thats fine if you didnt buy the car that was embelished..... quotes off the article JE Rcaing Pistons HKS 1.2mm steel head gaskets T28 Turbos 555 injectors Lightened flywheel 440 bhp @ 6,500 rpm ........where is this engine becuase i certainly didnt buy it. It is interesting to read this article because it mirrors almost exactly what Warren advertised the car as and what he verbally confirmed to me Regards, Alex

what you talking about - put the zed away - only when she's being tweaked:dance:

SE Nissan - my experience ptII
i have my zed back - ok she's a bit late but whats the story? I had her booked into SE with a firm idea of what i wanted to achieve. I'm not interested in bhp bragging rights - i wanted a car that was easy to drive had had a good pick up and mid range. I'm a firm believer that if you can get 450bhp of good mid range grunt on a day to day basis it'll beat a 600bhp high end monster. well at the moment i dont know what she's achieving becuase i need 1000 miles before we put her on a rolling road. but i can tell you this.... 1) i've never driven anything like her 2) Pete say's "she maybe the most responsive car to leave SE NIssan" What have i had done .... 1) Turbo Dynamics stage 2-3 roller bearing hybrids 2) Fidanza aluminium flywheel 3) Vernier Pulleys 4) Underdrive crank pulley (shortened ratio) for those of you who have been following my posts about my compression problem - is seems to have gone away - the way that the car is running suggests that the compression tests were flawed in someway but even pete doesnt know why....... .......she sounds magnificent and drives amazingly - if i am suffering compression loss then god help anyone with a good engine because she is scaring the bejezuss out of me. So what do i think about SE nissan - honestly - i think they need more staff - but their expertise is unparalleled- I almost dont care what my zed does on a rolling road because she is a joy to drive - far surpassing both my last zed and this one before it went in to SE. Many thanks to SE for seeing a boxter S humbled at the A12 M25 roundabout :D Kindest Regards, Alex p.s. I'm still running a standard mines ECU at the moment - custom SE map in 4 weeks p.p.s for anyone interested the verniers were set at 5' advance intake and 15' advance exhaust.

hi steve - you really thinking about getting the TG05-16's - i would love to but how can you justify spending that much money on turbo's? Kirbz - you mentioned you could get cheap turbo's, how much for a set of these?? Regards, Alex
