z1 customer service very bad
Generally means there in a warehouse in Japan, newer parts might be supplier order, but older models more likely once it's gone its gone... Normally hear within a couple of days of order if they are no longer available.

z1 customer service very bad

z1 customer service very bad
Shame to hear, I've used them many times with no problems, what about Conceptz? Tried them? Again I've used them with no trouble. Can look into back order through Nissan tomorrow for you if you want, which side do you need?

Auto's on a rolling road
Think they can't get bhp figures because that's calculated afterwards during overrun on manuals I think, something to do with engine braking maybe? 4wds tend to lose alot through their drivetrain too.

Auto's on a rolling road
Taken a few autos to the dyno, unfortunately your graph looks similar to mine, Autos on the dyno generally the graph is whp not bhp, so 213 at the wheels. So for a 20 + year old auto isn't bad, was 280 bhp from factory, will have lost some over time, and automates are quite parasitic so will lose more through there, roughly speaking add 70 onto our auto figure to get bhp. So your about right imo. My old auto running 14psi, fmic and a remap.... Surrey rolling road would highly recommend them, they did get mine to rev higher.

EBay fmic...
At the weekend I'm swapping my fmic for some side mounts, there's nothing wrong with it, but I had to trim my bumper to fit it, and as I've a brand new 99 spec going on I don't want to cut it up. Looking for £100 + postage Also still got a pair of early hks bov's on hard pipes £100 posted if any ones interested. Completely unrelated I have a logitek g27 steering wheel and pedals, for pc and ps3, not ps4 hence sale, open to offers, postage could cost as it's bulky and heavy. But great with gt5/6

Auto flex plate, uprated if possible.
Been asked by someone at work if I could get hold of an auto flex plate. Particularly an uprated one if possible. Don't think I have one, if someone does, I can put the guy in contact with you. As Nissan don't do them anymore. Thanks ash.

Zed versus GTR
Impressed it beat the gtr off the line, had a go in one they just launch.

It's the same price in fibreglass or carbon fibre by the look of it, worst case I can paint it. But I think the carbon will work with the gold and the tail lights. As long ad it's not silly money to ship I think I'll try one.

That's what I originally wanted, but I like the idea of these lips now. Just emailed powertrix for an international shipping quote.
-
Spoiler options...
I do like that, not seen them before, but I don't like loosing the bit above the lights, Just seen a carbon version of that mission lip... Now that could work.
