So... I've got it home... but...
could be your steering wheel isn't dead straight, tripping up the hicas system

psi or bar
it's just another way of measuring pressure. I think it was 14.7psi = 1 bar.

top speed calculator, have a play.
calculator is fine, you put the wrong tire profile in which would increase the gearing / top speed

r230 diff ratios
more likely your diff/subframe bushes than the diff itself

r230 diff ratios
http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2178694/Finally-found-the-limits-of-a-NA-rear-end-.html something to be wary of using the r200 diff (especially for v8 torque monsters:eek:) quaife diff for the r230 here http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/partdetails/Quaife/Drivetrain/Differentials/HorsepowerFreaks_300zx/10250

r230 diff ratios
so, are all the r200's as strong as each other? Is it just a case of picking the ratio of your choice and stick a quaife( or plate) lsd in there if you feel like it? What about the halfshaft's? I see there are aftermarket covers available for the 200sx to increase oil capacity too. Does the quaife for the r200 also convert to equal length halfshaft like the r230 one?

r230 diff ratios
your quaife and leadergears are for the r230 diff which will need the tt subframe. The tt subframe minuse hicas weighs about the same as a na subframe. The weight advantage here is by switching to a r200 diff which needs the na subframe to mount it.

r230 diff ratios
I'm sure I read on the UAS website that the GTR diff was some 20Kg lighter than the TT diff. Anyone know if that's true? Sounds like a big saving and more like what I would expect from switching subframe (ie scrapping HICAS). If the 20Kg is diff alone then it would be worth considering.

Pics of the Z with new paint job and new TheTwinZ bodykit!!
personally, the rear bumper is too close to the exhaust, makes it look the exhaust isn't fitted correctly. Love the look of the diffuser version though so hurry up!

Best Turbos
580 rwhp will be on race gas, built motor with cams. Should still see very healthy numbers here though, especially if you have the 3" downpipes.

General causes for extremely rich AFR
any pinched o rings leading to an injector leaking fuel into the cylinder?

Electric fan draining battery
Stu, you might not have any problems. It's not ideal having the fan on all the time but remember the thermostat in the waterpump will most likely compensate.

Oil starvation solutions for the track
the SZ sump is good quality, it's based on a stock item and they weld on the rest. As for accusump, I suggest you search google as there will be loads of info. It's essentially a pressured container with oil in it. When your engine oil pressure drops too low, the accusump releases it's contents to help the engine maintain correct oil pressure.
