  1. Have you tried lifting the carpet at the line location? are there by any chance vents underneath?
  2. The Nissan VQ35DE has a similar arrangement, but I am not convinced it has a positive effect, I removed mine and noticed no difference.
  3. FIC6 has one draw back IMO, it has no ignition timing advance, only retard, so has to have the timing advanced globally and retarded at the unit, which to me is not ideal, but that's a personal opinion, although the Fcon is a stand alone, it requires either an HKS licensed tuner, or pirated software if you can find it.
  4. From what I can make out no! although its not quite clear where the other end of the hose goes? its not going to bypass any coolant until the thermostat opens anyway.
  5. Agreed! my J spec made 368 BHP at BPU, but as I mentioned my fuelling was pretty rich, so I am sure a bit of power was being lost because of it, personally I can see your point, as leaving it that rich for long periods will contaminate the oil eventually, I would go for something like the Greddy EMU and have it tweaked for the time being, for piece of mind, however it does add to the complications, I cant remember what the issues are (if any) with the VVTI and EMU, but I am sure somebody will chime in regarding that, but I would imagine its down to wanting to control the VVTI with it, although I don't see a problem as it was intended to handle Vtech.
  6. When my J spec was BPU running 1 - 1.2bar I always saw AFRs going down as rich as 10 AFR, if fact most of the jap turbo cars I have owned have done the same on full boost, if fact it one of the reasons that a lot of jap turbo cars are easy to take a bit further by increasing boost a little without having to worry too much about lean fuelling an det.
  7. Don't try and lean out fuelling with an adjustable FPR you will likely make it too lean in other areas, and certainly not without fitting a full time wide band AFR gauge, just hold fire and get a decent stand alone or piggyback.
  8. Unless you can give it a dedicated cold air feed and also shroud it from taking in engine bay air, its pointless, std air box was designed to do this.
  9. I have to admit to learning to drive on a Fergie and a Fordson major......at the tender age of 12, a mates dad was a farmer.
  10. Seen that before...its mentally fast........for a tractor.
  11. Already tried the uninstall route, didn't work! will have to see if I can find here a nice simple email client.
  12. Sounds like the rectifier side of the alternator to me, trouble is I don't think its serviceable like they used to be, so probably a replacement needed. Voltage will depend on the state of the charge in the battery, if its low the voltage goes up and vice versa.
  13. Theres the rub, the misses likes to use live mail, and doesn't like the sky web mail, otherwise it would be easy.
  14. Sorry, should of said tried that and can find nothing that wold indicate a problem, trouble is its been running fine until recently and there are not updates/changes that I can find that could cause this problem.
  15. Comon guys 35 views and nobody wants to take a stab at this? thought it was full of IT gurus here.
  16. I know there are a few expert's with stuff like this here, so hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction, the problem is with my wifes windows 8 laptop using windows live mail and only occurs on her sky/yahoo account, I have the same running on my win 7 laptop with no problems, in fact if I setup her account on my laptop it will work no problem. The problem is that it will neither send or download any messages, but this is sporadically, sometimes it will just download messages but most of the time not, yet if I create a duplicate account it will happily download all of the messages off the server, but ones its finished that's it no new messages! the error message is this: Server: 'pop.tools.sky.com' > Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0F > Protocol: POP3 > Port: 995 > Secure(SSL): Yes Now I have been trawling through the net looking for answers, and most seem to say its anti virus related, well I have tried uninstalling it (avast free) same as mine, with no joy, I have disabled the windows firewall as well, same result, I have also tried using different ports in the email application. I tried reinstalling the windows live application, but it wont, so this leads me to think it may be application software related but where to start? This is driving me nuts, well the wife is!
  17. While I see your point, To me that's a memorial and not art.
  18. Its rather sad that just because some supposedly qualified people say a pile of bricks is art, it makes people with no talent lots of money, conversely it saddens me to see some really creative/talented people paint/draw/carve etc some really impressive pieces, yet they get little or no recognition for their work, and pile of brick person walks away with fame and fortune, as they say art is in the eye of the beholder.....but all I can say is some people need a better eye!
  19. What qualifies as art baffles me these days.
  20. I recently bought a 500gig white box (reconditioned) unit from Argos for £199 and got Fallout 4 for £25, don't know if the offer is still on.
  21. There are loads of these at the moment, I have reported about 10-15 that I have been sent, never log in to anything from any links your sent in an email, unless you have requested a password reset from the particular site.
  22. Congratulations to the both of you. Thought I was bah humbug, but Chris beats me.
  23. One thing you need to bare in mind is that squish has a beneficial effect on both combustion efficacy and det, just cant remember if adding too much boost with small squish is not a good idea or not, might be a good idea to check before buying piston's etc.
  24. Watch out Chris, you could end up doing a Ben Franklin and lighting yourself up.
