I think for the best all round fast road turbo setup your looking at the JWT 530BB . Fast spooling with a power potential of around 450hp at the rear wheels (500+ fwhp) Z1 Motorsports do their own version of this turbo at a great price called the Z1 GT535R

If your temp gauge drops from normal to nothing within a couple of seconds then there is a bad connection at the temp sensor. Your aux fan should only come on when the vehicle is close to overheating, its a backup safety device and should not come on if everything is ok with the cooling system. It will also come on if there is a bad connection with the ECU temp sensor. However the temp sender for the Dashboard gauge and the ECU temp sender are separate.

They are what many Turbo recon suppliers (TurboDynamics, Turbotechnics..etc) would call Stage 2 Turbos. Stock turbo housings but bored out with larger impellors fitted. Similar to the JWT Sport500 and a couple of the Z1 smaller turbo options. Stage 2 would be stock housings. Stage 3 would be T28 5 bolt housing. The latter offering more potential. For 100 extra I would definatly consider it worth it, providing your not paying more then 500 each for the stage 2 or 700 each for the stage 3. Your still limited by their overall size and wont be able to run high boost levels becuase of heat but they will make more power than stock.

Other way around. As the viscous fluid warms up it releases the clutch and it begins to lock up more the hotter it gets so it will spin faster (with the engine speed). When it is cold the fan spins more freely from the clutch, so the fan spins slower.

Pully set
before you buy ask them if it has a Timing Mark on the Crank Pulley. I've seen a few of the ebay pulleys and none of them had a timing mark. Without it you wont ever be able to have the car's timing checked.

German e bay bling
Actually, there are 2 things I like about this car.... the door panels(minus gold extras) and the tailgate ! I would'nt do that to the tailgate myself but I quite like it. The rest of the car is hideous.

New (better) 500zx vid
I wish Nissan had kept with their initial plans to use the Vh45 when they were designing the 300zx instead of wimping out and changing to the VG30

A lovely pearl wide arch - step up and take credit Tariq!
That is very nice. :cool: Lovely wheels. Although, he needs the widearch version of the rear bumper as he has the non-widearch version which does not look right.

I think they look pretty cool
Very cheap and tacky. Low grade poor quality plastic. Trust me in that in person they look shite. There is another thread about these yesterday on here. Stick to 99spec OEM.

Rear lights

Rear lights
They have them on ebay (the ones in japan) for half that price. They look ok in the pic but they are very cheap and poor quality. That plastic is so thin that those things would blow away in the wind. http://cgi.ebay.com/90-96-NISSAN-300ZX-Z32-FAIRLADY-TAIL-LIGHTS-SMOKE-92-93_W0QQitemZ230344001506QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item35a19287e2&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1171%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

Dont underestimate the Falkens. I rate them quite high myself. They are indeed budget price but perform with the best of them. Ofcourse road legal slicks like the R888 are a different ballgame altogether (for dry weather anyway lol)

The Make and Model of tyre makes all the difference, like night and day. Its Something to do with Tyre Sidewall profile regulations in Japan. The rears are 245 wide for UK/European and U.S Models.
-
turbo gauge.
it should go just past the solid line before the +7 , but the gauges are not accurate and cant be used to judge boost. 14 is for UK models, which use a different scale (psi instead of mmHG) but the same rule applies for the needle position on Imports.

Great minds..... lol

Focus ST (newer shape)
