I will be keen to wind the boost up. But I'm guessing there'll be a break in period for the new engine! That's going to be hard!
When I take it to be remapped I'm going to ask him to try and keep the same characteristics as it has now. No lag and a nice linear torque and power curve, but with more power. I won't sacrifice excellent power delivery over peak torque and bhp.
Well I'll finally have the stage 1 shortblock ordered and paid for by next week. Takes 5-6 weeks to arrive from the states.
After that will be the big brake kit.
The way it makes me feel. The attention people pay when you drive past.
EG; I was refuelling one time and a guy driving off after filling up pointed to my Z and gave thumbs up.
Always turns heads.
Then there's the sound the V6 makes.
It has a lot of road presence and timeless looks. You wouldn't think it was 13 years old!
Personally, being an ex major midnight toker, I love the smell.
But I can understand it may cause alarm when ones chariot is kicking out a righteous dank.
I don't want to meet any of you. You're all rich corporate boys who's Z is just a plaything alongside your R35's, Ferraris, top end Beemers etc....
Daniel, nice Beeper.
Beemer* f**k you autocorrect^
I'm not 100% sure but I think this may be the donor car my turbo kit came from. Mark@ Abby Motorsports may be able to confirm...

I'm still working my way through a series of books called The Horus Heresy.
32 books so far at 300 pages or so each.
Helps if you know the background fluff about the Astartes and Imperium of man.
Based on the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
The owner of Premier Range kitchens in Todmorden scares his completely immigrant staff into working 70 hours a week without contract or signing the 48hr opt out.
He also makes them walk his dogs when he's abroad.
I've seen a midnight blue Z up close. The colour doesn't really impress unless you see it in person. Really nice.
One was being remapped at TDI North same day as mine. Made 335bhp no other mods.
An elderly chain smoking fella owned it.
Back "in the day" I built a watercooled PC full of cold cathode lights and a custom case that'd I'd built a 300mm fan into the side panel for extra cooling. Quite a while ago now though.
Was absolutely silent. Could only hear the hard drive.
Was the first generation of i7 (920)
I couldn't imagine buying a car not knowing EXACTLY what it was and the variations.
Sorry. If it was advertised and sold as an HR and you paid HR prices then you should take it back.
I'd be really annoyed.
Consoles are good to just lay in bed at weekend. I used to much prefer a PC but being much more busy than when I was younger I can't justify the desk etc and the time spent sat at it with a PC.
I do prefer them though.
I don't know much about the Police forces of other countries or how they're governed and funded. In Asian countries where there isn't as much Political Correctness as there is here and human rights tend to get mildly to grossly violated (China/Thailand etc).
But I do know that here Police are governed closely and funded by the public to serve the public and protect us, not talk down to us and keep us under suspicion until proven innocent.
