Mapping nearly finished and competition!
Bet your well chuffed with that :) I would say in real term BHP at the wheels its going to be around 480-490 if you took it to a proper dyno ;) So from experience of that power in a 300zx you will be a very happy bunny :) Mike

If you car is a 96 then earlier model clocks will not fit, you may be able to take them apart and make parts fit but its not a straight forward swap!! Also please remember that you are not allowed to sell or post wanted ads and this is very close to being one already ;) Well worth subscribing buddy Mike

Is this suitable for the Z
if the car is on either a base map or no map yet then your taking a huuuuuuge risk taking it to anywhere near the rev limiter!!! no matter how tempting it is you need to keep the revs below 3-4000 until its run in and mapped right or your seriously risking the car going boom just my thoughts and as john says he can limit the car to anything you want :)

Shift at will kit.
you can see him flick the changer thing but it doesnt chang up or down a gear for a good second so i cant see it being much quicker than the oem box?

More work on the car today
Took a few pics today one of the new radiator, one of the bumper with FMIC, will look alot better once the 99 spec bumper goes on :) and just fitted my boost gauge as mine does not come with an oem one so i like to be able to see what the boost is doing ;) other than that i keep getting rained off :( have the oil cooler to replace and move to the side have a new apexi filter to install need some more silicon to ease my mind on the fmic as i dont like how two of the pipes fit main job is still to get this leak fixed and once thats done and the 99 spec is on with the new wings i have its pretty much done :eek: for now :rofl:
