stunning patience and engineering skills (not to mention photographic) but, respectfully,,are not the 350z efi ITB kits from £900 suitable, also I am confused over the need of the modified 350 orig throttle body in Addition to the ITBs - is this just an interface for fly by wire throttle? ps you should knock up a personal VTOL & Ultima in your lunch breaks

...and now for the elephant in the room...what sort of cost for a job like this?

..prejudice is a wonderful thing! ... not! Does 90 mph up the drive and 69mpg other day from midlands to Cornwall (thats overall and recording a 62mph overall average speed) I kid ye not

i too might have agreed...until i drove a repmobile mondeo tdc...by eck, it do fly..the boost transition feels pretty much similar to a Scooby! - Ok, it cant be but it genuinely strains your neck in 2nd and third

...sounds about par for the course in Uk from my experience too - made holiday accom + prof therapist inquiries recently - about 10% response - both my inquiries were stressing regular business - but judging by the rates these people charge, I guess they only work when they feel like it.. - B&B prices, a hundred plus per night?! (£40.000 pa per room from own house....)

...or outside the box..AJP 4.5 Flatplane V8 good for 450 / 450, smaller and lighter than the Z V6 ensuring a power to weight over the magic 300/300/ton - ultra responsive engine that would suit the Z mean streak a treat - avail with compact gbox and cheaper than a new LS3 kitted out

........as it should always have been......

from youtube experience only, the Invidia does sound good and not wishing to divert cash away from potential sales....have you googled 'muffler delete' - simply removing rear oversilenced box and re connecting tailpipes or custom tips to main resonator gives a close approximation to the best 'systems' with possibly more crackle and pop - you also save a fair bit of weight hanging out there at the rear - particularly good for roadsters - I suspect, splitting original 'muffler' and stripping out baffles may also have good results

was it a member at sam pepys last night?

...frankly i would be more concerned with the wobbly discs.....and the price

where r they based?

......yeee gods, over a thousand pounds for preventative correction of a known design error in the final evolution 3.5?! ..or worse..

sso what is a typical Indi total fitted bill for preventive upgraded gasket? - Anything else that is dismantled that should be changed at same time?

..hmm, Griff isnt fly by wire so idle adjustment was simple - not sure if raising idle during re-map would keep fueling on during over-run or maybe there is an alternative way of doing it - ignition will need to be active to preserve CAT & ignite fuel, I doubt that that is shut-off? - I am not very technical, I just know what worked for me (mine is also pre-cat

I kinda thought they have oil gauges (not got Z yet) .. its just that I saw on forum some poor chap had his engine blow cos he didnt realise there was total loss of oil pressure..which put my 'worry hat' back on!

what years and mileages tend to start to show rusting?

is it only the HR which has oil press gauge as stD? Is there an upgrade for this inadequate std part to prevent this alarming event re-ocurring

fitting oil pressure gauge + alarm - whats involved? - Was one fitted as std on any models eg HR? - The reported gasket failure which allows internal catastrophic oil / pressure loss - can this be prevented with an upgraded part, if so approx how much with an Indi?

cheers

yeah thats what I was 'budgeting for', but LS3 - Stateside (albeit LHD) you can get most of the conversion parts, right down to 'plug and play' wiring harness converter kits! - Custom headers from a UK race / rally shop if adapting LHD ones pointless, mounts etc Sikky...and your best friend the race mechanic fed with endless supply of chips ..possibly not that easy.....but what a car, basically pick any power you want / think you can handle, as the LS variants and ready tuning options is just a pick & mix he mutters with incredible naivety.. All I will say is, i hope Wasso pops by this thread and lets you know just how easy it is, or Keyser or Buster who are working on the project, sorry did i say easy..... ...I can barely imagine...we can only imagine....tis a shame its not a straight forward proposition....

still find it hard to see how a £3k used LS3 with box becomes c £12k fitted More torque then than you know what to do with, no £1k / 10 hp increments.. Just whistling in the breeze.....

and it must sound amazing...

Rear Wiper - Import model or does HR or any UK model have option? Seen HR with rear wiper, which not noticed before - Is this an import or do UK cars have this option?
