    Hi as title, I've spent a bit of time under the bonnet and after my last adventure my boost solenoid keeps clicking, even with just the ignition on. It wasn't doing this before so I am thinking its fubar! Am I correct? Why would it just start (I'm guessing jammed open throttle didn't help) any help appreciated. Cheers Steve

    Broken one is B3 014 021 061 H Which I can't find even with Google! In this pic you can see the modding that I need to match/copy Can the ODB1 TB be taken apart? Cheers S

    Hi All, new trouble with VR! Basically I was racing a skyline when the throttle body spring got stuck, fully open! I limped the car home (ignition off mostly (no brakes or PAS)) as the engine when on just bounced off the limiter! The car was bought ready modded (ex mag car 2004) and it's nearly all custom, as I'm finding out! It has a Wagner tuning intake (HPA clone?) so the throttle body is mounted behind the radiator for a super short FMIC to throttle pipe run. I have spare ODB2 TB which won't fit and bought an ODB1 today that won't fit without work. Here are pics, the new working TB (with T

    Is it definitely the controller? Good way to test is 1) clear faults and turn ignition off 2) lift rear seats, you will see a couple of cables going to rear wheel wells and the connectors around the middle, these will be the ABS sensors 3) swap them over 4) turn on ignition and check vcds for errors, if the same sensor is showing as faulty it's likely the controller (as you just swapped them) It is possible to remove controller only but you need to be careful of bending and breaking the brake lines. Once off send to BBA reman, mine lasted for 4+ years and should still be going as Dave cw now

    Hi All, more issues with the VR! i was racing a skyline on sunday and had a slight issue, the spring on the throttle body decided to break leaving me with a engine bouncing off the limiter! i managed to get home with the smell of burning clutch and a melting turbo. Now with the engine off but ignition on the boost solenoid was clicking like mad so i think its knackered, i dont have part number yet but its a bit bigger than a normal N75 valve. has anyone got suggestions as to a decent replacement or will any 3 port solenoid do? cheers steve

    Hi all, got the 'licence loser' mapped today. Kudos to Redline Tuning in Basildon! Money well spent (so far 25 miles in) no longer have the flame spitting 'Asbo' map, just low,middle and high boost (260,290 and 336) So what's peoples experience with Syncro diffs? How soon am I going to have issues? I will only use low and middle, high will occasionally be used to wipe people's smirks off (at you some BMW drivers) I know I should look at haldex but that's longer term and best part of 2k. Am I right in thinking that the rear drive only comes in when the front loses traction (VC) and with maximum

    Hi, I run ngk bk7's gapped to .25 apparently I could run a bigger gap as I have a ford V6 coil pack conversion but I haven't tested the theory yet. Leads I believe are standard 8mm? ECP specials. S Sorry car is Rado VR6 turbo 4x4 running 310'ish

    Hi All, as title suggests i have more issues....... i cant get to the back of the alternator (as the short runner is in the way) and need to disconnect it to get to a garage (overcharge is boiling the battery!) does anyone know if its daisy changed from the starter motor live? and could i remove that live once the engine is started? cheers steve

    Hi, literally take it out and join the hoses that went in. I would replace though as VR's do run hot. S

    hi all, i have been playing about with the Rado to get the idle right and try to get rid of the occasional stalling at lights, i have attached a log file of around idle (stationary) and the last bit is driving, i thought i had sorted it but when i went driving it started again. the afr swings wildly and i thought that i was advancing the ignition too much (250-500 rpm 25 advance, 500-750 12 degrees) as i read this can bump up the revs. any input is appreciated. cheers steve ok, how do i upload and excel file? https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=DE5F95022578A08C!559&authkey=!AAF3oEcvPnu
