Stu gutted for you mate, and unfortunately I do now exactly how you feel when some twerp drove straight into mine 2 weeks after fitting my 99 front, luckily been accident free since :) Doesn't look too bad and as you know Peter will be able to make it as good as new. Hope the insurance comes through soon. Cheers Martin

Woooooooooooooooo 15psi!
You really should fit a decent permanent boost guage if you are going to play with this kind of stuff. Here are my results with a couple of different sized jets, but all cars are different. No Jets: 0.64 kgf/square cm = 9.10294 lbf/square inch (PSI) 1.2mm Jets: 0.84 kgf/square cm = 11.947609 lbf/square inch (PSI) 1.0mm Jets: 0.92 kgf/square cm = 13.085476 lbf/square inch (PSI) I stuck with the 1.0mm which should also allow for unwanted boost spikes. HTH Martin :)

Brown Stuff
Very interesting this thread, so much so I went out to take the same pic of my rad. I have been convienced my head gasket had gone (oil in water - no signs of water in oil) and had a total flush but the crap (which certainly does seem to be oil) came back :( Anyways maybe it is rust as Stuart says! What do you guys think from the photo? How can I confirm 100% what the problem is? If it is the gasket 51X do you know what SEs fixed price is? Do they do it with the engine in or out? Cheers Martin

Is your Z on the road?
Off the road! failed head gasket I suspect as oil in coolant :cry: best not be a crack in the head. So I believe an engine out job so gonna save (need bloody job first lol) and get some new tubs also. Probably get some other work done while engine out, but what that is I don't know yet. What can 5k get you nowadays? Oh and still got to get the manual gearbox rebuilt! Fingers crossed she will be back for next summer bigger and better :D Martin

Wind Problem!
My wipers used to sit too high and at speed wind noise was a constant problem (admittedly near side more). It was funny that I noticed a noice reduction when the wipers were on, so I got the wipers repositioned and sat correctly. Problem solved ;)
