Hi- I have recently picked up another Z. Don't know anything about the spec, the seller had no info on it. Requires some engine work. I have been trying to identify if the turbos are std or upgraded. The exhaust is 3" dia right from turbo elbows back- no cats. The turbos have 5 stud cast elbows. The actuators have 2 metal vac connection pipes although only 1 is connected. The engine is still in the car so access to see the turbos is limited. Ex manifolds look std Can anyone hazard a guess as to what they might be or how I could (easily) identify them Thanks Leo

God damn it. Just had a puncture on the rear. Can safely say now that the space saver wont fit over the brembo callipers and brake disk. Good job me lad works for ATS, had one of the vans on site by the time I had finished breakfast, did have to fork out £160 for a new tyre though. Got a bridgestone REO50, as luck would have it they were a recommendation on the MOT so did need new ones soon. Will be going back tomorrow to get the other one done. Darrell

Looked like a nice day, so decided to G3 my bonnet. Then after I put it on, it started pi**ing it down!! What do I do? WIll it damage? Have tried to wipe it off!

Hey all linking the new forum, mucheasier to use......Well done Anyhow Just a quicky my mate has a set of the older style hks dump valves and is a but confused about something.... on the picture below there is a vacume connection coming from the rear of the valve (left of the valve in pic) which we know where to connect to. but the question is, on the top of the valve there is another connection we think, black plastic on the top of the valve what is this for? and does it need to be connected to anything? weve had a think but cant work it out, and we cant find any info online neither. cheers

Hi chaps, I find when the car has warmed up n I boot it a little, by the time its running at normal/warm temp it is not as responsive. It has higher rpm i (1000ish) and no error codes, def is not detting when warmed up. when I rev it it also takes a fraction longer for the needle to drop! any help would be great. Thanks G

Is it possible to fit 2 boost gauges(1 for each turbo) and would it be a bugga of a job?? Id like to know and monitor the performance of `each` turbo and make sure they are both giving equal out-puts rather than an overall conbined out-put of the 2.

Where have all of the rides gone :cry:

A Big thanks to Pete (turb0z) for upgrading the software on the forum. We have waited a long time to have this done and a lot of Pete's free time has gone in to sorting this out. One important thing that is fixed is the reported post option. That now works and all super moderators will now be notified if there is a problem. The rides icon is back and there will be more upgrades and I am sure we will have a few more glitches until Pete gets on top of it so please be patient. Once again thanks Pete for a job well done.:bow:

i got 1 of these off dan a couple of weeks ago and fit it today, and i have to say i'm impressed with the difference, it makes it feel alot sharper, cheers Dan, regards Chris.
