  1. Cheers guys! Love the braided hose but gotta be silicone for me but I'm guessing it's an 8mm I/D. I was hoping to get away with not measuring it as I can't till tomorrow & I'm impatient so wanted to order it today but I'll have to wait me thinks! There's also a breather that I need to do so I can fit an oil catch can!
  2. I've just bought a silicone hose set for the radiator but it was only a 3 piece. Couldn't find a set with the 4th hose in the colour I wanted, the 1 that goes from the radiator cap to the expansion bottle. So my question is to people that have fitted silicone hoses, what is the internal diameter of said hose please?
  3. Received my brace last week & fitted in the rain on Saturday! The quality is amazing & it looks sick!
  4. Already saving for the turbo conversion!
  5. Cheers guys. She will be tracked but not till next year & if she survives that then a big fat turbo will be fitted in 2 years & then I'll fit an oil cooler.
  6. I know the basic answer is YES but there is an actual reason I ask! My car has recently clocked over to 101k miles & has had some work done on the engine including a remap. Now I'm starting to get the dreaded spark plug/coil pack death syndrome. Cylinder 1 has started to misfire! I put new plugs in along with all new fluids just before the remap a couple of months ago. I've got new standard plugs ordered & gonna swap them out as a matter of course anyhoo but I got a feeling it's the coil pack! Was speaking to a tuner dude yesterday & he said Nissans engines, along with a lot of other brands, run hotter after remapping so are more likely to burn out the sensitive electrical gubbins. Especially on high milers! Now I know he ain't on about water/coolant temp as they are fine but also its oil that circulates around the heads. So if I spunk out £366 on a Mishimoto oil cooler kit am I still gonna cook the shizzle out of my packs or will that be enough oil cooling to save them? Also it looks cool a fook man!
  7. Here's the page for the 75mm throttle body under the thermal intake spacer. Which isn't available for the 350z but every other vehicle that uses the engine! Strange! Lol. http://www.nwpengineering.com/Phenolic_Spacers.html#BBTB
  8. Cheers mate, I have spoken to them a fair bit & feel a bit cheeky asking them so many questions. I have found a 75mm throttle body, adapted plate & wiring but as per usual it's from the states! $355 though all in plus shipping, import tax & VAT so hopefully there summat like that but here!
  9. Anyhoo this wasn't supposed to be a phylosifical debate on dynos as I know different dynos, air temp, altitude, blah, blah give different readings. My 1st reading was from H-Dev & it's there's that I would trust over anyone else's. My actual question was about mods. Where do I get larger/uprated throttle bodies from? Has anyone dotted water meth injection? I want the heads ported & polished but this is my daily work car so can't do that till I get another daily driver.
  10. I know & then there things like air temp, altitude above sew level & barometric pressure on the day but it's a rough guide. Nothing more
  11. Has anyone done water meth injection? We got 2 screen wash bottles so 1 could be converted easily enough!🤔
  12. Then I'll have a slightly soggy engine!😂😂😂😂😂
  13. I couldn't believe that I gained 17/18hp by going back to the stock air box with a decent panel filter but the dyno figures show it. It feels so much better with the stock box also, a lot more responsive throughout the whole rev range. Definitely recommend the JR Performance filter & a good price from H-Dev also.ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
  14. My power is down from new & all that but the torque is just a bit higher than standard @ 263ft/lbs so she pulls like a train. Mad that I've lost power in my 10 year old engine with 101k miles but I've got more torque.ðŸ˜ðŸ‘ðŸ»
  15. Oh damn I knew I forgot summat! Lolol A/C was off & the roof down. FTW!ðŸ˜
