You need to attend, I want to see the sister car to my slicktop...

What about driver? Do I need full race gear? Or will just a helmet do?

Does that meen road insurance, or track insurance?

Well I say we break into the large runway... One good thing is it looks like it's got better roads to get in and out of, never forget the first year at Wicksteed park making a mess trying to get up the hill.

New venue a pita, even further for me, I'll be there but with adl racing again, will be there the whole weekend this time so will try to be more social.

It's why I've decided to go back to smic, ( ok z1 ba smic), as it might still be expensive but should be a straight forward fit.

Do you have to give them reg numbers? I'll plan to use the slicktop, but if it's not ready the na can come,

Oh OK thought it was all a team thing, in that case I'll definitely have a go. Maybe I'll bring my na too in that case...

I'd like to take part, but can I go on the reserve slot, as wouldn't want to take a spot from a more competitive zed.

Thanks for clearing that up noz,

Thanks guys,

If it's tuned to be able to hit the 600 mark, is it as simple as turning the boost down if I don't want so much power? Or do I need to be able to switch maps?

Having not had anything with that kind of power before I'm just going on paper of what I'd like and what would in theory be competitive within my circle, Guess I could build it in stages, see where I like it, its only 300bhp at the moment don't even think it could complete against my na round brands indy. That could be fun actually, might rope a mate in for some testing.

Tbh Its why I have 2 zeds, I don't mind compriseing,

Already has a uprated clutch and radiator, and bigger front brakes, need the matching rears, Won't be anything formal, although I would like to join in at ten of the best at some point, will just be drag and trackdays, Although if it's good enough I've friends who do sprint/ hill climb events, Tbh Its probably an impossible task but I'd like it to be good across the board, not necessarily excel in one area.

Yeah z1 big ass smic, That was my next question which injectors. I have a 3" swb cat back imported a z1 pg system. Very noisy opps

Well new year, new plans, With my green na having passed it's mot and the tyre replaced after its blowout, i've decided to turn my attention to my swb, and just keep playing with the green one, to cut a long story short, my mate are supra guys and I've inadvertently started a bit of a competition between my 300 and their Toyota, I know roughly what I'm doing but not tunned anything to this level before, so assuming I'm a complete novice what would I need to achieve 550-600 bhp? As that's what I'll need to be competitive. I don't want to build it to destruction and there's no deadline, so it want to do it properly. Here's my current thoughts Gt675 turbos, Ba smic 2.5" pipework, 3" exhuast ( I want lambree ultimate downpipes) Ams manifolds Dual intake Now how far do I need to go with the engine? And what else does anyone recommend? Any comments advice options opinions please, # the outside is staying as is apart from a bit of tidying, and matching big brakes on the rear.

Jumped on those comments a bit, was in a foul mood this morning, as my zed nearly killed me today, had a blowout of one of my rear tyres on the way to work, all good fun...

I guess I'm lucky to have the best of both worlds, the increasingly apparent social pariah that is my green na, and the garage gueen slicktop. Lots of big words see now I'm not a yob with my trousers below my arse, well at least I pulled my trousers up anyway...

And what's wrong with na track cars??? My little na's great fun round brands, I know there not as fast top end but they are still quick and fun in their own right. Where's slickpete he'll back me up, (I hope) Ouch I hope si doesn't count mine in that rant,

Makes a good picnic table too...

Don't be silly.... It's for doing my ironing.

All speechless... I win Was joking by the way, still think my spoilers funny, but it serves a purpose,

Oil cooler goes on the outside...and exhaust through the bonnet, That's what I've been doing wrong I'll get it right with the slicktop... Hehehe.

Where can I get one? More of a write up on that car http://www.9kracing.com/carlos-bonillas-nissan-300zx/
