Just get unniversal gaskets from ebay you need : 2 x 2.5" 2 holes gaskets for the cats/decats to y-pipe and 3x3" 2holes gasket for the center pipe and 2 end canister sections. Just lie the K-1 i change them about twice a year as they all perish and leak. OEm gaskets and metal but they are 2.5" only max.

I'm not so sure Will if i'll make this April trip as i got so much to fit and not enough time and some stuff has still not arrived Got to fit -Race seats after modifying standrd seat rails - race steering wheel and wheel boss - Oil cooler kit and oil pan - Subframe and diff bushes - Full fluid service, - front tyres - Front rotors and pads - ? Invidia or millitek exhaust - ???half cage - Dual oil catch cans ETC ETC But i mat just say to hell and go without these and sort it after i come back but i feel unconfortable after last years near miss. The thing is if i stay then i have full fund left to sort the SC by end or April but if i go then it will be till May that my wallet will have recovered for such nonsense Anyway it will be nice to see those of yuu that are going if i'm there its 5-10th April. Will be at the Ringhaus hotel as usual if its reopenned after water damgae during the winter

Finally some positive developments It should hit +450WHP easy when its all firing on all cylinders and NOS/Meth It must be some bodged workmanship from Buster thats come to the fore and will be sorted in no time

Congratulations Stewy

Nice one Docwra I have solid mounts waiting to be fitted but have a stillen engine dampner on the car at present also with urethane transmission mounts and it did wonders for the often vague, difficult and imprecise OEM ger change especially under high engine load so i can relate to this. I have been wary of how much NVH the solid mounts will add but with all my suspension bushes urethane and soon to swap my diff and subframe bushes i guess i can't make it any worse In anycase it will be nice if you can add a guide how you fitted this puppies. i may try to DIY as i have afew things to do under the car soon. And if i don't like the solids might give this a go

Nope its permanent only on <2004 cars. There is a pressure sensor on the passenger seat which deactivates the airbag if the weight is less than adult. I cant remember exactly what it is but off the top of my mine i think its 50Kg( so it means a very petite chikita will not activate the passenger airbag Will check and see the full thread onmy 350z or the FSM as it should be covered there

Chin up man its only a small set back This car will be up and running soon and all will be forgotten Looking forwards to the dyno run and numbers

Never bother checking brakes temps as i have no fade or boiled the fluids so presume its doing what it should within operating temps. On the other hand i check tyre temps and pressure like a hawk and since using nitogen inflation the paranoia has died down because after repeated checks i found the pressure/temp persistently stable and predictable. I would recommend nitrogen tyre inflation to anyone(DD or Track toy) and at £4 a pop its a no brainer

Upper plenum SOLD @Asad, there are very 2 or so chips on the bonnet but a few scuffs and scratches from poor storage but these are not deep through the lacquer and should buff out easily. The bonnet has been of tthe car for sometime and moreso it 1 year younger than yours You Can come up to worcester to see it for yourself before you part with your hard-earned £ or take my word for it and arrange pick up. If i have time on the weekend after doing my own bits i will give it a buff with t cut and see what she turns up like.

Feel your pain Gav but that's what you get for trying to swap the zed for a hairdresser's TT You've been awfully quiet mate! What have you been up to? Do you even drive that zed Hold out for 5.5k atleast and goodluck with the P/X or sale I am keeping mine and driving it into the track Will give you a bell if I'm up the black country.

Thanks Chris. Confirms the DIY from my350z.com I am going to use. Off to Maplin on Saturday

Any sound clips and pics of it on the car? Very interested as I need to get rid of the K1 Want a motordyne complete system but can use this in the interim

Chris words fail me to describe you ingenuity. Penning a date at the shed before long. Did the ghetto airbag resistors mod work? No airbag warning light! Need to do this when I fit my cobras. What about the passenger seat pressure sensor? Did you come up with a way to fool it too! I have read what resistors to use from the states guys but what did you use? I value your expertise. Since you beat me to the shine bumper are you selling the OEM bumper from project zebra? What a spare to cut holes for my cooler and brake intake mod and fab a custom APR type splitter to use only on track days Cheers

