It say's I'm 'not permitted to enter this page' when I click the link Is that happening for anyone else?

Ok will keep an eye on it for now then, cheers mate

Update: I did the throttle reset procedure, and although I didn't actually hear anything, it seems to have worked! Everything is back to normal. So is this a sign that something else could be failing and needs to be looked at? Or is it just one of those things that happens sometimes? Cheers for the help everyone!

Where abouts is the throttle position sensor located? are these easily replaceable?

Can confirm it's not the cable, I've tried revving it at the throttle body and still nothing. I've also checked all the fuses and they seem to be fine Ok cheers, will give that a go and report back

Hi everyone, I've been a long time lurker here on behalf of my dad who owns an original 98 Jap import VVTI TT6. We've had the car for a few years now, and have only now come across our first problem. The car has been sat under a cover at a friends yard for the last few months while we've had a car port built, and yesterday we went to collect it and bring it home. After a quick battery change, she fired right up and drove great all the way home. This morning however, something seems to have happened, as the throttle is no longer working at all. The car starts up fine and idles nicely, but when you twist the throttle literally nothing happens at all, it just stays at idle. We are both mechanically minded, but are more used to working on cars from the 50s/60 which can be fixed with a hammer and some shouting! So does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this? It's got us both stumped! Cheers Chris

God damn it. It looks so good without them! Can't be helped I guess

Nope! Our car has nothing in the front bumper or wings. I can only assume in this case a prefacelift bumper has been fitted. Looks like we'll have to fit some! I just hope the wiring is still there in the bumper...

Wait so jspec cars did have side repeaters? I've seen picks of them in the wings and in the bumper, but our car has neither, I just assumed they were facelift and prefacelift locations for UK cars. Can anyone tell me for sure? Will be a shame to cut holes in the bumpers if I don't need to.

So is that correct that Jspec cars never had side repeaters anyway? As I know that UK spec cars did. Can we just take it back and tell them they're wrong?

Hi guys, so my we've just taken our supra for it's MOT, and they've failed it due to lack of side repeaters on the fron wings. The car is a 98 facelift jspec TT6, which I was pretty sure didn't have side repeaters anyway? The car certainly doesn't have them anyway, nor any holes where they would have fitted? It's also worth mentioning that the same garage passed the car a year ago, so that doesn't make any sense either. So can anyone shed some light on the subject? Cheers guys

I'm curious about this too. I understand the stu-tu-tu-tu is created by running no BOV, but at the moment we have a 'PHSSHHHH' one fitted (I know, my technical terms are on point). I have heard that not running a BOV can be detrimental to the life of the turbos though due to compressor surge? Can anyone shed some light? And can it be done with a stock intake manifold? Our car is a bone stock TT6.

Lovely looking car! What skirts are they? I've not seen them before and quite like the look of them

I had 2 photobucket accounts. 1 was 99.8% full, and one was 10%... Both are now useless. Over on one of the classic mini forums I have a build thread which is 42 pages long with thousands of images, and now the whole thing is scrapped. Livid is an understatement!!! I always hated the clunky layout of photobucket so I wish I had changed to something else sooner.
