Well the rain finally stopped enough on Friday for me to take the zed to work but still have not opened the taps up full yet as the roads are still very greasy but ive given it enough to know that the work Lee Dent has done on my engine and other upgrades have transformed the car and you guys were right a 300zx with fully operational turbos and no boost leaks is a very scary beast indeed. The Blitz EBC that lee installed is working great and I have 3 settings to suit various boost scenarios but for now im running the 14.3 psi one which is lively to say the least.

Well I thought I would post a few pics so here she is in the sun at work

 

I thought I would post a few before and after pics of the engine bay so you can see the difference.

So really pleased so far but got some more painting and polishing to do yet so watch this space.

Nice one Ian - and the car is looking good too mate!!

Good to hear! Hiking the boost to 1 bar totally transforms the car! Now, time to remove that NOS sticker! :)

Ive had a go at that si, if i i do it will wreck the black strip, got a plan for replacing the spoiler soon , its still the soggy foam original thats cracked now so nos stickers days are numbered

I will paint my tow brackets too i haven't forgotten .

Hehe! Yeah, black out the rear tow eyes. Makes it look much cleaner. :) - very old pic pre-2nd repaint/glass swap

 

Yep got plans for paint as well, probably remove rear wiper, poss go for a 99 spec bumper or a stillen lip like richards, mod the side repeaters to fit 370z units lower down and smooth the old holes then paint the whole car House of Kolor "Brandy Wine" red. Although i still have to find a painter who wont screw up painting the House of Kolor paint job

looking really good m8 yer agree with the rear end spoilege. comming on really well mate
