TT350 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 Car has 600cc injectors fitted. It was a kit we stripped from a Car returning it to a more stock NA set up for insurance reasons. Thanks Mark. Quote
GMballistic Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 You could add the dyno results & the mods the car has to "the dyno results info" thread if you'd like. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/23450-dyno-results-info-thread/page__st__120#entry1463445 1 Quote
TT350 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Posted April 27, 2015 Bleh. One of the turbo's actuator is broken and waste gate is stuck open. Quote
GMballistic Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Bleh. One of the turbo's actuator is broken and waste gate is stuck open. Shouldn't be too hard to get a new turbo actuator though. Do you know what the turbo model number is? I'd have thought Abbey Motorsport should be able to help you out with this. Edited April 27, 2015 by GMballistic Quote
TT350 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Posted April 27, 2015 It's a pe1420 made by power enterprise. I'm not sure what turbo it is or what it's based on. Made by IHI. As far as I could gather I just need a nut to get it back on. Can't wait until I've ironed out all the little teething problems!! Quote
GMballistic Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Can't wait until I've ironed out all the little teething problems!! Got my fingers crossed for you. Never nice when things aren't quite running right. Good luck. Quote
TT350 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Posted April 27, 2015 Thanks mate It seems to be the price we pay for modifying cars lol. I'll get it sorted! Quote
GMballistic Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Thanks mate It seems to be the price we pay for modifying cars lol. I'll get it sorted! This is true but then standard cars have their problems too and I know which I'd rather be driving. 1 Quote
TT350 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 True. Although I went to see friends new car yesterday. 6.2 C63 AMG. Lovely. Quote

nissanman312 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 I wouldn't fancy mercs parts prices tho Quote
TT350 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 Oh absolutely. The guy that owns it is into his designer clothes/watches/aftershave so his car reflects his personality really. When it starts costing him it'll go. 1 Quote
TT350 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 Oh my. So. Sorted the issue with the actuator. Thinking it'd cure the odd noise that got us to look under the car and investigate in the first place. Wrong. The manifold is loose on the left bank. No washers on it and some of the bolts are finger loose. Problem is there's naff all room to tighten them. I'm hoping I can get in somehow by raising the engine one side but I doubt it. Looks like an engine out job. Ok the plus side sorted the issue of steering column rubbing against downpipe and relocated the fuel line tgat was rubbing against the decat pipe. Quote
TT350 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Despite problems I think I'll be pressing on with the project Shopping list is; BC Coilovers ARB upgrades Geometry set up Additional suspension mods (any suggestions?) Bodywork repaired Possible colour change Rear diffuser Vertex bodykit Work VSXX wheels 19" F/R lights LED Bonnet dampers Engine bling Alcantara dash and door cards Blitz gauges for gauge pods Custom binnacle with blue back light Air con etc knobs same as above Nismo seats/seats reupholstered blue and black alcantara Cosworth shortblock (comes fully built balanced etc with low comp pistons upgraded rods) Y pipe Invidia exhaust system Increase boost Clutch upgrade By which time the world's fossil fuels will have been completely depleted and politicians have been hunted to extinction.

TT350 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Posted May 7, 2015 I think it's going in for full respray and bodywork soon. Within the next couple of weeks. In the original metallic grey colour. Not sure what it's known as. Or should I go R32 GTR Gunmetal grey? Quote

Elliot350 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Wv2 believe its silverstone grey..... What mine is currently having a full freshen up in Quote

Cheaper option to get it done in the standard colour. Want to get to some meets but far too embarrassed with the state it's in at the moment! Quote
TT350 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Posted May 7, 2015 Wv2 believe its silverstone grey..... What mine is currently having a full freshen up in Googled Silverstone Grey and that indeed is a match! Quote
GMballistic Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Wv2 believe its silverstone grey..... What mine is currently having a full freshen up in Googled Silverstone Grey and that indeed is a match! Hard to tell in pictures but at least you know now what it is. Quote

Hard to tell in pictures but at least you know now what it is. Very tempted to go.for the R32 Gun grey metallic though! Quote
Elliot350 Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 That will involve A LOT more work..... All the backs of the doors, tailgate etc will need painting and also the door shuts and boot shut etc. I stuck with silver stone grey as I like the colour anyway just wanted to refresh the whole body and changing the bumpers a little. 1 Quote

Yeah. But luckily I'm good friends with the owner of a bodyshop so I've been quoted 1000 all in. Gun grey is a nice subtle colour and I think it'll suit the Z well Quote
Elliot350 Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Ah right that's not bad then very good price! All I would say is mates doing work for you always ends up hassle unless they are reliable. Every time mates do work for me it takes aggggeeesss although the price is normally good. Get it done! Be nice to see it progress Quote
