  1. I've never experience a sieze turbo and the only big vacume leak i've experience was Via a sticking dump valve. So it held presure up to 2500 rpm and then just let go. It felt like a 40 hp car, but you could hear the leak quite loudly. Dunk300zx is the man to ask about siezed turbos. I've got his sieze one in my garage, nasty.
  2. Give over. A knackered NA maybe. A Good NA is very sprightly and only 45 HP down on a TT and because it has a high compression engine instead of the turbos low compression TT engine and lower gearing 0 to 60 is a bit quicker and still zings up to 130+
  3. I have a set of these and I was going to blank off the lamba boss on the O/S mainfold and install it in the top of the Decat pipe thus freeing up more space to clear the column. I introduce Leon to this forum and know his gear is good. He's made system for my TRD and a complete system for my Blues car, but I really couldn't justify £400 for the NA headers when there isn't much wrong with these ones. Yes there's a bit of messing around but worth it I think. Will tell you when there on.
  4. hey I know where that leads to. When I said I was easy I didn't say push over What kind of cookies? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
  5. Mate I really suggest you go back and reread what people have said. Also in a generalist discussion people arn't going to talk in exact dimentions of specific parts, because, A) this isn't an machanical engineering forum and B) the original question was The next but one responce was Thus a discusion started. Then your coments. What advice was incorrect in this thread? Who are you putting right? What does it matter who owns a company if your talking about where its based? :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:
  6. Ah it all become clear. Now I know why your a bitter twisted *******. I should know being a Barnsley fan. Far play it was a good game very enjoyable for the football fans who support neither team. Watched it at my mate Chris's house as he's from your neck of the woods and a long suffering Spurs fan. Don't think you'll keep Berbertof (however you smell it) this summer though. I see him wareing Red next season as Ryan Giggs long term replacement.
  7. I think that the colour of the car dictates and Black white and silver Zeds just look the mutts with 99 spec lights. all Zeds look dated with the standard lights, but 99 spec still look dated and American 70's look on Red or blue cars. What have I got Red and Blue Zeds. I put red lensed LED After burners on my blue car and I don't know what I'll do with my red car or what I'll do with my other SWB when its Sprayed Metal flake Violet.
  8. Well you know what they say i'm easy :slap: :rofl: :rofl:
  9. Give up you silly beggers
  10. Sorry to say it but you really have not read this thread properly and everything that you have just said is already stated there in the thread. Start with the first post from Gezzmarrelda and subsequent replies. Also it is a long time since Blue prints have been used. however you will also find that the term Blue Print has over the years through useage accrued a legal definition as the "Master Copy" and it is more in these terms that tuners talk. I am old enough to remember using Blue prints as a technical illustrator to translate into technical illustrations in the pre CAD and MAC days. Actually it would appear that plenty of people on this thread know the difference between a tolerance and a dimension, and many more people other than engineers do. Class opening gambit of an argument or vailed threat of shut it or else Where has anyone on this thread done so? Then you freely admit that your statement of No Japanese Blueprints being releast to the UK was a silly remark but try to justify it be saying All I will say is it would be prudent and intelegent to not make groundless assumptions before offering what I will loosely call advice. Thanks Dad Please read and comprehend what people are saying before posting condersending snide remarks. This is a cub where people of all different ages, levels of inteligence, viewpoints and opinions meet and chuck stuff about. People dicuss stuff give avdice and hypothersize. People even take the p1ss but in an toung in cheek way. Any one can slagg people off it is hardly friendly or in the nature of what the club is about.
  11. I left home at 17 and had nothing But Fun Fun Fun however I'll soon be leaving home angain and once again i'll have nothing (well a lot less than i have now) but I'll be having fun fun fun again. :hyper: :hyper:
  12. Hey I paid GPS £12K then spent £500 myself trying to sort bits and get it right + borrowed my mate Dave from dpmotorsport and fooked one of his ramps. C & S Wood ended up costing me under £3K to redue every thing they did. It all depends on wether the car will be sorted and reliable and if you think it will be worth it.
  13. There's this FAQ buy Stu which is quite good http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=105794 But there is an even better one somewhere. More detail and step by step + he incerts some extra foam to get a real tight fit and the fininsh job is spot on. The car is silver and the new interior is pale grey.
