Well it seems obvious to me !! The model in the picture is a NA so requires no brake pipes from the master cylinder "As it's not fast enough to need them" Rolling road resistance slows them down enough. The engine doesn't get hot enough to require rad hoses "Just dumps the water on the road" as per the old british motor cycle oil system and the HICAS has been removed to stop the driver thinking it's a Turbo when he eventually get to the corners :)

oh but look you can work on it yourself. no turbos to replace so cheaper to run and maintain. no lag, less prone to no 6 cylinder taking a holiday somewhere hot and molton. brakes that were efficient enough to do there job. no stupid hicas to throw your natural skilled senses into how to take a corner. ;)

Guess yours is an NA then!! :) All 14'ish year old sports motors cost loads to run "Ask any Lotus or Lancia Integrale owner" The Integrale uses £100 worth of wheel bearings a year and thats if you fit the bloody things yourself. Lotus 907 engines ran 165 to 197 BHP in NA form. For a four cylinder engine designed in 1972 and using the same casting as a bedford van oil pressure was a nightmare on them and yer lucky to get 20K out of a crank and shells "granted the motor was cast in alloy with wet liners and had a 16V head" If you want a fast car make sure it has at least one turbo!! Most amazing car I ever owned, has to be the "Lancia Beta Volumex" Supercharged 2ltr Beta "rusty car but thats not the point here" would nail you into the seat in top from 1200RPM on full right foot.. Mega torque, but it was front wheel drive. Should a been 4x4 like the Delta S4. Recon for the money the 300ZX TT is the ultimate weapon!! It also starts in the morning without swaping the plugs and you don't have to run it for 100 miles untill your brave enough to give it some welly .... "Integrale would whip yer ass but the zed TT would be right behind it and still going when it blew up" :)

I have 2 n/a zeds here now that need engines so something is wrong lol

 

Mind you there is also 4 tt's that need engines so looks like the n/a is slightly better LOL :(

Can give you a good price on rebuilds with a 7 day turn around depending on condition of engine, with recommendations from customers with rebuilt engines done in the last month, see Funki Si and Sashquachi comments,
