LWB auto NA... no wonder it's been driven so infrequently... :(

300zx on Ebay
I just want to text him explaining that there's no such thing as a proper Nismo Z32 and that his "friend's" car's been inspected and found to be an utter dog!!

Series 2 PTU harness
Just buy this and hardwire it in - job jobbed! :)

New kid on the block!
Anything above stock boost should ideally have a remap to ensure the fuelling is where it needs to be. Yes, plenty of people run higher boost without touching the ECU, but the OP specifically asked what PSI the turbos can run, not whether the injectors or the management could handle it :)

Really, increasing the boost from stock level safely should involve a remap - it's not limited to injector size by any means.

Series 2 PTU harness
Ian Greenfield might have a spare harness (possibly PTU as well)... I'm sure he had one for sale not long ago...

Where's Vodkashots...?
I've been meaning to ask this for a while. Where's he gone? He's no longer listed as a Mod and seems to have just... vanished...!

Standard Blue or Pearl Blue??
I may well be in the minority here, but I'm not a fan of black engine bays on non-black cars. Yes, it helps to hide all the wiring and stuff, but it just looks wrong in my opinion unless the exterior is black as well. As much as I like FunkySi's Zed and as incredibly impressive as it is in the flesh, I personally feel that the black engine bay detracts slightly from the rest of the car. I understand why he did it: I didn't change my body colour to white when I had the chance for the exact same reason. To my mind, the under-bonnet is just as important as things like the doorshuts - they should all match the exterior colour :) [/my2cents]

Rustproofing and waxoiling underneath,
I have to do this to my Zed this winter so this info is good! :thumbup1:

Thanks guys :) Looking forward to stepping away from this bloody diet for an evening and tucking into half a cow tonight! :lol: :thumbup1:

Exterior restore
I replaced all of these earlier this year and it cost a pretty penny to do so!! That said, the difference that new trims and scuttle panels make is staggering - truly, the little things make a big difference :)

Happy Birthday Mondo

Re bushing and NA rear mod
Tell me more about the collars please. Pros and cons. I've had a nose around the Net and, as always, there are differing opinions on using them...

"You picked a fine time to leave me, Loose Wheel!" - Mondo's new Zed.
All my new seals, pistons and clips were delivered this afternoon for my brake caliper rebuild :D

Re bushing and NA rear mod
So no subframe bushes then? :( I take that to mean that anyone refurbing a subframe has no option but to use polybushes of some description... unless the OEM bushes are still available...?

Re bushing and NA rear mod
So are Nismo bushes still available for the rear subframe then?

OEM Brake Calipers, full set (cast iron), for refurbishment
I have a full set of Z32 Sumitomo calipers for sale. I bought these last year with the intention of completely refurbing them, but my plans have changed a little so they're now up for sale. These are cast iron TT calipers and, as can be seen from the pictures, they need a complete overhaul. None of the pistons appear to move freely and the caliper bodies are in dire need of complete cleaning. All the pins, guides, bleed nipples etc are included. Everything you see in the pictures, basically. There is life left in the pads as well, especially the rear ones. :) Looking for £70 including delivery (this box is extremely heavy!).
