  3. To reset the ECU you either remove the EFI #1 fuse for 10 secs or disconnect the battery for 30 secs (Just disconnecting the negative terminal works fine) The battery should ALWAYS be disconnected when working on the wiring, especially the ECU wiring. Cutting and joining live ECU wires is a very bad idea. It's unlikely to have damaged the ECU but I wouldn't be amazed if it had. Anyway, the simplest way to diagnose whether the FCD is causing you problems is to disconnect it and put the wiring back to stock. If the problem goes away you know that either the FCD is faulty or the fitting of it is not sound. Also a fairly common issue with FCDs is that they need a really good earth. You may solve your problems by earthing it to a chassis point rather than to the ECU Ground wire. The bolt that secures the ECU cover works well as a grounding point.
  4. Welcome. The search button is your friend. I did a quick search for you and found this: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=9755&highlight=radio+code

    Take a photo of the exhaust, we'll soon tell you
  6. It's supposed to idle below 1000rpm. 650rpm is what it's supposed to be. Does the engine also run rough when the FCD is disconnected? Why doesn't your auto electrician disconnect the battery when messing with the ECU wiring? He's supposed to. Have you reset the ECU yet?
  7. It's the tyres that make the difference, not the wheels
  8. Not sure what you mean by 'shading to identify them' Do you want the shading to indicate the ones that aren't printed? If you just want them not to be shown you could change the font to white or put the cells in a hidden column. The shading thing makes me think you don't mean that though
  9. Thinners DOES work. I use it all the time. 2p worth or thinners each time or keep buying new brushes - easy choice.
  10. This one time, at Band Clamp... http://www.mikalor.co.uk
  11. Like I said, with the stock torque converter you can't rev it past 2000rpm (at a standstill in Drive). To get a really good launch you'll need a high stall TC.
  12. Shit mate, what a nightmare. Good luck with it and get well soon.
  13. It makes the bite point (aka "the stall speed") higher up the rev range. With a stock TC the car will pull away at say 2000rpm but with a high stall it won't start moving the car until higher revs - that's what allows the car to make boost more quickly. If you're power braking with the stock TC the revs won't go above 2000 rpm. So when you release the brake you still won't launch great because there's little or no boost at 2000 rpms. Do the same with a, say, 3600 Hi Stall and you'll have a good amount of boost there and the car will launch great. Fitting a hi-stall to an auto is the single biggest thing you can do to improve drag times.
  14. Off the brake yes, into drive from neutral no. If you're in neutral the engine will just rev its arse off. Whacking it from Neutral into Drive at raised revs will damage the gearbox. Autos change gear a lot quicker than manuals. With an auto the revs (and therefore boost) don't drop at all while changing from one gear to another.
  15. How old was Hunter? Do you still have 'Mrs Hunter'? Any other dogs?
  16. I have the AEM wideband in the LH vent, 60mm HKS Boost gauge in the clock apeture (facelift clock is bigger than the old ones) and 60mm HKS Oil Temp and EGT gauges in an A-pillar pod. Seems to work well. I wouldn't want the wideband in the clock position because I can't see it clearly, the steering wheel is always in the way. I wouldn't want to lose both air vents either.
  17. No! What a handsome dog. I'm welling up... Sorry for your loss mate
  18. I've been a few times with a mate. Lots of well dodgy stuff there. You can get a quite good deal but you have to really know your stuff. A lot of the crowd is traders that are there bidding up their own stuff.
  19. new avatar anyone? http://www.badhorsey.net/gallery/goatse.gif
  20. Very good. Goatse exhaust anyone? http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/7619/goatylt8.jpg
