  1. I have had some Bilstein B6 dampers on order for the last 2 months and now they will not be in until the end of August .

     

    Has anybody had the KONI yellow sport as I may have to look at them to go with my TEIN springs .

     

    regards

  2. Have checked this a few times now and the plenum is tepid when before it was hot and the upper plenum / throttle body is now cold to the touch after 40 mins of driving .

     

    I wish I had done a before and after heat test on the plenum / throttle body as would be good to see the difference but it is much cooler to my surprise .

  7. Just going on from my build thread the car is nearly done to how I want it ( there are all ways more things I know ) but I have one last spend that I have said I would do but not sure what way to go .

     

    http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/97284-gm-350z-gt/

     

    I have some more suspension pats coming to finish the old bus off but one more of the below I have aloud and just want to get some thoughts .

     

    Option 1

     

    Torqen big brake kit ( 6 pot ) will need to check this fits but 6 pots does sound nice .

     

    Option 2

     

    Akebono big brake kit bigger discs than the above ( 355 front 350 rear vs 356 front 330 rear ) and cheaper but only 4 pots front and 2 pots rear .

     

    Option 3

     

    Replace clutch & DMFW ( clutch is not slipping but is on 91K ) + fit DC sport S/S headers when clutch is done to save on labour .

     

    I have changed the disc and pads and lines on the Brembo set up a few months ago but then headers will only gain around 4-6 HP

     

    Any thoughts welcome

  8. Very nice bud,

     

    Quick question - How did you find the seafoam? Worth doing?

     

    For £ 20 for x 2 bottles on Ebay I think so .

     

    I put one n the fuel tank 3/4 in the oil ( ran for 100 miles ) and the last bit in the crank but only a little .
