He probably hasn't stopped driving yet!

Me to. I really enjoyed last year. The way my shifts have fallen I miss every event this year!

Post up the link. Shouldn't be a problem

Do you have a brake pipe spanner? The hex on the brake line fittings rounds of very easily if you use a normal open ended spanner. Also use a ring spanner on the nipples for the same reason.

If I were you, I would get an oil temperature gauge fitted even if its only a temporary measure to see what oil temperatures your getting. That looks like a 24 row cooler you have fitted. I'd be surprised if your oil even gets up to temperature when driving normally or cruising, especially in winter. I'd also make sure you have a thermostatic take off plate fitted. That's far too big for an NA zed driven normally on the road and I think would do more harm then good. To put it in perspective, my 442bhp Supercharged zed has a 19 row cooler with a thermo valve and only 2/3 of it in airflow and that runs about right. Djtimo's TURBO zed that makes a lot of heat has a 24 row (like yours) and he found that he had to cover it up in winter because his oil wasn't getting warm enough!

I would suggest getting a few spare bleed nipples before you start, your likely to need to replace a couple.

When you said "1 x aerosol blue plasicote from repairs to grandsons bike 1 x gold hammerite from repainting my old skyline calipers 1 x red high temp from painting my old scooby brake calipers 2 x household paint brushes" I thought But it actually looks really good!

Good stuff Darren. Nice figures. Mark says Approx + 40hp for flywheel power. If your expecting a wet one, I hope your tyres are good.

You'll enjoy the home. Were the final results the same as you told me yesterday?

Hi Sam, to the club.

Import duty etc... Generally if you ad about 30% you won't be too far off.

+1 on Ian's, Sarnie's, buiscuits, Pete's and AK's I'm sure any member would be able to organise a meet under the Mod's watchful eye without it causing too much trouble, no real need to become a mod for that. Personally I think the current set up works well. In this case, I think its good that those in control are of the older generation, It keeps the forums' standards higher and keeps the forum more on topic. Imagine if half the Mods were voted in cos they were the 'popular' young ones, it would be just a matter of time before text speak was the norm and we'd be having meets in McDonalds and Halfords car parks. I'm sure if a member of any age, from any region (even Scotland ) consistently contributed to the forum and showed the maturity required to be a fair and level headed Mod, the team would approach them.

No but your firmly on the watch list!!

Iv'e never had a bad experience with the NHS. Although I've not been admitted for about 10 years I am still a regular outpatient and have spent my fair share of time admitted in the past. I've had bupa cover for the last 5 years (through work) but have never felt the need to use it.

to the club.

Good news Personally, if a car runs rough, the plugs would have been the first place I'd check Its a shame you didn't change them before the tune as I don't suppose you've got the best of it. At least your sorted and it was nothing sinister Now get ya mods fitted, although you'll need another tune after fitting them.

Said the Eskimo to his pal :wink:

Cheers Mark. I do try to listen and understand when people explain things to me. This is interesting, I was planning on relocating my air filter to behind the front bumper. I would be using 90mm piping so shouldn't restrict the airflow. Can you explain your thoughts on this please Mark, I was under the impression that as the alterations would be before the MAF sensor, any changes in airflow on the intake (as long as its not restricted) would be negated as the MAF output would determine the fueling?

For example; Without a FRS, your FI car ran 52 psi base Fuel pressure, when you were boosting at 10 psi your effectively reducing your FP to 42 psi due to having to overcome the 10psi in your engine. So to get enough fuel in the engine you would have to tune the ecu to leave the injectors open for longer or it would run lean. WITH a FRS The external regulator uses boost/vacuum as a reference - so for every 1psi boost your Supercharger/turbo produces the regulator add 1psi to your fuel pressure, effectively giving a consistent FP seen at the injectors. ........ I think .

I'm no expert and could be wrong,- but the FRS allows........edit: Rather tan type it all out I've copied this from the AAM website - "One negative aspect of the factory return less system is that the factory fuel pressure regulator is installed in the fuel tank. The factory fuel pressure regulator does not allow fuel pressure adjustments and is incapable of holding consistent fuel pressure with most aftermarket fuel pumps. The factory fuel pressure regulator is also unable to add fuel pressure under boost. This system is a must have for any forced induction supercharged or turbocharged vehicle and any big shot nitrous vehicles because the AAM Competition Fuel Return System removes the factory regulator's control of fuel pressure and replaces the control with a vacuum/boost sensitive adjustable fuel pressure regulator. This allows you to adjust both the level of base fuel pressure and increase fuel pressure under boost."
