  1. Might be a struggle to get rid as these will only work with built bottom end and appropriate piston clearance, right? 11.5mm far too much for stock block?
  2. Ever had these through an MOT? What were the CO and HC figures? What CPI/CPSI rating are those Torqen cats?
  3. Do you have the actual figures from the test you could share? Do you have a stock ECU or has it been tuned, Uprev etc?
  4. Do you have any ECU tuning, or stock tune?
  5. What diameter is the Cobra system and what sort of mufflers/resonators has it got? Dual exit with muffler on both branches?
  6. Was it you bought them off me? Lovely job on the heat wrap... and painted helmholtz resonators? Don't suppose you've had a HC count check on a emissions tester? I think that single cat is only 200CPSI? I've got new custom made sports cats which are 200CPSI, same as BERKs I believe. EML comes on currently but I have some 45 degree spacers to add. The rest of my custom 3" post-Y system with 2 resonators then makes it insanely loud at low throttle loads in traffic... Might take it back to get another large res. added straight after the Y section. (it's single all the way to tip)
  7. How dare you put a non OEM spoiler on it! OK, just noticed the skirt extensions and clear reflectors too... XD IMO - Get yourself some spacers and some springs similar to the Nismo S-tune ones (progressive, 0.6" drop) to complete the OEM+ look and feel..... then poly bushes, adjustable camber arms, thicker ARBs, adjustable end links, adjustable tie rod ends...... haha it escalates.
  8. From Saturday morning in Liége before the 40 min drive to Spa. Plenty of Bentley team staying here.
  9. I thought when I got back that I should have looked if anybody else from the forum was going.
  10. I was wondering if anybody knows of an aftermarket flat undertray available to buy? I have a Zspeed but it hangs ridiculously low under the sump (designed for huge capacity sump) and hits speed bumps and bumps in the road well before the lip of my Nismo v2 bumper do, which clears everything with current ride height (almost stock) If there aren't any then I may need to manufacture one...

    NA Build

    Considering the huge restriction and gain on these engines has been proved to be the intake side (hence why the HR with dual TBs and better plenum makes so much more power, higher in the rev range and responds even better to basic breathing mods like decat, exhaust, intake) ...why not put the money into a ITB setup with standalone ECU instead? I would think there's at least one well know tuner in the UK that's done a ITB install with ECU on one of these... Add the biggest cams you can with stock internals and you would be looking at between 315-340 whp depending on other mods. Heck, Sasha Anis made 326 whp with an open DE plenum and custom 300° cams on stock DE internals: http://www.superstreetonline.com/how-to/engine/modp-1303-nissan-350z-vq35de-engine-build ...before it got sick with built engine and ITBs doing 370+ whp.
  12. Anyone know how to see AFR on the Pro version??
  13. Anyone else notice Paddy's Leaf had a Nismo v2 Z bumper grafted on?!?!!
  14. Yes, of course damper will make a difference. Damping/comfort is actually fine on any surface with these... So I wonder if there is any difference than just the spring between the BC models. I think it's just the hardness of the springs throwing me into the air all the time! I'm currently on Advan V105 245/40/18 front on 9.5J and Bridgestone RE050 275/40/18 dried up heaps of poo on 10.5J on the back... I'll wait to see what grip is like after the new springs and change tyres after if needed. Plenty of tread on the Bridgestones but think they've gone off. Bought second hand last year just to get a setup that didn't trigger TC at 15mph+ like the old 245/45/18 & 275/35/18 combo the past owner of these wheels had! To be honest I like liveliness in the rear end to allow you to almost point the chassis in the right direction, by shifting the balance through braking and throttle.... But it's silly atm I can always adjust toe, camber, ARBs etc to dial out or dial in any over or understeer. I thought I'd go 8K to make a big difference from 14K fronts because it's the front that currently throws itself all over the place over bumpy roads (tyres @ 26psi front atm). I didn't think 10K would be low enough to make a big enough difference.
  15. Not sure it's listed anywhere in your thread... Those are 'true' coil rear coilovers... Whatspring rates are the springs front and back and how does it ride on a very bumpy road? Pretty sure I made a massive mistake going for the track focused BCs last year @ 14k/12kg/mm rates I found someone online comparing suspension kits for the Z that reckoned that the change of position of the spring onto the turret rather than spring bucket increases the spring stiffness at the rear by about 2.25x ... It would explain the resonance through the cabin, very harsh ride, lack of grip and massive oversteer I have, being equivalent to 26k rear in the standard position I've got my rear tyres down at 23psi atm to cope a bit better until I get replacement springs to go in the coils. Going for 8k/6k swifts. I have whiteline adjustable ARBs and links front and back, full complement of Voodoo13 rear arms, poly bushes all round, Voodoo13 adjustable tie rod ends, Driftworks upper front arms etc... And same 40 profile tyres as you. So I suspect we're in a similar position as far as handling goes. (Or will be)
  16. Based on the advert, looks a bargain to me. Pretty sure Z prices can only go up.
  17. Don't suppose you have what I think is the alarm sensor module that sits in the middle of the headliner on GT models? Mine had broken clips so hangs most the time.

    HR bonnet

    Or fibreglass if good quality, with standard bonnet release fitted etc.

    HR bonnet

    Wanted - standard aluminium HR bonnet preferably within 2.5-3 hour drive of Ipswich. Or courier possible?
  20. I also see you're not running a cat post-turbo exhaust. How are you passing MOT? Or are the emissions really low due to the nature of turbos? (MOT limit is 200ppm for CO2?)
  21. Sorry, re-looked at photos. Were the injectors part of the kit or bought separately? What is recommended for this kit? 500cc?
  22. So between 410-430 ATF with 15% drivetrain loss. What's 'safe boost' and 'high boost' levels? 7psi and 10psi? Do you have a dyno graph so I can see when the turbo is spooling etc? How much is the rear mount turbo kit and where's it available from? What do you do with Cats etc? Hmm.... It takes a feed straight from a stock exhaust pipe post-cats? Though I suppose it would be far better to go decat, bungs/signal generators. Then some cats post-turbo... I guess for your level of power you don't need a modified MAF?
