Just wondering if anybody has any experience with the FMIC kits floating around eBay. There's plenty of them, but something like this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FMIC-NISSAN-300ZX-Z32-TWIN-TURBO-INTERCOOLER-KIT-89-96-/190424803195?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c5633e77b#ht_704wt_766 Is there really that much difference between one of these and say a HKS at more than double the price?

... I can't go over 4.5k RPM. It just stops everything, and it cut out on me when it was at a junction selecting from 2nd gear to drive. Is there anything I can do without a remap, as I was planning on taking on a dyno to see the numbers and air to fuel ratio. It's more than likely lack of fuel, but I'm hoping that the ECU might relearn the settings. When they were initially fitted, revs were erratic but I never went over 2.5k RPM until yesterday. Any advice on this would be superb :) Thanks x

I have just read that from Jan 12 the MOT will check for the presence of a CAT if originally fitted although not required before 93. Anyone in this band might be sensible to get an MOT this month if the CAT has been removed.

Been looking at ecu chip for the n/a They say that with a free flowing exhaust and free flowing air filter i should see a 20whp gain... Seems a heck of a gain, so is it just spin or will the new map in the chip really give me a decent gain... Also would they be meaning 20whp gain on top of what ive already got with the filter and exhaust or all up? contemplating getting some headers next year as well. Imagine there isnt really much more i can do beyond that to squeeze more poke out of the n/a?
