Glad you found your way. Welcome.

They are dated, the z31 is way closer to the s130 than the z32. The s130 is a child of the 70s, the 70s. The z32 is a child 90s (ok 89, but you get me.) The z31 is a much older design. Don't discount the Z31 though, it's a great looking car with a few modifications. Do a google images search if you don't believe me, I'm sure you will be converted. There's a % of me that would swap.

Beautiful.

Good bye heater matrix. Does it smell like fish curry?

Doesn't it improve grip? :lol:

That's cheap.

Very thin on the ground. I've seen a handful.

Sorry I didn't get back to you Howard been a touch busy. Put me down as a maybe, gotta get this MOT sorted.

That's correct, except that out turbos don't have a vac nipple like that so you will need to use one of the stock locations on the Intercooler pipes.

Correct, that's how mine is. There's an obvious risk there but that risk is your own to take. I don't have the factory knock sensor either. Very basic in my bay.

Time to look at the under side and take some measurements. See how far off things are. It looks cosmetic.

It's a retirement thing. :lol:

I'd say so lol, an 8mm boost jet wouldn't really fit in the pipe. Not to mention they are mig tips and I've never seen 8mm thick welding wire, I'd call that a rod haha.

No you need a bleed off to create a differential, otherwise it just catches up and both sides of the restriction equal out and wastegate pressure is achieved. In theory the boost pressure would spike until it levels out. In reality this happens virtually instantly because there's no volume in the pipe as such, so you won't see this. You will just won't go over 6-7psi. Think of an hour glass, the bottom half will fill from the top. Now imagine the sand from above is endless, eventually both would fill and become equally full of sand. This is how things currently are for you. If you cut a hole that let the sand pour out the bottom section, obviously the bottom would never fill. This is in effect how the stock solenoids, E/MBC work. Metering off air to trick the waste gate into only seeing 7psi. Basically if you wish to run this way you will need an aftermarket boost controller. I can explain this in more detail or provide diagrams if you really need it but that's the bottom line.

Would it not be far simpler/cheaper to reroute the stock pipes with larger diameter hose and delete/modify where appropriate restrictive bends. I'm assuming that given your prefix of the hose attatchments to the pump diameter isn't the factor per say. By this I mean the take offs are bottle necks, the collective resistance over a straight length of pipe is relatively low comparatively to a 90' bend, not to say it's not a significant factor over a long run, if the fuel lines had no bends then I suspect the problem would be far less pronounced. If we instead changed to say 10mm hardlines avoiding harsh bends, long sweeps etc then I recon that you would save a good deal on hosing costs with an acceptable outcome. Obviously I haven't done the math and you have. I'm merely saying I recon this potentially worth while route could be made far more pocket friendly. Be interesting to see at what point this becomes problematic. Obviously it stands to reason that at WOT a car with 370cc injectors will suffer far less than one with 1000cc injectors. For example it would be interesting to see the effect on a 400-500fwhp car on 550cc injectors as this is fairly common, comparatively. I think you've stumbled across something really worth more thought for zed tuning.

Welcome. Being the first year of "japday" having it replace japfest at that location we obviously missed the boat this year. There will be a far higher turn out in July at simply Japanese down in beaulieu in hants. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?184419-Simply-japanese-2016!!!&highlight=Simply+Japanese

If I understand you correctly, that you have a single piece from the actuator to the inter cooler pipe, then yes, sort of correct. The only issue is without the boost solenoids you need a bleed off otherwise you will only get wastegate pressure, ie 7psi. If you install an EBC/MBC that solves it. I made the same mistake.

Me too. :lol:

Indicator tell inoperative, offside. (Bulb, fixed) Windscreen washer provides insufficient water.(partially blocked nozzle, fixed) Rear fog switch missing(no, he just failed to find it) Rear fog lamp missing(wired to tail lights, never in the history of the car failed) Brake caliper carrier locking component missing.(requires x4 m12 nylocks to satisfy him. Why I don't know the bracket using the same fastening as stock.) When I queried the response was the guy who did it last year no longer works here, some of his tests were slipping a touch. I think they must of had a ticking off recently. I even got 1 advisory this year; "Exhaust noisey"

One thing is fair enough. The rest it did get a bit akward because it's petty. Bear in mind the same place passed it last year with no advisories. Rear fog and washer jets were the squabble.

Failed the MOT.

That's proven fact. Just joshing you about.

Just be that dick :whistling: Technically the whole car is "Far East rubbish" :biggrin: With that and the fact China makes everything including high quality products Samsung, Apple etc, possibly better to say cheaply made copies.

320mm diameter is for the z33 and r33/34 brakes. You won't get the massive 345mm brakes unless your using Evo 10 brakes.

There was an F430 at B&Q on Sunday. Common sight.
