+1 as above. One run with the de cats and one with the cats from the same dyno shop under the same conditions. That is the only way to get an informed result from your question.

Hi Pete, I have a brand new still in box Genuine Nissan cover for a Roadster available. Remember the Coupe is a different cover. PM me if interested. Cheers, Alex.

I would definately get a second opinion on the diagnoses of your ticking noise. If the noise is from your cams then the engine will have to come out if adjustment is required as the cam buckets will require replacement. The clearances can be checked in situ tho. If there is wear on your cams etc then this is usually down to running low on oil at some point. Unfortunately there estimate is about right. Have you checked the usual suspect, the fuel damper ?

I have these trickle chargers available mate, only £15.00. They work great and are all you need. Only 4 left. Made in Germany 3 Year Guarantee Full Instructions Alex.

I was running my ATI C2 Procharger Supercharger on a stock ecu around 3 years ago.

Hampden Park Glasgow tonight, anyone else going? I have 1 spare standing pass left over so if any one wants it then give me a ring on 07836 652020 I will be in Glasgow around 6.30 pm. Cheers, Alex.

If the car checks out okay and you have had a decent test drive and you do not have a p/x then I would offer 15K. You might not get that offer accepted but you will at least get a reaction. If the salesman gets shirty then ask to speak to the sales manager as he will not be on commision and he might just cut you a deal. Play hard ball as it is a buyer's market out there. Remember "shy boys don't get any sweeties"

It would be the higher HP figure...but more that it's VAT deductible Yes I thought so. Well it is fantastic to get something back from this Government but with respect if money is an issue then FI is not for you. 10K on a shoestring: 20K to do it properly I know, thats why I'm doing it step by step approach. Next step would be to get it to 4.2l and then after that go the hog and do the rest... the E85 is just to get some nice hp figures with my haltech ecu unit, and get some monies back is a bonus but can be discussed as a reason to do it... duh... he he... 4.2Lt......The very best of luck to you mate.....Best go speak to your tuner.

I do not think that you will find a tuner that will be capable of sorting your car to run Stock, Bigger injectors, E85 and FI. You will have to decide on what route you want to go and this is more complex than you think. For instance how are you planning to take degrees off your ignition for E85? E85 is in limited supply but I assume that you already know this. I can advice on options for all the above individually but really this advice should come from your chosen tuner. E85 Maybe thats why I've heard nothing back yet > For instance how are you planning to take degrees off your ignition for E85? < No clue... The supply of E85 is cool, have a few places nearby selling the stuff. Hmmm I do not think that you will find a tuner that will be capable of sorting your car to run Stock, Bigger injectors, E85 and FI. I think what I mean is that I would like to start my FI build with using bigger injectors and fuel pump and then once I want to go down the FI route (not related to E85) I'd keep the pump and bigger injectors and change internals and the 'rest' of things that needs to be changed for FI. More than likely the injectors that you run with the E85 will not be compatible with a FI set up. What is the attraction of E85 to you?

Not sure what secret codes your talking about? You only need to run a 2nd cable if they are going from Sky to Sky+HD. If you already have Sky+ then you are fine. I bought my HD box of ebay and just plugged it in, phoned up Sky to get HD enabled and its been fine ever since. Just today I also cabled up a 2nd HD box myself by just running a cable from the LNB. Correct, but I believe that a virgin HD box is a slightly different install and is not plug and play but I stand to be corrected if that is not the case

Hmmm, whats involved in the install? No adult channels in HD! Boooooooooooooooo! You could be right... I might wait for that! They have got to run another cable from your dish and enter a few secret codes, job done

Unfortunately you do require a proper install. The new tv guide is good once you get used to it. My only gripe is the lack of HD channels but they will increase over time. Just do it ps. adult channel not available in HD so maybe this is not for you.

Would you consider it dangerous ? I have an MOT certificate!

Hi and to the forum.

More fun in the wet especialy with ESP off.

Hi Bas and welcome to the forum. They don't go any faster unless you have deep pockets.

Hi mate, sometimes the screws holding in the pad stops are badly corroded and are very difficult to remove. If the screw snaps then the calliper is finished so watch and not break it in. The calliper will not rust but oxidization of the calliper under the pad stop may cause the plate to rise slightly causing the pad to become a tight fit. Perhaps a slight tap with a small light hammer would reinstate the plate to its original position. Buffing off a very light edge from the pad top and bottom area where you are having the issue is common practice within the motortrade. Refurbing or replacing the calliper is an extreme measure and a cost that is not really required mate. But if you want an exchange calliper from me then these are available next day, but best replaced in pairs. I assume we are talking front callipers here............ Let me know how you get on. Cheers, Alex.

Close but no cigar

There are not a lot of oil pipes immediately above the oil filter. There are two breather pipes coming off the oil filter sandwich plate and that is about it. The PAS pump is further up, above the alternator but that does not mean to say that PAS fluid would not find its way down to the filter area. If your car is a JDM with auto gearbox then there are two oil pipes that run along the area just above the oil filter.

Also very glad that it was not on the Zed.

Great pictures Vicky/Gary, the location brings back fond memories to me.

Hi and to the forum. Good luck with the search.

The pad stops are all the same thickness and they will not move if the torque screws are tight. Must be a build up of stuff on the plates or calliper, give it a good scrape to remove any residue and the pad should fall in. Remember that there is a plate top and bottom for each pad.
