This isn’t far from me, looks like a minter!

I think aviation is great! [emoji56] Electric vehicles are really not the way forward and I can’t understand why we haven’t yet seen further development of hydrogen powered cars?

Nice one Dave. What are you doing with the velour seats?

Any pics guys?

I’m not sure what the values are doing to be fair but the car Mike advertised for one of his customers on FB is up for £20k? Simon Lee is selling his at a reduced price due to a compression issue. Simon Parsons practically gave his Z away (in my opinion) which is probably why it sold very shortly after the ad went live.

Very interesting that you recommend these Dan, is this a personal recommendation or a view from Adrian Flux in general? The reason I ask is that all always makes me paranoid when I see that a company has dissolved fairly recently, especially when they offer lengthy warranties. If I was to stumble across this company without a recommendation, I’d probably avoid them for the following reasons. The blurb in the ‘about’ section states: “With the Internet now available to all and websites taking only minutes to build and pennies to host, it is often difficult to get a real picture of exactly who you are dealing with. Some companies claim to be the biggest and best, some the oldest and some even the actual manufacturer of the product you are looking to purchase.” They go on to state how the company was founded in 1998 but it has clearly been dissolved during that time and operates under a different trading name. I’m not suggesting any wrong doing, I’m sure there are many reasons why a company would do this but it was the part about who you’re dealing with and posing to be the manufacturer that put a nail in the coffin as this trader also operate under a website named cliffordalarm .co.uk!

Quite the opposite hopefully! [emoji13]

A casting vote?

I’m also going to take a rain cheque on this.

This was pretty much the same alarm fitted by dealers as an option?

1 step forward then turn around and leg it backwards! Keep at it Tony [emoji106]

Sigma S30. Nothing fancy but simple and reliable.

It would really depend on the style of the wheel you’re looking at fitting and what brake calipers you have. The et35 rears will fit just fine and I would suggest that most et32 wheels up front will also fit with stock brakes, however it will always depend on the wheel style. Aesthetically, I think it’ll look better with a 10-15mm hubcentric spacer up front anyway so it wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing. With 15mm bolt on spacers, you shouldn’t need to replace the studs but the 10mm hubcentric kit from H&R comes with the required studs (which are not difficult to replace).

Banzai breakers can supply you with one of these.

The original Z1 BA core dimensions were bob on if you ask me. They weren’t so tall that the top of the core barely saw any airflow in most applications and the indicator clusters didn’t need butchering, all they needed was to make the cores .5-1” thicker and utilise 2.5” inlet/outlet and that would’ve been a design worth developing/tuning for optimum airflows.

That I don’t believe there is much consideration for the optimum efficiency of the core flow properties anymore and the main focus is on a dimensions numbers game! I feel as though they all probably use the same standard core specification.

You’re right! There are so many on Alibaba that I didn’t want to scroll through and many of them don’t document the core size. The pair I was quoted for matched the core size of the Ashspec V2. My point remains though.

Yes, that’s the only box available from Nissan, fits straight on older models but has upgraded internals.

You’ve just given one below. The Ashspec massives are now on version 3, the Z1 BA have changed significantly, most if not all of the coolers in that test are no longer available. Maybe “superior” coolers was the wrong word but certainly the companies selling them will have you believe that. That just proves my point, they’ve taken the dimensions of the largest available cores and just made them bigger! Like many of the other big sellers, these companies have realised that Ash is too unreliable to sell his products and so it makes sense to develop their own and keep their stake in the market share. 99% of people buying these coolers are on a numbers game for the largest cores so if they made them a sensible size, they won’t sell as well. If they did some proper testing and comparisons, it would no doubt help them sell a few more but for the time and money to stage a reliable and accurate test like that, it just isn’t worth it. Of the 99% that just want the biggest available, only 15% of those will bother to read and digest the test results anyway! Take this intercoolers package for example: https://f2rq3.app.goo.gl?link=https://app.alibaba.com/dynamiclink?touchId%3D60699355558%26type%3Dproduct%26schema%3Denalibaba%253A%252F%252Fdetail%253Fid%253D60699355558%2526ck%253Dshare_detail%26ck%3Dshare_detail%26shareScene%3Dbuyer&apn=com.alibaba.intl.android.apps.poseidon&ibi=com.alibaba.sourcing&isi=503451073&amv=69 They’re £175 plus £95 shipping, 2.5” inlets/outlets and the same core dimensions as the massives. I have heard that the company producing the massives didn’t get paid after he switched manufacturers and that they produced their own version without the embossed logo. Either way, I wonder how well these perform in comparison the big brands, I wouldn’t be surprised if these particular components are all produced using the same core material!

I used that write up when I chose what intercoolers to go for, thus having Greddy. “I believe that GReddy's did the best on the outlet temperature tests because the car used during these tests had a stock fascia.” That write up is nearly 15 years out of date though and many more superior coolers are available. It would be interesting (and quite valuable data) to re run this test with the current available line up. I think that all these super, massive, cram it in and chop your indicators in half type intercoolers are overhyped and under designed! A sensible height with no mods required, utilising a deeper core, properly ducted and with 2.5” inlet/outlet is the way forward, the big names are just in dimension wars at the moment!

It would be great if you could make some how-to’s for these tasks as you go along. [emoji6]

Very nice, simply one of the best quality exhausts available.
