Just to add my two penneths worth, i had drilled and grooved discs on my old Sierra Cossie, and they were great..... in the dry, bring on the rain and they were terrible when hot, ie on the track or spirited driving, what seemed to happen was i would get really good initial bite, but some heat...

if its anything like mine, it drops like mad till it gets to 1/2 tank then stays there for ages and drops slowly at the proper rate as the fuel gets used, its never bothered me really as i know roughly what i can get from what i put in, and i know when it gets to half a tank i got a lot of miles...

I am guessing, yes.

That i could live with :) I am in the process of turboing it atm, i have most of the parts needed, just waiting for xmas to be over to get the final few parts, so i am hoping to make near to that power when its all done and set up properly

Voted mate :)

Yeah he was bogging down off the line quite bad. I didnt really think about the weight tbh, i totally forgot about the heavy 4 wheel drive system he is lugging around.

I will get it properly timed in the new year, not expecting brilliant times, but if i can beat most 2.0/sub 150bhp cars i will be happy, and as soon as i get this turbo conversion done, well things will be different

Ok, so a mate of mine has an Audi TT 180, that he claims is the dogs, and lives on a farm, with a very wide and long drive way. To cut a long story short, he has been asking me for ages to drag him on this long and wide farm track as i have been trying to convince him of the benefits of micra...

WDID? Went to the local WalMart, on coming out, found, sat on the curb, a perfectly good splitter in perfect condition next to my car, on further investigation, its complete and all intact. Thats going on tomorrow :) Must have been ripped off after they parked too close to the raised curb...

i wouldnt have thought so, unless the auto ecu is fitted still? i have NO experience with auto ecu's, so this would be better answered by someone who does tbh

Just a thought

let me know how you get on mate, i still think its a cat/ecu/fuel problem, but i would love to be proved wrong, just from a learning point of view

same as, i need to renew :)

it might be worth contacting someone on the Australian site, see if they have had a similar problem, seeing as they are closer and have the same imports

Even though the exhaust is flowing "properly" the cat can still be blocked and so can the o2 sensor, tbh mate it seems like a replace part by part scenario, unless someone knows for sure, and tbh i dont

Basically it could be caused by crappy fuel messing up the ecu, japan has better fuel than us and if the ecu has been set up for that, that could be the problem, its doubtful but its could be. Try few tanks of high octane fuel? i know its a bit more expensive but at the very least the engine...

Still have the primary CAT? Thats seems a cat prob to me, same as what i had with my DPF on my Scenic, it would be helpfull to know what that other wire does, i am guessing its a EGT ot CAT Temp sensor, have you tried to remove/fool it and see what happens, if not do you have another cat you...

is that wire connected to anything?

it was on a Scenic DCI, and it went into limp mode, twice, it was on the DPF, but its much the same thing, once i have a DPF delete it was fine. Dont quote me as saying thats what the problem is, but i find it to much of a coincidence as to why renault/nissan choose to use the same light to...
