I had to get mine drilled on the washer and down the centre of the bolt to get it to release. Proper Swiss cheese style.

What exhaust mods? You mean just an uprated exhaust so it makes all the right noises?

I\'m not after more power than my pug, just want to get back in something Jap and I thought It would be rude not to go back to another rotary. And I love the look of the S4 Fc\'s

How bad are the egi\'s on fuel then? I currently get just over 300 miles to £70-75 and that\'s driving it nice.

It\'s not the m16 lump, it\'s just a 2.0 16v with a 6 speed. There 170bhp stock but mines been chipped so it\'s nearer 190. I know what you mean but I\'m more into looks than speed (I say that now, ha ha) and I\'ve been gutted ever since i sold my FD and I\'m aching for something Jap now.

Thanks for the offer Skiffy. I\'ll let you know as I nee to sort some free time.

Use to own an FD Efini about a year ago but sold it when me and my girlfriend brought our house. Brought a 306 Rallye as I need a car for work everyday but now it\'s possible I maybe working closer to home. I\'m getting the itch for something Jap but don\'t have the disposable income to splash out on an FD as I\'d want to do it properly, so u thought maybe I could scratchy itch with a sweet looking little FC egi.

Here lies the proposed question, does anyone in the essex area have an FC3S egi I could take a gander at because all I\'m doing is looking at pics at the moment and before I commit to selling my Pug I\'d like to see if I like them up close and personal. The car doesn\'t have to be for sale I\'m just looking for an opportunity to take a closer look and have a chat with an FC owner.

So if youve got an FC and are willing to help me out with my strange request please let me know. Thanks

James.

If any of you are interested in Paint correction/Detailing and are on Facebook please look up Dark Art Detailing and give the page a like, you can also follow us on Twitter were @DarkArtMaster.

I\'ve been detailing for the past couple of years for just friends and family really but decided to open out past the family and friends. I\'ve had work appear in Volks World magazine (a 57 resto cal oval), worked for Valley Gas Speed Shop in Newbury to prep and 1960 Chevvy Corvair heading to Coys for auction and also looked after two separate bugs at the Volksworld Show in Sandown Park.

As you\'ll see from my previous work that I have done different types of cars meaning I have experience of varying paint types so you can ensure your car is in safe hands.

So please check out my Facebook page or add me on Twitter and if you have any questions feel free to contact me through here, twitter or Facebook.

Thanks Guys

with an FCD or a new ECU i.e Apexi or chipped ECU

im running no seq with no rats nest,hks mushroom filters and a decat and stainless exhaust where was you getting boost leak from? cheers

Could easily be fuel cut as thats what i was hitting with a decat, cat back and air pump removed.
 
My boost leak originally was from the Y-pipe (the joiner hose) and i think it might coming from there again.

Just disconnect the battery for a lil while and it will reset and clear codes. Doesnt need to be reprogrammed.

Are you sure your not just hitting fuel cut? Is it decatted?

Boost leak?
 
Also this sounds exactly like what is happening to me. Cant boost atall on the second turbo

Friday morning bump.

Just fitted my new ECU and took the car for a spin. (First time its seen any boost as ive only just finished running it in) and its fine on the 1st turbo but seems to go flat on the 2nd turbo. You can hear it winding up and when you change to the next gear it lets off a wastegate chatter which is strange. But in 4th gear its a bloody animal. Only seems to be 2nd and 3rd gear that it does and tail end of revs in 1st. Didnt really get to try 5th or all the way round in 4th though so could be the same. Had solenoids, check valves and maybe a hose in the wrong place suggested, was just wondering whether anyone else had ever experienced this problem before. The car has had the rats nest replaced and is stock apart from Katayama ECU, Silenced decat, lightened flywheel and HKS cat back.

Thanks James

What do you mean by proper? Its a lightweight flywheel for an FD.

I dont know what make the flywheel is. Does that make any difference?
