Quaife ATB and 4.10 Leader gear set
I think, think bob has that gear set. Maybe worth asking him?

First dyno run of Zed, not sure what to make of the figures...
It's very very odd, maybe an expert like Noel will shed some light.

That being said the graph does say flywheel power and flywheel torque.

I would assume that too, if you guesstimate the trans loss and put it on you've got that figure 330ish fwhp.

It's not 100% stock it's got divorced down pipes, cat back and cone filter. But yeah it sounds as if mines pretty healthy.

If that's at the fly that's not right. Mine on stock ecu(no chip) stock boost (9psi) and auto turbos made 283bhp at the fly or 279bhp corrected fly wheel figure whatever that means. In my experience you should be making 330-340fwhp on that chip and 14psi.

Buying advice
I never saw that grey one up close but if it was as good as it looked it was under priced at £4k, 3.5k is now about the going rate for a well look after clean car, heading upwards to 5k for a good car, a car in A1 condition, of which there are very few in this country is going to cost whatever it costs to prize it out the current owners hands. The 1-2k cars that were plentiful a few years back seems to be drastically reducing as most of them were just terrors and dogs. With that in mind I wouldn't pay 4k for Uk car that needs a new front cross member and sills, even if your handy the materials are going to add up. That's an entry price car by the sound of it and worth about 1.5k depending on the rest of the car. I would hold onto your money, look to spend 3.5k ish for a clean car and spend the remainder on servicing. Plenty of good cars out there, if your prepared to wait.

Makes logical sense I think. Plus that drive in is winner.

Any reasons why I should not run 21psi (or at least try) on a stock engine?
As said get it mapped you will gain even still at 14 psi, and will likely be able to run more.

Few hours detailing this morning.
I've been using the poor boys stuff for about a about a year now, its bloody good stuff. Simon actually commented he couldn't remember it being that shiney, had I had some work done. It hold well as well, ok my car is out of the elements virtually constantly but it has lasted about two months and still has a good deep gloss. When I do leave the car to get rained on it was lasting about a month of damn good beading and lovely shine. Must give it a damn good clean before Coventry, although it does take a beating from the country lanes with stone chips and pot holes, I'm not afraid to use it in anger so it does pick up the scratches. Here's a close up of my paint after a clay bar, then poor boys diamond white followed by poor boys natty wax, stinks of bubble gum afterwards though which is nice.

As above or stick it on a switch, I believe jimmyTT did that. Function for track, safety for road.

"Simply Japanese" - Beaulieu Motor Museum - Joint southern area meet
You've got basically a month and a half mate, doesn't need to be a show winner(we had 3 zeds in for best in show out if 10 selected cars of the whole 1000 cars on site! Bloody good going, two from this club) it's the turning up and enjoying a bloody nice day out that counts, very relaxed family friendly show.

Just reviving this and starting to push, this little gem In the calendar is fast approaching, sneaking up us. Let start getting some proper numbers last year had a damn good turn out.

temp sensor
I couldn't say, seems to be the same one used in a multitude of nissans, might be worth hoiking one out from the breakers yard and comparing it.

temp sensor
Oooo look, looks very familiar doesn't it... http://www.bmfautoparts.com/Single-Part.aspx?GID=INS%5E55516%5E14840%5ESSCH-CO%5ETMPT&gclid=CLjRy-TNir8CFdOhtAodMU4A6Q

http://www.zcentre.co.uk/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=67&Itemid=7 Just replace the ecu temp sender and have done with it, I bet you can get one cheaper than that aswel, probably off a micra or something.

temp sensor
As far as I'm aware once you've gone into safety boost you will stay there, unless you reset the ecu. Are you getting 7psi, that's the main indication of safety boost.
