  1. Happens to nearly everyone, especially those that have different exhausts, do you have a non standard one? It'll happen more in the colder months, just use the obd2 thing and clear it.
  2. I get about 8k from my MPSS. If you are getting 16k from tyres - quit complaining !
  3. Well I tried out a couple of different lids that my friend had sitting around, and one of them is shorter in height ! So I just have to recline slightly and all seems ok-ish for now. The only thing it's one of those cheapy Leopard lids, about £30 on ebay Ideally I'd rather get one for cars as they can take multiple impacts iirc.
  4. I 100% agree, even if you or I don't believe it's sacred ground, it was treated as such for many many years and should be kept that way.
  5. So this is what I went for: thicker (4mm) perforated sides nappa top/bottom orange stitching The price would be: 115GBP + 15GBP fitting It's worth sending an enquiry to him, prices may have changed now as that was about 2 ago. It's really worth doing
  6. Here is the coil pack spark test: Note - on Cylinder 2, it looks like there isn't a spark for a while but I'm sure I saw it with my eyes, just not on camera. Easy enough to try again though.
  7. It might work but I've no idea's on the dimensions for it, they'll be on the forums somewhere probably. This is how my one came out, and I'm still really chuffed with it
  8. Yup, I'm gonna say it.. Nice arse. On the car of course Nice to see the rare yellow Z, I don't think I've spotted one before. Before ordering a steering wheel, have a look here first, he did my one and I love it ! http://royalsteeringwheels.com/
  9. Arrrrrrrrgh I was hoping today would give me a clue! I put the original cam sensors back on, no hard hot starts now, so yep off they go for a refund. I did a smoke leak test, the can of smoke didn't work for me as it shoots out very cold if it's going into a hose. If you have a big opening to spray it into first before pressurising it, then it'll work. I just did it the same way the guys did in the above video. The smoke only came out of the intake. Next I tried my coil pack spark tester, tonight I'll upload a video of them so you can see what it does. They all seemed to be the same, slightly pink/blue spark. Next I tried a new maf, and no change yet although I haven't driven properly yet. I'll chat to Jez at Horsham Developments on Monday. Just to clarify, no lack of power or hesitation.
  10. My one hasn't done it this last week but then again I had the injectors out last weekend, so everything is back on tight again. (actually they've been in and out a few times the last 3 weeks )
  11. It sounds like he just doesn't want to work on it (for whatever reason) Sly at Kaizer Motor Company is probably closest to you (near Rochester) another trusted garage and forum affiliate http://www.kaizermotor.co.uk
  12. I've been initially advised to use Glasscoat due to the paper thin soft paint on my one: http://www.polishangel.co.uk/products/glasscoat-cosmic I'll have a respray in the future and likely to go ppf on the front+doors, with ceramic on the other parts.
  13. Actually I've had a similar-ish sound when it's been very cold recently. I've no idea what it is either and it's been random not consistent.
  14. He bought them too
  15. Just for planning sake now, would 9.5" be ok without having to roll arches ?
  16. My wheel from Royal is awesome, very, very tidy stitching and good materials, plus they can do anything you want within reason. I had the thickest foam option (4mm iirc). Anyway, just my 2p on it.
  17. Less heat soak I imagine. (warm air going into the engine isn't ideal, thus keep temps down)
  18. Get a plenum spacer on it too before you have it mapped, might as well.
  19. I'll just plastidip them again, my ones still good after 18+ months now
  20. Does it HAVE to be coilovers ?
  21. You can have them in a square set up either 9.5 all round or 10.5 all round Only silver at the moment though sadly Ah great ! Not overly worried about the colour well, these are on my ever growing shopping list now
  22. My favourite style wheels for the Z, so I shall get a set in due course. I just wondered if they'll release a square stance set of these ? And a darker colour ? The set I want comes up to....£1,702.80 + tyres (ffs)
  23. Ah thanks for the clarification of that, doesn't sound too bad at all
  24. I presume you'll be using an oil temp sensor too ? If you do, can you post up details on how to hook it up, and what parts you ordered ? I guess they are universal.
