Ortega_9 Posted March 15, 2020 Author Posted March 15, 2020 Had some time to get the turbo manifold welded back up, and redecked. Also finished my own new conrod design. I’ll be having theese made for FI use. And I could have put any name on them, but this knock knock joke never gets old... Now I’m stuck in corona lock down, and waiting for parts, bolts etc. Before I Can get anything Else done. 1 Quote
Ortega_9 Posted March 30, 2020 Author Posted March 30, 2020 The personal hell i just went too.... i HATE to have to remove all of the turbo setup to get my MOT, but there is no other Way. Now I’m just scared that I’ll never get around to get it back on the car again. Quote

Ortega_9 Posted April 2, 2020 Author Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Lhd. but i bet the steering rack nudge in the downpipe Can easily be welded up on the one side, and redone on the other. Edited April 2, 2020 by Ortega_9 Quote

Sim Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 @Ortega_9 why to you have to take the kit off for the MOT, where are you? Quote
Ortega_9 Posted January 10, 2022 Author Posted January 10, 2022 Well… the car was MOT’d…. and then sold in parts… I’m in Denmark. And just putting the turbo kit on the car in the first place could have cost me the car…. We have the worst set of rules and laws against modifing cars. And everything not up to code get’s confiscaded and you get a fine That’s bigger than the price of the car…. also a z33 like this cost the same as 22-25000£ to begin with in Denmark… so it’s just not worth the risk or effort… even though it was the best car I had ever build…. now I have an ae86 that I’m restoring and a celica ta22 That’s getting some tlc. And a st185 gt4 on the Way. I’m on Instagram and the book of face @Roadworthyish and also on the youtube where I do horrible vids https://youtube.com/user/ortegadk 1 Quote
Azurez33 Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 Those rules sound dreadful and also similar to Australia and New Zealand 🤔 very glad not in that sort of issue! But your work looks very in depth Quote

But your work looks very in depth It does suck yes…. You can’t really do anything like this and still legally drive it. and with a 180% car tax here, you Can basicly tripple all your prices on cars, so the starting point is so expensive, so with the risk of loosing the car it’s a gamble… and to top it all off, a 350z will cost around 1000£ a year just to be registered on the Road. And then insurence on top… Quote
