Don't forget though they work in a cross over fashion, the left turbo drives the right bank etc.

Ooooooo unicorn!

I know it sounds complex but it's not. 100% of engine oil is passed around the block until it reaches +45psi. At this point, where it exceeds 45psi a spring in the oil tree opens up the oil cooler circuit, it's essentially a pressure relief valve. At this point a percentage is sent through the block and a percentage through the cooler back to the pan. There's a 1/18" restriction in the return line that limits the volume of oil, and stops oil pressure dropping excessively. The stock oil cooler is not thermostatic so runs when cold, cold oil is a higher viscosity, therefore more resistant to flow resulting in higher oil pressure. The stock system also does nothing at low load when warm. For example at hot idle. Basically it's quite inefficient. For high performance applications switching to a full flow system, one that cools all the oil that passes through the engine, with a thermostatic sandwich plate, to regulate oil to the optimum tenpreture, is far more preferable. For stock or near stock cars, that see road miles only, the stock system is fine. The oil I. These cars can get dirty quick, esp on higher mileage blocks. Don't forget the FSM recommends oil changes every 3.5k miles. You only have 3L of oil and it gets worked hard in that engine in its cramped bay.

Unless you've got a spare 2JZ kicking about I doubt it. Engine swaps are expensive.

I believe it's about 45psi of oil pressure it opens.

It is and Nick did, but an aftermarket ecu opens up a world of failsafes that just weren't around 30 years ago.

Don't think you can find them anymore. My understanding was that these were made by the same people that were making the AMS ones and it got put a stop to quite quickly. So now your choice is genuine MSP ones or "official copies" the AMS ones.

Cams are the same throughout the range aside from the ones fitted to TT autos. If it's a 91 then it's likely phase 1 30P heads.

Wiesco pistons with Eagle rods are pretty tried and tested. The NA engine is so similar to the TT. Really it's only the Pistons that vary. Although there's some suggestion that the NA heads are slightly more restrictive. Crank, rods(gudgeon pins are different) cams and block are all the same. Exhaust valves are different, TT ones being of a different material. Oil squirters are different but if you are going forged you will want the NA ones anyway. Do you know what phase NA engine you've got? The later ones that feature 10Y heads use a different lower plenum that can accomdate the later style injectors without adapters.

No, there not.

In other words you get what you pay for. Unfortunately in this country were pretty limited by what's available as well. Have you thought about tweaking them? Using a jack and the weight of the car to MAKE them fit? On the plus side the welds are alright and they don't rust in 10 minutes flat.

I had bilstiens before my Tiens they provided a good enough drop and good handling without being harsh. I'd recommend them again. I only switched them out because I wanted the car lower. There was about a 20/30mm gap between tyre and arch I wanted to close.

I have the TT Janspeed ones and apart from the bracket not engaging 100% they fit fine. No problems. They are cheaply made Chinese parts Lee, fitment varies from batch to batch and that's why they are cheap. Ones that bolt up perfect from Yankee land would of been far more expensive.

The 30th is a bank holiday?

I'm in France from the 6th to the 14th and the following weekend I'm working.

Mine aren't far off that. There's about 1/2" gap between caliper and wheel.

Agreed, chrome belongs in the 60/70s.

Meh, probably not. They do a rather tasteful brushed aluminium.

Indeed Baz. Although I'm probably going to go for the silver rather than chrome.

Cheers Alice, they look wiked.

Oh they are :lol: trust me.

Can someone photoshop these wheels onto my car please?

This is cool; http://www.amdrift.com/2012/07/brendan-commins-300zx-drift-car That is not.

No.

That alright, that's kinda a Wednesday only thing though.
