Casillero Del Diablo I also agree rock star, excellent bottle of wine, they make some gorgeous reds as well! The sunday times wine club is also good value for money, don't go for the bog standard selection but the next one up, every bottle of wine was excellent! Mark

Hi Tony, Polish and port exhaust manifolds and downpipes, maybe put EGT probes into manifolds or downpipes, depending on how safe you want to be!! Maybe move det sensor to a more accesible location! Mark

Plugs
Hi Matey, PFR6B-11B is about the best plug for a modded Z, courtesy Nissan still have a stock of them, here is all the information you could want about them! http://203.79.125.146:10085/nz300zx/technical/sparkplugs.htm http://twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=technical&msg_id=600120 http://twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=technical&msg_id=633031 http://twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=technical&msg_id=633204 http://twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=technical&msg_id=633441 Mark

How much for this lot?
Hello Mate, Pistons Wiseco from the states, 370ish plus tax, Arias from uk 600, it all depends upon the silicon content, I think the higher the content the piston is tougher but as a consequence you get more piston slap, the lower the content it is not as tough (still very strong) but you don't get as much piston slap! Injectors you can adapt the plenum to take Allen Key screws and slightly grind away the plenum so that you change the injectors at any poiint in the future, without removing the plenum! Nismo 550's about 600 quid, Apexi 550 about 510 quid! That is right about the Gaskets etc, as I have just spent 8-900 on getting the right parts from courtesey! Turbos choices are! Garrett GT25's 1800 plus get downpipes PE1420's 2000 for everything Turbo technics stage 2's over a grandish fit straight on Then you keep on going up in price and Lag LOL Other things to consider during the rebuild Clear out water channels, take out core plugs to see! Remove EGR system, plus AIV if you haven't already Replace Det Sensor Consider fitting EGT Gauges Port and Polish Bilky 16 psi is not a problem for the stock conrods, they can hold up to 600BHP Good Luck Mate Mark

Help Me Hard drives Crashed, boo hoo hoo
Cheers Guys!! I have managed to get back on after giving the hard drive an even bigger clout on it's sides, it has fired up but is still making strange noises! I have managed to get Dell to send me another 4.3GB hard drive, even though I was 6 days out of warranty! The guy delivers it and says he wants the old one in exchange, I say I can't as it still has info I want to transfer and its still in the computer! Anyway Dell ring up saying they will give me 30 days to return it! I ask why as it is a Hard drive that is worth no more than £20 new, and it would cost more to courier it than it is worth to them! They say according to them it is worth $600!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And they want it back as it is part of the terms and conditions I signed up for!!! I think they forgot my warranty expired 6 days ago and the courier never even asked for my signature for the hard drive!!!!! :eek: Mark

NZR Calling All Puta Wizzards!!!!!!!!!
Hi, Problems with the computer!!!!! Went to start it up and there was a slighty different sound and it displayed F1 to restart or F2 for setup!!! So I contacted Dell who informed my 3 year warranty expired 6 days ago but were Gracious enough to help me! They said in setup the Puta wasn't recognising there was a hard drive there, so take the cover off, checked the connections and blow the dust away. Which is what the Maestro AndyG suggested, Cheers Andy! And it worked!! For your Info! A week ago, my puta told me it had found a damaged section of the hard Drive and I followed its instructions and isolated it About the same time I opened an email that contained the Klem Virus, my antivirus software detected it isolated it and I then deleted it! So whats the prognosis Puta doctors? Mark

Hi Candice, I think you might get your money by breaking it, or selling it to someone like Mike Feeney to break for you! I don't see a huge amount of interest in a LHD model! Mark

advice on Oil & petrol etc
Hello Mate, The highest readily available octane petrol is shell Optimax 98.6 octane! If you can't use that then use the highest available octane you can get! The oil should be any good quality fully synthetic oil, changed with the filter every 3000 miles! There have been mass debates, lol, about this in the past do a search on it and see the various opinions on the forum! The electric aerial, do a search on TT.net I think I might have seen a fix for them, or buy a used one from Andy Z. Mark
