just a question about blow off valve set up, how do you balance the valves so that they work equally, the xs type I have fitted are shimmed with washers, but I noticed that when on idle one side piston could be lifted easily compaired to the other side,and of course I noticed a delay between the two as well.I was wondering if the vacuum supply would alter the tension differently, as One side runs off balance bar and the other direct of manifold, I havent tried swapping vac pipes over to see if it makes any difference if you know what I mean, also since fitting these the car runs shit on over run, jerky, but there is no air leaks,and the dump valves are only working after …

"In reply to our recent telephone conversation I enclose examples of similar vehicles to my own from http://www.autotrader.co.uk. Of note, is the difficulty in obtaining a genuine UK model of the 300zx Twin Turbo in good condition with a full service history. As the innocent party in this accident I feel disappointed that the original valuation is in no way a fair reflection of the price I would have to pay to replace my car. I have also included a copy of some of the receipts for work recently completed on the car.
