newbie from scotland!
Welcome

i know but ?
Yup exactly. If you can't or don't wish to be a big spender you need to be smart. Are those true gt28's as I'm journal bearing five bolt rears?

You can buy the turbos is that z1 kit for about a grand in this country but you need to convert them, that requires your own research and fabrications. It's not a five minute job, this is why it was said to you, either do lots of research or hand over some monies to someone with the knowledge. Godspeed are based in Canada and manufactured in china as far as I'm aware.

Didn't you post up the same or very similar turbo last week? Lots of hassle to fit that I expect.

look at the wing on this z32 wow
Exactly....there are clubs out there like that though. Not for zeds but generally.

As I say I actually like aspects of it, if it had a stock or far subtler spoiler and a 99spec front it would look fantastic, in my opinion. I don't think you can really say people aren't or don't highly modify visually the z32, there's been many cars with lots of ascetic alterations. Some wild. It's just the fashion for huge bodykits and pumping sound systems isn't very fashionable now. That's across the board. The fashion is to go very clean and subtle, you've only got to look at what the honda kids are doing, very little fibreglass body kits compared to 10 years ago, and your more likely to find a roll cage than a play station in the boot. Each to their own I say, however this is a discussion board so as long as people arn't abusive or dicatory they can voice their opinion. It's not like the club rejects membership of those who don't retain concourse cars, quite the opposite.

Make your opinions know Si, don't hold back. :lol: I'm not so sure the baggy low slung jean thing is in fashion, not since you and I were teenagers.

Aspects of that yellow z are nice, it's just too far in other areas. Huge big wings like that are OK when they are functional items on purpose built track cars. Simply bolting a massive whale tail to your bootlid is probably going to be wasting a lot of the extra down force just bending the boot. Then there's all sorts of stuff to consider such as front and rear down force balance ratios etc it's way over my head. I think the general just us though that bolting an ironing board to a polo won't make it faster.

water on the inside of windscreen
Half covers are the devil, scratch everything because of the straps and high winds turn then into a paracute. Full cover is the way forward if you have to fit one.

What is wrong with people?
Pretty much yeah.

My Z is sick..........
Have you tried locking it down? Ie lock it into 2nd and boot it? Mine did this, the revs would just shoot up and hit the limter without putting down any power. This happened intermittently for a while, better when cold worse when warm until it just would hold the gear on boost. Manual conversion solved that.

Good work matey. Be good to get it hooked up to conzult. That clutch slip thing you describe, is it more pronounced on gear change, for example when you boot it and it changes down does it struggle to grab the gear?

£?

My SWB Zed...
Like that, nice and neat.

blow off valves
Question. What psi do your rs turbo and zed run at? Just thinking how the noise increases with the amount I'm boosting on mine, so if you were trying to vent more higher pressure air through one single bov it's going to be louder than two at a lower pressure. Possibly.

nice little read on the main jap super cars of the 90 inx the 300zx
Ok highly unusual then lol.

I'm guessing they mean, non convertible. Rather than the slicktop. In yanky land all Lwb us spec cars are na, tt are swb only. If corse verts are all na too. Just badly worded I think.

bhp question
Yup, few years ago you would have been seen as bonkers even bolting up a set of tiny gt525s etc to a stock bottom end. The Americans regularly and reliably run good power on healthy stock blocks. The tide is changing.

Overheating? advice needed
Yup, if there was that much coolant getting in, the rad would never stop bubbling as well. Bleed it, new rad cap, bet it's fine.

Oh it just turned up one day and blocked the sun in the mornings forms Dave's roses after he moved in. It wasn't there all along or anything.

Most likely yes, they have previously been involved in the petition about Mount Everest needing to be stopped.

Have you jacked the front up in the air?

I believe you are correct, can't help myself though sometimes. Most if it I just laugh. The internet is a fantastic place for freaks and weirdos to get together and tell each other they are normal. Proper rivets? Not those pop rivet things actual rivet rivets? Haven't used one of those since college.
