Welded diff VS HICAS
That's a lovely idea. Great way to decide if you want HICAS or not there's only one problem. The main cause for concerns with it is it's broken. No amount of disabling it's hydrolics is going to fix the rice pudding that is supposed to be your hicas bushes. By all means delete it, I will be, just realise that the car has had 20+ years of stress on all those components. It's be tired after all those years lugging all that weight, Infact I am tired, I need a lye in someday.

Welded diff VS HICAS
Tbh mate it will be far more predictable and easier to control without bloody hicas.

Leather armrests where to find?
No worries. :D

Welded diff VS HICAS
As above, hicas isn't related to the diff. Unless it's faulty it shouldn't be operating out of a certain speed range. The vicious diff may well be your problem and therefore ways round that. I would recommend you speak to sy-gt and cowpatmatt, the later is a semi pro drifter who drives a z32. If there's cosiderations to be made he's likely done it.

Nissan Is Probably Cooking Up A New Turbo Z
I don't think we will get what you guys are expecting. The z33/34 both performance and budget wise are more like the s13/14 they're certainly not upto par quality and performance wise to what the z32 was 25 years ago. The z32 was equal to the r32, the z34 is no where near equal to the r35. The r35 really is an r34 z32 concept, coupe looks v6 platform 4wd and bags of power. So niether skyline nor zed hence why the skyline badge is dropped opting for simply GTR. I would expect the new z35 to cone with various options including a 4pot turbo. Don't go expecting a sleek 5-600hp super coupe :(

pop pop bang flame?
If you were using it as a drift car or other high rev applications, it would be better for engine longevity. Less chance of det. Many high performance modern cars are rev limited like this anyways, rather than the traditional fuel cut method. For most people esp the civic crowd it's for show. I do however like the idea of spitting flames during a full boost gear shift like a rally car or full blown race car.

pop pop bang flame?
Basically the rich mixture that comes out the exhaust, as obviously the no spark scenario causes this, explodes as it hits the heat of the exhaust. You will notice that black smoke cones with It, that's the rich mix showings It's not overly

Do alarm installers don't give a toss !
That's a fair shout as I've had to get hold of the cert when the PO didn't provide it. So there's nothing stopping you getting it's certificated.

Do alarm installers don't give a toss !
Just makes a nice chance to be giving it out, rather than receiving it haha. You are of corse correct though, I think it's because, let's face it there hardly professionals. Generally it's done at the same place they sell all the audio gear. Some mid twenties chav I twarks liek tat bruv. Generally.

Shot blasting before respray
There was a recent discussion on acid dipping on zclub. Various people including myself pointed out it can cause more problems than it solves. As gaz said soda blasting is good.

What do you think about the bumper?
Very subtle, I'm guessing the cause of the one intercooler vent fin was to follow the line? I've often thought about chopping those out, ice seen it done before and it has looked like well like it's been chopped out but your blends in better. Did you do it all yourself? Looks pretty well blended generally.

Speciality Z stock internals/turbos claim 499rwhp
As silver line says tuning an na is a fairly similar principal. It needs to breath, although with na's more attention needs to be put into how it breathes as it can alter the driving characteristics. Tbh with you though it's a waste. Tuning any na engine is often not very effective. To gain a 50% hike in power is going to mean a lot of hardwork and money. It is far cheaper to in plummet sone kind of forced induction.

cam cover area whirring noise
Really silly suggestion so forgive me, but this rubbing noise has scared me a few times. Fan shroud isn't rubbing on the fan is it?
