Ok I've run out of excuses and other people to throw under the bus but the dog did eat my homework.

Hold on your profile says kent how are you further than me ?

That's it make me look bad

Oh sorry that's all I had

yea I did consider this among many other options for now I'm going to move as much out of the way as possible then I've got some really thin sheet ally I can bend by hand to mock up whatever solution seems best basically I'm winging it

one day i'll get there, why do I have to live in crappy southend.

Don't get me wrong I agree it's do-able but I'm not going to enclose it as I find it aesthetically pleasing for now I'm just going to continue to optimise space around the trumpets and then decide

It would that's a vq35 but that's not a 350z bay it's in and I just don't have the clearance even after moving the vacuum manifold but I'm getting there.

no pressure then

Trouble is it's only really a problem in traffic or when i'm not moving when there is no airflow, when i'm moving it's not too bad

I think that to extract the heat as opposed to just releasing it ie by venting the bonnet will use a lot of power if there was a simple way of getting rid of the heat then our aircon wouldn't use such a large amount of engine power but I like your thinking though as it happens I've been re-arranging things in the engine bay to try and allow room to duct cold air to the inlet in fact I was making progress until the missus got me putting up curtains

So here I am again with more DIY madness I live in Southend On Sea the roads are crap and there are speed humps everywhere including down my road shortly and I'm fed up with having to plan my route around town based on speed humps I can't get over but as some of you may know I'm partial to a project and some would also say tight. actually I'm not tight I just do a really crap job for a living (literally) so demand value for money when I part with it This is not going to be a shiny setup for show hopefully it will all be hidden and OEM looking and much of it will be, just not Nissan mostly Audi with range rover height sensors, aftermarket Bags and a custom built controller just got to wait for stuff to arrive now

Damn I hate bodywork

Maybe I need to stop ignoring mine

The 2 colours that are the same both black or both white usually should be the heater which is easy to check not sure what it should read though at a guess I'd say 3-5 ohms

definitely sounds like the bov not opening so if vacuum line is good then possibly valve itself I had to replace one because it was stuck closed

This is still on-going but I'm still having issues with high inlet air temperatures so far I've fitted insulating washers to the fuel rail brackets which has reduced the temperature of the fuel rails, fitted a motorbike cooling fan in where the standard airbox used to be which dropped the air intake temps by about 5 deg and the idle air valve now draws air in from the same place as the cooling fan so idle in traffic is now good until you touch the accelerator and it sucks in hot air from the engine bay I'm trying not to put vents in the bonnet but running out of options

I know it's overdue and I will do it soon

Dan I've thought long and hard about my response to this post, some of your choices have been questionable mainly the orange BMW with a bus shelter on the back but this is a step too far Just hand over your Petrol head card and leave

I'm glad I caught this thread I was considering turning off notifications and deleting the link to the forum from my desktop too many people seem overly critical , overly aggressive or overly sensitive about other peoples opinions or comments about their posts. banter is one thing and what I've seen lately is not that, so for the record I'm putting my work out there and I welcome your opinion, comments or good natured p*** taking and if I throw my teddy down there's a 99% chance that I'm just messing with you.

couldn't have said it better

most of it is doable with basic tools and then things which were a bit of a pig you could just buy from jenvey then you just need a new ecu and a bucket full of patience (maybe 2 buckets) buying the obx kit and a new ecu with all of the other parts you'd need you could do it for about £2500 if you did all the work yourself Go on you know you want to

This project has been a bit slow lately as I've had some issues mainly with the idle air valve which I had to install since going over to a cable throttle and air intake temps as the intakes are right above the exhaust manifolds The idle air valve was causing fluctuations in the map signal that the ecu uses for load as there was a common vacuum manifold, I now have a seperate manifold I made for the idle air with 6 separate lines going to the intake runners with another 6 going to the runners for the common vacuum manifold which connects to the brake servo, fuel pressure regulator and map sensor that's a lot of plumbing so I did one in yellow lines one in black. As for the high air intake temps I'm undecided, I either need to find the space to duct cold air in or vent the bonnet I'm open to suggestions but bear in mind that I'd like to keep it subtle

have you tried unplugging it to see if it actually disables the traction control ? if so the old ones had a 12 volt supply, use a volt meter to find the 12 volt supply cut the wire and put the switch in there well theoretically anyway
