busy next few weekends after that shou;d be free for a day.

cheers mate. got my eye on a few sets of wheels these being one of them. i wonder if the 45 profile on them will cause issues. cant go splashing out on new tyres aswel esp when the ones on the set im looking at are nearly new

it will have to be tomorrow now but il go do it afterwork.

anyone got a set of the z33 rays alloys fitted, the fronts are 225 with an offset of +30 so should sit lovely. the rears are however are 245 with an offset of +33 how would that sit? only other thing im wondering is that at 18" with a profile of 45 will they not be slightly larger than the standard oem diameter? and cause speedo issues etc?

you mean the resivoir feed, tahst about 22mm i think. if your really desperate to know exactly il get the vernier out on the hose i have left.

just cut it in half, top and bottom and weld it back togther the opposite way round. as said you will have to modify the pick up tube and extend the oil feeds. simples, lol (he says)

i think they are 12mm, its the next size up from standard oil hose. thats what i used anyways

i know where thers another set of hands for that project stop being lazy. im sure theres a few of u sthat would be up for that one.

didnt like it, just felt like one big long trailer to something that never happened. was nice to see flatland bmx getting some exposure, and i do have to say that that trails rider was over rated, yeh he might be the best trails rider in the world but he wasnt doing anything that bmxers havent been doing for years.

let me know how how you get on i heard there can be clearance issues which mean you have to move the intercooler pipes to get the thing in.

ive received mine, seems good quality, havent got round to fitting it yet biut once i do il a full reveiw on it.

you will have to forfill a minium air volume to be moved for effective cooling. in reality its generally excepted that keeping the viscous fan is the more effective way forward.

japspeed may still be doing theres at the lower price can but ask.

yeh feul hoses on the plenum, as said. or the fpr. can perish, however leaky hoses tend to crop up in winter.....

yummmmmmm

there where z31s produced with this from factory....apprantly.... but yeh as said anything is possible.

they are generally foirmed the same as teh side mounts its just they are welded together in one unit. check out czp and zed1 for some ideas.

pretty sure this is out of date again, bob has hit over 660 bhp now and martin is on aroung 700? with plently more to give, and i believe silver bullet is also hitting over the 500 mark now. correct me if im wrong guys

agreed i think you will suffer there with the air flow to your intercoolers, not for me im afraid. if you converted to a fmic then thats the only way to do it properly i think.

have a look at the side mount intercoolers from zed1 that where recently discussed on here arc i think where the brand, they where around £400. less than half the price of its copetitors and good quality. if you go for a fmic the cheap ones are very much that and offer little gain on stock, im sure jimmer reveiwed these. also bear in mind that the thing is in the way of your radiator and induction, causing those in turn to recieve less cool air. nissan designed these cars with smic's for a reason. i know its not ideal but if your on a budjet mate it may pay dividens to put the zed aside over winter do what needs to be done over tghe corse of winter save some cash and spread the outlay. you wont wanna drive it much come january febuary. driving a zed in shite weather isnt fun. poor headlights wide tires and slippery salty yuck potholey roads dont agree with our pedigree mistresses. (as i side note im sure you alreday know, its just the way its written. there is no point in the ebc without the chip, the chip is required to enrich the feul map when increasing boost, failure to match the feul curve with the boost will result in running lean, and that in turn will melt pistons etc, but im sure you know that already, just thought id say just incase.)

probally be a good route to upgrade them if your engine will cope, easier tyo do them now while your there then later and have to take it all apart again.

im 24 nearly 25 few weeks away. 3 point 3 years no claims one small bump 5 years ago due to come off at xmas and im paying 800 fully comp with teh abilty to drive other cars(i need this cos i borrow my mrs car etc, or we share long jounerys. shes only 20 so adding me to her policy just whacks it up even more.) that was with adrain flux, im paying pretty much teh same as i was paying 2 years ago when i brought the damn thing even with the added no claims...... few years mate we will get half decent insurance they just hate us youngens or love what ever way you look at it.

replacement box cant be too expensive. esp if you can raid one of an N/A. just swap it out for a better working one till you get round to refurb yours, if you do decide to

'its a show car its supposed to be different and grabbing' as they say. but er nah its gross and completly impractical.

thats fine mate, that is actually easier for me because of work. im only down the road from you in ringwood/bournemouth so just drop me a pm if you need a hand, when the time comes.
