  1. I've got the same problem. Glyn Hopkins took photos about two weeks ago and I'm still waiting. There's quite a bit of a post over on http://forums.DELETED.com/inde ... l=bubbling if you're interested. Cheers
  2. Hi Baptist I am going to have the true dual exhaust fitted + tall boy plenum at the same time the TT kit goes on. Thanks for the concern. Cheers
  3. Hi prescience Pretty much all web (google) based research for the past 6 months, I'm no petrolhead/engineer but am reasonably logical with a scientific bent. Looked at all the forums and Info I could find. At the end of the day, I really do like the Z but just wanted more performance and was on the verge of selling it until I saw the APS kit ... I could still be taking a risk but at the end of the day, you only live once and I'm pretty lucky to have a decent job and no mortgage so decided to to go for it. Sorry if this doesn't help you but that's all I know. Cheers
  4. Hi Mark Well, decided to take the plunge and ordered the kit/install from Allan at WRC back in July. Had to wait quite a while without knowing what was happening which was down to the company shipping the kit over. Not Allen's fault. But finally, last week Allan called to say it was in and I drove the 100 miles from Stanford to Silverstone on Saturday to drop the car off. Must say I really enjoyed the off-motorway bits of the drive as I don't often get an excuse to go any distance in the Z (apart from the 40Mph restriction on the M1!! mind you the cruise control took care of that!). Allan showed me a printout from what I remember (was slightly nervous, never done this before :0) was your torque/power graph .... impressive , 408bhp with a fat 400lbs torque curve from pretty low down revs. There was also someone else there just picking up the kit to fit themselves (not something I would consider doing) I was just wondering (to feed my anticipation!) while I'm waiting for the work to be done (should be about 2 weeks if all goes well) how you are getting on with the APS and when/if you are getting the dual cats fitted. Cheers
  5. sorry . meant to say I'm paying 650 for the stock car... 840 doesn't seem to be a lot more for a TT conversion.. Just thought it may help you save a few pennies...
  6. Hi Emporer ming. I've just ordered the APS TT kit for my 350z (sold a couple of kids!!!) I'm around the same age as you 45 and just got a quote from Sky insurance. Living on the outskirts of London (currently paying £650 through Admiral) . Qute from Sky was £840 after 430BHP upgrade so you might want to give them a try, http://www.skyinsurance.co.uk/?gclid=CP ... EAodBy_dEw Cheers
  7. Oh sorry, just thought of something else .... did you have a guage fitted so you could monitor the boost ?
  8. Well, I'm just about to see when I can get the car booked in to WRC for the conversion. Sorry, but I have another question for you urbanmyth. I'm not much of a petrolhead and have been reading through the APS site about exhausts and how restrictive exhausts (i.e. cat) can affect the boost + raise the temperature on internals. I guess the larger APS sump probably helps to dissapate that heat as well as supply the turbos but did you keep the stock cats ? Also did you have test pipes fitted ? Cheers
  9. I'm in Stanford Le hope. Cheers
  10. Hi urbanmyth I'm seriously thinking of doing the APS conversion( 54 GT Orange) . Just got a reply back from WRC and it'll cost 7k inc vat + they take from 7-10 days to do the conversion. The only real problems I've read about on the web is traction on the stock tyres. I was wondering if you are experiencing that Cheers
