Turbo i need one as my is kaputt
Having your own re-done is quite an easy option these days Di, most companies can turn em round in 72 hours, even turbo technics favour this route when i spoke with them, however there were 2 members here last year who wern't very happy with them when a fault with the turbo meant them being replaced at some expense, it really can be the luck of the draw unfortunately as new items can break, if yer want any further advice feel free to shoot me a mail. cheers smithy

A price on dumps
Fraid so mate, yer can't run 4 dump valves fella, all yer really need to know is what excatly his fitting kit consists off, does it place the new dumps in place of the oldies or as most do place the new dumps on the outer intake pipes in th engine bay, if he can mail you a fitting kit pic, can tell you then what's what mate smithy

A price on dumps
Wez, yer Zed already has dump valves fitted mate, i think the reason why some guys remove them and fit after market ones is simply for the sound, the are easily adjustable and will sustain highre horsepowered cars. Baileys valves are known to be quite cheap and at that price you have to ask why, other jap made aftermarket valves are a lot more cash and plenty of Zeds have em, very few in fact hardly any have baileys that am aware off. Oh and the fitting kit, did they say what it comprised off ? bearing in mind we're talking 2 of everything here. cheers smithy

Timing,quick question
Just to throw another theory in to the ring, going back to my days of owning a silvia it happened a couple of times to me and the guy at nissan showed me that with the TPS being incorrectly set the timing gradually moves away from 15 degrees and advances, it never retards always the opposite direction. Altered timing twice over a 6 month period before going to nissan to get it sorted, so worth checking fella. smithy

FAO smithy
Hi Mike, yep had the block/head coper ringed about 2 1/2 years ago now, cost was about 225 quid to machine block and insert rings, RC Developments used a company local to them in Warrington to do the job, though any decent block specialist can do it. Copper rings bite into the stock gasket to help prevent movement, blowing and correct seal. Pros, well it's a tried and tested/approved method used for years in particular the rally world, helps prevent head gasket failure for what ever reason, is reputed to be the best total seal system for heads, used with stock gaskets, cons, well i know of none mate and certainly none proved on my Zed running 18psi in the time it's been fitted, got a pic or 2 somewhere and may did it out, though al yer see is some copper rings around the piston bores, lol cheers smithy

Vacuum hose
If you don't have an after market boost gauge, buy one now mate, seriously these boost upgrades are okay-ish but you must have a decent reading of boost otherwise potential serious problems, am talking from experience too. Gauges start about 45 quid upwards, a wise investment smithy

Vacuum hose
It's SE's way of a boost upgrade and bleeding air off, don't mess with the restrictor in the end of the hose, when you upgrade to a boost controller you can rip thatb hose out. smithy

Upper radiator hose size
It's 38mm inner diameter all the way through fella, you can source tee offs that can be cut into the top rad pipe on cars, bit fiddly on ours because of the short length and shape, but possible, you can see em in demon tweeks, however fitting yer sender is a different matter, hence why i do the top ones in stainless and boss to suit any gauge, cheers smithy