SOLD!!! Bulbs and Spacer Sale Pending on one MREV2. Can't believe its taken this while. Its a shame the spacer and MREV2 are not going to the same person as this makes gains and way cheaper than all the mods we spend hard earns on for little gains. Whether these are original MREV2 or replicas i can say because the MREV2 is the OEM lower non revup plenum than has ben modified by motordyne after flow analysis. All i can say is i have had in total 3 MREV2s now. All purchased from the states used from different owners and they all look the same. I tuned the car with two and it delivered. first time without spacer and second with. My baseline was 240whp and up to 260whp with the MREV2 and 270whp with spacer. Other mods where K1 exhaust with Y-pipe, and HKS filter. There was no difference with the AEM CAI and OEM airbox with HKS filter between dyno tests so i sold it promptly for the bling crowd My car is tuned with UTEC I promptly sold the Berks after so much rash and only 4whp to so for and went with Decats loud but when tuned makes power. My final dyno when i had done and tested all combos of mods was 284whp. So the first i sold 2+ years ago to a member here(Introspect) and it made power/torque after reflash with Uprev I repurchased replacement as soon as i had funds and thats whats been on my car until i removed now to instal my kinetix SSV. The third one i bought together with the kinetix to offset the shipping and custom costs but in retrospect i would'nt have bothered as its taking much time to sell despite numerous pm's of interest I am just recouping my purchase cost now which is why i have priced to sell. Hoped to get more. Many pips in the US have copied it just like Abbey has done(its not a secret what they do its all visible to see!)and sells then for similar as motordyne prices when he can get his hands on these OEM plenums as they are rare to come by. Wasso(Ian) has one of such modified plenums from Abbey and it made gains. So go figure what is original or replica i can say. But the facts speak for themselves. ITs been proven time and time again what works or not for N/A on our cars -Non revup OEM airbox + filter Plenum spacer Decats or HFC Y-pipe and a tune: Uprev, Standalone ECU, piggyback ECU etc Revup OEM airbox + filter Plenum spacer MREV2 or modified plenum like it Decats or HFC Y-pipe and a tune: Uprev, Standalone ECU, piggyback ECU etc HR Decats/HFC y-pipe And a tune All other stuff, full exhaust system, grounding kits, CAI, voltage stabiliser or amplifiers, pulleys make little or no power but rather optimise function, pleasure or both and should beconsidered after the above. So i hope i have answered the questions and pm querries

Turned out really nice Dave! Could you piece together a parts list and where to get all that's required to do this?. Want to give it a go

Yup factory or any other bar will clear. I am powdercoating with my wheels at the sametime hence not installed now. Will be glad to help with guidance as the manual is pants. One more feature about the Kinetix is the coolant bypass from the TB (to prevent TB butterfly valve freezing). This is unnecessary in the UK as we dont see extreme and long winters so it just increase your IATs for nothing loosing a few ponies here and there. Always wanted to buy the motordyne CCV to bypass the coolant and no need for that now

Happy b-day chap Hope you and Rosie have a great day!

Very nice numbers for NA tune Neil Standalone ECU gives you more freedom to optimise every aspect of a tune. UTEC, Unichip and other piggyback or reflashes like Uprev or Technosquare are all very good but just overidding the OEM ECU parameters so are limited ultimately but if you look at the cost difference both routes are good,so far as your tuner can make the most of it and what your budget limitation is. Neil, I really love that cage even more now turned out real nice but as pointed you forgot the harnes bar Waiting for the NOS tune and dynoes

Nice idea or simpler with an rpm dependent exhaust valve. There and simple to install plug and plays kits I have seen in the past. It should be easy to debling polished hardpipes. I favour blasting then primer and powdercoat for a chip free solution. The intercooler will require special thin thermal dispersant paint like with black OEM radiators.

Wow!! The car looks clean and that paint is amazing Will I love the rear end "is my butt big in this" shot Screen saved I definately have to come down to Surrey to see her in flesh and erhmmmmmm......... Take her out for a spin That number plate would be icing on the cake. Come on Will you know you want to. This plus an invidia Gemini exhaust, Berks HFCs and Uprev are a match made in heaven. Call it investments and you will feel better
