I don't care how fast it is, I wouldn't want to be seen on a scooter.

gurgling noise from fenders
You can simply bung the exhaust end and disconnect --and bung the vac lines. You don't have to dissemble. Get them gone honestly.

is it possible in 10 days
It would be a full time job.

trial fitted side skirts and rear bumper
I like it, good change. Just not a fan of the sticker and spoiler.

Search for robos 300zx page you will find a nice wright up on removal.

induction system
Selin translator is a bolt on solution. I think Noel is working on his own dual intake single maf type unit.

Yes and they can be drained. Easiest and best thing is to remove the entire sic assembly.

is rear camber ajustable on stock car ?
Quite possibly yeah. Is it stock ride height has it been lowered? If it hasn't I'd be surprised its that far out and boo looking for damage/worn components.

That shows your front right and left rear still arnt correct.
-

Well then the camber needs adjustment. Check your tension rods aswel.
-
is rear camber ajustable on stock car ?
Then you need to take the car along and have an alignment done buddy. Is it stock hieght or lowered?
-
is rear camber ajustable on stock car ?
Yes but not massively. There's an elliptical bolt/washer that controls the camber angle.

Above & Beyond
Is this the full fat engine back in, or the spare?

Boost leak testing method
Nope, because of where pushing from. The intake/ accordion pipes are directly linked to the cam cover with no such non return. 5psi is the recommended pressure as static pressure is different in any event to running conditions. Z1 pressure test at 10psi and blank that front breather to prevent the issue.
-
Boost leak testing method
You will also be applying pressure to the cam covers via breather system and the I spose the entire oil filled engine in the process though mark, which could potentially not be very good for cam seals and all those little bits and bobs, hence why they say 5psi, this should be enough to spot the leaks esp with the soapy water trick on board :D

I keep saying I want to go to ace café then not going lol.

is it safe to use dump valves or hybrid dump valves
That's why I had the sense to keep my stock recircs, I knew I'd get bored of dumps sooner or later. It hasn't happened yet though lol.

Got some cool Z books on my last trip to the US
I'd like a read of that second one, an in detail explanation ofvwhy they revived the z liniage after all those years with something so far behind the previous. It should have been closer to the quality and performance of the current skyline.
-
Boost leak testing method
I was always under the impression that you shouldn't pressure over 5psi mark as it can cause damage and that any leak even if its in the vacuum side is bad as a vac leak would allow in in metres air that could cause a lean mix
-
Boost leak testing method
As above be carefull not to put more than say 5psi through it aswel. Some soapy water does wonders to find the niggly ones.

Subframes
The lower arm is often the limiting factor in wheel width. Those are the same.
-
Subframes
There's no hicas so there's no need for a delete kit. It weighs less. The diff ratio is different theoretically giving you quicker acceptation but less top end, remember traction is a limiting factor here. Disadvantages, weaker drive shafts, higher rpm at a given speed, requirement to mess with the speedo to get the correct speed.

Lots of white smoke when revving engine
That's what fairy is for haha! But seriously that sucks.

Scrap em they're worth a few bob and use that to fund some decats.
