Chips and Remapping
I tried different things with a standard engine and the best results was fitting EBC Control, High Flow Pod air filter, a high flow cat back dual exhaust system, NISTune ECU, The results on 98ron was 320 RWHP @ 6200RPM - 436lbs/ft. Torque @ 3400 RPM @ 13 PSI Boost. Using standard injectors and if the engine is in good condition it is not a lot of work to do for this result.

Viscous to electric fan
In Australia doing away with the viscous setup is a no,no. Fitting a extra electric fan does not keep the engine temp under control ,becomes a head gasket destroyer on twin turbos.

Spa-Francorchamps trackday - any 300ZX issues?
This was a problem at Warrick Farm Circiut at Polo corner in Australia with V-8 HO Falcons ect, the oil use too surge up into the cylinder bank and knock the top of a the pistons [ Oil caused a hydruilic lock in the cylinder bank ] not the big end bearing locking up through lack of oil pressure. A good sump baffle use to fix the problem, only happened to Vee engines.Warrick Farm car race circuit closed down now.

Series 4 clocks and Series 1 car...
The S1.TT. Cluster is differant to the S2.TT. Cluster in that the plugs & sockets on the back are differant and the flex printed circuit has differant amount of connection pins. The S1.TT. & the S2.TT. speedo clock are the same so you can take the speedo clock out of a S1.TT. Cluster and fit it into a S2.TT. Cluster or vice verser.I have done this myself to get a cluster working.
