Top gear back on tonight..
well funny you should say that, Jezza is over a lot now he has property here and if he would ever stand still long enough I'd be trying to get him out in a real car :D I've raced that section many times, no idea of times though as the actual road that gets closed off is over 8 miles long! If chunk ever decides to organise a trackday/meet over here I could probably get the road closed AND try and catch Jezza to join in the fun, oh and of course Duke video are based here so they could Video the whole event :hyper: smithy

Top gear back on tonight..
Though it didn't quite go like that at the time, they did get that road closed along with 2 others they used. The montain circuit road is the one most visting car clubs get when they come over, hmm worth a thought ;) Oh and and the end of nite pic having tea, was in Clarksons lighthouse that he's bought over here. smithy

Modifying Time
Pretty good list there fellla and all decent branded stuff too ;) Dunno how much the HKS Suspension is but Tein are highly recommended by most. Brakes, some decent discs and pads with stainless braided lines and new fluid will see a massive improvement, if you more substantial stopping power then bigger discs is a good upgrade. Search using the search facility on the forum for old posts on people experiences. If yer want prices on SPL suspension goodies, DBA discs, carbon kevlar pads, drop me a line ;) cheers smithy

wheel bearing
If it lists UPTO 89 tends to suggest it's the Z31 and not Z32, Z32's came out mid-late 89. Mike feeney in the traders section can supply you the correct one quite quickly. cheers smithy

Ideal upgrade for a maxed out MAF
Not 100% sure mate, though from memory i think they are, if not as long as the connecting plug and couple inches of loom came with it, would make life easier. If the s14 boys can wapp these babies in and their maf is bog all like it, am we can :D cheers smithy
-
are these recommended for road use?
A bit dearer but well worth it, DBA discs and porterfeild pads all the way mate ;) use the search function and see what yer come up with. cheers smithy

Ideal upgrade for a maxed out MAF
It's a larger diameter mate, the size/volume of a maf determins how much it will flow before it starts to max out, on our cars it's the high 400's, this maf on ebay being larger will happliy go well over the 500 bhp mark ;) cheers smithy
-
Ideal upgrade for a maxed out MAF
For anyone who thinks they are almost maxing the maf out now or in the future, you'll be hard pressed to max this one out and pretty easy to fit too ;) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-AFM-Q45-300zx-RB20DET-SR20DET-S13-S14-S15_W0QQitemZ8011681792QQcategoryZ72205QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem smithy

MAF voltage at WOT for doolz / JWT?
Fraid i don't know the answer mate, however if you contact Ash direct then he will, seeing as he designed it an all ;) you can get him on this addy below. AGPowers@bellsouth.net Just noticed your other question on the doolz and it's ability to suck water in. Fraid if theres no room to cut a short section of pipe so as to move the maf back up a bit, then only a splash gaurd of sorts is gonna work, though this defeats some objects it was desigend for. It's always bugged me that his kits move the maf further down simply cos as you know the air flow is electrically "pulsed" and moving the maf down weakens this signal slightly, in fact studying some jap tuners all over the world, they actually look to move the maf backwards in the air tract to increase this pulse rate. Ash has been selling his NEW style doolz for a while, looks impressive and they are fitted with bias plates in the pipework much like TB butterflies, he's gained some very impressive amounts of extra power too ;) Good luck mate. cheers smithy

finally decided to rebuild existing engine to 500+ bhp
Basically many of the internals will happily get you upto around 400bhp without much problem, however they would serously struggle at the higher end and certainly on 500bhp, so the cost to replace some of these parts with say Jun or Tomei for example can be very expensive, parts alone ain't cheap and then theres the labour. I would also expect to the average driver not a massive difference in the feel between the mid 400's and over 500's in power. Unless you got serious amounts of money aim a little lower, have the car mapped by the likes of JD and i think you'll be very happy with what yer get :D cheers smithy

Twin Induction
Here yer go, all details here. http://www.ttzd.com/tech/twinpoptech.html now just make sure yer use some decent air filters, apexis would be good ;) smithy

finally decided to rebuild existing engine to 500+ bhp
something like this ? Block oil passages cleaned Block redecked Block water passage bored out for more water to back cylinders Block Bored and Honed using a Torque Plate Crank balanced and welded on center weight Crank journals polished Shot peened stock rods ARP Rod Studs New Rod and Main bearings(Ceramic Coated) Ceramic Coated Weisco Pistons .040 over Heads oil passages cleaned Heads redecked Ported exhaust and intake runners 5 angle valve job Nismo 740cc injectors more than capable New Valve stem seals New Nissan Head gaskets New Nissan Oil Pump New Nissan Cam seals New Timing Belt New Nissan Timing Belt Tensioner RPS Carbon carbon clutch ;) Turbos options could be Greddy TD05H-16G's, JWT 700BB's or HKS GT2530's and as 500 will max out the maf, yes the JWT type twin intake or upgrade the maf. Cost wise between a healthy mid 400 and 500+ is quite large :eek: Numerous options for the brakes

Twin Induction
That's the ticket mate, in a long round about way that's what i was saying ;) would love to have had before and after figures though just to see how much better the extra cone benefitted. Oh morning :D smithy
