  1. What's wrong with ones I got? Lol
  2. Got pics? Be interesting to see how different
  3. Have decided to stay colour coded for now and maybe go colour coded on the side skirt diffusers as well to even out..? Thoughts or go black?
  4. Flames are cool. I don't get many but am told when one does pop it, it's a flame thrower lol got a bee r rev limiter but heard bad stories so duno if to fit it
  5. Doesn't go with my side skirt diffusers though lol
  6. I'm after one if anyone trying to get rid of their one and needs a buyer? If not I will be enquiring to Tarmac next Friday. So let me know as soon as if you have one
  7. My kit is APS and I've heard of one being fitted without the engine coming out and it took that long you may as well just drop the engine, its a lot easier.. Fitting price varies where you get it done.. If you do it yourself, if you have the knowledge and confidence, you save a lot. By a mechanic can be anywhere from £1'000 plus depending on what they charge and how easy your bolts are to undo....
  8. No problem in dropping to Reading mate
  9. Hi guys, Got a rear diffuser I have had for probably around a year now and have never got round to fitting, so new and unused. Have now decided to go for a Top Secret style one off Tarmac and hopefully use the funds from this one to contribute towards it. Does looks good on the car as you can see from one of the photos (resting on the exhaust). It is different as this one has the grill on it. Only ever seen these pop up twice for sale since I've had it. Would recommend some side spats with it as well, will look the b*llox Looking for £100 + P&P which I would imagine be around £15 - £20 1st class signed for. Collections welcome from Reading, Ascot, Basingstoke areas.
  10. Strosek. Extremely pricey new and hard to get hold of, good luck! In other words "it's mine, it was my idea so please don't copy me!" Nah I don't mind, be nice to see another zed with a Strosek
  11. Test fit of the painted bumper before splitter goes black. What do you guys think?
  12. Strosek. Extremely pricey new and hard to get hold of, good luck!
  13. Been extremely busy and haven't had much time on the zed but made more slow progress. Bumper is now painted. Will be having the splitter painted gloss black.
  14. My car isn't ready, going to have to pull out, sorry for late notice
  15. Not sure yet, had so many different offers before, see what happens when it comes to it
  16. Never heard of cooling issues? I do think it will be as reliable if not more reliable than a boosted VQ. Certainly a lot more tunable as I've pretty much hit my maximum without uprating everything again on mine to benefit an extra 100+ bhp.. Just converting to RB I can be looking at 450 - 500bhp as standard I reckon I would make quite a bit back off the VQ TT lump I've got at the moment to benefit what's needed for the RB26.. I've estimated around 6k for everything I need from engine/trans, mounting kit to loom and custom prop. (not including labour and any custom fabrication obviously). Is 450-500 not like the max you can get out an RB without fully building a forged engine with a lot bigger turbo/turbos? And you're VQ could achieve more than this if it's forged. I personally think 6 grand is way off as you will have to buy all the new fuelling system to support a big power RB, then the big single/twin turbos,intercooler, engine management, mapping aswell as all the machining and porting and an engineering shop for the oil system and then there's cams, valves, springs, the list is massive but if you have the money go for it. And like you said you will make a good bit of money back from the TT VQ engine and i also might want to take it off your hands There certainly is a lot of work involved but that's the point of a project. 6k will get me started, will give me a base to work on from there.. I've got contacts for mapping and some fabrication so shouldn't scare my bank in that area. And yes VQ TT will be my main source of funds so could be in the hands of another lucky zed owner
  17. Never really looked into 2JZ as I'm personally not a fan of honda. Don't get me wrong, they make great motors but just never had interest in them.. Unless its on 2 wheels and has CBR written on the side of it.. Toyota haha my bad
  18. Prefer turbo spool over charger whine Do like a V8 but seen it done a few times now...

  20. I don't mean 6k as a whole, for essentials to get ball rolling.. You can get complete blocks with manifolds, turbos etc for 3.5k at most...

  22. I just paid £10 off ebay for 10pc one to start me off !! Gutted
  23. Been humming and haring about parting with the zed TT for something else despite all paint work and remaps I've been doing to it over last few months. I've always loved the skyline straight six and I love my zed. Has anyone in the UK done a RB26 conversion? I've been looking at kits from US to import here to bolt the RB26 straight in.. So something I may consider if I still have the zed in 2015..
