Nicely done, lots of work to do then I guess? what spec is it? a non turbo, twin turbo, manual im guessing?

Mine does that aswel, I thought it was the exhaust is wasnt, I've got virtually no heatsheilds. Glad I'm not alone though.

With a thousand hp on a zed and nothing else heavily modded you just smoke tyres and still make 12s! Some of the correct mods would see your 500hp z make a quater mile much quicker.

The diameter is irrelevant mostly, as you will maintain the rolling radius and therefore overall diameter with the true profile. The offset is simply the factor by which the hub face is off centre of the wheel. So If you had offset 0 the Hubface would be bang in the centre line often wheel. So for example if you have positive offset the hub will sit further towards the outter rim, this in turn makes the outter face closer or further away from previous wheel depending on it's size. If you take the wheels width in mm, divide it by two and add or subtract your offset you will get a number that tells you where the outter face will be. There are calculators to do this online if you prefer. At stock height et22 in those widths is going to hang out a bit, but as the far gets lower the wheel is pulled into the arch. I believe a et22 rear in that width is quite popular. The front I'm not so sure. Funki is pretty good at the whole wheel fitment buisness so it's worth chatting with him. Alternatively the yanks are far better at getting wheels to sit right than us so directing the question to the guys at 300zxclub.com should yeild some pretty helpfull replies, there is Infact a running there there called will these wheels fit that might give you the answer without asking the question.

A small adjustable spanner should be enough. The battery terminals are 10mm can't remember what the tie down ones are as I don't have the stock battery clamp anymore.

Thank Christ for that! Now pull the plenum delete the dross and and change those crusty old turbo coolant pipes.

I done seen one in a museum.

New cars are heavy, a Panamera is around 1900kgs! Even a light car such the lotus evora is getting on to being the same curb weight as a z32. The early escorts for example weigh just over a 1000kg a focus which is supposedly fords current version is closer to 1500kg! Compared to an old honda, the z32 is a heavy beast however by modern standards it's a pretty average weight, esp for the hp.

Perfectly sensible move I think, no sense breaking it for the sake of impatience.

Arnt we a clever pair if dicks lol

I sourced a manual one for that reason

Yup there's a 10mm take off on the drivers side to hook up the clutch booster on a manual one.

So much better

Exactly, just better to catch a crack rather than find you have already snapped it while driving along as it's been broken for a while and finally gave up.

Is it a zeemax spoiler? Those 350 wheels look good

Try again lol

It isn't just me haha. For every missed zed pic I avoid 100 bellends, so it still works out ok.

Certainly sounds like it mate.

Just keep an eye on them, it's not guaranteed to happen. I check my front arms annually because there prone to failing there anyways, their old.

Well it sound like you had other issues which held you back. You should have seen much better numbers, 320 is what is expect with a generic chip and 14psi. Have a look into the sort if numbers Noel has been getting out of people's cars in near stock cars. Go through stuff like a boost leak test etc then maybe speak to Noel, I think you will see a big improvement.

330 on a custom tune? I'd be disappointed with that as well, who did it?

Not an issue, you can leave when ever you please.

My mates got 2 mk1s a mk4 r32 and his mrs a polo gti, bit fanatic that house hold. I've driven his mk1 and wasn't overly impressed with it, dreary fwd eurobox IMO and the r32 got beat by my other friends 1.8 swapped mk2 sirocco which I've raced in a stock auto zed with a dying torque converter and still beat it. We haven't had opportunity to race since, but I actually put the power to wheels now so its a pretty foregone conclusion, he is selling it for a transporter soon though.

that's about the best thing you can do to a golf I reckon, the engines are only held in with good luck to start with.
