OK chaps, I'm thinking about tidying up the rear wheel arches on the car so, how do you remove the wheel arch trims ? And can they be re-used after removal ? I.e. do you have to destroy them to get them off ? Cheers Paul

Hi, As the title says, I'm after a set of 4 plastic scuttle cover plugs/clips. If anyone has a set, please let me know. If you have the full scuttle cover, in excellent condition, with the rubber seal still fully attached to the trailing edge (the edge that goes over the windscreen)...

Hi When you guys have changed a wheel stud, how did you get the new one to pull through the hub far enough ? I put the stud in, put the wheel on and did the nut up on the specific stud, to pull it through. Only problem is, it's not pulled it through as far as the other three studs are ...

Do'h, wrong section !!! Paul

Hi, I've just bought a set of alloy wheel nuts. Does anyone know what sort of torque range I should be doing them up to ? I've read that it's not the wheel nut your worried about when tightening it but, the wheel stud itself ?! The nuts are made of 7075 Alloy and I normally do the steel...

Chaps, I've organised a driving activity day at North Weald airfield in North Essex (just off the M11) with my brother. The day is on Thursday 24th July and will cost £63.33. There is now 1 place left of 15. Other cars to attend will be 2 GTiR's, around 10 Evo's of different variations...

Guys, This may seem like a very strange request but, does anyone have a good and fast supplier of syringes ? Specifically 50/60 ml ones, with a large bore or catheter end. I've seen the ones on eBay but, I need one for the weekend and can't guaruntee they'd be with me by then. Cheers...

Now I have a new Knock sensor, I need to fit it and have decided to go in from the top. So, the plenum (rear part) will have to come off, and maybe the full plenum. What I wanted to know is, when you guys have done it, do you use an original paper gasket when you reassemble ? Or, some silicon...

As above, if anyone has one they want to get rid of, let me know. Cheers Paul

Just over on the GTR OC and noticed this in one of the threads. Seems like a very good yet utterly straight forward idea. I don't know if the big power guys could benefit from them ? http://www.gtrpwr.com/files/powerpack_wiring.pdf Paul

Jesse, Please clear your inbox mate. Paul

Hi, I was having a play around with the car, and the Datascan software and noticed that the ecu was reporting a 34 fault code. It also stated that the car had been started 3 times since the code was logged. Now, what I cant to know is, will the ecu throw up this code if it detects knock ...

Hi, As the title states, I'm after an HKS Super AFR. Not bothered if it's not boxed or without instructions, as long as it comes with the loom, to wire it into the ecu. Cheers Paul

To cut a long story short, I'm going to have to drill a wheel nut off so, chances are, I'll damage the stud when doing this. So, as the title says really, how can I remove/replace the wheel stud ? will I need to press it out ? Or, will it be 'easier' than that ? Thanks in advance. Paul

Hi again, I just wanted to know if anybody else is suffering huge boost spikes because of the cold weather ? I was out in the car on Saturday and accelerated onto the M1 from a slip road in 5th. The boost is currently set at 1.15 Kg/mm on my AVCR and it jumped up to 1.49 kg/mm, pretty much...

Hi, Can anybody confirm the front wiper blade sizes for the GTiR ? I have them as 21" and 19" for drivers and passengers side, respectively. Cheers Paul

Chaps, My rear towing eye/hook is starting to bubble up with rust so, I want to remove it and either refurb it or, just leave it off. I've had a look up under where it looks to be attached and can't see how to remove it. Does anybody have an idea how to take it off ? Any help would be...

As above, I'm after a bonnet scoop that I can hack around, in a attempt to increase the efficiency of the OE TMIC. If any one has one or know's of one, please let me know. Cheers Paul

Guys, I couldn't really think of anywhere else for this to go so, stuck it in here. I want to remove the headlight glass from the plastic rear part so that I can remove something within the headlight itself. Has anyone done this before ? If so, how did you do it ? From the looks of it...
