I just looked at mine, '93 Roza, and that plug you speak of on the black box has been blocked off with a cap.

Mine was like that until I had the extractors and exhaust fitted. It was pretty ordinary until 3000rpm where there was a surge of power. Now it revs more freely, although its still not a powerhouse.

Thanks for your reply, MightyMouse! The clunk is just irritating more than anything. It can be minimised/negated with smooth gear changes and rolling off the throttle. Any idea what a diff would go for please? I will look into the pricing of the timing belt a tad more, me thinks. I'm sure you are ...

Rear diff rebuild on Feroza?

G'day guys I've only had my '93 Feroza II for 6 months and am at a cross roads, as I didn't pay attention to the buying tips in the FAQ. The overall running of the car is fine, but the suspension and rear diff require attention. Below is a quote for what is supposedly required, excluding what I ...

My old Applause had 100fwhp. That required air filter, extractors, exhaust, cam and after-market computer. Wasn't cheap, for not much gain... If I did it again, I'd go straight for a super or turbo charger.

Sounds like its backfiring. Mine does it, combined with the sports exhaust... I like it!! :)

My turboed Silvia does it as well, because I have a blow-off valve that causes the mixtures to be messed up when you back off the throttle.

Cheers AJ. That was one thing I found with my Applause. When I moved the Unifilter from being mounted to the throttle body to behind the headlight torque increased by a significant amount.

Feroza - Where have you got your CB mounted?

G'day all

I'm looking for some inspiration as to where to mount my CB (Uniden UH077) in my Feroza. I was considering making a custom centre console... Any ideas and pics very much appreciated. :)

I must agree with you... How I do wish I had more low end with my Silvia. Hopefully a ballbearing turbo would assist that... If I required a replacement motor I would seriously consider dropping in a naturally aspirated SR20 and adding the turbo gear. Higher compression, and therefore better low ...

Can do, if youre not getting the correct fuel supply in the first place. Stock injectors should be able to handle a certain amount of extra fuel requirement, but you need to make sure your stock fuel pump is up to the task as well. Before you go adding things get it on the dyno to measure the ...

It's all in the tuning... Get your Feroza onto a dyno with a competent operator so they can check that you are getting the correct air/fuel ratio. Keep the boost low (around 6psi or so) and you shouldn't have dramas, as long as your fuel supply is up to the challenge. Perhaps look into getting an ...

I have a pair of Hella Rallye 1000s (100 watts) on my Nissan Silvia... :D
Very nice round light, which doesn't take up too much space... Nice bright, and white. I'm sure there are better, but I have had a good run out of Hella, so I stick with them.
Cost around $130 each.
