  1. Brian, That would be great! Thanks for the offer. I'll pm Hamish.
  2. Free booze, pornos and some dairylea no doubt!
  3. Going on past performance (remember the out of court settlement) he probably will put himself in another awkward position! As far as sleeping in the same bed with a child that not your own I think that is a definate no! I think the guy is wacky but innocent. In saying that I wouldn't send my kid round to his house on an overnighter and you've got to ask yourself what was the mother thinking about when she knew that he had already done an out of court settlement for something similar...obviously the several million dollars she was after!!
  4. Not to sure what your saying here! Not renewing because your view of the world is not accepted as defacto or you hate taxi jokes?
  5. A sensible suggestion...I know the plugs were replaced recently with iridium ones. Quick question is it an internal wastegate (signle port actuator) or an external wastegate/dual port actuator on the Supra? I have stock jap spec turbos.
  6. Brian, Thanks for the suggestion. There isn't anyone close enough to me unfortunately. I'm going to go back to the guy that did the work with the suggestions from this thread and see what he can find. Rgds Neil
  7. I would definately be interested...count me in!

    Decals

    I don't like decals as a rule, but I saw this car at yesterday's meet and the pics don't do it justice. What's with the banana anyway!?!?
  9. Bet there's lots of confused Ferrari drivers going to the local Ferrari dealer wanting to place an order for the 'new' model.
  10. I went to the Lake District meet yesterday and it was bloody good. I couldn't help thinking that we could do something similar here if enough people were interested. We have some of the best scenery in the world with the windy roads to match!
  11. Aron a good day and well organised. Cheers! It was good seeing some of the guys again and their cars. Stand out car for me had to be the red 'trail' supra...you know who u r! Martin not a problem and glad to be of help. As to video I'll try and get something up for next weekend and send the whole glorious lot to you Aron for editing! Hope to see you all again!
  12. Didn't get your PM till late, but I was planning on leaving around 8ish! I'll pm my moby.
  13. Ian C, I am inclined to go with 2a or 2b. I would think 2b because the plugs were replaced before the other work was carried out and the symptom are in line with what I'm experiencing. Any idea what gap the plugs should be set to for 1.2 BAR? I have discounted 2a because adjusting the AFR to vary air/fuel mixture has no effect on the problem although I really need to get someone to set this up correctly for me. I also think that I need to remove the stock soleniod and reset the ECU which I hope to do later today. Thanks for taking the time to put such an exhaustive list together and would say this is definately one for the club FAQ area. Once again thanks to all and if any of you that have helped on this thread are at this Sunday's Lake District meet I'll buy you a soft drink (because we'll all be driving). I had been quoted a lot of dosh to diagnose this fault so if anyone was swithering on whether to renew their club membership this thread (and many more no doubt) should make the answer a no-brainer!
  14. Would you head down the A1 or come up the A8/M8 and then M74/A74. If the latter we could meet at the services near Strathclyde Park.
  15. Ian C, that's about the size of it, but I wouldn't call it a misfire as such it feels more like I've a cut in power.
  16. Markie there is no limiter fitted. Will try the low gear test. Cheers.
  17. I didn't get English instructions with it so I don't know what the buttons or reading is telling me.
  18. Been adjusting the HKS AFR chip with the help of Halo from Skyline Owner forum (Chris think you know him) to see if that made a difference which it didn't. Cut seems to happen around the 5K band in all gears under hard acceleration. It feels like the a stutter in the power. If I ease off the accelerator car is fine. I would like to disconnect the stock boost soleniod and then reset the ECU, but not too sure what one it is. Does someone have a pic showing were it is (stock soleniod)? I'm also not too sure what the info on the EVC display is telling me...can guess at some but measurements are in kPa. How does this translate to BAR if at all? The kPa seems set to 130 max. The reading has peaked at 117. Is anyone familiar with the units display and know how to change it to BAR? Would have inserted image but don't know how to unfortunately. Last thing I had the garage install iridium plugs. They did say that some of the coils snapped but they had managed to attach the wires. Hope this provides some clues as to what might be happening. Regardless all your help and guidance is much appreciated.
  19. guys thanks a lot for all your help! Much appreciated...will give this a try tomorrow
