Selin hose group buy
Hi Joel, I used this as reference https://www.z1motorsports.com/air-intakes/z1-motorsports/300zx-dual-intake-package-p-5215.html I did not find your kit through the search function, so this one is $300 on top of the base selin price for what I could suss an extra air filter, the brackets and hoses, and a used MAF. The MAF here must be what was causing the brunt of the price increase so perhaps not a fair comparison. I am using the selin ones for reference: Which look to be about a 70 degree angle, but before I place the order I will go in the engine bay and measure the angle for the two MAFs to sit straight next to each other. The MAF side is 80mm and intercooler is 65mm so the hose will be a snug fit. Base price of the two pipes are £12, and there is another £47 charge on top for a custom mould (so I better make my measurements correct!) with postage of ~£35. Local UK postage is £2.79 on top per person. So with my maths for 10 people it comes out to £22.99 for the pair of hoses delivered to your door. I will then need to fabricate the aluminium brackets so the MAFs are rigid, which I am charging a price of around £7 as I have to buy materials and spend a few hours cutting each one out, though this bracket is optional. The silicone is 3ply @ 4.5mm but I can opt for 4ply @ 5mm or more if you think it would be better. I can see the selin and Z1 ones are 4 ply. Let me know what you think guys or if you have any questions.

Selin hose group buy
Couldn't find anything specific as it is 80mm MAF side, 65mm intercooler pipe side. Ash only does 80mm to 70mm from what I found, so would not be a snug fit but might be alright. About double the price though and we have many more colour options :) Though correct me if wrong.

Selin hose group buy
Sorry for the confusion they are't selin bought hoses, they are chinese sourced to fit a selin conversion. It has a different inlet and outlet so I couldn't find any for a reasonable price in the UK so having some custom made for a good price.

Selin hose group buy
I am starting a group buy as it may help some people looking to go selin in the future. The main part of this group buy will be for the two 90° silicone hoses to connect the MAFs to the intercooler pipes seen here: You can buy these pipes from Z1 as part of a kit however the price is about $300 over the standard selin, which I think is an unreasonable premium. Cost of a pair of pipes custom made for us, is £12, and can be done in a variety of colours. Postage for a single item is £28, so the group buy can lower overall cost including shipping estimate as below: 1 person: £40 5 people: £21.79 10 people: £19 Price continues to reduce for every participant so every member appreciated Colours can be Blue/red/black/purple/yellow/orange/white/pink/green etc. Also I am thinking about making the support bracket between them which the selin bolts to and add some rigidity to the free-hanging MAFs (seen in picture above). This will be made from 3mm aluminium. This will be made by me in July so there will be a wait time if you are prepared to wait for this. 1 person £10 5 people: £7 There are also other Z32 hoses that can be purchased (as part of this) but individual inquiry will be required as I don't know what is currently manufactured by them. This group buy is courtecy of Yuehua Lau on facebook and an just doing this for our benefit. Let me know if you have any questions or requests, I just think the Z1 ones are a bit too rich. :) Ali

Do you want to make a veilside replica or just create a nice 300zx? Side mounts 90% of the time are the best choice.

Which Clutch
That looks like basically an oem clutch, if an oem clutch suited you well than this might do but I tend to future proof if you have plans in the future. Your choice :)
-
Which Clutch
The one which doesn't say tt is for the na, and it's your choice for the stage 2 or 3 depending on your power. The stage 3 won't be as nice to drive but can hold more power, if you want a smooth clutch with higher power you will have to go for a more expensive one such as rps which have stock like feel, and some of them hold up to 700hp
