Retro620ti

got my question answered...lol

sorry cant agree about the khumo ecstas as the ones i had on the front were nowhere as grippy as the falkens

ok let me try here You have a sharp ( spearpoint...good eh ) sound coming from your engine and power is down and you have low oil pressure after removing the wastegate solenoid pipe I would go for you still have a broken piston in there...do a compression test COMPRESSION TEST.

carry a repeating shotgun ...should pop and bang easy enough

you dont want to much pops and bangs, fit bovs and you might get one or two when you lift off boost and the bovs dump and its still fueling for the dumpes airmass

heres where the fun starts Do not use a speedo converter to unlimit the car, do the resistor mod ( I used the converter box and the gear changes went a bit so did the resistor mod and its right as rain, once resistor mod is done you are best having a aftermarket chip fitted to remove the limit and pop the redline up to 7200rpm ( i can recomment andy P as he did mine ) The oil thing has been covered I paid 440 for a full belt change and water pump replacement Welcome to the Z

I have decided to post simply because this latest set of tyres I have fitted are superb. The story so far Bought the car and realised the rubber fitted to it had reached its last legs ( bare metal showing through ), worried about wether the camber was right due to undue wear on the inners of the tyres I decided to try budgets to see if I had a problem. I went for the nankang ns2 rear and khumo front, this was ok but no great shakes, when these were gone I tried the Avon ZZ3 all round set up and found them only as good as the nankangs and khumos so not worth the extra pennies.On the advice of a friend I then tried the Pilot sports and found these to be very good tyres indeed but couldnt really justify the extra cash per tyre change and asking the missus to go stand on corners and look inviting just wasnt cutting it in the tyre situation, finally to the last set , these tyres have been fitted with new 18" alloys but the performance in the wet has so far been better than the pilot sports and all for a budget price as well.......the tyres I speak of are Falken 452's and would recomend them to anyone, cant fault em...Take a bow falken

no worries mate its gonna be juneish before im ready for susp mods

does sitting the eibachs on the kyb adjustables sit at the same lvl as the stock shocks? as was thinking about the kyb and eibach set up next

the lwb have longer rear facing arms

just cut the single red/yellow wire coming from the brake light control box in the boot to stop the brake warning lamp working in the car

just fitted the wheels with 265 35 18 on the rear on a 9.5" rim, it is right at the edge of the cars profile but not going past the body line

its in march, no deffinite dates released yet

as said there is a black box near the os light, think its called the rear light controller and is for when bulbs blow it lets you know

cheers legrath , that hits the spot mate , was thinking 265 might be too wide but as they are only 2 quid more expensive than the 255's was gonna get the 265's

yeah i was gonna do that but was still worried about the width change the 255's are cheaper than the 245's on falken at the moment on the 452's thx guys

anyone got 255 width rear tyres fitted to 18" rims , if so are there any arch clearance issues Thx

Happy Xmas folks Im away for a few days now and will see ya after xmas so take care and drive safe Kev

that is stunning , well done to da fox for that motor, congrats on a nice buy here is a link that i have found TOTALLY INDISPENSIBLE since i bought my Z http://www.aus300zx.com/tech/

people see this car and love to see how close to a real supercar their saxo is, ignore it, use reasons not to plant it , I now no longer race if I dont think it will serve any purpose, i.e teaching a beemer driver they arnt god etc As said before do not be tempted to race in the winter...its not fun pooing yourself on every bend, treat the power with respect After tuning mods you have another reason not to plant it all the time...8gallons per mile on full chat HEHE

why not arrange a meet around the run what ya brung day at portreath in spring

take a gander at the tweel...looks interesting
