mrogers

if they are by themselves i guess they get a ticket for improper use of the 2 plus lane lol

Well i have replaced lots of stuff on my zed, but the 1 item im most pleased by the results was my koyo rad, just pipped my blitz boost controller. Whats the best thing you bought?

though does anybody know the best intake temps to have? might be useless if you dont know whats too high.

After owning my zed for nearly 2 years, it now actually a nice car to drive for the first time. Engine purrs, boost is spot on, handles lovely and i actually drive it not worrying something going to go tits up. Its been a long road, but now i may be able to start on the bodywork. Work so far. Full Service inc Cam Belt & Water Pump etc (had no prev history) 3 Autoboxes (Now rebuilt one) (secondhand ones didnt fix problems) 3 Radiators (Now Koyo) (again seconds dont seem to last) HICAS Overhaul (Stop those wobbly rear wheels) Additional Autobox Oil Cooler (3 autoboxes was enough) Lots of Guages so i Can tell what engine is doing. (Get real temp and pressure information,not the made up stuff from stock guages) Boost Leaks Fixed (Woohoo it no goes) Front Suspension Joints Overhauled (Tighten up front end) Complete New Exhaust System (Now Stainless) (expensive but worth it) Upgraded Brake Pads (now stops) Turbo Timer (Hopefully giving a few more miles on the turbo's) Bailey Bov's (Goose honk was driving me nuts) 3-point rear seat belt conversion (who says i dont think of the family lol) Plus along the way treated myself. Volks Alloys Central 20 ecu, electronic boost controller & Blitz induction Wings West Bumper Some engine bling So as long as the car now stays together only a few more bits to do. PCV Valves Eliminate Rust and paint. Get rid of tweed refurb wheels JOB THEN DONE :dance: From Shitter to Decent car in 2 years. im actually starting to like my car again

Uk spec Autobox Oil cooler is just a different Rad though, easier to get and aftermarker oil cooler, use this for the engine oil and use the old engine oil cooler for the autobox. this also means you can then easy upgrade the rad to a koyo.

i got beat by a new one a week ago, i was quicker than him on the straight, but unlike me he could drive and was so much quicker out of the corners.

nope never saw you. did see a 3 mile high cloud of smoke, was that you?? lol

well i had slowed down to 30 by then as i was running out of fuel and was setting up the controller for another run.

ohh in my sig lol.

i know i never typed the word intrested.

theres info on andy p's site, not hard when your work out where all the bolts are.

Black one turning into sainsbury's emersons green red veilside kitted one going across the dual carridgeway towards longwell green some old codger in a corsa van, who was inturupting me setting up my boost controller LOL ;)

not yet had to go out so will put it back on tomorrow.

only took me an hour and a half i think which aint bad :), well fro me anyway.

Nice to have it in, car runs about 70 degrees now compared to 80 before :) Bugger to get the rad in though and now nothing to clip my bonnet stay to so removed it and stuck it in the boot .

could be the maf if its been stood a long time or something electrical. hopefully it wont be bough by somebody to break, but by a good mechanic who like zeds :)

any idea what causing the spluttering?

darn, ok ill hav to go for a TT speedo it will probally be easier, wanted to get rid of stock boost guage as my car already has 3 others now lol.

Plug and play into a TT?? Not worried about lack of boost guage as i have an aftermarket one anyway.

viscous fan is meant to be on all the time, its the electric one that isnt.

you want wider rear tyres due to being a rwd car. id say for for 8 inch fronts and 9 inch rears

Nope, get the wife to work more hours to save up any required cash.

Dont know about the Turbo but my 944 lux was a better drivers car than my z, so much grip and excellent feedback. just not enough power...

ive got that one also the 944S2 vs 300ZX NA, plus the NSX vs 911 Vs 300ZX which i might try to scan but they are on the net somewhere
