Mr. Chem

Sorry to hijack the thread but I'm taking my V on my first track day beginning of next month. Have any of you had issues with noise limits?

The only difference would be the jdm points as I said mate, all filters are basically the same

Most filters are basically the same. Different materials have different properties however. Paper has the best filtering properties but needs regular replacement as it becomes clogged and flow becomes reduced overtime. Cotton (such as k&n or green) is the next best, normally these have oil to improve their efficiency Foam (hks or piper cross) is next, again oiled. Metal gauze has the highest flow, but also the worst at filtering At the end of the day your intake length and routing will have a greater effect than the make of air filter you fit. If you are running a standard efi p

You can get the offside out from the top by taking the headlight out. The near side is easiest from behind the arch lining.

Hi all, I'm after the air con hard pipe that runs up the drivers side to the condenser. Mine has a hole in it Thanks

I use the soap method, as you can see the precise point where the boost is leaking from. Works great with any leaks where the air is being blown out. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3KmQenhWDY&safe=active

If the boost is leaking, easy start won't have any effect as the air will force the spray out. Better of spraying with washing up liquid mixed with water and watching for bubbles.

I'm still around, and I've completed some more stuff on the car now so I'm ready for an update. Mostly last year I was bombing around in the car, extremely happy with the direction it was going in and how it drove. Then some scrubbing from the rear of the car starting happening, and the exhaust was banging on the rear axle. It was clear the car had lost ride height, and this had obviously swung the axle over hence the scrubbing. It turned out to be 2 knackered standard starlet shocks, which I quickly replaced with some KYB gas jobs which have been brilliant. Then it was time to ins

Hi all, I need a clear offside indicator lens for my Glanza as a stone has gone through my current one. Also if anyone has any rubber covers for the back of the foglights (im sure the 96/98 are the same) that would be most appreciated. Thanks

ECU like a jam or a blitz that has no fuel cut Hks actuator set to a lower pressure. Drive at 90% Do you have a boost gauge?

Boost cut. You're exceeding the factory boost limit of 0.85 bar. Common with the colder weather

Is it a really high pitches whistle noise that gets louder as you throttle up? You've probably popped a boost hose.

Not lost a drop. Fan works perfect. White can also be over or under fuel

New symptom - smoke during the stutter. Stutter is worse under load (4th and fifth uphill) Smoke appears white I think. It's not much and there is none on idle, just when it stutters.

Well that's irritating. I'll see about a pump then. Seems strange it pulls fine at higher revs though

Plugs are gapped to 0.8mm. I guess I'll have to try a different set of leads then Hopefully that works It's running a tuning developments 255lph pump

No wide band I'm afraid Budget is seriously limited

Standard fpr

Hi all, I'm having some issues with my glanza. I've been finding that around 3500-4000 revs it hesitates at full throttle and boost. If I back up to 0.5bar it starts pulling again. Low revs and high revs are fine. The car is running 1bar on a ct9 on a jam ECU. I've only noticed it doing this when I upped boost from 0.8 to 1 bar. So far I've changed plugs, dizzie cap and rotor arm. The leads are Ngk blues about a year old and still at a good resistance level. I have looked at the coil, cleaned up the base plate and fitted another earth to it. No fault codes stored. I've tried unpluggin

HDI cooler and anything thick will need the bumper trimming to fit properly. Mines a 98 with air con and it required some inventive fettling with the air con fan too Keep the air con mate. It's not just the hot weather it's the ability to demist in 30s when it's raining.

Normally I'd crack out an oxyacetylene torch. This cheeky bugger gets in the car if I leave a door open when unloading. I guess you could say that having a glanza gets you all the pussy...

Hi all, I'm trying to decat my car, but I'm struggling to get the cat off. There is nothing attaching it to the car, but it still won't come off. Let me know what you think:

Hey bud. How new are the dizzie cap and rotor arm?

The other is mine
