Excellent stuff after the thread the other day i actually went out before knowing this and did some night shot experiments now have to work out how to get exact picture i want.

I had looked at demon and the reducers are only available in 4 colours, not the required yellow and are the extreme version not the standard hoses, they have the other hose but not both,

Amber have both listed, Why would you avoid them have you had issues with them?

Maf sensor is also fitted in the wrong position.

To be honest it just went back on in the position it was in and i assumed it was right well you know what they say assumption is the mother of all f#@kups

Well i dont have the problem of it running out early it does use the whole gauge and more. sensors are a pain to change i believe means opening the fuel tank i think

JDM tanks are 70 litre. The most i've ever got in my JDM tank is 73.5 litres, and my MPG pod had been flashing as empty for close to 40 miles (long story, on the way back from the nurburgring, late for the ferry, took a wrong turning and had to go 17 miles toward paris whilst on empty )

 

So that suggests to me you've got a UK tank

yeah mine flashed ----dte for about 20 miles at most then i got over 76 litres in it had to do 2 transactions as the pump stops pumping at £99

Mine does go above the 'full' line by a mm or so - Yours looks excessive!!!

 

EDIT - Could it be the angle the photo was taken making it appear excessively over the 'full' line??

Its not i trick of angle after filling up square on it always goes past the F

Well when i bought the car it came with the air intake pipe, blue hoses but with a cone filter on it and no sheild or anything, so i purchased an airbox off a member on here second hand and replaced the cone filter with the standard box with a hks filter in it, i did think it looked like there should be something else there as there are clips on the panel but it wasn't there when i bought it so who knows where it is propperly in someones garage with the original airbox.

the engine cover and strut brace were removed as i was fitting my plenum spacer and polishing the plenum as shown in another thread or actually here

as for giving you my pipe (that sounds wrong, perverted mind i think) if i can only find a full yellow kit you can have it mate. so where do i find a yellow samco air pipe kit

I'm wanting to replace the blue hoses on the air intake on the picture below with yellow ones to match my coolant hoses anyone know the best place to get these, the one at the maf end is a reducer aswell.

Many thanks

Back in the day when my village had its own garage i may of, but now i just use tescos and pay at the pump,

So back to topic no one else seems to get a fuel reading this high wonder what going on then

I cant even manage to go in, Pay at the Pump i do.

Thats my thoughts exactly i normally just do it get it over and done with and fill the bugger up. its out my way to go to the petrol station so would rather not do it all the time, plus i drive a mixed route and still average about 10km/l as most the roads are crap cheap surface country roads with many potholes and ups and downs after that i only do about 5 miles a day on dual carrage way then its town driving for the rest of the journey

Well mine is JDM and i put over 76 litres in it yesterday, so im confused i thought i read somewhere uk ones were smaller, but perhaps it was other way around and mines been replaced with a uk one at some point.

Maybe i will just do half a tank in future, if you reckon it will make a difference, yeah i was thinking it was a bit excessive going over that much. was wondering if its where its got an 80l jdm tank and the clocks have been changed to uk or something so as to read mph and its messed the fuel reading up.

I just fill up every couple of weeks saves driving to a petrol station every few days, but just a niggling thing that i wondered if could be corrected somehow.

Does any one elses fuel readout go off the scale after filling up like in the picture and is there a way to get it to read correctly.

I thought maybe it was because people didnt see it as i only found it this morning, but the thread had a lot of views, maybe run it so the winner of each challenge goes in the 350zuk calander if it could be arranged, doesn't have to be the main picture but there are often three or four pictures on each month, but then of course the challenge would have to be restricted to 350 & 370's and would need agreemnet of calander organiser. If been wanting excuses to get out and use my camera again properly rather than just point and clicking. Thought this was a good idea myself and suprised there wasn't any interest.

how did this go only just seen this thread and would of been interested in entering somin, is there any more challenges planned

Well it took a while to do using the heat gun and the only problem is then heating the surrounding plastic to much and deforming that, as i say if you have someone that can help will make it much easier, as a another point if its only condensation could you not remove the light take the bulbs etc out then heat the inside with a hairdryer to remove condensation then run some black silicone around the seals to seal any holes save taking it apart.

Yeah not having an oven they would fit in and having to use a heat gun was a pain would be easier if you had someone to help and a suction pad then one could heat the seal while the other one gently pulls apart from one corner working across if you know what i mean.

Couple of better ones, still getting to much reflection in the lens.

was just having a quick look, and im sure i seen it in a propper post somewhere on the net when i was searching before buying one, but a quick search resulted this http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index ... 523AAvcY4V

Thanks Mate was a pain in the arse to do as the instructions i had said about baking the headlight in an oven for 8 mins at 250 but there was no way a zed headlight would fit in my oven so the trusty heat gun had to come out.

Next i need to get a yellow overflow pipe for the rad and to change the blue hoses on the intake for yellow ones. Anyone no a good place to get these. there are also a few other bits under the bonnet i painted yesterday to match and i have a bolt set from chilli on the way.

Got a few things i been wanting to get done this weekend, first on the list was fitting the plenum spacer that had been sitting on top of my wardrobe for 2 months but while doing that done a few other bits and bobs.

Before

After

well that lot took up saturday, so on sunday did this

Before

After.

Unfortunately it was 1.30am at this point and had to leave last few bolts out till morning and was too dark to get a propper picture, and it needs a clean now more so than before.

In case anyone else needs some these look a good deal.
