turbos after decats
Its all to do with seal wear and breather condition. The backpressure from the cats masks the overpressure created in the sump by crap breathers.

Tyred of these questions but
225 is the stock jspec width all round, uks have wider 245 rears. it would be well worth checking all the alignment before you get carried away, mine was way off orginally. Put the stock wheels on and realigned it all and what a difference.

lowering springs
I've had bilstiens on my car for the last year or so, the front set are about 30 odd mm lower than stock and im not quite sure about the rear its definatly lower than stock. the ride is pretty good not too hard and surprisingly its actually easier to get over the humps, I think because it rolls about less. anyways in the ideal world id like to upgrade to adjustable coilovers, however cash isn't overly flowing atm due to other comitments. so ive been exploring different avenues other than forking out £500 for coilovers. ive thought about second hand coilover units using s13/r32 but tbh that isn't anywhere near cheap enough to make it worth the secondhand risk etc etc. So companies such as whiteline produce lowering springs in pairs, with drops from 15-45mm here the confusing bit...without knowing the current drop how can I figure out how much id like to drop it, id like another 15mm I would of thought. so that's the main question what size spring do I need? bare in mind im not talking about cut down springs, im talking about springs manufactured at a lower rideheight.

hello three 330zx'z already
pretty much yeah, the box internals are the same. its just the driveplates, ie flex plate or flywheel and the bell housing that vary. also the speed sensors are different.

Smoking from middle of car and oil patch
that's because people use the end of their rachet to try and do it instead of buying the correct sized sump plug bit. Halfords do a little set of them for cheapish, may be easier with the right tool.

New pictures to cheer you up
you could easy squeeze a 255 or stretch a 235 on there bud. and yeah sambo I mean the actual shock. I think they just don't rebound or hold properly. they are probably 20+ years old.
