Hi guys i still havent sorted my set light flashing issue but i notice, or think i notice recently that it seems to change the map. The car feels less responsive and sluggish. Is this possible? Sent from my GT-N8010 using Tapatalk HD

I'm keeping my bmw badges. The attention they get on the car and the confusion they cause is unreal! Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

I have 20 mm h&r front and rear and I believe I got them from ebay Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

Im running yellow stuff on the road, they're brilliant but quite dusty!

And just for contrast in colour here's mine: Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

I love mine, motorway is lovely to drive now (as lovely as a motorway can be anyway) and the low down deep rumble is still there but I have berks also.

ahhh I had neither a welder nor a puller so it was grinder and hammers for me

Do your techniques sound the same as mine Jez?

Pretty much did yeah. Had to peel it off with a chisel Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

Hey guys What a day I had yesterday! Last week i set out to do my banana arm bushes. Started stripping everything down until I came to the balljoint nut on thr passenger side. Well to say it was ceased is an understatement and my 6 sided socket decided to take a spin and rounded the nut off so everything went back together for another day. Zmanalex came to my aid and sent me new nuts and cones sharpish so now all was left to do was get the nut off. Yesterday was the day of reckoning and after struggling like hell for over 3 hours with hammers and chisels (sp?) I decided to take the whole corner off the car so I could get it in the vice. I finally got the nut off but it now loois like this. Once I had the passenger side back together I set about sorting the driver side. I was wary of the nut but it came off easy. The next problem occurred when I found the crush tube inside the Bush was ceased to the stud. Out came the hammers again and the grinder and the swearing until it finally looked like this. So the point of this thread is to say be cautious when attempting this. I'm a fairly skilled mechanic and it took me a total of 10 hours constant work. Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

Hi guys with all the hot weather we've been having its nice to open the Windows and lock the car. Only problem is when I do this the alarm goes off constantly. Any idea what would cause this? There is nothing in the car, bugs or the like. Thanks Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

I'll have one if you have some left bud? Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

More than likely the banana arm Bush, do a search for that and u should find everything u need Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

I'll take a set Chris. Pm me details please Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

That looks insane. I think I'd have to service the big hit before attempting that! Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

Yep use a polarising filter, will need a little bit more light so maybe outside or with soft light inside.

What did they find? Is it running? Sent from my GT-N8010 using Tapatalk HD

Damaged rings? Is there and oil on the plugs? Smell of fuel in the oil when u remove the dipstick? Valves lapped in correctly? Does the vq35 use hydraulic lifters? We're they primed before u put them in? Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

Re the earths: Jumper cables won't work if one of the ground from the ecu isn't connected. I'm taking about the type of ground that is connected to the engine from a loom with something like an m6 ring crimp bolted to some part of the engine. Normally intake manifold or around that area. They are really easy to miss and also to overlook when searching for a problem. Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

Make sure all the earths are connected. I missed one from the ecu loom on a Nissan engine once and it wouldn't start. Could be a faulty maf sensor? Had it been dropped? Did u touch the filament? Is it plugged in? Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

+1 for this, its brilliant stuff

245/35/zr19 just seen you have 18's Sent from my GT-N8010 using Tapatalk HD

I have 10j on the front of mine and the steering feels fine, I went for a 35 profile on the front but I only used budgets. I have to say though, so far they are brilliant! Achilles atr sport if your interested. Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2
