Beware none UK Z owners
when i had a bump in my old zed i went to nissan for a quote to give to my insurance company, they refused to even look at it because it was an import, even though the light damage was purely cosmetic.

autobox button
you can shift from D to N and back without needing to press the button but you need to press the button to go into R or 2 or 1 or P. Pretty sure that's correct. I'll check if I drive the z tomorrow.

Fitting a nice big bore exhaust??
no need to mike, i worked for a year for Holset; engine matching, part selecting and commisioning the build of prototype and production turbos for engines that will be released in 2-3 years time. I don't doubt he has masses of knowledge on performance cars, i just know a lot about turbos ;) its just ridiculous to blame a catastrophic failure of a turbo and subsequently the engine on loss of backpressure alone. completely understandable, and you should have said that in the first post. it can very easily be interpreted as ''don't fit a big bore exhaust to your car or this will happen''

Fitting a nice big bore exhaust??
hugely doubt the above mod caused the turbo to fail. if an impeller fails by loosing a blade then that happens through fatigue, if it fails prematurely then thats through abuse or material impurities. the guy was most likely just unlucky.

TRUBO's
the thrust collar, oil slinger and impeller are sandwiched between a step on the shaft and the locking nut at the compressor end, the thrust bearing floats between the thrust collar and the slinger on a cushiom of oil, but it dsnt move. the thrust bearing prevents axial movement of the rotor in both directions. fit step-gap seals in place of standard ones to prevent failure, alot more reliable than normal seals, don't expect to be able to abuse your turbos though.
