550 BHP on pistonheads
Worth the money for the mods on it but..... Either means he hasn't seen some of the cars on this site or he's trying to make a sales pitch for someone who hasn't seen many 300's.

Boost controllers with high boost button?
I know it's old but... The blitz sbc-id has a program range. So you can set a number of channels up. IIRC I had channel 1 set at 10 psi, channel 2 at 14psi and channel 3 at 16psi. Channels can be changed at the push of a button, rather than a push of a sequence of buttons.

Importing from the USA
I fancy some american muscle. If I can get one I'll got for the GT500KR (but only 1000 have been made currently - pictured below). 2nd choice will be a Shelby super Snake (looks almost idential). Other than that it's a shelby GT500. Don't really want a standard Mustang, so it's one of the above or nothing. I've always liked the old 67 shelby's but now the new models are out I'm hooked on them.

From stock CAR to 450-500 RWHP!! Need Help!!!
Most 4 bolt turbo's are stock turbo's made by a different company. 5 bolt turbo's are upgrades on stock. In summary the difference is: 500 - Stock boost, stock spool up 530 - more boost, stock spool up. the number Jim Wolfe uses represents the expected horse power the turbo's are capable of handling. so 500's = 500hp and 530's = 530 hp. But there are two things to remember. This is expected horse power at the crank not the Rear wheels, and this is American HP figures, which most of the time are a lot higher than UK hp figures. It's like a currency conversion thing, $2 = £1 or 500hp (US) = 400 hp (UK) However the secret to quicker spool up is in the down pipes and manifolds.

Importing from the USA
I'm thinking that once I get the Z back I'll probably keep it for a year or so and then sell it and put some money towards my other realistic dream car. Anyone know anything about importing cars from the US so I can prepare ?

Upgrade ECU Chips
Rather than buying mods to suit your chip, it's worth taking some time to ask yourself what you want out of your car. Then you need to ask yourself what your budget is to achieve it. Here in the UK the BHP figures seem to be much lower than the US BHP figures even with idential mods. So I'm not sure what this is down to. I can only assume thier dyno's and our dyno's are different in some way. People on this site can give you advice as to what has been tried and tested here and to what we have foudn to be an effective set up, but personally I wouldn't buy a chip until you know what you want. If you already have an induction and an after martket exhaust then a chipped ECU may be your next move. However if you are thinking of bigger injectors, turbo's, forged pistons etc, then it may be worth trying to find an experienced mapper, someone that has had experience with the 300zx and get them to custom map a chip for your set up.

I think it's time to move the wife and kid in with my parents and rent mine out to make some serious money, especially with the olympics coming.

PX on my Z
Yeah, I think the funny side of it came shortly after the relief that our house wasn't flooded :). I'm going to have to think of a way to get her back now.

PX on my Z
LOL, Anyone else I would have believed it, but not you MAC :). My Wife fooked me over this morning. I was late for work as I'd been called out a few times in the night. The trains were running late anyway due to signal problems in Great Portland street. She calls me just as I'm approaching Barbican. Something has burst under the sink in the kitchen.... There's water p|ssing out all over the place and the entire kitchen is covered in water... it's now starting to go into the front room. I had no idea what to tell her so I got off the train to think about what the simplist solution would be until I got home... Next thing I know.. April foools.... FFS !!!! I'm was then on the platform at Barbican and the next train is delayed by 15 mins :(.

My car needs a name
Candice ? I kinda named mine Silver Streak when I started modifing it, but that was "project Silver Streak" I suppose a I should start thinking of a shorter name for her. For some reason I was thinking of Susan, but then I read the post from Big Kim about his ex army mate and changed my mind lol.

Any Pics of Zeds over here painted in the 2008 Ducati Red ?
Looking very smooth indeed ALZ. I've always thought about the thought of a widearse on mine but never really found a rear bumper that I think would suit it so never had it converted.
