Smithy

Fraid i can't give a deffo mate, but i would say no with an offset of 15. My rears are 10in with an offset of 42 and my fronts are 9in with an offset of 35. A 15 offset is way of the mark for Zeds usual fitemnt, but hey owts possible :) smithy

For a SUB £100 ( £80 to be exact :) ) price the Porterfield imo are a great pad. The ds2500 will perform better and at 40-50% more cost, so they should. I have the DS2500 on my KAD 6 pot kit and i can't wait to get shut, dusty as hell and a squeal when hot..but yes they perform well :) 2 years ago I had a guy test the 3 ranges of P/F and the 2 ranges of Ferrodo and 2 ranges of EBC pads on his track car, he eats pads at the rate of a set an event. My R4-S Porterfields beat the EBC, didn't beat the DS2500 but perfromed okay. Then the R4-E Porterfeild ( still sub £100) was tried and beat the other EBC and was equal to the DS2500 but less dusty. The R4 porterfield (still cheaper than the 2500 )completly beat the DS2500 and was up there with the race psec DS3000, but the Porterfield didn't eat the discs! Point being, apart from the many other factors to consider like disc compatibility, old fluid, and old lines, you get what you pay for. Project -Mu seem to be getting great reveiws on the ole Jap forums no matter what discs are used, so might look at them... cheers smithy

As said mate, 350z discs can only be used with either 350z Brembo calipers OR an adapter kit similar to what i sell, but with a different thickness for the difference in offsett, this adapter i belive is only available in the US from Yugo Bernie. As 350Z after market "decent" discs cost a lot more than Skyline GTR ones, thats why i didn't copy Bernies adapters :) cheers smithy

Yep, and Woody is a man who knows his Zeds :) http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=technical&msg_id=1019112 also interesting reading about catch cans http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=general&msg_id=1884979 hope that helps smithy

between jap and uk TT's ? none mate smithy

As above really Fas, fronts will make a vast improvement for yer. Chris, the person who did that ebay Ad has still gotta be at school and i mean primary school where they use texts as well :rolleyes: Sorry i can't answer yer question fully, all i can say is, GTR Brembos fly straight on the Zed with no probs and no brackets required etc, from an unknown car or different, it would be a case of make up as you go along :) smithy

Had a few chats with Paul this week,usually after each road kill, bike or car :D and she certainly seems one seriously fast Zed with the ability to out corner a scalextric car ! IF he decides to sell, this is pretty much a "ten of best" ready car which will do really well in the top speed and handling section especially :) I guess it's just a case of how big are yer balls :eek: smithy

Yep fronts would make a significant impact mate and yer right rear braking does not account for a great deal. smithy

He's correct, although it is the 200sx S13 owners, basically a light hot hatch of the late 80's. The 200sx S14 owners already have the same brakes as us and again the car is a bit lighter than ours. Beeter pads and discs with lines and a fluid change can make a world of difference to the existing set up assuming all calipers are working correctly, the brembo's will seroiusly stop you though :) smithy

Cheers bud :) Yep both SPL and Powertrix know their stuff ! Consider these parts are under great stress and play an important part too, when buying you really need to know the material used and the load rating so you know it's upto the job. SPL and Powertrix are also the few companies who use sealed Koyo bearings where as others use grease nipples which must be used and checked regularly. I would do the uppers for around 200 squids if other component parts were purchased. Oh and link to some interesting info on Upper arms, click the pic to go large if required. http://www.powertrix.com/Camberarmsinfo.JPG cheers smithy

Re routing the PCV system seems to be the in thing in the US now mate, appears to work well too. You basically take the feed from the highest point being the top of the rocker cover, just means removing plenum to do it! cheers smithy

Why thanks fellas :) All this cos some company supplied bazza the wrong part and I sorted it, gees i must do it more often :D And as for that guy in Aus, well we won't go there :rolleyes: cheers smithy

Yeah it does keep seem quite a nice one, maybe post up a pic of the kit and see if anyone else fancies the other parts ? you would all then split the shipping too :) cheers smithy

Had a look for yer mate, fraid if you want the rear valance you have to also buy the side skirts and front bumper. As Jap body kits go it ain't bad at around a grand plus shipping, which ain't bad by Sea, but from what i can see the only part you can buy seperate, is the rear spoiler for which there are 2 choices. cheers smithy

As above mate, the lintel above the new opening will go into the INNER skin of the outer wall, so you can butt the new opening right up to it no problem smithy

I would gladly mate, but this ****er http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/member.php?userid=8816 hasn't sent me a CAS and PTU back after i loaned them out in similar circumstances as yer self now, he was only registered too..... smithy

The new door frame/opening can go right up to the outside wall if you like. The lintel above the new doorway/opening would go into the INNER wall section of your outer wall. Total time around 2 hours to cut open, put in lintel and fix frame etc ;) smithy

Nah bin em, bet yer never really use em anyways ;) just looked on Lukes site and yep the boys are right about the 99 spec, am wrong, sozzzzz smithy

Sorry no idea on the sensor thing mate. As for the ducts though, they bond straight onto the bumper, nice snug fit and available in Fibreglass ( instock) or Carbon fibre finish ;) smithy

that'll teach yer :D cheers smithy

yes mate, providing you use the 99 spec sides, you'll have both. smithy

erm arn't jap spec, fogs at front, indicatators and side light on the corner of bumper, UK spec dummies on the corner and side light with indicator on the front. well the UK spec and Jap spec Zeds i have are like that ;) smithy

Foglights, NO mate not needed for MOT as front fogs are not a legal requirement, just rear fogs are ;) UK specs have sidelight and indicator where the Jap specs have their Fog lights. cheers smithy

No probs mate, and as for the twinz, fraid i got no contacts in Peru so couldn't do owt with that one, lol cheers smithy

Must confess i've brought quite a few bodykit parts in from japan in the past year, including mine and robs, only 1 bumper slightly damaged which i was compensated for too ;) last unusual/different kit i priced up for someone was the final konnexion at around 1.2K which I thought was pretty good. smithy
