800bhp Zed anybody?
its a 150 shot NOS Bottle.......probably about a 100hp peak increase. As Said, the spec is well within the capabilies of the power claims. Those TD06 20G's are big tubs. There is a Lot of money invested on that list. If everything listed is still fitted , and if its in good order and properly setup.

Wheel spacers incompatibility *WARNING*
Ideally, but often unlikely. Moral of the story is to use the correct nuts, which should come with the spacers.

800bhp Zed anybody?
The Spec is there for that sort of power potential but buyers you would want to fully investigate the car to confirm it currently matches that list which is presumably from at least 6 years ago. A lack of dyno graph, an owner not familiar with the car setup and it sounds like it may have running issues from the vague description, all raises concerns.

Message for paul@SWZ - help with S2 aircon ECU
Pauls not really been on here for years, other than a rare visit the other week. SWZ parts shut down a couple years ago, although he does break the odd Z still and occasionally works on them in his spare time for people. Your best be would be via the ebay, as others have mentioned.

Lightweight crank pulley now engine temp rises at higher RPMs
UK cars have larger water pump pulleys than Imports. If yours is a UK, you can swap to a Jap pulley to speed the pump back up.

Zed parts prices
There has definatly been a change in the market of Z parts over recent years. All to be expected though with an influx of cheap chinese parts and a changing ownership profile as the prices of Z's drop. Prices of used parts have dropped from breakers, and so has how much people are willing to pay for new parts. In the meantime oem part prices continue to rise, and the cost of importing parts from the U.S is more than it used to be a couple of years back. But Its a sad day when you see people asking for chinese tack in the wanted sections becuase they consider it to be too expensive on ebay.

i want a bodykit?
If it helps - the car in your pic has a Greddy style front bumper Kaminari Side skirts Series 4 Rear spoiler Cant see Rear, but my money would go on a Twinz Rear bumper. The Kaminari stuff is only available from the U.S (Z1 motorsports).

What steel wheels fit
Weakness is an operative of strength. Strength refers to the minimum yield or tensile stress required to initiate plastic deformation in a material. Alloys are available as sand cast, pressure cast or forged, with varying degrees of mettalurgy properties, but either way steel rims have less strength than Alloy wheels. They are stronger, but they are less Ductile. For very high impact toughness, such as in Car Stunts, steels wheels will deforms, whereas alloys will fracture. Im presuming thats not what Sparkysparks wants to do with his Z though.
