Turbo Choice??
the T28s from a gtr are ok but you will have to do alot of work to make them fit and tbh you wont see any power gains or very little over the stock zed turbos as the gtr turbos have ceramic blades and wont run over 1 bar or kerboom ;) better off sticking with some hybrids that were made for the zed or another aftermarket turbo kit of some kind, magnum was selling a hks 2530 kit which is a fantastic turbo Mike

at what bhp do you up rate crankshaft?
unless you want to stroke your engine which is not needed unless your looking at mega mega power then the stock one is more than up to the job :)

anyones used this company
you have to go through the order stage before it tells you how much the total is going to be, there used on the skyline club alot and overall get pretty good comments, they tend to bypass the dreaded vat/duty as well ;) the only thing that tends to happed is some stuff is out of stock and take a while to come but for the price there very very good Mike

Fastest Zed In Country?
you dont need me to tell you how much the air con saps power and does nothing for the over heating of a zed so be affraid, be very affraid if your gonna race it! may be worth removing the air con rad and fan if your gonna race it and you can always put it back when your finished? Mike

Fastest Zed In Country?
the gold CRD supra is now nearly in the 8's ;) with the development of sticky road legal tyres etc the times are coming down massivly as i said with the right setup and a good driver there is no reason why its no possible to get into the 10's!! remember jaffa did a 12.6 with a fairly stock zed with decent rubber etc so you stick another 300bhp on top of that and its gonna bring the time down ;) the other main thing is weight and thats where paul is gonna have a massive advantage, the problem with the likes of MAC and you (alex) is weight, you both have 2+2 targa cars with big bodyits etc which look stunning but from a dragging point of view does nothing for the aerodynamics and adds alot of weight where as paul is going to be running similar power to you in a SWB slicktop and possible semi stripped out so your looking at a good 3-400 kg's lighter which is massive.

Fastest Zed In Country?
http://z32racing.com/ on the left hand side is a list of the fastest zeds, its not really upto date and if you click on some of the links some have gone faster but check out "cpark"s engine spec ;) just goes to show that with a great launch on the right tyres and yes maybe a little nos LOL great times are possible :)

Fastest Zed In Country?
Well theres quite a few supras in the 10's which are not running anything special? all running decent power etc but i think as long as you tick all the right box's ie right suspension, right clutch, right tyres (nittos etc) right power (500++) right technique which in all honesty is possibly the most important!! then i cant see why a zed cant get into the 10's Theres 2 or 3 zeds running in the 9's in the US and none of them are stripped out drag cars, just running decent power and thats pretty much it and theres a few running medium power ie under 400 rwhp that can run in the 11's on street tyres so i really cant see why not as long as its a decent track like york or shakespear ie properly preppared and glued :) If you look as greg duprees 9 sec run he is running an auto so no mental launch for him!! just keeping it smooth

Fastest Zed In Country?
theres also the guy who bought my 18g turbo kit who will be built and ready soom, also jaffa should be there soon, my engine, turbo kit (20g's) etc are going in a car and as Paul said the Pentroof car may be on its way as well but tbh its more a track car but i'm sure it wouldnt be embarrased on the 1/4 mile :) i know we are a good 3-4 years behind people but looks like we are getting there slowly but surely and if someone does not get into the 10's this year i will be very upset :tongue: potencial is there just experience which lets up down Mike
-
what are these worth?
i think your mad, but i told you that paul ;) apart from looks you will not really see any difference in breaking by changing upto the endless calipers etc ive looked the ones on your car and i'm 99% sure there 332mm discs with the 4 pot calipers Mike
