Alot of the time its easier than you think to fix things, I always help people out with info, i also have all the FSM's (factory service manuals) listed on my site as well as all the info i can find on these cars, if you have more please email it to me and ill host it.

A good support group is vital to keeping people learning and keeping higher maintanance cars on the road on a budget,

Now here is the tricky thing to explain from my side, yes I do like to help, but i have to ballance how much time i sit and help VS the amount of money it generates. I could sit all day and hold a persons hand threw doing somthing but for me it would = me not putting bread on the table. So as with all things, if I help i expect people to remember the servise I offer when it comes to needing parts and so on and not to just run to the cheapest person in the lot (though I am normaly the cheapest)

There is nothing that irritates me more than when i help a person with tones of techical knowlege, spoon feed them threw many repairs, take loads of phone calls from them then they ask me about one of my instock items at say R1800 then i find them on other forums buying the same thing from a stranger for R1750 and giving me some BS excuse for not buying it from me. this has happend more than a handfull of times with different people.

With R750 000+ in stock which 95% of it revolves around 200sx's I have thought more than once of clearing it out and not doing business anymore but now that i see some of these clubs are serious im hoping that more of you will show some loyalty and help make the 200SX scene in SA alot more vibrant.

So... back to my issue! I'll wait for an expert (Vlade? Freddie? Anyone?) to come look at my car and tell me what to do. On the bright side, my problems are not THAT serious (at least I hope not) - knocking sound from timing cover, and leaking injectors.

Rezlo, I would happily take injectors from you, but I need find the exact match for the injectors I have, 'cos I have non-standard ones and my ECU was re-mapped. I have two options:
1. Find out what size injectors I have, and buy those
2. Buy standard injectors and re-flash the ECU with standard software.
Gonna try for option 1...

I have to say I am disappointed with Maus performance - they give me attitude (for example, I asked if it's possible for someone to come look at my car, and the exact response was "There is no chance that will happen"). No sympathy, nothing. Nevermind that it's their fault. Also, they have this holier-than-thou attitude - if you don't spend as much money as we are telling you to spend, then you are not a worthy customer, and your car is not fixed, and we are not responsible for anything.

Take your injectrs to a refurb center, they should be able to flow test them for you to work out the right size and repair leaking pindle caps and all that.
