Usually if its hose related it goes away when warm the opposite of what your describing. Do you get large black zotty desposits? Or black smoke on boost?i

Need to sell my Z............
trouble is it looks like a beetle on roids, and everyone will think you have no taste. which if youve got one of them you obviously wont. theres loads of them round here, common as muck for a supercar.

r32 gtr brake calipers?
they allow a 296mm disc rather than a 280 odd that the z32 has as stock. not really worth it as said, the brembo ones off the r33/4 gtr are the next upgrade. popular other options include the z33/z34 calipers and discs(require redrilling of the mounting holes), brembo evo calipers with 350z discs(require a adapter) some have also used maserati calipers essentially anything bigger could be made to fit.

2fast2cool Upgraded SMICs any good?
hrm last time i ordered stuff from the us, albiet 5 years ago now things were a little more favourable i guess. i didnt even get stung on the tax. and i did spent a fair bit lol luck of the draw unfortunatly. i occasionally import stuff from hong kong never had to pay duty from there. but getting back on topic guess the only way to test them is to try them get the pre and post charge temps vs stock.

http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_22&products_id=71 admittedly the exchange rate isnt the 2$ to the pound it was a while back its still only $600 so after tax etc your probally looking at around £400 japspeeds price is £350. pretty close in comaprision the greddy or stillebn pretty close price wise.

Widest tyres on a z?
im no expert, there are those on here that will know far more on that subject however i would of thought if you have too much grip at the rear in comparison to the front you would get understeer. how much relivance that would have to your driving style i dont know.

seriously disheartened now and just wanna burn the car help!
right took it for a whiz this evening, MUCH better. Runs much smoother however there is white/bluish smoke on the over run. and occasionally if prolonged idling like behind a red light a puff of white might come out. the first pull on boost chucked out loads of crap. but the more i boosted the less there was. i think a leakdown test may be in order. and il try to get some videos of whats going on on here over the next week to help with diagnosis.
