    So having sold the red tegg to the lad from Norniron i bought the Nissan Navara (see Gallery). I bought it from Howards Nissan in Weston Super Mare. Sales rep was OK but I'd been walking round the place for 30 mins and had walked out and back in again before someone bothered to say can I help...

    I want to Supercharge my DC5, advice needed please

    I agree with you there Andy. The only issues I ever had with mine was the Jackson adaptor parts themselves, the charger and effects on the cars internals were never a problem. Running the low bost pulley at ~6psi (according to Guy whilst tuning) I never had engine issues in the 2 years of having...

    4000rpm - metalic buzzing noise?

    Used to be loads of threads on here about that. Its your heast shield around the mani at the bottom. The washers compress over time and come loose. Best to just take them off and be done with them. Drove me mad for the first 3 months till I sorted it :D

    JRSC and Gruppe M

    You should be able to - though during dyno runs it might be hard to re-produce the Ram air effect from the Gruppe M. The JRSC mates with the standard Throttle body, then your intake mates the other side of that as per normal.

    I got a speeding ticket in the post today...

    If its yor first SP30 and at that speed you might get offered the £60 + the naughty boy course. My mate had that and they lecture you for a few hours about speed. You dont get the points too. He said the course was interesting but they did not want to discuss the siting of cameras in so...

    Toda mani, weird noise

    Mines now my throttle pedal. On the overrun as you take your foot off the pedal I get a buzz at about 4k from the throttle pedal. Just resting my foot on it lightly cures it. A bit annoying but once understood is not a worry. One of the drawbacks of the ES mounts I think.

    Hard Wiring a Snooper / Road angel

    Easy job. Just dont forget the fuse. You can run the wire up through the dash and out of a small gap on the right hand side just where the pillar meets the dash board. Then tuck it in along the windscreen bottom round to where you need it poking out.

    Alternator

    All Sorted... The new Ali spacer blocks from Moss Motors were not making a good earth from the Alternator to the engine block :D Took it to a local Auto Electricians in Patchway and they diagnosed it for me. With a jump lead from the alternator body back to the -ve battery terminal it was...

    Alternator

    Well the old battery did - but then it would do that if the alternator was duff too as the battery would discharge as it was suplying the car and not being charged up by the alternator. As I say, new battery is lasting 3 days now with no signs of dying so it might be getting something.

    Alternator

    Might be needing a new one :cry: Anyone with a DVM out there measure your voltage at the fusebox so I can be sure - mines reading 12.1V and it should be 13+ at least. Probably the reason why my battery was dead the other day - but the new one has lasted 3 days now so I think it must be...

    IDLE problem after car not driven for 2 weeks.

    I had this - there is a thread on here somewhere giving the same advice to remove and clean. Going for a run didn't unstick mine. Its not a big job - just make sure you get a new gasket from the throttle body to the intake as its usually stuck on half and half and tears when you take it off.
