Just another thought - if that down pipe has been off since you owned her - boy are you in for a treat when you get her running again :

You mean the manifolds or the decats? All depends on your emissions the headers do say "for race use only" but that is because they are American, on a car that age you can remove CAT's as long as the car will pass emissions - or so I believe, check with an MOT centre - of course I used Hi Flow CATs for the road and only put on the the De-CATs for track Yes the headers are very close to the starter motor - always have been - never had an issue with it, never had to replace a starter motor since the rebuild, they are ceramic coated which should help keep the heat inside - if you want to go another step you could wrap them and if you are really keen you could fit a small plate between the starter and the header to reflect heat - as I say never caused me an issue though

^^^ I had them in "The Bitch" they are currently hung up in the Zed Shed

I was - wife wanted them Blue You can change them at the touch of a button but as she helped put the bumper back on tonight I left them blue just for her

Me and Buster did realise on Sunday that I don't have a fuel pressure gauge so ...............................

I am amazed - engine has not even done 10K since rebuild - be interested to know why it has gone that loose that quick. Good find though hope it solves your issue

Did a bit of shooting when I was younger - they won't let me take mt guns on the local range though

I finished the pillar pod tonight All gauges in and working First job was to get my nice new jubilee clips and fit them Done Started on the wiring looms Sorry Mr G still using up the old heat shrink Eventually had all the looms done Took the dash apart (again) Pic for Darren - installing extra protection for the wires where they pass through into the car The finished product .............................. What shall I do next Hmmmmmmmmmmm ...................................

Not yet, was waiting for a refund as I bought it online - to fair they had refunded me before I got home though Will have a look about and order something else soon.

yer brand new mate - went back today

Many Happy Returns to one and all

^^ Ha D Ha Ha

Thanks mate

your such a prelific posta that I dont think id have time to cheque all you're posts Phew Trying to see my pics is the bigger problem - Did not get a chance to take the new pile of crap back today, will try again tomorrow.

I'm back on the old camera again - at least the pics are not blue tinged

what do you think the black rubber is then? I hope the rest of the stuff holds up - not impressed with these clips at all, all the cheapo (in comparison) jubilee clips are still rock solid

Do we send all our posts to ATTAK Z for him to check before we post or just wait for him to read them and PM us any corrections?

Tonight's quick play - thanks to Buster for dropping in to help me remove the front bumper These arrived from the states way earlier than expected - and no import tax so got her in, jacked up and ready to start work Problem number 1 - I need to get behind this lot to add the oil pressure sensor nothing else for it. It had to come out Then I added the boost gauge line - Mr G please note I did not use green hose (but I had some ) Routed the lines into the car next to the wiring we set up when installing the AFR gauges That was it this evening going to drop into Pipe and Thread tomorrow and get a T piece for the oil pressure sender, make up a new wiring loom and extend the oil gauge wire so it will reach the pillar pod. Also found these 2 had snapped - That makes 3 that have gone so far, will get some decent jubilee clips to replace them while I am out tomorrow

Half the time - like the aforementioned apostrophe in the wrong place it's just using predictive text on the Ipad and not being bothered to change it. I do know a certain Mod on here that gets really upset by brought and bought -I won't mention any names Neil so you will be fine I don't mind in the slightest if someone gets the grammar a bit wrong it is only a problem when sentences don't make any sense. As said above, most of us don't read or spell check before hitting send so half the time these people that will insist on pointing out your mistakes are just pointing out that when you type fast you may spell a word wrong or the predictive text got it wrong on your part. Personally I think it is more annoying to be told you made a minor mistake can you imagine having someone "perfect" over your shoulder all day saying "you got that wrong" or "you didn't want to do that" or "you spilled your tea on the floor" OMG what an idiot etc etc We all make mistakes and to be fair this is a car forum if I wanted to improve my spelling and grammar I would have joined a literacy club EDIT: The "OMG" was on purpose as no one had mentioned Text speech being annoying yet EDIT EDIT: - Has or Had???? Best I join a literacy club after all

I used Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 5W-30 Ester Synthetic Engine Oil for my Oil change. Can you explain VVT's and what I need to do to check? That should be fine The VVT's (Variable Valve Timing) are at the front left and right sides - if they have sludge in them or the oil is thick then they may not work properly but as the oil heat up and becomes thinner they come back to working fine again. You could take them off and give them a good clean - or just put new ones on to test - only 4 bolts and an electrical connector - I think I have a spare set you can borrow I would agree that a throttle plate reset/relearn from above is a good one to try and costs nothing to try - not sure about the MAF clean although it will do no harm (if done carefully) why would it be OK hot - usually you get rough running associated with a dirty MAF as well - which you don't have. Hope it helps

VVT's or oil that is to thick is my guess - only because you seem to have everything else that would need checking covered and also because it's fine when it warms up. What oil did you use at the oil change?

That's a part rebuild - no pistons add £1000 that was plus VAT so over £4,500, mine had cams as well - you will probably find GTR pistons are already up to the job but I don't know about a 370 set, depends what power you want I suppose. The moral here is buy a GTR - then the engine rebuild will be cheaper

Sounds remarkably cheap for a forged build, I paid more than that in parts for my 350 build Usually around £5k to £10K to have a fully forged engine built including parts and labour.

I didn't go to school either, I was to busy doing more interesting things elsewhere

I vote Octet for Grammatical Liaison Officer Also if I could be bothered I would find the post picking Octet up for spelling in a post he made picking someone up on their spelling But I really don't care that much
