yes if a head gasket goes you are looking at a pretty big bill but not £2k and theres a much chance of the HG going on a 300 as any turbo car :) if the car is low mileage, been well looked after and well serviced then you should be fine ;) Mike

why not just buy some?? the place i got my longer hub bolts and wheels from does them for about £60 Mike

top one :) as the picsture shows them they roll clockwise :) HTH

could you either send/email me over yours? to give me a few ideas :) Mike

Some good ideas there bud :) Will sort something out over the weekend. Would like to get some of the traders on here involved first, even if its not in a massive way but more discount for me etc but it all helps ;) Cheers for that Mike

not tried anyone as yet, would rather keep it in the club with the traders on here if poss but if nothing comes of it then i may look elsewhere but hey who knows ;) once the car is up and running at full power it should be interesting and turn a few heads and it should be too hard to get it mag featured in all the main mags? Mike

As i have pretty much decided to make my car pretty much a drag/track car i am looking into ways of keeping the costs down on running her in events etc So as most of the other "big boys" in the skyline, supra, RX7 world etc have sponsorships why not me? Basically i have done 99.9% of all the work and paid for it all but its more oils, some bodywork, maintenence, tyres, general running costs at events etc etc i'm looking at and dont mind getting it stickered up and letting the car be used for the sponsors own events etc?? Not 100% sure how it all works but if theres any traders who want to get involved then let me know. Mike

he did mention he had made up about 8 sets of manifolds for you?? i hope to drop all my stuff off to him next week or so :dance: Mike

i did discuss this and Leon says a 2 1/2 system feeding each side is more than enough for over 900 bhp but i will be going for a 3 inch :) remember its split so i will have a total of 6 inches removing the air ;) which should be more than enough, i hope!! Mike

the 300 engine warms up very quickly, you may get away with a few miles if its full of water but your always running a risk!!

i wouldnt use it mate, if you drive it and it over heats and bear in mind the oem guage is sh1te then you risk cracking the heads etc and causing alot more damage!! i would price it down the road and call the AA out and get them to take you to the garage ;) Mike

yep got them this morning :) PM me how much i owe you for postage mate and a few beers :duffer: Mike

i hope so lol i am worried about them wastegates mate!! the type s ones only just fit on the drivers side so how the hell its gonna fit with that one i dont know :wack: but no doubt we will sort it when we drop in the engine ;)

Well my new bits turned up today :dance: So was very very happy New 20g turbos next to my 18g (now chrisd's) note that the compressor housing is the same The exhaust housing is bigger and the wheel is much bigger No these are monsters!! how the hell were gonna get these to hang down and fit in the bay i dont know but there massive!! Greddy Type R wastegate So the day started really well, can i also say a big thanks to Deve8uk who very kindly lent me his manifolds until mine come and also sent me some other stuff as well so biiiiiiiiiiiig thanks for that mate. started putting the manifolds and turbos together when i noticed the downpipes looked too small and yep i was right!! much too small so this has really fooked things up as there not the sort of thing you can just buy so Leon is making me a new set up as well as a new front exhaust section in 3 inch so this wont be done for a few weeks :( so i'm having a break from it for a few weeks now. Bugger :smw: oh well i will have a few beers instead :duffer: Mike

tis a nice clean smooth looking zed which i like :) hope it stays in the club, be a shame to see you sell it but needs must and people move on and all that ;) Mike

well i will be working on it tomorrow morning but looking like we will run out of stuff to do for the time being but the plenum etc is on ;) just waiting for a sprocket and the turbos to come then its all go again :) the turbos should be here tomorrow or saturday at the latest (i hope) Mike

Aye i was off and could have come :( or you lot could have come and seen the "project" ;)

When you say zedish, i'm upto my arm pits in zed parts trying to remember where they went if that counts :) I love breaking and fixing zeds lmao

to be fair, Jason has only just taken over so its not really fair to say that!! at least give him a chance but in this case yes it possibly should have been done a while ago but looks like for some reason it wasnt :( i love the show but cant make it this year but hope to be there next year :dance:

not unless you have booked it elsewhere or privately no

You have to book trax really early!! i think they stop taking club bookings about 8 weeks before the show :( The last time i did the events i had only just taken the role and missed it but i did manage to swindle a club space but there may have been some left over?? but i did have to go mental and tell a few white lies by saying i had applied for a club stand etc etc ;) Mike

Ive got Boost Oil Temp Water Temp Fuel Pressure and waiting for my Oil Pressure to come!! so 5 in total for me :)

theres a temp sensor under the nose panel which is no doubt been cut or faulty ;)

Hi Barry yes you can just fit forged pistons :) you would need to get the block bored for the new pistons and either fit na squirters or slightly bend the tt ones to point at 90 degrees. it is alot of work as you need to strip the engine right the way to the bare block but it gives it the strength if your planning to go higher power in the future and with the exchange rate in the USA its not expensive to buy a full rebuild kit with pistons etc. give me a bell if you want to chat more about it mate Mike

Hi Chris Cheers for that mate :bow: I have PM'd you and circled the bits i need :) I will give you a bell to sort it out ;) Mike
