Hi Guys, things have change and I'm no longer doing drifting. I strated my own company in France => Dijon Auto Racing I'm doing essentially chiptuning but can do pretty much everything the customer want on his car. I also have a dyno so that's help me finishing my Z32. The car is now running fine but I'm having trouble with my gearbox. I bought it brand new two year ago but I've drive less than 5000k miles with it. The problem is concerning the 4th gear. When I high rev the third, 4th won't engage... When I bought the brand new gearbox it was already because of this probleme. Anybody know what I should do? PS: My car is producing a little bit more than 550 HP at the rear wheels :blushing:

I have 2 AEM Wideband and 2 EGT, 1 per side. Everything was fine. AFR was around 11 on each side and EGT was around 850° on full boost.

can it be an injector problem?

yes but maybe it's because the job is not well done that my engine blow each year...

yes I did... I damaged a rod last winter (around september)... I changed the rods and now piston problem...

here is the problem:

update: I did a compression test on the 6 cylinders and the result is: 1- 10 2 - 10 3 - 7,5 4 - 9 5 - 9 6 - 0 So i pulled the engine. I don't know yet if it's the head or a piston problem. Tomorrow, I pulled the head of the block.

I have metalic head gasket.

no, dip stick stayed in place. Oil was coming from the exhaust maniflod and as there is smal leak on the exhaust, oil was blowing out from there.

Hello all, I'm not one of the more actif member but I need help. I was racing a 750 Gsxr when suddently my engine stifled and a hudge cloud of smoke follow. I was in 5th gear and 6000 Rpm. I then let the car go in neutral and bring it back home with a truck. I then restart the engine ini my garage and the smoke was coming directly from the engine and the exhaust. Considering the smoke from the exhaust I was thinking the driver (I'm french) side turbo was dead but I could not explain the smoke for the engine bay. Yesterday, I worked on the car and this is where the nightmare start. I jack up the car and there was oil all over the engine (driver side). This can explain the smoke coming from the engine bay (oil on the turbo and manifold). I imagine then that the oil leak would be udge and maybe go into the euxhaust, that could explain the smoke on the exhaust. So a friend started the car while I was underneath to locate the leak but whitout success. I decided to remove the exhaust to check the turbo. When I pull the exhaust, oil was flowing like when you do your oil change !!!!! The was oil every where, on all the exhaust pipe. I use a greddy TD05-16G turbo kit with external wastge gate and maniflod. Even the wastegate where full of oil. I so think it was the turbo damage. I pull of the turbo and he as no play at all and worth there is no oil at all on the admission side of the turbo. The intercooler hose are completly dry. Then, It can't be the turbo. I inspected the exhaust manifold and it was oily. At this time, I was thinking oil is coming from the engine. I pulled 2 spark plug on the driver side and they were full of oil. The other side was dry. I decided to pull the intake manifold and when I remove the balance pipe, I could see oil in the passenger side small hole. In fact there were like half a inch of oil sitting on the intake manifold. But no oil on the intake hose. I stopped at this point yesterday. I will take my compressions today but can this be a diagnostic of a dead piston? (I have Wiseco piston). I also have this PCV race upgrade: http://home.swipnet.se/e-solutions/StillenPCV.html I was wondering if the oil on the manifold coupld not have come from the PCV and then going onto the engine and the exhaust. I also have to mention that the car was starting normally and running. There were no strange noise at all. Any help from specialist will be welcome :)

;)Hi all, I'm doing a meeting this coming week end and guess what.... I ****ing lose my Carbon fiber nose panel. I removed it last time I want on the track and I never find it since... I guess I forgot it at the track... Any idea or any help to get one quickly? I need one that can be ship tomorow. I don't want a stock one, I need a vented one. Thank you for the help

I'm sorry, I just find this now :) Thank you all ;)

thank you Legrath ;)

hello all, I would like to try this on my Z: http://www.eastwoodco.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemType=PRODUCT&RS=1&itemID=6159&keyword=31158 Does anyone already tryed it before on a Z? thank you :)

I don't really know I stopped accelerating at the point the people are. It's around 1500m from the start and I'm at this point at around 270Km/h. I then have 700m to brake and turn, I burn the pads lol

http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/st-eph/video/x5se2f_vitesse-sur-piste-davion-ancienne-b_auto here is another video of the same day. Was hard to win against the M5 Hartge !!!

I took all the corner in drifting so was hard to come back ;)

Oh no he wasn't, he was on hollidays :headvswal:headvswal:headvswal he took 270 km/h :rolleyes:

oh no it's not for weight, It's just for good looking ;)

Thank you guys FYI i stop drifting, I'm tired of it :) I prefer to make some nice run like this one. I took 272 KM/H on this video. If you check well on the right, there is a speed detection machine :) Another video will come against a M5 V10 engine Hartge 567HP, wait and see :)

look this: http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/300zx%2Bbubuche/video/x5qr7v_reprise-300zx-kempower-rs4-mtm_auto Off course you are inboard my 300zx :hyper::hyper:

I want this panel in CF: http://www.zcentre.co.uk/shop/images/zc001g_lge.jpg Where can I find it please ?

don't go with the D2 suspension. The are very hard, and very poor quality. I already spend 600€ rebuilding only the rear one on my Z and that was a big mistake !!! They are shit. Go with Tein, maybe a little bit more expensive but really better than this D2 ;) Try this guy: http://www.streetrperformance.com/ Call him and see his price ;)

I have stock rods and stock piston available if you need :) I'm in need of a speed sensor :p

I'm very interesting in this. So what do you think of the Quaife? Did you installed also the leader gear?
