural/ chassis damage, signs for radiators being changes etc indicates that it could have been involved in a frontal collision (wouldn't let his put me off unless they deny it or the chassis has damage.) Evidence of regular servicing(ie ask them) oil that's been used for servicing and how often. And most of all.. Drive it and see how it feels. Looks very clean to have been a track car IMO. Looks more like a showcar (that looks like a track car). Obvious things like lots of small windscreen chips etc would indicate its been on track, roadrash all over wings bonnet and bumper.

This is my bro's m5. Its an absolute monster of a car and such a nice comfortable place to be in. The gearbox is a bit notchy though for town use but in m-sport mode it is night and day.

M6 = But unfortunately with the new shape out its made the old one look dated and tired tbh

I have one also which I wasnt gonna sell. I changed my stereo so no longer need it. If pics are required I will post them up.

The silenced decats obviously have a little restriction compared to unsilenced. The fujitsubo will be loud with decats I reckon. I loved the scorpion exhaust I had linked with decats and a y-pipe. Sounded beautiful. No drone on motorways and only a beautiful noise when on the gas.

Bluestuff ndx is the track pad

We've all watched too many episodes of Taggert Pete Rag c Nesbit is my entire cultural upbringing for understanding the Scottish way if life! Kass = kiss (Scottish phonetics) Watch "Still Game" its truely amazing

I dont use new posts, I tend to use view active topics and just scroll from there View new posts only gives me 2 also

Decats are noisy for every day use. Horsham Developments(trader on here "jez") do silenced ones which I would pick over japspeed. I have japspeed decats and they are fine in terms of quality but day to day driving the rasp might not be for everybody and then its a pain at mot time for some people. Berk hfc's may be more suited for you. What exhaust do you have at the moment?

Nice car, best colour also

Were your parents born in HK? What about their parents? BTW, I went to school in HK, absolutely loved it. Yes, genetically I am HK chinese Leo's just left here today to head back to HK for a superlong holiday.. feel sorry for him on that long journey.

Get well soon Dave

My brothers 996 c4s with the Porsche adjustable sport exhaust sounded I'll see if I can dig out a video of it. It was one of most spectacular roars I've ever heard I'm currently looking at a Boxster S for my missus. Doing alot of research before delving in though. We have a Porsche approved specialist mechanic not far who quoted great prices for servicing etc.

As said above... Zmanalex will sell you the exact same parts nissan supply, The exedy clutch and LUK flywheel for a third of the price. The HR engine has a slightly different clutch to the earlier DE engines. Most people opt for a lightweight fidanza flywheel which makes the engine rev a little easier but also produces light chatter at lower rpm which sometimes puts people off

I've seen one sitting in Alex's yard in pieces with similar damage so it very hard to tell. The garage would need to provide the op with a total bill for repairs before its deemed fixable or for parts. This damage will be very visable to anybody buying a car. They look under the bonnet and see the radiators been replaced etc and probably stress marks where it's bent. It's a hard call. If it was mines I wouldn't be fixing.

After people seeing this I think you would struggle to sell on after you repair it to be honest.

Why would you need a new bonnet. Vortech kit is most common used. Very rarely come up second hand. Standard engine will be fine for 400bhp but you will need accessories such as bigger injectors, fuel return system, fuel pump

Fail on the oldies part Such a legendary film collection "it's not how you stand by your car, it's how you race your car... You better learn that" "Nos .. I need nos!" You can tell I've not watched every one of them about a million times
