What will the results be...
My Manual TT with stock boost did a 5.6 secs 0-60 using Nissan Datascan. When I then increased boost to 14.5psi (everything else the same), and tried again I managed a 4.7 secs 0-60 0-100mph dropped by over 2secs

UK cars have different cruise control settings to Imports. You can fit a UK cruise control ECU into a Import so fix that.

Turbo
It depends on how hard the car has been pushed. 2-3 mins if you just been thrashing it about everywhere would be safe. Whereas, If you've been driving it steady for the last few miles, then no need for turbo timer to be used.

Smell of oil from the interior vents
It has to be an oil leak burning off in the engine bay to be able to smell it through the vents. As its burning off, you wont nessarily get any excess leaking to the ground. Rocker cover gaskets is the most likely issue.

HICAS - Having some issues...
ah, I missed the bit about speedo not working. As said this is either an issue with your speed sensor, Mph>kph convertor (if you have one), or a speedo circuitboard dry joint.

I want one of these!
I presume its got an accelerometer. There are lots of devices out there that do the same, G-tech being probably the most popular, but you can even get software to do it on your iphone now. You would need to input the vehicles weight into it somehow.

HICAS - Having some issues...
Welcome :cool: This problem typically occurs when the Hicas system gets abnormal signals from the steering. Do you have an aftermarket or a stock steering wheel ? If you have aftermarket steering wheel then sounds like you have a non-hicas Steering Boss fitted to it ? or if you have a stock steering wheel then sounds like its not on straight ?

Nismo Radiator cap
There is no advantages to increasing the stock pressure, it does not reduce coolant temps it only increases the temperature of the fluid at which point it boils. If the Coolant temp is boiling with the stock cap then you have problems elsewhere and adding a higher pressure cap will only make things worse. There are downsides in regards to the extra pressure placed on the radiator, pipes and waterpump - an increased risk of leaks. Thats not to say you will encounter problems. If you have one and its been fine then fair enough, up to you if you want to revert back to stock , but there is no reason for somebody to replace a stock cap with a higher pressure cap.

Thats excellent. Should be really helpfull to some. I had a bit of a play with it, to show how it can be simplified, like I have done to my own Z :

does it get any worse
It has got nice wheels - 18" Volk racing, far nicer than the vast majority of wheels on Z's (presuming your talking about the Pink Z in the link like the rest of us, and not the nasty pink Z with white wheels that Si posted up?)

de-cat Q
Good point about selling the Cats, forgot about that. Prices not as good as they were, it was 60 each, but still 60 for the pair is good.

Dont look too bad to me. Pink does'nt have so much of the "girls colour" stigma in Japan like it does here.
