Benefits of switching to Q45 throttle chambers
yup, the MAF's can be an upgrade, but will requeire a remap, you also have the more proven method of switching to dual intake to get the same benefit. Q45 Throttle bodies are way to big as Smithy says, only useful if you plan on creating a new plenum with 1 TB, in which case a Q45 one will be ideal :) Still a waste of time/money though!

I`m gonna do a brake test any ideas?
yup, stoptech spend ages sizing piston sizes to avoid this Not bothered reading the rest of the thread but if you see improved braking under the standing on pedal scenario at 70mph or less, then you had a problem with your stock brakes. Bigger brakes only make a difference for repeated stops and better retardation for much lighter pedal pressure.

600zx - Finally back to work....
that's a big shame, I was hoping to see an update from the drag challenge. I think do what you have to do, these things will always be a black hole financially. Take it off the road till you can afford to do more or break it, a lot of that decision will come down to finances and also where you get the enjoyment, the building, or the end product.

A few mods to make my car quicker
stock injectors are only good for about 14-15psi as long as you have a good ecu... any more and you will be running lean somewhere and are riding a time bomb...

How much lag?????
what brand tires out of interest? If the turbos have been changed, they could quite easily be mismatched for the engine and end up with laggy/spikey performance without actually producing that much extra power.

Why the SWB?
I'm with Yowser on this, I found it easier to get stuff into the SWB boot compared to the LWB... until I put the cage in anyway!

anyone know this zed?
the blue one on ebay is nice but for some reason they've blended the bumper and wings together ...

are standard brakes meant to be pants?
you answered it yourself, stock brakes work well with decent pads providing you haven't got any seized pistons in the calipers
