Which intercooler?
Your right about FMIC blocking more air to the radiator and engine, however to my knowledge nobody has ever actually reported that this has caused any temperature problems. They are more complicated to fit, requiring fitting of new pipework and usually modifications to the Bumper support bar and bumper itself. You will also need to relocate engine oil cooler. They can suffer with larger pressure drops depending on the size and design. SMIC's retain the improved airflow to the radiators and engine. They do not require a new bumper to fit. The stock undershields has ducts at the bottom for airflow to exit, some add extra ducting in the wheelarches, although airflow pressure may negate that method. I guess the disadvantage is that as they are hidden so you cant show them off sticking out the front of your bumper like a fmic. Performance differences,none really..providing both are of adequate size and quality you wont benefit from fitting one over the other in terms of maximum cooling. The most powerfull car in this club is running aftermarket SMIC's

caliper removal
If you remove them your going to have to bleed the brakes. You'll be able to paint them with them still fitted. Use proper caliper paint.

My New Foglight Ducts
I prefer the new location of the sidelights too, they look better wide apart :D

My New Foglight Ducts
Looks great, the stock Fogs do look dated and the ducts look great. I've done the same to mine, including moving the sidelights to the indicators.

How many Admission and how many track sessions do you want Rich ?

350z
yes, thats correct. Nissan launched the new models as ZX to suggest the new line up was more prestige than previous models.
-
Have I missed anything?
Yes, and get the Nismo version, Its an improved design that resolves the OEM sagging flaw.

90-94 Nissan 300ZX TT 660cc Direct fit fuel Injectors on ebay...
Type venom injectors into the forum search box ;) Lots of previous threads about them here. Very bad reputation with inconsistent flow ratings and leaking.

2nd best
Look way overpriced to me. Not looked at Sx's recently but a friend got a tidy s14 not long ago for £1200, and seen nice 1998 S14a's go for £2.5k - £3k
-
350z
No, there is no relation with number of seats and the 'x' as the 260z was the first to be made available as a 2+2, with no 'x'

Changing the oil pump on a TT
I'd suspect worn bottom end bearings for low oil pressure rather than the pump

flywheel bolts
I have no concerns about the bolts I fitted. 12.9 Tensile steel. It was'nt so much about cost but availability at the time, but its true that £80 for a set of bolts is daylight robbery. Every part fitted to my car is either genuine or better, and since the car has been rebuilt by me from a bare shell pretty much every single bolt, nut and washer has been replaced on the entire car.
