Well, after a brilliant 12 years of ownership, the R has finally moved on. Marriage and kids ultimately meant I didn't have the time, or truth be told, the inclination, to progress it into the beast it deserved to become. Hopefully the new owner will give it a new lease of life, and give it the...

So, having taken the wheel and inner arch cover off to get access to the crank pulley, the big bolt in the centre of the pulley finally came off with (a lot of) air gun action. However, the pulley is pretty much stuck solid, and I don't have access to a pulley removal tool at the moment. Anybody...

So, nice and easy. Who's gonna be the first to tell me what's wrong in this pic? And then who's gonna be first to give me a how-to to fix it? lol.

So, I've got to do an alternator swap, and I was wondering what are people's opinions on what the best way to remove the alternator is? A how to guide would be ideal. Whilst I don't have air con, I do have other items in the way of taking it out from underneath (front exit exhaust) and the top...

Well, I've recently celebrated 10 years of owning my R. I think it's fair to say it's been a bit of a rollercoaster, which is the only way it could be after so many years! From those early days back in 2004, when I had to call on the services of a certain Andy Chan to give my standard black R a...

Hi Guys I got the Pulsar up and running after about 18 months stored in the garage. A quick charge up of the battery and she started first time. But when I pressed the clutch pedal it was as if it was really stiff at the top of the pedal range, and then all of a sudden, it went straight to...

Hi guys, I'm just trying to clue myself up a bit on wastegates. Is there a finite amount that a boost controller can alter the spring pressure within an external wastegate? i.e. I know that the spring rate should be less than your target boost pressure, but is there a maximum boost pressure you...

Hi Guys Been a while. My R has finally been mapped by a tuner, but he's only managed to get 1.5Bar out of the 3076R, with boost coming in at around 5k revs. Reckons he can't get it any higher than 1.5, although turbo is putting out good power at that level (325bhp@wheels), but I'd been hoping...

Hi guys Car is in process of being remapped at a tuner. He has discovered that the car starts running very lean at about 5k rpm, regardless of which boost pressure, etc the car is running. We're struggling to determine what is causing the fuelling drop off, so I'm after as many possible...

The R failed its MOT last week, due to, amongst other things, the rear springs not being seated properly. I asked the garage if they could have a look at them, along with the other minor stuff, to get the car retested. I popped up to see them on Friday, and they had good news for me, my R has...

Hi Guys I have a Blitz LM filter with the normal adapter plate for our intake system. I've upgraded now to a Z32MAF, and am trying to locate a suitable adapter plate for the filter to fit the bigger diameter MAF. I have a feeling the actual Blitz plates are over £100! :shock: and not really a...

Hi guys I have a PFC and was wondering what people's opinions were on tuning them yourselves. What have most people done? And those that have tuned them themselves, how did they find the experience? Or is is better to get it initially set up by a tuner, and then fiddle with it yourself as you...

Just noticed this spade connector that looks like it should have something attached. Am I missing something? And more importantly, if I am what difference does it make!?! :lol:

I need a 90 degree reducer to connect my oversize intercooler pipework with the inlet plenum. I know some people have had some custom hoses made up previously, but where from?? Unless anybody happens to have one lying around they want to sell! ;) :D

Right, when installing my FMIC, i removed the front towing eye, and chucked it thinking I wouldnt need it again. Now being in the process of installing a new piperun, I wish to reconnect a towing eye. So, if anybody has the necessary parts lying around, please let me know and we'll come to...

I'm after an uprated radiator, complete with uprated slimline fans. Has anybody got anything they want to sell? If not, i'll be ordering from Absolute in the US. Cheers :D

Right, I've killed my battery, so looking for another. Needs to be small, powerful and small diameter terminals. Anybody know what the smallest, most powerfullest :lol:, suitable battery might be?? Cheers :thumbsup:

Bl00dy thing is only holding about 100-150mmHg on idle. :roll: Sounds rough, and struggles not to stall until its warmed up a bit. I've checked over everything and can't see anything obvious, so I'm just gonna have to make up a pressure testing kit. :roll: Has anybody got any ideas about...

Low Oil Pressure - Problem Solved Since putting new engine in, the oil pressure has always been low. From start, pressure is as low as 10psi, then slowly picks up after 15-20 secs to about 20psi. The pressure does rise with revs up to about 2bar. The pressures were recorded on a specialist...

Just a quick post to gauge interest in my R. I am toying with the idea of selling up, and utilising the cash for something more worthwhile. Anyway, the car has had a full Scooby WR Blue respray and the general spec is as per my signature. Pics and a couple vids of a recent track day can be...
