  1. When I end up skint and broken?! Have you read this journal!? Lol.
  2. It went like @*!# off a shovel! I think permanent 4 wheel drive is excellent for getting off the line if you have the torque to take advantage of it, like the 3000GT does, and not bog down. You've piqued my interest with the 3000GT.
  3. If this hasn't sold in a couple of weeks I'll be interested
  4. Plenty of turbos have a T3 flange. I feel it's better to have a turbo that isn't absolutely maxed out like yours will be. I will upgrade mine to GTX2876R's as they're the biggest I can get ony T25 flange. You can ways sell your turbos. They'd go quickly on a Subaru owners club.
  5. Why not just get bigger turbos to get your 700bhp? If all the ancillary parts can cope too.
  6. Quick look on YouTube and there's plenty of 1000bhp ones. They really launch hard, too. Put the power down. Decent 4WD.
  7. Yep, that's a fair bit cheaper. A very rare sight, too. They have a lot of road presence. All I know is that, in Gran Turismo, you could get over 900bhp out of them! Is the engine that tuneable in RL?
  8. I meant, is the 3000gt the one you can afford? An R34 is going to cost at least high 30s. A supra early to mid 20s. I'm guessing the 3000gt is a fair bit cheaper?
  9. More is more. I guess most would say, why not just buy a GTR.
  10. So, the Z has remained in the garage having EVERY little issue sorted out. Two new flexi's Oil catch can fitted and working Drivers side window rattling Strut brace no longer fowling on the plenum Knocking coming from front end -Banana arms Waxoyl underseal Additional requests - fit coilovers that I'll be getting in a few weeks Fit complete set of new suspension bushes - poly. Manual in cabin boost controller from Forge (summertime I should have Syvecs in and running so won't need this but in the meantime I'd like to max out the 600cc injectors) Towards summer I'll be getting new turbo's. Garrett GTX2876R gen 2. Flow up to 550bhp each so should be able to change injectors and a bigger fuel pump than the 256LPH one I have and run more boost. I want to run reliably and not on the edge of any one parts capabilities. The bottom end is good for at least 650bhp. I think that's the number I'll settle at. I had thought of taking her up to 1000bhp by swapping out the current uprated bottom end and replacing with a Brian Crower 4.1L forged bottom end. Sell my old one half price along with the PE1420 turbos and the 600cc injectors and fuel pump to someone who wants to go twin turbo on the cheap. Should pay for the BC 4.1 kit. The GTX2876R's should produce 1000bhp. Perhaps I should buy bigger turbos than those if that's my goal. A set of 3076 or higher. But they'll require adaptors for my T25 fitment to T3. That's all just a thought for now. A distant thought. I know a lot of people will say or ask "why?!". Well, ever since I upgraded an R33GTR to nearly 1000bhp on Gran Turismo, 1000bhp was what I wanted!! I have no life lol. So why not. If you ever drive a 450bhp turbo Z, you'll know how different even that it is in terms of acceleration compared to an NA Z. Then imagine 1000bhp. Jesus. Your arse will be in the boot.
  11. Still not heard from MM cs. Been a while now.
  12. Andy James + Kat Shezza Valy Keyser Paul k + Dawn Nso93 Humpy G1en Rickdon VeilsideZ Andy-Muxlow +1 possibly Bob94 Buster and Netti Winkj(if I get her back) Teejay+1 Flashback Modo +1 TT350 (try)
  13. Being FI too, I can say that the OEM works fine. I put mine back on last week. Still using the fans from the sh1timoto though. They seem really decent.
  14. It has been a pain. Its just one of those things. I was unlucky in that the 430bhp I had (which people say is the safe limit) blew my engine up within weeks. Then I had a breakup with the gf and that cost me an arm and a leg and continues to. Other than that it's just been the overheating and a turbo bung. Clutch replaced but that was to be expected. The misfire...well a coil can go any time. I got 6 uses ones off eBay for 70 quid and sorted it. Modifying cars is a ballache but there's that part inside you that says "when this works properly......" Lol.
  15. Thank god. Close shave there mate. @Snjur recommends Skunk2. But he says of you're not blasting it on track then standard rad is fine. And he's got a million bhp. I have a Mishimoto oil cooler and that's fine.
  16. Don't buy a Mishimoto rad. Garbage. I replaced mine with the original after overheating a few times and now it's cool and stable. Other news. Found out what fitment my spurious PE1420 turbos were. T25. So I can go up to a set of GT2876R's before messing about with adaptors. To be honest they give 450bhp each so I can expect high 700s in twin. PE1420s are rare as fk and sought after by 200sx owners because of the zero lag. so I should be able to recoup most or at least half of the cost of buying the Garetts. That'll be springtime though. Also....Syvecs.
