...It's also a good time to change the rear gearbox mount and the prop centre bearing - while the zorst if out of the way and the thing is in the air...

Me too - I bought the new turbo elbows/decat delete kit from ebay as well and it fitted like a glove - very happy with the quality - took me all weekend with the car on jack stands, that included 3 hours trying to get the O2 sensors out - gave up in the end and just bought new ones! AIV's out at the same time. :)

Nope - it was the 240SX that came with the 60mm TB apparently

Cheers - maybe 280ZX then I believe they had a 60mm TB - I will check it out...

Hi - looking really good - which throttle bodies did you opt for in the end - from another car - or 300Degree? Keep the pictures coming man - love it. Andy GP

Not a great deal of time this weekend but managed to grab 3 or 4 hours on Sunday to get some stuff done. The belt is on, the cam covers have been powder coated and are ready to fit - just waiting SS bolts. I am still playing with fuel rails so thats going nowhere right now. Will put the front water pipes back on this week, unorthodox pulley is on. Need to buy new shorter belts for water, alternator and steering pump. HICAS is completely out, EGR is deleted, Plenum water bypass is done and the pcv re-route is complete. AIV's are gone, carbon cannister is gone PRVR has gone, CATS are gone! Fitted new O2 sensors, so just awaiting plenum polish to be 100% ready and for the CAS to come back from Mr Chrome and then the plenum pull can complete. Then I start to re-plumb the FMIC, fit the new RAD/electric Fan and the new Oil and Tranny rads which are going where the old SMIC's used to live. Couple of quick pics... Still a lot to do/spend - but I can see some light at the end of the tunnel now. Thanks for looking. :hyper:

Or I guess CO2 would be better

Thanks guys - sometime I type before I think - I am a man after all ;-))

Has anyone seen this tasty twin turbo setup by APS on a Pontiac G8 GT? Very slick

Jimmy - did you ever get your twin pop?

Sorry! Spent too long in the bath - by brain has frazzelled!! I sit and await the abuse that I truely deserve ;-(

Oooh did I say that out loud! :headvswal

Do these baby's have electric hood - or manual? A

...Upper Plenum when your car is at it's optimum working temp? Just note if it is as a result of driving around town or hard motorway usage? If anyone/everyone interested could take the temperture (Say - where the "Twin Turbo" sticker lives) on there TT - that would be fab! Or at least make a note of the exact place where they are reading the temp. :o Any help appreciated. :) Andy

Well not as an alternative to a re-spray Noooooooooooooo lol BUT for other components yes for sure - the Rustoleum Universal is a fab paint that covers anything in 1 coat, the only catch being you can only add subsequent coats within the hour - or after 48 hours! Otherwise it's wrinkles all the way dude!!

Your duty bound to like it sir - it looks just like yours ;-)) Very nice though. Cllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaann!

..As a side note - my scrummie honey was just looking over my shoulder and she says you should spend more time rubbing linseed oil into your patio furniture - and less time pumping your plenum teh! Girls!

Wow - That's what I aspire to - but I am almost sure that mine will NOT be as good as that. That's a brilliant job. Well done - respect. Wanna swap ;-)) I'm sneezing buffing wheel material outta my nose, cit's stuck in my my hair, eybrows - everywhere - it's not very attractive - buffing 3 hours - showering 2 hours ha ha lol Buffy the Plenum slayer I am not!!

Ha ha lol - if you hit a lot of USA based forums you will know a lot of people actually paint there car with this - and swear it's as good as a 5000USD full respray. http://www.instructables.com/id/Paint-Your-Car-With-Rustoleum/ Teh! Americans ;-))

...Might not mean much to some of you - but it has been hard to get in the UK and is damn fine stuff... :hyper:

Cheers matey - appreciated.

They are not trimmed down the long side yet - waiting for the wings/fenders to go back on first.

I have been working on these since MAY!!! Finally finished them - here are a couple of pics of the side covers in primer: The large firewall cover that joins the two is still not done - close - but not quite. These will be painted the same colour as the car eventually - either RED again - or Black - can't decide. :cool: Or if Chrissy P could actually get back to me
