  6. please dont paint them red!!!!!!!!!!! Back or gunmetal! Just go for a 295?35?19 !! will look beefy!
  7. K & N with carbon air box! sound great! And now with my new black plenum! Thanks Tim.
  8. Same Kit used on the nissan 350z gt-s supercharged model! ££££££££ very expensive but still cool!
  9. Rickya that what i have thought. The ECU cant advance the timing to get the power back due to the less dense hot air. If this was making more power than standard then the ECU can trim the timing and fuel to get back to ware you started! Tim.
  10. Heat soak is when the heat from the engine heats up the intake set up. This means the air temp is raised and there for less dense. When the ECU detects the less dense warm air then retards the timing to stop the engine detonating. (Knocking). This effect wares off once the cold outside air is flowing over the engine and the engine is under load and pulling more air in! Metal air boxes get hot and act like heaters for the air when the car is not moving.
  11. The ECU will ajust BUT it will not "learn" fast enough to tune out heat soak which can happen when ever the car is stopped.
  12. hi mate ABP say £160 that is just for springs! for fitting and setting up they quoted me £400 !!!! For a few hundred more you can get some lower spec coilovers and fit them your self!! 30mm my sound like not muh but i have seen ABP's 350z with the 30mm kit on and its VERY low. Also with springs that lower this much it throws your camber way off. Your gonna need a camber kit to save your tyres too! I wanted springs to start with but realized that i should just wait and save for the best for my car! IMHO Tim.
  13. dont skimp out on the cheap option! get the dampers to or coilovers because you want to improve ur car not make it crapper!
  14. Cant beat a bit of DIY guys!:teeth: The intake tube was a bitch to rap due to the tape having no give or strech in it. I think the pop charger will suffer heat soak badly due to the very poor heat shield design. Tim.
  15. Hi guys just tought id share my day with you lot! Ive had a typhoon intake fitted now for about 2 months and it sounds and performs great! One of the main disadvantages with this system is the fact it uses alu for the intake tube and folded steel for the airbox. I have read a few threads on the subject of heat soak and how it affects you car. From the threads i have read it proves that when the car is moving and load is on the engine, the time that the air is in contact with the "hot" intake track it has no ill effect on the cars performance. This is not true when the car is stopped or moving slowly through traffic. Now comes the "i have nothing to do to day syndrome" !! I have seen the thermal tape and reflectors use in motorsport and just thought why not! 45mins later and back from demon tweeks i have 30feet of DEI thermal reflection tape! Upto 1500deg C radiant heat resistant and thin to rap small components. I did the hole intake tube and the air box. The air box pics below. (I still need to take intake tube pic so ill up date this when i have them.) Any comments guys and gals! From my calculations this should give me AT LEAST 75bhp more @ 22,000 rpm! hahaha. Thanks Tim
