  1. If you look in Marks thread you will find a comparison between a stock and a tuned zed with no mods. There were gains in the right places, better throttle control and I belive better economy. Dynos are close but it depends on operators and what gear the car is in as well as variables like if the dyno has been calibrated well. Stock zeds on the dyno tend to come in close to the given BHP, some have come in low but that can also be down to compression, sparks etc etc. Main thing is to find some one you trust (as well as others) get a dyno reading and continue on that same dyno for the rest of the work. I think you could be right on the cost effective route.. If I started again, the first thing on the car would be a charger or some mild but upgradeable TT... But I have roughly a 40bhp (and shed loads more torque) increase over when I had the car 1st dynoed (think it was about 228 at the wheel and is now 271 at the hub) and the car performs soo much better so am happy with what I got... For now!! +1 If I started again my first purchase would be a Vortech

    weekend hire ?

    When I test drove a skyline a few weeks ago I told the sales man I had to go home & discuss it with the wife
  9. Not entirely true I think that DjTimo is running a square setup & there are a lot of guys in the US that run it with adverse effects
  10. Excellent work, One of the very few cars that can pull off the Veilside kit
  11. Very difficult. Its taken 3 years to get it to that stage & way to much money on overpriced JDM parts I really want a Bayside but they seem to bring a premium, I would settle for white or black aswell
  12. This is exactly why I only post after the job is finished
