The gt25r turbo update..........
are you sure you want solid engine mounts. they will be really harsh and put alot of extra strain through the gearbox etc. looks good though

What do you think of this..?
a friend of mine had a strong smell of petrol in his 200sx. The garage looked at loads of different things. Turns out it was the cd auto changer screwed into the boot floor and through the petrol tank:smash: As far as i can remember i think it was the same garage as fitted the auto changer. Aint nissan main dealers great

Now it goes.
surely this is the gain he is adjusting, not the boost? adjusting the gain is the boost ramp up surely. if he is boosting less than 15 psi then its going to be safe ?

thinking of making my own hicas eliminator, any tips or ideas?
the only bit you can fabricate would be the centre bar, you would still have to use the same rods and ends which you say have play. you would need to be able to cut a thread in eliminator. also i would not use stainless on this. if you were to use the correct grade it would cost nearly as much to buy a new eliminator. i would not make one and ive built a car from scratch (not the steering rack) and im a design engineer. please dont do it.

Found you a new spoiler Si.
it might actually work though

Drunken chat
i thought about doing this as i was looking at buying a na swb. the main problem you will have is space. the bonnet line is vey low on the zed so mounting it on top is a big problem unless you want a huge bonnet bulge. you could use two smaller eaton units (m40 i think) from a cooper s if you were to remove the aircon and move the power steering pump to the other isde. you might just have enough room for one each side. otherwise you would be better off with a single centrifugal blower like a vertox. being a centrifugal supercharger you dont have the same charactoristics as a positive displacement type though and it will be a bit more like a turbo. in a nutshell unless you really know what you are doing or have lots of money to throw at it i would steer well clear and either get a tt or do an engine swap for somthing like a v8 nissan, lexus, chevy lsx. or perhapse an rb26. if you want any pointers im fitting a twin turbo lexus v8 into my 200sx so i have a bit of experience with this. if none of the above has put you off then go ahead and get fabricating. oh and good luck

What's the best exhaust?
i was thinking of changing mine. not to sure i like the sound although many have said it sounds good. Its quite quiet but has a bit of bass to it. i want to hear the v6 scream a bit more. at the moment its just a noise. mine has no y / H pipe.

Very black exhaust and soot deposits on my bumper
i think this is what could be up with mine too, anyone near ludlow/evesham with a consult?
-
could this be my problem?
my manual conversion is going to take a bit of time as i have got to get my project car onto its wheels so i can move it out of my garage. (its a bare shell by the way) i think ill take it off the road for a month or two to sort out everything at once.

My new engine (so far)
did the same on my s14 shell. it takes ages how does the z32 manage to weigh so much. its about 300kg heavyer than the s14
