  1. CS you are a legend! thanks for you patience and excellent service to get these spacers at sort notice! It was also nice to meet you and your fiancee in flesh keep up the good work Before: i would have been baffled by this little guy if CS had not told me about it X4 corners done...sweet as a nut . After: Not the best pics in the world (mobile phone camera) but i am happy with the aesthetic changes. I did not feel any real changes in handling though the rear feels slightly alive that before or maybe i was leaning on it a little bit than usual with the new found torque i should expect a big difference after sportline springs and ARB's though

    MREV2

    Thanks to Sunset350z i got hold of this special item and i can't stop smiling The difference is huge in the mid range and there is a small induction growl now at WOT. i hope the ECU does not take this away from me, if not i will be fitting and refitting the MREV2 ever so often to unlearn the ECU . On a separate note i took the opportunity to fit spacers and also clean the TB which was full of grease/gunk from the atmosphere but mainly oil from the crank breather pipe. i can also say with confidence where all the oil consumption in the GT4 or revup engines go ...its all burnt up in smoke while some collects between the runners in the lower collector:headhurt: A catchcan is a must i think. To save me oil and hopefully the resulting cooler "uncontaminated" air should yeild more ponies See pics for differences 1-The GT4 (REVUP) runners are shorter hence less torque more top end power. 2-Where my oil goes to! catch can next on the list!! 3&4- Nissan'n attempt to remedy the poor airflow to the front cylinders by reprofilling the angle/height of the intake and more space for airflow between the runners. The MREV 2 which is just the standard lower collector that has been ported just like what motordyne did to improve the airflow to the front but retain torque charcteristics of the non revup engine Cleaning out the gunk from the TB and butterfly and inner surface of the plenum case white white spirit. No probs afterwards I will dyno the car with this setup before i put on the the CAI, angled plenum spacer, decat/HFC and true dual exhaust and see if there is any objective gain.
  3. Just want to get this off my chest My P3 service was due so i booked the car in for Tuesday or wednesday last week in Plymouth. Prior to this i had ordered some service items from both Envy and Opie oils whom i have both dealt with in the past. No problems with Envy who delivered on time on that occasion but i had had to make a cancellation with Opie when they failed to deliver on time in the past. However this time around 1 week after my order and several calls i never recieved my item from Envy! Finally on Thursday morning i called again and i was told my order might be lost in post No apologies given! With Opie i had sucessfully got most of what i needed beforehand but on Tuesday morning i had a chat with my garage and decided to change both diff and transmission oils. After a quick call to Opie and exchange of cash for guarantee next day delivery(09:00), i was hoping things would be Ok. The next day afternoon with my mood not helped by Envy, i was still expecting Opie's delivery especially as my car had been drained of all diff/transmission fluid Several calls later it was the same bullshit about the courrier had'nt picked up my items the night before and i would have to wait for friday No apologies given either. i could understand that Envy were doing some moving last week but i was particularly miffed when i was told that i should have specified that i need the item a week latter for my service to ensure timely arrival As for Opie, i had stressed my case and was confident my deadline would be met as they are base in Redruth which is less than 2 hours from Plymouth! They let themselves down and did themselves no favour when i was told in that on the website it said deliveries could be 1-2days when a simple apology would have sufficed! I am sure people have been let down by the "big boys" within this forum and i think is is time there is a place here to put down this experiences so that they can improve their service or customer relations/honesty. And when you think of all the little guys on the forum like CS, MB350Z , Adam (z-1) just to name a few who are always comming through even at a loss sometimes and are great contributors on this forum it makes you wonder . i know were to go next time End of
  4. On my GT4 i have measured; Front ARB 34mm Rear ARB 21mm It might seem like not much difference wrt the Eibach, but because they are adjustable unlike stock it can be setup stiff or stiffer to suit your suspension components or intended application and greatly enhance handling characteristics of your Zed. Great Kit CS

  9. Hey Darren, that was me I did see you in a flash Did you notice there was a GM 54 plate coupe in my tow for a few miles and i was wondering if it was someone on here we had our own mini-hoon which generated a lot of attention during the traffic jam. Also spotted Azure coupe at a roundabout on a B road between Swindon and the A419 to Cirencester.
  10. sorry for late reply, i've just been too busy at work:headhurt: pm sent.
  11. hey Steve, would a swap of the modified lower plenum/collector interest you? i can pop down someday on a weekend for the exchange and fit it together with my spacer to get max benefit what would you want for it?
  12. All is well that ends well Salut zedrush!
  13. Hi folks, i have posted this guide to help anyone fit this specific spoiler or familiarise themselves with what lies underneath the OEM GT boot spoiler. when i decided to install the nismo i asked for advice on the forum with very helpful inputs from more than a few members. i had planned to do it myself but decided to get help from my local bodyshop (who have always been very good and reasonably priced) as it appeared it was not entirely straightforward The main issues were: - firstly the fact that the spoiler had 4 bolts at the edges that fixed it to the boot while there are only 2 bolt holes pre-drilled with the GT spoiler which meant you had to drill 2 extra holes in the boot in addition to bonding-on the spoiler to ensure a secure fit - Secondly the pre-existing bolt holes where not inline with those of the spoiler so you may need to drill 4 new holes anyway and seal off the existing 2. - finally there was the issue of after taking off the GT spoiler (which is well bonded) likely meant you will end up needing a boot respray . i took this all on board and approached Darren(Bodyshop maestro) who was up for the challenge. Needless to say it all went well and i am happy with the result.
  14. CS do you know if their sping rates are same or different? i know they are both progressive

  18. Hey Adrian your car is schweet have u got the zorst on yet. It will be nice to see/hear in flesh. BTW has anyone used eibach sportline springs + spacers(2omm) with rays? This is my plan though i am beginning to think it might be too low or rub, looking at the pics of your car. CS to the rescue?
