N/A vs TT ps pulley
i believe you nee dto change the mounting bracket, this will then pull the pulley in further and it will line up. or you can simply tak ethe tt pump apart and remove the fins from teh rear section and put some blanks into the outlet as this would have fed your hicas. easy peasey. hardest bit is getting the damn pump back in the bracket. theres an exploded view in the service manual if your unsure what im talking about.

New V5 came through today, and the DVLA are so wrong.
put some pics up and look at the chassis plate it quite simple to tell your date of manufacture. if your worried about cut and shut then start checking over the internal pannels. i doubt it is though more than likly the dvla or importer have cacked up many ember have zeds listed as nissan gt or nissan pimera.

Part worn tyre advice
im in the process of getting a refund, ebay stipules Used: A tyre that has been previously used, but remains in good working condition with sufficient tread remaining to comply with the seller’s local legal requirements for on-road use (if applicable). See the seller’s listing for full details so essentailly theyre not road legal so theyre not within the description. and they were advertised as 35 and theyre 40s anyways i dunno wghat the outcome will be but i spose in reality he hasnt got much to stand on theyre not as listed are they lol. ive emailed him back and tried to be resonable.

Oil Cooler advice
dont see why not howeer you would be better off time and finaces depending. yoyu can convert to full flow witha thermostatic valve. ive been doing quite a bit of looking about recntly and essentially our oil system is only partially cooled. it comes off the oil tree then through the cooler back to the sump, many of the yanks are using full flow allowing better circulation through the block and more effiocent cooling. have a look at the z1 site ay there oil cooler kits.
-
I've been painting all day, what do you think so far?
external cooler is old skool lol. another couple of coats she will be a goodun. you using a compressor or rattle cans? still is gonna be a track car isnt it? if so i think you need something seriously lairy to balance out like glossy dayglow green alloys or decals.... lol

-
i know its been done to death but should i decat?
im just worried about turbo seal failure.
-
i know its been done to death but should i decat?
i dont know what state the turbos are in, but they dont smoke presently. i have had a set of japspeed decats in my shed for a while now, but just the front decat not the downpipes from the turbos. so two questions first can i use these are or they for an n/a? second shouldi use them or am i asking for trouble, i think the cats are a bit restrictive at prestent. so whats the vote? i dont wanna have to recon the tubs as im on a budjet and it would be a pain in the ass pulling the block.
