if you go on fj20.com, it will tell you what part you will need to stop chain rattle,its a ratchet tentioner off of an old mazda i think, the part number is on the site.i think if you give wayne at chipwizards a ring, then he could put you straight on tuning the n/a fj20, as he used to race one.

Its a great site, very informative! i came across my s12 by accident, took her for a spin and grin factor! i have more fun in my s12 than i do in my evo, if i bounce the silvia it cost peanuts, evo's dont bounce so good!

Thats how i was with my volvo, i loved that car to bits, because you could fix anything with cable ties and a hammer. Miss that car so much but i love my s12 to bits now and this one is here to stay.

Is there a fuel pump available of another car which can be used instead of a wahlbro? ie a skyline one or something?

ive heard of people using a 300zx pump, it should do the job as they are 280bhp as std and i bet you can tune them a bit before you have to change the pump.
