Are you sure they are 350z brembos?

Yet the new film comes in, December is it? Well done Disney.

Happy birthday buddy.

Looks really nice that some nice little extras. Is that 25k miles?

Yeah pretty simple. You can probably do it with the rad in but you've gotta drain it all anyway so may aswel make life easy. You will need an Allen head bit 6mm I think, as the three bolts that hold it are Allen headed. You will also need some good strong needle nose pliers. Drain down the system. Remove the rad and fan clutch. Undo the three Allen bolts. Use the pliers to pull the spring clip together and push it back out the way. Pop off the temp sensors. Wiggle the top pipe off, it may require some pulling. Replace the pipes, clean up and reseal. Done. Bleed the system out as per the service manual. You could change the thermostat and top hats while your there for very little money and some added peace of mind.

Corse not idle, duhhh. But very impressive. At what point would you recommend to go that bit further than a chip and use nistune? It's obviously more expensive.

Is it in she asked. Yes, yes it's in there he replied.

Like I say, covering thier ass. With the autoboxes extra girth, young Chinese tube bender, let call him Robert might mean the clash. If it was manual that extra 1" of space you would of never known Robert had a lazy Friday head on.

14psi at idle! I can't wait to get through this stage to get to the Noel make it faster stage.

That's the problem it was when it wasn't supposed to be or the other way round depending on how you look at it. A VG30DE+(TT). It's very much a VG30DETT now though lol.

They are covering their arse. As I say they can fit but the quality varies, so from batch to batch the pipes will line up better or worse. It's the nature of rolling tube unfortunately. Due to material properties and the way the tooling wears the settings used last month won't create the same effect this month. Tie in some Chinese style quality control and you have a degree of variability. Some fit and others catch on the box. With some persuading I'm sure they would fit but it's a chance you take. Equally the added issue of the necessary turbo elbow change to use the unsilenced type open new and of worms. Will those bolts on the rear of the turbo undo or have 20+ years of heat cycling seized them nicely? Will the reduction in back pressure show up the fact that the rear seal is failing causing smoke as oil dribbles into the exhaust...I noticed a real gain by removing the cats, not just in loosing a rusty pair of tubes but in responsiveness. I did however open a flood gate. TBF though those issues were not the fault of the decat and some not even related but it highlighted those issues to what I was previously blind too.

Not the norm though is it...mine boosts about 2 psi if I give it stick at idle.

Yeah you will get a vac reading nice healthy one. -10 doesn't sound too bad, I would expect that at idle maybe a touch more on over run.

Machine!!

I'm sure you know this si but it won't boost in neutral. You need load to spool them. Smoke pellets are winner, as is soapy water.

Probably not, the ones pictured use an extra silencer, thats the issue even with the other ones they CAN catch on the box. Despite the quality being very good for the money they arnt faultless and may require some persuasion to fit. The other version requires the turbo elbow to be changed as well, as the mating flanges are very different.

Yeah I've had mine rebuilt. Wasn't that expensive. The hydraulics company will work out what the spec needs to be from the old one. As for the other issue, it could just be the oil had drained back and you should have primed the engine, pop the fuel relay out and turn it over get the oil flowing. See what it does on the next start up.

Ahh it's not a super low red NA is it? I don't live far from you near Poole lane.

Yeah I will get it done, all this is merrly stage one of a bigger long term plan.

Hahahaha it was ok actually. I used this link from driftworks; http://www.driftworks.com/forum/faq-new-members-please-read/76000-stainless-steering-bush-fitting-guide.html That was marginally helpful. The Z32 steering collum is slightly different though with nuts both end, sadly the bolt is captive though. Which meant I was forced to move the car off the ramps and onto axel stands, this allowed free manipulation of the rack by hand. Undid the two bolts on the steering rack UJ then the steering collum can slide down out the way. Assemble the bush as per the link. Reassemble. Try to get the steering wheel back on straight... Fun.

Shaker, smasher more like. I'm just a little pissy I can't afford a new gearbox mount.

It's in and no I'm not sharing how.

Cheers, I was starting to consider shelving it but if it makes a positive effect then il take the time to fit it.

Hi guys, anyone fitted one of these; It just seems everything is at the wrong angle to undo and I'm starting to think i need to remove the steering collum to do it. Engines out so I thought it would be a quick simple job, sadly not.

That looks much better bud. You will need those sunglasses we have this thing called sun down here, don't spend to long in it though or you will turn into a beet root.
