what is a pikey?

frank what you have done with the trailing arms is genius. it is because it bolts to the axle in two places that it doesnt allow for the roll. and thanks for the pic it proves to me that it could theoretically be welded off. will spend some time studying it and decide if i will try to follow you...

plumbed everything up. without vac hooked up the gauge reads close to 48psi when the ignition comes on and the pump primes. but ive noticed that the gauge fluctuates a little when the pump is on and then drops to zero when the pump cuts out before starting. isn't the rail supposed to maintain...

oh and about the weld snapping thing i thought that the two bushes where the arms bolt to the car would allow some but very little flex and i dont know if the car could exert enough force to break the weld. there is another thing though - my trailing arms are the round ones and i dont know if...

frank whats up buddy i am not sure what i am seeing but it looks quite crafty. i see two arrows in the first pic. does that mean that your trailing arms bolt to 2 places on the dead axle? isn't the upper bushe where the shock bolts? or is the bar shown in the second pic the one that holds...

so i've read posts about eliminating the dreaded body roll especially at the back by putting multiple antiroll bars on the trailing arms for the dead axle. essentially it forces the trailing arms to move up and down together only and not so much relative to one another to produce body roll...

okay so i got a universal regulator but the fittings for the rail did not match. so i took out the stock fuel pressure regulator and chopped the head off and gutted it. i will cap it and use it just for the purpose of plumbing.

duncan welcome to the thread. aftermarket fuel pressure regulator with gauge for sure. the base pressure is 3 bar? and its supposed to go up with boost?

it was suggested to me that the engine is leaning out. the plugs are also clean....too clean. going to get some help locally to try and sort it out hopefully. until i do, if anyone has any suggestions that may help please do not hesitate to put them up. hope i dont blow it before i get it right...

baz i was talking about the green light on the ecu. yesterday i think i found the dial you were talking about. its on the ecu right? it is currently turned all the way anticlockwise. what's it for? when i switch off and restart both lights are out. only after i get the stumble then it flashes a...

oh, i forgot to mention i drove it to work this morning. it just feels hesitant up to 3500 rpm. i managed to coax it up to 4000 rpm then the supercharger light cut out, and the engine pulled excellent under turbo boost. it was awesome!!

baz buddy i am sorry but i dont know/understand which dial you are referring to?

revving off properly in park. making 6500 easy. supercharger cuts out at about 3500 and turbo comes in. just not doing it while driving. ecu green light began flashing while driving then stayed on continuously until switching off. after restarting it came back on after some driving.

gonna try to put up pics of my build so far this weekend. took the car out for road test. good news its got no leaks whatsoever and starts all the time now. stable oil pressure and vac at idle. bad news its holding back. the supercharger is kicking in and giving 10psi but when i sink the pedal...

Yesterday I tried it and it started on its own. It was hesitant but it started about 5 times. I don't know if anything was stuck or is sticky. But I am not complaining. I will get some pics posted including one of the back of the speedo.

Ed, I spliced the connection from the engine harness to the temp sensor to send a signal to the temp gauge in the dials using the original k10 wiring. The gauge seems to be reading properly. I guess i could disconnect the spliced connection and see if it starts. I read some topics on here...

Got the engine running. It idles beautifully. Revs off well. However, it does not start on its own. I need to put a tablespoon or two of fuel into the intake manifold and then it starts at once. I injected it through the port that would normally go to the charcoal canister. Anybody got an...

I made arrangements to send the dough through a friends paypal account but i never got the quote buddy. anyways, i managed to source a vac tank from another nissan engine, looks identical to the one in the vac line diagram, so i'll be firing up with that one and i am making the fitting for the...

baz, do you know which wire from the speedo is the speed sensor wire? and i didnt hear back from you on the parts?

Tuukka you wont find any plugs for them in the standard k10. going to have to connect them individually. connect the yellow one to the switched 12V that would go to the coil in the k10. you would have to splice this connection as well to send power to the solenoid over by the ufo and to the...
