Anyone fitted decat pipes to a post-1993 Zed??
300zx is not in emissions database. so as long as its older than 1995 then its tested as a non-cat vehicle FAQ: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=27060

Next upgrade?????
Very suitable performance upgrades so far....next step should be Brakes and suspension IMO. But for engine performance - Then I'd say decat and Lightenened flywheel next. ...Then its gets expensive.....Bigger Intercoolers, Bigger tubs, bigger injectors, forged pistons.

There were NO UK spec non-turbo's Z32 300zx's. Uk spec is TT 2+2 only, everything else is import. I suspect they mean the older 300zx, the Z31. Which ended production in 1989. You may find UK TT cheaper to insure than an NA (becuase its an import).

performance in a zed isnbt good
Boost guage is a little too far to the right (should be on the -14), which often indicates boost leak. No gaurantee though, as the gauge can be very innaccurate.

Best excuse?

I've often done 200 miles on £30, motorway driving (80mph constant). Dont quote me on this, but I suspect that the TT will be more economical than the NA when your off-boost (eg. steady Motorway driving). Completely opposite when your on-boost though.

rims on e bay
Have seen them (or very similar) fitted to zed(s) before. Although what gets me about that advert is that the seller in in the UK (isle of man) and is offering Free worldwide shipping on US Ebay :eek: It going to cost more to ship them to the U.S than the price they sale for !

Speed warning. Common in Japanese cars, possibly legal requirement? To warn them that they are exceeding the speed limit (about 65mph)

ouch typical TT 0-60 will be around 5.5 secs in standard form. Thats a MASSIVE difference. Must be down by a good 100-150bhp/ibft. Have you done an ECU check ?

Fifth Gear - currently at Thor ...
I missed the program... how were the tests performend? what were the results? What was the test car ? Was it just done on "feel" or did they do timings ? Did they test MPG differences too ?
-
Fifth Gear - currently at Thor ...
Definatly noticable for me, perhaps less noticable in a UK spec as its not mapped for the higher RON as standard. Was also very noticable in all my previous performance cars.

TT ver's M3

TT ver's M3
Both cars run a similar weight and similar suspension setup in stock form. Which one has the best tyres and least worn suspension is what will make the difference...and more importantly, the driver. Naturally you will be performaning any future comparison tests on a private race track ;)
