That should be use over 80 if you want to preserve box. Just think this one out less revs less torque means less ware and tare.

My Z accelerating from standstill
I've just watch both vids again and 0 to 60 are about the same as you'd expect and 70 to your indicated 130 is actually about a second and a half quicker to on first vid which it should be. Slower second vid because you punched the O/D on. Thats spot on. + it sounds right as well. :confused: :confused: Your getting the my car isn't as fast as it was Paranoya. Which can only lead to expensive upgrades and a general reduction in bank balance and future quality of life as the quest for power navarna takes hold. Don't DOOOOOO IT that car sounds and seem to perorm as it should.

??? I take it back then you need your box looking at. My old Auto was much pacier to 130 with O/D off and would only spin wheels from standstill when O/D off. That was just slack in the prop, trany and diff as the car disengaged and reengaged drive and fed back to you by proberbly aging bushes, ball joints and Hicas, it quite normal as the cars are getting on a bit. Wheel spin produces a much bigger and dramatic rev spike. I'm sorry but when it comes to the techno gubbings as to whats happening in your box you need to speek to a auto box expert. If I was to hazard a guess I'd say its a Torque convertet issue from past experience. That isn't right though yout 0 to 60 is spot on :confused: :confused: sure you arn't confusing the rev hold with O/D

My Z accelerating from standstill
What's Wrong with it? :confused: You switch your overdrive on and effectively you have just changed up a gear. Therefore you fell out of the powerband where the car delivers peek power. Thus you don't acclerate as quickly until your back in correct rev range. Thats exactly what the overdrive should do and is designed to make your car more fuel efficient durring normal driving. Unless you own your own oil company. Then who needs it. P.S. Loss of traction is when the wheels spin due to exccesive RWHP for the tyres to be able to apply traction to the surface you are trying drive on. That car seems to be working well enough and so too does your gearbox. the 0 to 60 was smack on the nose at about 5.2. I asssume its a Jspec. Get a oil cooler on it if it aint got one, because motorway and high speed driving fry the auto boxes.

Turbos
Your far better of taking the car to C & S Woods at Astley Near Manchester as he's closest to you. Though I know he is snowed under for the next 4 weeks. He'll be able to tell you what wrong before you start throwing money around. That way you spend it on whats needed and not what you think might be needed.

Internet Dating
Well when you been off the market for as long as me I think i'd look at internet dating as an option, because I wouldn't have a clue where to meet any Ladies who might have vaguely similar interest these days. + To be quite honest I like to be in charge and lead, but these days most women are in your face and on it before you get their name (which tends to put me off) and yep sex is OK for a week or two, but quite frankley I think there's got to be a bit of a cerebral conection if a relationship is going to work and sparks to fly in the bedroom department.

She's Gone
There ya go then. I'll have to soldier on the way i'm going. Her in doors aint pleased its going to cost more than Originally planned as the builder is back in a fortnight to get on anfd finish the Barns. So I'm hoping I can build a second good engine now out of the remains as I have new Gasket sets (Genuine Nissan not Ebay shit) and can get head skimmed and block honed by Johns mate who owns the recon centre. That way I can claw some money back. Anyway have you got the seats in Yet? P.S. I want to talk to you a but a mean chip and boost set up.

She's Gone
Well it was going to be a check over and fettle as the engine has only done 38K, but unfortunately besides the Plenum being off in the work shop for the past year or so one of the plugs was out and it has got iron filings in the open valve area. So it a complete rebuild with forged pistons the whole shooting match. Better safe than sorry. It also appears that the demize of my previous engine is due to it being over honed. So that may well be sorted and up for sale shortley as I've got my old auto engine with a good block. So if the pistons on present engine are OK???? So Did I. Why do you fancy em? I'll be putting up for sale again soon. It better. If not I've got a good rope and a trusty Truss in the shippon Anyway how much are the VH45's. Could I get one + addapter plate, ECU, Harness and a 450BHP chip for less than £2500. Cos if I can then let me know today before Phil gets started on mine

But not for long. The Green lump in the back of the pickup is the basis of the new engine.
