  1. NICE SYSTEM. <<< ? Don't think you should post up dirty photos like that! Never been to happy to see that jerk on the end pipe before it goes into the collector and then not sure why there are two endpipes out of it either... burn it.
  2. Bump: Is it a skyline 300 you got or a 350Z GT spec? (ST) 10C + is mental... I suposse the airflow from open road would help some but 10C!
  3. some agression in this thread... speak to them camly first, do the horse tranc thing failure on that you've got the route there in the threads: insurance company to see what they say and take it from there. FYI this thread where I had a similar experience: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=28661&p=417415&hilit=dentman.ie#p417415
  4. The first guy didn't seem to upset... though some mental damage to his car!
  5. if you got a machine that can cut it out I see no reason it would be easy to do so program the machine and put the sheet in and hit the green button Not sure how many people would be interested in getting one. You'd need to get some solid numbers and timelines up I'd say and what would be included in this group buy (which it would result in and you need to then follow the guidelines for the GB). 100£ you can't really go wrong. Even if you take a leap of faith and put in 1k into it yourself and sell them over time, sure there would be interest to buy! Best of luck with it. A
  6. +1 on below carb brake cleaner... easy clean To clean you could try gunk or any of the other engine bay cleaners, but dont do it on a hot exhaust!! Also carb or brake cleaner will bring it back up again.
  7. is it not stainless?

    exhaust

    For what car
  9. Is it a skyline 300 you got or a 350Z GT spec? (ST) If its is it sounds about right with the pulls you got: Maximum power (JIS) 263.6 PS (260.0 bhp) (193.9 kW) @ 6400 rpm Specific output 87 bhp/litre 1.43 bhp/cu in Maximum torque (JIS) 324.0 Nm (239 ft·lb) (33 kgm) @ 4800 rpm bmep 1363.1 kPa (197.7 psi) Specific torque 108.47 Nm/litre need a bit more info I'm afraid and a dyno sheet. Heatsoaking should not be the case really since they 'should' (would be nice) that the had a massive fan in front of the dyno to keep the engine cool. Again you'd see the heat soaking on the dyno sheet. I'm for 1 very confused
  10. another thread...
  11. That does sound like the way to go after you've got a horse tranquilizer in you to keep you cool. It's a normal occurance over here that people dont give a rats about their cars or other ones and do things like that.
  12. Well the lads in the know say you need at least 5 pulls with a Z to see proper readings. So it was a flywheel type dyno. Sounds like it was done in 3rd. It does 180km/h in 4th. The plugs wont help you unless its missfiring, post up some dyno sheets. Did you have an uprev done? Otherwise we are slightly off topic and maybe you should post the dyno result here: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=24431 And talk about it in here: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=26040
  13. Welcome, be safe
  14. Did he leave the wheels Did he leave the wheels on the car or did he takethem off? That does not sound right. Since yours is restricted the highest gear he could do t in would have been 4th. I'd take that to another place. Do you have the dyno printout? What was his comments on it? Is she runningright?
  15. I'd hope they are hub numbers, 265 on hub is pretty good N/A I'd wanted to have seen a bit more> I'd advice to get a plenum spacer on that car and then go to abbey for a retune even with the throttle response and the limiter gone it will feel much nicer to drive! Is that exhaust a full system or ?
  16. looks to me that motordynoe are still using the black type gaskets on their kits. this kit has some more goodies in it though then just the spacer.
  17. You need one gasket on each side so OEM gasket stays and sits between lower plenum and plenum spacer underside and then on the top you need a gasket between the plenum spacer and the upper plenum chamber. If you look on motordyne website I think you can buy a full set of toys for 45$? Anyway some manufactors actually dont use the inside 6 bolts and cover the wholes up instead of using the nylon spacers (these dont cost much either way). Depending on how much you need to spend on manufacture of the part itself and all the bits I think you'll do good to get away under 100£ It all depends on how much you need to pay someone to create this for you and also if you can get away with not using a gasket (using gasket on tube or similar product instead might be ok?) A
  18. The minute amount of dirt build up will not cause a problem, plus you can potentially do more harm than good by taking the throttle body apart. If you are getting a large amount of dirt build up then your air filter is not filtering properly or your engine internals (valves and valve guides, or pistons and rings) are worn. mmm not sure but think the Z throws back quite a lot of oil after hefty revving (inspired driving) Installed an Oil catch can a while back to catch anything going into the plenum chamber itself. Looking at getting one for the intake side also since my Z seem to suffer a bit from this. Did a compression test and got 12.5 on all cylinders bar one that shown 12...so all good there. The filter is cleaning as it should so not worried there.
  19. not sure what mine was made off, I'd say you could easily copy one type of spacer. The one I had was same width the whole way around. Oh here it is: 10mm thick, waterjet cut from single aluminum plate. << Then you need another gasket for the plenum spacer and also a gasket for the internal and some nylon spacers and bolts and if you want to reuse the normal strut bar you would need spacers for them too. Sure a quick google will give you all the stuff you need. Best of luch with it!
  20. You Are wrong about cleaning the tb, they get dirty
  21. Well worth it in my opinion even if you don't track the car the price mentioned is for a uprev tune and dyno and not justto get 100% throttle response
