Hi Guys.

Just thought i'd introduce myself. I'm Ben, live in Surrey and i'm picking up the new toy on saturday! I got a P reg SZ-R (i believe), 3.0i N/A 6spd manual. Can't actually wait!

Will take some pictures when i eventually get her home and post them up so u can all have a butchers!

chuffed to bits! ty all! i've known the car for the last 18 months as it was my old bosses. i bought his Primera GT off him when he bought the supra, then he told me he was selling it so i bent over my bank managers desk and pleaded with him to let me have it! luckily he agreed!! :-D

newbie got a minor issue with his SZ-R...

After putting her on a rolling road at a shoot out day yesterday, it was pointed out to me that the car's running @ 10.6:1 air/fuel ratio which obviously is horrendously rich giving me a serious lack of BHP.

The car has got a Power Boost Valve on it, and apparently i have two options. 1) Adjust the boost valve and get the AFR right or 2) Bin it and replace it with a standard Fuel Pressure Regulator.

Anyone got any ideas of my best route??