  14. I know where your coming from mrogers. I drove mine to Grass Hopper and 11 months later had it removed. Spent 3 months trying to get it sorted and then delivered it to Phill at C&S Wood. Three weeks later i had a full engine rebuild and all the snagging through out the car totally sorted. My list was much longer and far more severe. A good garage makes a world of difference and having a car you know is sorted properly give you confidence and faith to start enjoying the car in the way you did at first.
  15. April the 11th for the decree nisi so I will be for the meet. The big problem i'm going to have over the next 2 years is her draging any kind of settlement out as she wants to control everything. Anyway where is Mr Carters name on that list. I'll see if I can prod him into action. He's the most laid back person I've ever met and the only guy I know who is perminantly mentally horizontal. Even without drugs I'm almost regretting this post all ready.
  16. It is the correct PDC I take it? 114.3 f it is it will be OK and will fill the wheel arch more than the standard 35. The fronts on my Blue car are 8.5J x 18 with a 25 offset which pushes it out even further and that fits fine. so I don't see any problem. It will come out towards the wheel arch 8mm more than the standard wheel.
  17. I thought the original ones that Nismo Did used the main monocock with space frame front end, no rear floor and mainly ally pannels. ie the bottom one and the Stillen verson was revised using a full space frame ie the Top one. I only think that because i've seen those Stillen GTS's smashed up at a race on youtube. Also I saw some footage of the Nismo GTS's with front and rear off on some vidio that someone on the Zed club took out in Japan and the main momocock just looked like it was from a proper Z32. Must have been back about 2000/2
  18. there where these I supose and to actually race them they would have had to make a limited production run.
  19. Been Quiet for few months. I'm bored out of my mind sitting on my hands while the solicitors make money carving up my business and home. I can't start anything new or even know when I can I'm really peed off.
  20. Well back at the coffee machine. Just been on a marathon discussion with my soon to be EX wife (only three months to go :hyper: :nana2: :nana2: ) It is the hardest thing in the world to try reach agreement with someone who refuses to accept anything you say. Even when you have resorted to putting everything in writing she still say I have said or done something comepletely different. Apparently I've benn having an affair for the last 5 years (which i haven't) and I've been setting her up to ruin her all this time and some other woman isn't going to get what is hers. I've deliberately got her to go to marrieage guidence 5 years ago so I could use it against her in a divorce. I've run our income down deliberately, because I've stopped her taking money out of the business (40,000 this year) and if the business carn't afford for her to spend thousands of pounds of it's money when she likes then it's obviously not proffitable. (Bare in mind this has nothing to do with the £30000 a year salary i've been paying her) Generally i'm a bad lot who's been poisoning my children against her etc. Is it my age and the fact I don't want this shit anymore. Is it because she's a greedy self serving deluded whitch or are all women like this and I just didn't see it because I was functioning on the 4 brain cells in my penis end. That feels so much better.
  21. you obviously did not read this thread very well then. Because it has been said what blue printing actually is and I've said what a lot of people call blue printing and that you can get get an engine re-engineered to be more efficiant and closer to the Manufactures optimum tollerances. Which they do release in order that engine repairs can be carry out. I agree with regard to turbo charge cars showing less advantages, but not all 300zx are Turbo charged. Your open statement isn't correct either because Honda release blueprints of their engines to the English tunning firm Mugan who do most of Hondas R&D work. You can also buy a Mugan Blueprint version of many Honda lumps.
  22. Yep but for the big boy in racing every micron of extra power reliability etc is woth all of that. Also there are good enough engineers who'll still build your engine to finer tollerances than the factory engine at affordable prices.
  23. You can machine items to within microns of the optimum tolerance. Yes the mere fact we call it tollerance means exactly that there is an acceptable microscopic varience that will not greatly effect the engines operation.
  24. How much do you want a Zed for summer?? (imp with barbed tail and pitch fork sits on sholder and wispers, "you really want one don't you") you could consolidate all into one with a a few grand extra at a lower rate. Then get a nice Zed now while cheeper than summer prices and then pay the September money off your new loan. :nono: :rofl: :rofl: :slap: Her can you press 14 please. White 2 sugers. Cheers
  25. Well I was going to get JD to do me a chip for the some 370 injectors so I'll have some standard injectors if you need or are you sorted.
