Considering scrapping my expert throttle bodies and going to carbs. It just seems an easier way to chase down some bhps's for NA tuning. Anyway, been reading builds (suggested by the all masterful frank, thanks as always, and thanks to the individual authors of these blogs also)... Machi San's...

Anyone any ideas to where this old thread might be? I've been searching for the distributor modifications related posted and this seems to be as close as i can get. Frank? You're bound to of tried this at some point over the years?

Eugh. Bloody expensive. Either way - my MK2 backyard throttle body build is finished. All i require is a DIY Airbox for the MAF, and Filter. Plus some tinkering to get it to fit. I'll have this done today if it stays dry and pics will be uploaded. No idea if it'll work. No idea if it'll show any...

How much do i need to be checking the wallet for though for going down that route. Literally wouldn't even know WHERE to begin.

...wait, more importantly - what IS my cheapest method for not requiring a MAF? Go for a totally standalone unit? What are prices and work like etc? Remember this is totally experimental so spending telephone numbers only to find it makes no difference that using a plenum and MAF in...

I see. Hmm. Thanks for clearing that one up gents! Next time come back with better news! :mad: LOL!

Personally, i'd trace the cluster back to the loom and find out if the other taillight has the loom already run to it. Unless Nissan went to the hassle of not standardising this for LHD and RHD models. (I know my Mazda 6 have identical looms at each cluster and only one reversing light/fog) If...

Skinner_87 said: ↑ That had crossed me mind low rider if i can incorporate the stock tb to open the butterfly value in sync with the carbs to see if the ecu would adjust the ignition accordingly, it wouldnt be perfect but may help. As iv got a 5.1 crown wheel fitted i find im up into 5th quite...

Still need some advice on which cars i need to check breakers for on this one... :)

...and will that foul the standard Fuel Rail?

So basically the same way i did it in my bike throttle body conversion? Just situate it in the inlet tract somewhere downsteam? I'm reading Machi's blog where you guys are talking about the TPS's being different, or rather the shaft being different? How do i overcome this? Also - What's...

I'm going to upgrade my throttle body today. It's either that or dinner with the family. So, i'm about to head to the breakers and need same help as Sean 43. My questions are:- Which is: 1- Better, and 2- Easier to find? I've read a few blogs, Machi's for instance...but i'm still none the...

LED Rears have been done, i'm sure i've seen them on the internet after a search. I'm assuming for LED Headlights you mean the Audi style lamps? I haven't seen any, but you could lead the way and do your own. Just be careful when buying to make sure your lights are sided correctly for LHD or...

I wonder if i made a video of this noise and uploaded it would we be able to tell what it is? I'll try and get it in the air to check it's not a loose bit of heatshield of something daft.

So, started first turn of the key today. Hope it was a random one off. When i start it cold theres a vibration noise, sounds like it could be a heatshield or something? Here's a question though, should i expect a similar noise from an incorrectly adjusted timing chain? Just to put my mind at...

Hmm, the engine was turning over...it was like it was REALLY trying to start. You know sometimes when you turn it and turn it and nothing's happening? Well it was like it was really almost starting, but not. I can tell you it reeked of fuel when it started, rather lumpy and then smoothing out...

I know, crazy like. All i did was turn it over a few times to try it. Nothing the first like 8 times, came back in and out to post on here and look for other threads, next thing you know - it goes!! Freaks me out.

Without any word a lie i can't tell you, because it's just started again. No idea what has caused it, nothing. :\ Worried now because i've taken the day off and don't fancy this hassle tomorrow again!! Any ideas on what it MIGHT of been?

I need help lol. Micra won't start, pretty sure it's just not getting a spark - now it is cold and damp but I think it's ecu related. At the weekend I relocated the head unit into the lower console (above the ECU) so I've unbolted the ECU and moved it further back to make some space. However...

No clues. It's a factory Key and Fob. The Key has NATS imprinted on it and is an original if that helps. I would guess it's all factory - but wouldn't bet my life on it.
