Pretty common I'm afraid. Unless your garage is hermetically sealed, you will always get moisture on the car (condensation forms on the metal as the metal cools quicker than the air at night) Surface rust on recently repaired panels is due to insufficient sealing of that metal. Use a proper etching zinc primer prior to using underseal otherwise it will just creep back through.

Are you absolutely positive that foreign contaminates on the paint are not causing your issues, especially as you're painting outside of a sealed booth? Have you panel wiped prior to clear coat?

I've just ordered some EBC BlueStuff NDX for my Evo X brembos. I don't normally rate EBC brake parts for car applications, but these have had really good reviews across the board so decided to give them a go. Fairly sure BigH runs them on his car. Found OE brembo pads to really lack on initial bite and fade on track. Other options id looked at were Performance Friction PF11's and Carbotech XP8's

I found those dead times to be slightly off when we used them in my map. When I get home I'll screen grab my dead times for you

Nearly went with them last year, but they were pipped by PD. Will give them another crack this year

Wasn't aware that SARD made 1000cc side feed injectors either, biggest SARD side feeds I've ever seen are 850cc red tops

Get it on a conzult and check everything is behaving. Assuming it has been tested correctly, fully up to operating temperature, it could be a number of things. TPS, air leak, base timing (all as previously mentioned) as well as a potentially failing O2 sensor, incorrect fuel pressure, lazy injector or anything else that can make it run rich

GT525's .54AR, 1.55bar (22 and a bit psi), which is pretty much in the limit of the compressor map

Depending on the A/R ratio really, but I'm knocking on 550RWHP with similar supporting mods

Disagree with "No Z is worth that amount of money". Mine is valued at more, as would Simons, joels and a few others. If high spec GTST's are knocking in that sort of money, there is ZERO reason why Z's shouldn't. I will happily concede that car isn't worth that money. It's just not tidy enough nor do the exterior modifications help its cause

Sent you a message mate

^^^^ This. If the Ecu isn't mapped for 555's, don't even think about starting it until you have a 555 base map

Yes, you can put an elastomer compound into the powder that gives it a degree of flex without breaking. Done it to a fair few motorbike springs with no long term issues

Mine are the same. I'll be powder coating mine rather than painting them........ Or a I may be changing to KW version 3's

How well is it idling at the moment? If idles fine, I highly highly doubt it's a popped hose. Last time I popped off and intercooler hose clean off, the car wouldn't idle at all. Sorry to say it, but this sounds like a turbo failure to me

It's all going off in turkey! Worlds gone mad

Lucky! It's a condition of my agreed value policy that it needs a Cat 1 on it

If I had my way, the car wouldn't have an alarm system, but insurance dictates otherwise. I was sensible enough to clean every connector and earth point whilst the engine was out and I was wiring up the additional sensors for my Haltech setup. However the car has been off the road for coming up to 3 years and infrequent charging has no doubt contributed to the death of this battery.

In 275/35/18 you could have Hankook Ventus s1 £256.60 Toyo T1S £240.80 Falken FK453 £222.80 All on http://www.camskill.co.uk/m61b0s333p0/Car_Tyres_-_MPV_Tyres_-_People_Carrier_Tyres_-_18_inch_R18_inch_-_275_35_18_275_35R18 But if you have Hankooks up front, I'd personally go for the matching set - - - Updated - - - Doh my maths failed me there, Hankooks would be £251.60

What you looking to spend buddy?

If you want to stick with Falkens the 453 replaced the 452. Eagle assym 2's seem to be a good price at the moment as the assym 3 came out a little while back. Personally hate Pirelli's. Had P zero rosso's on my first Z and they were aweful in the wet. If you can stil find Bridgestone S02's then snap them up, amazing tyre, by far the best I've had.... Sadly they don't make them any more'and the replacements were just sooooo soft it wasn't worth buying them

Well my Bosch 068 has died after about 3 and a half years (and the previous Bosch only lasted 3) So I'm curious, for those of you that use their z's as a infrequent play thing, what batteries do you prefer Cheers

Also looking a bit hit and miss for me. I'm still waiting on my brake brackets and for it to go into a paint shop, thrown in with the possibility of buying a new house has kinda thrown the Z to the back of the queue. Will still try and get things sorted, but a bit 50/50 at the moment

Crikey, long time! You still Fleet way?
