Aaaargh - White Van Man strikes again.
Shit Gio, That's not good :(. Well just out of interest will you be keeping the stock rear bumper or you going to go for an after market ? If you want a silver Jap Spec Rear I got one in my shed I can sell you. Once again sorry to see it mate :(.

Squeeky Bakes
Firstly WTF are squeeky Bakes ? When you say they stop, are you saying that when you are not on the brake pedal it squeeks ?. Is it a kind of scraping noise ?. If so then the pads have claws on them which you usually adjust when you put the pads on. You may have knocked this when installing and after a few miles of bedding in it will start to scrape against the disc inners. Or do you mean squeeking like something else ?

I was bored
Can't tell any difference really. But then I've put new brakes on the fron tand had new tension bushes fitted so the whole car feels different now, but better handling for sure :D.

Boost leak pictures
Well on Jap specs the gauge is not measured in PSI but in mmHg, but it was reading almost a bar under 7mmHg :confused:

Any builders on here?
Ok mate, Well it just so happens that I have a sh|t load of concrete blocks, as I was going to build another pond at the back, but I have decided to move house now so we can use these. Obviously I will have to charge for them but no where near the price of new ones.

How much extra power - de catting
The cat or decat section of the pipe is the same for SWB / LWB / NA / TT. The only difference is the rear.

Boost leak pictures
Whilst fitting Paul Gunn's Turbo xs BOVs and taking a few video's of them, we could hear a hissing sound after the engine was switched off. Paul said that this had always been the case. Right side of the zorst was also a little smokey. Anyway, Paul fitted a boost gauge yesterday and then phoned me up to tell me that he was only pushing 5 psi. !!!! He popped over later and we ran a few checks on it. We found a few boost leaks and this.... So we took the pipe off and replace both front PCV hoses both were in a bad way There are still a few small Boost leaks to sort out still but after going for another run, we are up to just under 8psi. Paul says the car feels real quick now :eek:, still just over 1psi to get back though. Smoke has also stopped. Will be replacing the rest of the PCV hoses and Valves along with any other leaking boost, vaccum hoses we can find a little later.

Southern go-Karting
so it's superb then is it john :D
-
how much power before
As a rough guide line, you can get away with 14psi safely on stock everything. Then you're looking about 15 - 17psi with uprated intercoolers. Then anything after will start getting you into injectors/ new turbo's and uprated engine parts.

wheels question
Can't you just take your Z with you and try one on ?
-
wheels question
Well if you have stock callipers and stock discs, then a 45mm offset would be more than enough. 35mm is minimum for the 300zx.

Check out my arse!!
Looks very clean. Much better than the stock set up. :D
-
Cheap Tweak
Nope you can't alter it via a conZult but you can monitor it via a conZult, and adjust it by loosening the bolts and rotating it.

Cheap Tweak
When you say bad batch, do you mean lack of octane or "flat fuel" or are we just refering to anything other than Mr. shells finest ? Just thinking that if it's low octane, then maybe we could take out socket set and a few bottle of octane boost to santa pod and do a couple of runs to see what the difference is. 1) First run normal 15 degrees (i.e. stock) 2) Plug the Conzult in and adjust to 17 degrees and add some octane booster octanne booster.
