Much better mate

Also love the wheels, imo suit the GTR more than the old (who cares if they aren't sexy bronze TE37's )

yep deffo get spacers, my car is also crying out for them lol

Im also interested in more pics too, is that paint or a wrap?

Id say keep the 350 and get a bike, at least for this year. Much cheaper option too, then you have all bases covered. Plus if you still feel the need for a 370 after you can still do that

Anyone that was having issues i.e. OP sorted theirs out yet?

If I find the time today I will give it another go lol

I used that guide initially lmao, I will leave it for today as I dont fancy buggering around in the drive while its raining. But When I get round to it many pictures will be taken and a guide done once I have figured it out lol.

ok so the one on the left is the offending connector? It doesnt seem to locate at all if you try it the other way round, im going to have to go out to the car and fiddle lol

I feel so bloody stupid that a couple of plugs has me stumped

The only one i can see that may be possible to plug in the wrong way round is the one that plugs into the existing throttle sensor in the car, but i plugged mine in the same way that i took the other one out as it clicks when its situated, i imagine you wouldnt get a click if you had it in the other way round.

the one on the right in this pic?

The one on the left is the plug I had my suspicions with initially as it doesn't seem to push in far enough

I had the exact same problem mate, and im 100% sure I didnt have this illusive plug that is poorly designed the wrong way round.

You cant actually plug it in the wrong way round imo, it just doestnt seem to plug in far enough (perhaps the design of the connector has changed as it will not locate trying the other way around)

I too would love to find out how you get this to work, like you say there is three things to connect how can one possibly get it wrong?

edit: is the one you can possibly plug in the wrong way round the one that actually plugs into the car, or the extra loom part that daisy chains into the throttle controller?

one of these (not my pic)

Then a grande punto sporting T-Jet, blue, leather interior etc. Silly me bought it brand new at a cost of 14k when the turbos came out (not my pic)

After driving my friends TVR Griffith 500 I was on the hunt for something a bit more special

Shame the engine threw a rod and set it on fire...

On to the next one...

For when it was crap outside had one of these

Then moved on to

Ooh welcome to the site, about the clutch I wouldnt have said it was overly heavy, not any more than another car. Thought about an auto zed?

Your PS13...I almost bought that from the previous owner, but I couldnt sell my VX220 before I went off to the states last summer. Hows she treating you?

Wish I wasnt poor at the moment

I made a new one on one of the lathes in the workshop

But as others have said it just unscrews lol

This is an awesome thread, genuinely wish I was this knowledgeable with car stuff.

Deffo red with black mouth and lips, out of interest where did you get your N2 from?

have a go at baking them in the oven on a low heat yourself to split and clean up then reseal.

If that goes tits then maybe source some new ones, but shouldnt be too bad. I did that on my old VX220 and am considering doing it to the zed's lights as they have got dirt inside.

I really dislike the Marcos' normally, however the GT3 and GT2 versions are a tad nicer

Think this is one of the ones that runs in the Dutch Supercar Challenege. I remember the one that was brought to Donnington had some crazy aero, but couldnt find a pic of that one.

Fitted my XYZ coilovers the other weekend, not overly difficult. One tip for the fronts is get the whole front of the car up and on stands will make your life a million times easier due to the ARB being under stress so removing the drop link on either side is impossible with one side on the floor...

I personally would do an LS V8 conversion...just to throw that into the mix (not cheap mind you)

Then if one got bored with an NA V8 power you could always stick a harrop on top and see 600bhp easily enough lmao

Oh...well get the TE37 reps in a man offset haha. Can you get lower than et0 from Varrstoen? Also if they do them in bronze.... nom

just get some hub centric spacers and roll your arches if needs be, could even flare them to fit if you didnt like that then overfenders lmfao.

What sizes are your current wheels then?

So how does this work??? I have a dyno graph from Abbey which says...

 

282.4bhp

 

Is that worked out at the hub? So how do I work out the WHP figure?

 

Time for an update on this list???

If you take off about 15% as an average for drivetrain losses you will get around abouts your wheel HP

Fujitsubo I think you mean, and not a bad system imo.

have a look at their site (not the greatest) http://www.fujitsubousa.com/ The japanese site is better: http://www.fujitsubo.co.jp/english/

This might be the one you have? http://www.fujitsubo.co.jp/english/legalis_r.html

Edit: Just to add not exactly a cheap system either

Welcome to the forum, this is exactly the kind of opening post I love

Loads of pics

Coilovers are a VAST improvement imo, its a must buy really. You dont even have to do a large drop in height its more the fact its stiffer and the fact that you can adjust your dampening settings for mood. i.e. stiffen them up for a trackday or wind them down a bit for a more comfortable ride.

I personally wound my dampening up to max and it doesnt really feel that harsh, could do with dropping the dampening down on the rear slightly for a more comfortable ride. But then again my VX220 was on coilovers (both cars) and they were set very harsh and stiff.

Also tell me about the spacers! sweet jesus lmao, I dont want to fork out £200 for spacers when I intend on buying wheels that actually fill the arches

Spent today attempting to make the car look pretty after I fitted my XYZ coilovers over the weekend.

Here are some pics. I want to go somewhere decent to take some nice photos with a decent camera but for now just iPhone pics im afraid

The fleet

Bonus of my old car too (still miss it)

Oh and the one that burnt down....sadface
