The vultures are out in full effect lol. Trying to work if I need anything.

A long long time ago I used to film a lot of drifting and even worked for Option japan in the UK and over at Sazuka; epic times indeed. Anyhow, I did the pilgrimage in 2006 but a few years later a friend of mine who is a film maker went out with Driftworks. This is how the story unfolds.

lol if you ever read the daily mail, it'll advise you to keep this 'worst snow in a million years this winter'.

Could be interested in the piping. I need to check what I've already got with my engine though. This won't be until Saturday at the earliest. Understand if the pipes get sold by then.

Blimey, didn't notice the OP posting date. lol Have PM'd, was expecting a call 2 days ago. Radio silence...

Hi Ace, Any further news? thanks

Hey tell me what you've got and I'll discuss business with you. I have a 240z which I'm restoring. Talk to me, we'll discuss more! CAN I SHOTGUN REAR LIGHTS IF UK SPEC

Sorry, just the main rad I'm after. In this conversion have to take off the air con so the engine will fit in the bay Hope that helps...

Evening Keyser, thanks for replying. Weekdays - Landan Weekend - Corby Where are you based? Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I'm after a radiator for a 350z. It doesn't have to be superb or in working condition to be honest. I'll be using it as a guide to make it sit in the the 240z. Ta very much, Astroboy

There will never be a better time than this, not many supercharged cars in the UK, so pre-owned system like DarrenB's are extremely rare, so far only 2 supercharges sold this year on here, mine and his You'll be saving yourself a fortune, specially if you kindly ask Darren to fit it for you Totally understand but It's not the right time for me. The VQ isn't even sitting in my engine bay at the moment, the L24 is still in there and needs to be taken out. Mounts to be fabricated, propshaft made, taken down to Oxted for ECU work etc etc... Anyhow, back to the SC at hand!

I wouldn’t mid that for my car but right now, it’s not at good idea. Good luck with the sale though!

Received the Apexi Intake just a few moments ago. Spanking condition too, it’s like brand new. Excellent communication. No quarms, top work. Appreciated. So thanks very much.

PM sent. Thanks in advance.

Tdi-North are good, always damn busy with those 4 pot Vtecs! That Mr West is def someone you can trust with your car.

Tesco is 1 mile away Shell is also 1.5 miles away BP is 2 miles away Using my daily drive diesel, I just get normal Asda's fuel. For performance cars that I've owned It's always been on 99ron minimum.

Picture 7 is the one I like the most.

Check out how to install. Kambo from DW is carefully taking his time to go through it all. Let us know how you get on mate.

Hey Wizard. Thanks for the heads up on that link. The stuff he produces looks pretty good. You mentioned that he is excellent. Have you used him before? I also notice that you and the chubby ninja have superchargers. Ohhh that makes me go weak and the knees lol. Anyhow, why a SC instead of TT? I know that the VQ will have a lot less weight to pull in a 240z so it should be a little faster? My research says that the weights are: 240z = 1015KG (With L24 Engine – Cast Iron straight 6) 240z = 970KG (With a VQ35DE – Aluminum based engine that weighs approx 45kg lighter than the L24; apparently) 350z = 1446KG AstroBoy = heavyweight Anyhow, would I really be able to notice the difference? Just imagine adding FI onto the VQ35 in the 240z. Aghhhh. Would you lose drivability due to it be very powerful and light? Could well do. I personally think after the VQ swop, I wouldn't do much more to it, engine/power wise except finding out the best suspension set up so it handles the best it can. If I was to consider FI, I would seriously have to level up my talent behind the wheel, then try and take it to the limit (on a track of course) of the car before spanking lots of money on FI. A guy stateside has done the conversion with a HR and is going to install twins on it. Nuts I know but it's a pretty special build. Thanks for bringing that up though.

Ki'ora bro! lol Thanks for that link, think the same fella has written on Hybrid-Z before. Are you in touch with him or can you get his email address please? He’s pretty much done everything that I’m planning to do, down to the Techno Toy Tuning suspension. It seems that he’s created his own mounts which I have to shamefully ask him about as I want to create the same thing. As he has CAD files, it’d be good to grab hold of them and the dimensions too as It’d save me a shed load of ££ which can be put elsewhere. As for the riveted arches, It’s something that I like but not sure if they are a fad or not. It’s just I’m aiming to keep the car for ages. The last owner welded on wider metal arches as per the picture below. That’s literally all the pictures I have for now. Thanks in advance, AstroBoy

Morning all, I was wondering where was the best place to start a build thread about my car, as in which part of the forum. Is there a section dedicated to projects/builds or does this go in, ''other cars'' ?.

lol less talent behind the wheel and even lesser research skills. Only joking, I'm a newbie here too and don't want to start a rukus already Best of luck finding the solution to your expensive problem. x 10
