  2. That would be me I haven't had a chance to test the code reader side of it yet, since fitting it my car has stopped throwing the code
  3. Currently got a few Necro albums on my playlist http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtuuChmB8Ac Not really work safe though

    I think MrLizard had one of these, might be worth a pm to him
  8. No, the RB26 Esprit Z The same one that is currently for sale in Japan
  9. Pretty sure that is the 4WD version. Espirit Z FTW though
  10. c'mon Steve, don't be a lazy a---e! It 's car up the stands, 8 bolts each way, disconnect and reconnect the sensors, car down and only once a year I will do it for extra ponies anytime and save more good change for other mods. The evo/ scooby/RB crowd are at it so why not Have you ever changed the cats over then Bennet? I doubt it I paid a garage £60 to swap over my standard cats for some HKS hi-flows, and even with all the tools on hand, and up on the ramps above head height, it was a bugger of a job If your car is purely for the track then its a viable option, but as you use the car day in day out on the roads then it aint worth it. You'll more than likely have to do a reset every day, due to the engine check light coming on all the time. The car will be technically illegal to drive on the road, and if you had an accident and the insurance company picked up on it, you'd be fooked My car ran lovely with the hi-flows connected, it also flew the MOT, no issues whatsoever. I wish i had the car now with the set up it did have, and taken it to RS-Tuning to show you that hi-flows can give just as good gains from a reflash as decats. In summary, its against the law and too much hassle for similar gains to hi-flows. I never said it was easy to swap it. just said it can be done by yourself You don't have to reset it everyday if you have a non fouler If mapped wheel decats will make marginally more power but thats spliting atoms. Also your the supporting exhaust mods makes a difference. you should always aim to flow from small into big So if you do decats or HFC the you need to de restrict the y-pipe atleast with an aftermarket tuned one like nismo or copy of nismo(eg Japspeed, ichiba ESR) and also consider a big bore(3") y-pipe back exhaust. I am guessing this might have been the cause of loss of torque in some cases. i aggree its not legal but where is the fun? for me i would not mind the hasle if i save myself circa £400 in the process.( eg Berk HFC vs Japspeed decat = £490 vs £90 and thats the real issue Mine was with the Ichiba Y-pipe & 2.75" y-pipe back exhaust
  11. Needs spacers though
  12. http://speedhunters.com/archive/2009/07 ... -350z.aspx 3.8L Stroker kit
  13. The JUN car My 2nd favourite Z in the world
  14. Side exit Headers into straight pipes out of the front of the car
  15. MOT fail Depends who you know When I had my car dynoed with the decats in I was about 30 ft/lb down on standard. I had my car dynoed a few months ago with sports cats on & was at the same torque figure. Steve who had a different set of sport cats made similar torque figures to me Dectas are worth it for the noise alone though
  16. Ludacris - back for the first time Its been in there for over 2 years since I swapped to an Alpine h/u
