Those rules sound dreadful and also similar to Australia and New Zealand 🤔 very glad not in that sort of issue! But your work looks very in depth 

It does suck yes….

You can’t really do anything like this and still legally drive it.

and with a 180% car tax here, you Can basicly tripple all your prices on cars, so the starting point is so expensive, so with the risk of loosing the car it’s a gamble…

and to top it all off, a 350z will cost around 1000£ a year just to be registered on the Road. And then insurence on top…

Well… the car was MOT’d…. 
and then sold in parts…

I’m in Denmark. And just putting the turbo kit on the car in the first place could have cost me the car…. 
 

We have the worst set of rules and laws against modifing cars. And everything not up to code get’s confiscaded and you get a fine That’s bigger than the price of the car….

also a z33 like this cost the same as 22-25000£ to begin with in Denmark… so it’s just not worth the risk or effort…

even though it was the best car I had ever build…. 
 

now I have an ae86 that I’m restoring and a celica ta22 That’s getting some tlc. And a st185 gt4 on the Way.

I’m on Instagram and the book of face @Roadworthyish 

and also on the youtube where I do horrible vids https://youtube.com/user/ortegadk

Thanks.

I should mention I Would love them in Stock bore...

what would you want for either set?

Hi.

I’m on the Hunt for some FI compression ratio pistons. Would I be so lucky that someone has some laying around used/new.  Comp ratio max 8.8:1.

Update....

the Z has been sitting in the garage for the last few month...

The thing is that after beeing twin turbo for two years and having an absolute beast of a car... and now having a more or less Stock vq, it’s just not the car I want....

I am having serious turbo withdraw...

ready for mot tomorrow....
 

what a trip!

And after alot of hours in the garage.... it’s finally out on it’s wheels...

just pulled the AEM, sensors and harness. Easyist ever to pull out, took 15 mins.

fitted the Stock ecu, and put Oil and fluids in and it fired right up. 

and now I’m getting the exhaust sorted and fitting the front bumper... and THEN. It’s ready for MOT....

Oh cool 

Would be awsome if you documented that on here for us 

Not enough good builds lately 

 

But sounds like your minds made up on a Godzilla at some point  

I Would like to.

but I can’t Shake the feeling that it might not be the place for a ae86 build.

I’ll be doing alot from that build, and all the other things I do in the shed on my Instagram.

@roadworthyish

I’m not sure yet. There are some choises ahead.

What will be next

I Think I need to get my ae86 build done. And then I’ll have a good hard Think about it.

but I can’t seem to shake the GTR out of my head. I might have to scratch that itch.

Just adding Numbers up.... Total spend on this kit so far....

stopped counting when I Got Past 10k

it is the most comprehensive kit i’we ever had on any car. But still... 

Lhd.

but i bet the steering rack nudge in the downpipe Can easily be welded up on the one side, and redone on the other.

And i’we decided to remove all of the turbo kit parts. Injectors, Aem ecu, harness and BTI Can controller.

all coming up for sale shortly....

complete pnp 450bhp kit

capable of a hell of alot more...

Stay strong. Its easier the second time you put it on.. Still a pain

Cheers.

true... 

The personal hell i just went too....

i HATE to have to remove all of the turbo setup to get my MOT, but there is no other Way.

Now I’m just scared that I’ll never get around to get it back on the car again.

What for? 350z or 370z?

Ohh Sorry...

350z vq35de

please delete.

Had some time to get the turbo manifold welded back up, and redecked.

Also finished my own new conrod design. I’ll be having theese made for FI use.  And I could have put any name on them, but this knock knock joke never gets old... 

Now I’m stuck in corona lock down, and waiting for parts, bolts etc. Before I Can get anything Else done.

nice wheels,what are they and what specs?

Thx.

some jr in 19” 

i think it’s 9,5” and 10,5” et 22.

could be lower et. I have 5mm spacers front, but could be 8... and Would also suit it in the back...

And having a poke around the manifold after removing transmission and the lot, it made sense why it had a blown gasket Sound for the last few Miles....

also Got my new clutch release bearing and o rings home for the leaky cam sensor..... aaaaand either the parts were broken, or they didn’t fit.... pretty good result this week.

I’ll give it a try next week again.

Well I’ll have some ketchup with that hat please....

just pulled this of the car.
 

cracked!! but they do have a horrible life down there. After a pull with full launch and Als and the bells and whistles, they glow White for a couple of minuttes before coming back from the melting point.

I’ll machine the flanges again, and hope their done bending for now.

and get those cracks welded back up.

but still. This is repairable. My old Gtm castiron was scrap when they cracked. 

Ohh. And i finally pulled the transmission to get to the rear main seal... guess what
