Hi everyone,

 

Ive had my Z since September, it was the white one once owned by Kenny_g0. Anyway, in two words "LOVING IT". I see what everyone means now when they say it puts a smile on your face when you drive it!

 

Anyway, ive got christmas out of the way so ive got some money to spend on her.

 

At the moment the only thing engine related that has been tinkered with is the BOV's and its got an aftermarket Jap exhaust (no idea what, its in the garage at the mo getting a few bits and bobs done). Any ideas as what the best route to go down whould be to increase performance?

 

So far ive got....

 

1. Apexi air filter

chip and up the boost with electronic boost controller

There she is in all her glory! im getting the alloys refurbed at the mo and im gagging to get her back!

 

I think I know the one you mean, its got aftermarket exhausts if im right? Its often parked up around the one way system?

 

Any recomendations for a good chip? Ive seen a few names being posted around??

do yourself a favor vin and subscrib its worth your while as a zed owner to be able to access the whole site.

Thats nearly the same as mine (see my rides) except for wheels and spoiler.

 

Very nice mate and as carl said... subscribe and watch a whole new world come to life.

nice mate, thats how mine looked when i first got it apart from the wheels, i just sold a red UK TT you might of seen that about in Dartford before i sold it?

Ill definately subscribe up when I get my card back from Mr.Barclays. It went walkabouts in a mates house after a particularly eventuful new years where I eneded up sleeping in a bath! so rest assured guys ill be fully signed up by this time next week!

looks very nice indeed. Get yourself some clear side repeaters though.

Yep they sure do put a smile on your face :D

 

welcome to the site mate :D

Welcome to the nut house :D

 

I would recommend before up BHP i'd get better brakes. Smithy one of the trades does an all round 3G and portfeild pad set up for £390.

 

After that maybe look at an EBC or some boost jets, a chip, John dixon does a good one he's a member on here, then spark plugs next suspention, wheels and tyres and then up to you full engine rebuild/upgrade, turbos injector i/c(side or front) depends on how much money you wanna spend!!

 

After the brakes an EBC and a chip. i'd go suspention and tryes (if you like your wheels)

Then id look at injectors and i/c's wont give you anymore BHP to start with but will put you in good stead for future MODs,

 

Also it's worth mentioning that ifit's a Jap auto then an upgraded autobox oil cooler should be your first mod, an upgraded radiator as well.

 

Then if you want more fun a manual conversion. and an engine re-build and turbo up grade.

 

You can find more of the stuff from the traders section, from here

 

HTH my friend

Thanks for all the advice guys, its just a matter of getting the car back from the garage first of all, fingers crossed it should be some time with week with any luck. The Brakes could be a good starting point as it goes, the 300 is a heavy car (i used to have a 200sx, well I still kind of do but thats another story!) and the brakes dont seem to bite as well. The current suspension is an unknown brand of Jap coilovers, ill try and get some pictures to see if anyone has seen them before.

 

It does need some side repeaters, ive got some big plans for her in the long run, including a full colour change to candy gray like this

I dont want to run before I can walk so the external mod's will have to wait for a while.

 

still, its nice to dream!
