update on the zed
I think there is a mis conception between a power run on a random dyno, vs a mapping session. A power run, on a new setup, would be disastrous as most likely the chip will not be reflective of the modifications. A mapping session, based on a dyno, is the safest and quickest way to break an engine in. Varying loads across the rpm range under safe conditions before doing the power runs. This is far more effective than several 100 miles at constant rpm on motorways. I have taken several new builds straight to the dyno as soon as possible, often with only a handful of miles completed to ensure no leaks.

Exhaust test pipes question
Most fit both, it's just the different shape of the man vs auto box

What did you do to your zed today?
if a new loom is too expensive, i can't be that hard to figure which ones are damaged and route a fresh one from coils to ptu. Are any coils firing?

Thinking of fitting new seats
I think they're a bit fussy. Nothing beats a nicely trimmed set of Recaro CS'

Decisions decisions - Caliper colour!
Dark Gray, any other colour, even silver will look out of place

Anyone with a Wiring Specialities RHD engine loom - Please Read:
ahh, I cheat. I pulled through the excess as I have lots of space under the dash. There's definitely more loom than you'd expect. Can't take any pics, engine at Jimmers, shell at bodymech, loom in a box!

Chose a great day for it!

I would think na rear end on a tt will make launch harder, happy to see your before and after times.... General driving and in gear acceleration the na rear end will make the car more responsive

Tried launching one yet?

I'm with Noel, I think realistically most TT's will be in the 5-6 sec range... The mid range pull then makes it up! I've not seen any accurate results in the 4sec mark, just gmeters etc Look at the Jtuner results from several years ago, that had proper timing, and best result was 5.3.

Performance head setup, JWT500cams ++
Set of fully ported heads, JWT 500 cams, refreshed lifters, upgraded JWT springs, and titanium retainers for sale.... This is a fully assembled setup ready to go The bad news is that there's some damage to the cam journals on the heads and cams as a result of a bottom end failure. This was from 2 seasons ago. I have had them cleaned up and used them again subsequently without issue, no noises, and no performance issues during dyno tuning and subsequent track work. So, given the damage described, and that a used setup like this should be going for 2k+, I'm looking for offers around the 1k mark. The retainers cost me £600 on their own! If I get no takers then I'll break them for parts, will get most of that for springs and retainers alone :)

Nice exhaust with a nice price.
having had a B&B in the past ... Pros: great for looks and sound. Cons: drones on the motorway, not the best for performance

have a look at the 300zx
without checking, 99% sure it's a VG30DE stock motor ;)
