Hi All,
I just fitted a Forge Dump valve and given the car a run up the road, I'm well pleased with it......... £115 well spent :-) are there any ill effects from fitting a venting valve???
Cheers Ian

I know I sound like a kid with a new toy.. but I do get it next Saturady and can't wait to find the answers out myself, but think I'll ask ppl who already have the car and give me the heds up now.... so I have even more to look forward to.

So, if I use one of these, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Jensen-iPo...item45f7affd7f

can I run Mp3/4 video through it so it goes to the head uni screen?

If this can be done.. how cool is that.


or should the question be, what does everyone else do with their RCA connection?

lol, who knows, putting a magicTree airfreshner in your car also voids warranty too. So a DV has to be a big no no

It wont make the engine go pop at all, By simply venting off air from the intake system all you are doing is momentarily making the engine run a rich state for a few seconds which is no bad thing, this is due to the air you are dumping to atmosphere all ready being measured by the maff sensor on the intake tract.

Very nice looking GTR Middlehurst too... found them to be superb when my friend put his deposit down for a GTR, really helpful and the servicing costs etc seemed reasonable to me . He put his order back tho to get the new version (MY11 with 530PS etc) which i think is available from March.

Middlehursts' were great. I did consider a new one but at £20k more and no concierge service I decided, no. I also prefer the current wheels.

I have very little on finance so, if the car doesn't work out I can get out of it easily.
However, I think I will keep it for a while. It feels like new.
I have budgeted for new tyres and probably brake pads at the next service, but it doesn't look like I will need to do that.

Interested to know why they wouldnt give you the concierge service for 20k more The bloke at nissan insisted it came as part of the deal on the my11 models ? Still a stunning motor you've got there mate, Are you tempted by one of middlehursts performance upgrades

Very good service but think they are quite busy and had/have limited Internet at the moment.

Can't see a problem as long as the foam is PH neutral.

All in your mind mate...

Keep the standard dump vale... you will eventually get bored with it and swap back ..at least then you can sell it, for probably the money you paid for it

I had one on my 2003 STI and 6 months of mickey taking (from my mates) was all I could manage
