BRake Dust Covers...
The heat treatment will stop it flexing and bending, giving it a "like titanium" quality. The only thing i will need is approx. sizes. I need the height, width, hole pitch, etc... If you can get together some dimensions jim, i can get 'em fabricated by next week. (only rough dimensions buddy) Al.

BRake Dust Covers...
aahhhh...... i see...... they are connected to the tension rods. Maybe i could manufacture them from precipitated aluminuim (heat treated in an oven at high tempurature for 12 hrs) the same, but with the lower part that is welded to the rod, slightly longer laterally, and use jubilee clamps to secure to the tension rods. What do you think? Al.

BRake Dust Covers...
I think i am gonna go for the "zcentre" D2 set up £799. Am a bit fed up with warping too many discs for £200 a pop. Looks good to me, what do you think jim? Al.

BRake Dust Covers...
The brackets look spot on!! Machined aluminium billet, nice tight fit and quite "chunky". 350Z brembo discs should hold up to hard braking, and they aint cheap!! Al.

BRake Dust Covers...
I am running Z1 refurbed calipers, relocation brackets, EBC yellow pads and EBC 350Z brembo discs. I think the reason the discs are warping is the relocation brackets maybe a fraction out, i.e. the caliper is now "offset" to the disc, thus after some heavy, hot braking, the caliper "pulls" the disc out-of-line and it warps. Albeit, it only happens now and then?!?! (the steering wheel judder) Very strange. Al.

do it tomoz matey, if you like. I need a good venting system for my front brakes, keep warping my discs after heavy braking, 2 sets of front rotors in 1 year!!! Must be the old aluminium calipers cannot disapate the heat, unlike the cast iron ones. Not good. Al.

Check this out
Nice video, good to see 300 mech's at work. I think "jimmer" should do a video like this on his engine re-builds, then people can see what goes into the build and the quality of his work, and it is top quality. Only a thought tho. (Soz for the semi hi-jack Damo matey) Al.

intermittant cylinder loss
I remember i had the same/similar problems as yours matey, run good when cold then run on 5 when warm. Mine was the PTU, series I. Changed to series II and all was fine, for a bit, until i discovered i had a vac/boost leak. The symptoms/signs are very alike to running on 5. Might be worth a look for vac/boost leak as you seem to have ruled everything else out. HTH. Al.

intermittant cylinder loss
Sounds like you have done the whole check-list there matey. Do you have a garage near-by who could help you out? Al.

Any one know much about this boost controller
It looks ok to me, but for a few more pounds i would go for a greddy profec B spec II. I have 1 and it is flawless, as do many 300 users here. Al.

Any Advice ?????
Agree with Damo, no engine/interior pics, not a very convincing ad. I would avoid matey. Al.

ALC 1 or 2? How do you tell the difference?
Not sure matey, but am sure after the new year celebrations a tech will help you out. Al.

Hicas lock bar vs. driftworks lock kit
I was at the Nurburgring last year when my o/s rear hicas joint failed. Maybe it was on its last legs, dunno. That swayed me to get rid. I remember when i got my 300 approx 5 years ago, took it to Mr Feeny for a service and thorough look over, and the first thing he said to me when i picked my car up was, "get the hicas gone". 5 years later, and its gone.
