Which Rad, Z1 Howe or the Koyo?
Might treat the zed and me :D! Have seen both, Koyo is a much tidier looking rad, the Howe looks a bit rough to me, sorry to the guys that have one, but on the upside I hear the howe has a larger capacity?

I suppose you could take the caliper off, chock the pads, turn the calipe upside down and bleed it!

NGK PFR6B-11B gapped to .95mm 15.5 psi is a little over what the turbos can take 15 or below is the guideline!

A definitive answer from NGK about irridium plugs!
Hello, The spark plug designed for the 300ZX uses a special design. The spark plug has a extra long projection with an extended shell. The purpose of the long projection is to ignite the A/F mixture deeper in the combustion chamber, allowing fast flame kernel growth as well as good anti fouling characteristics. Since the PFR6B-11B uses an extended projection, the insulator needs to be protected from thermal shock. Thermal shock is the heating and cooling of the insulators firing end. If you look at the PFR6B-11B firing end you'll notice the insulator is narrow and gets wider the further down in the shell, like all spark plugs. The insulator tip is hotter than the insulator down inside the shell. The difference in temperature can cause insulator breakage. If you notice the PFR6B-11B is a 3/4 thread reach and has a section past the threads, which has no threads. This section is designed to prevent thermal shock on the insulator and enables us to reduce ground electrode length from the weld to the bend. If we didn't use the shell extension the ground electrode would be very long from the weld to the bend. This would make the ground electrode prone to failure. We don't list an iridium spark plug due to the fact we don't make this exact design in iridium. For liability issues we won't list an iridium spark plug for this application due to it's special design. However by calling or emailing we can make the recommendation of an iridium spark plug with less projection, especially in modified applications. Of course the end user will use at there own risk. In modified applications you don't want as much projection as a daily driver so performance isn't an issue. You can use the iridium spark plugs BKR series in this application. Again it will have less projection then the spark plug originally designed for the vehicle. Jon MacQuarrie Technical Support Specialist NGK Spark Plugs

What hoses pop at the rear of the engine NS?
Hi Willie, I have never heard of problem caused by the bypass, the only problem it could cause would be to freeze the throttle bodies! The water warms the plenum and TB's for extremely cold climates, and for me it is a detracts for the idea of the intercoolers. The turbos are meant to have too much of a warming effect for this to ever happen.

Top Gear Cars
Hi, Mike as far as I know the convertible is the only other TT convertible in the country the Bodywork was done by Paul Bailey and taken to SE for the TT conversion and tuning, apparently now it is laid up in a Barn in Essex as it has never run right, BTW it is a sort of depp blue/purple and was featured in slak flower!

Thats the beauty of the throttle body bypass, you replace all of the plenum hoses with four hoses!

Gentlemen, This forum is not a medium for your personal angst, continue this "debate" via another form of communication, or I will get my banning wand out and I am not the type of Fairy you guys dream about

Whatever happened to the good old days when a pint of redex would solve every problem:D If it didn't it alerted every amateur mechanic in the town to come out to the rescue as the carcenogenic cloud killed the aphids on the roses :dance: :dance:
