  1. It uses the OEM cam and over flow pipe but I have used blue silicone hose and just run it down the inner wing. The holes I have put in it, will require the the car to be drilled out after fitting, ideally if you can borrow or ask a body shop to put two nut serts in place, if not self tappers can be used. The current supra I have one in does not have holes as it sits snug between the battery and headlight, im sure a couple of other supra are doing the same with these. If you wish to put holes in after and want them left blank that will be fine just let me know
  2. these come off my old supra found them in the shed today, worked well at the time change them for a brembo setup make me an offer john
  3. I built this after 2 years of owning one, it was great fun at the time but looking back now I wish I had of spent the money on a supra as you get so much more for your money. The 300zx is a pig to work on, you need special hands to get to anything in the engine bay, i was forever working on it, it did make a nice paper weight for the drive best thing to do if you get one is buy a manual as the gearbox conversion will be worth something like the supra. Soon as the turbos blow break it, as its an eninge out job to change them.
  4. Really well organised Si thanks I now have a bench mark to have the car finnished by
  5. I noticed the blowing noise just as I was pulling away from the pits to make my way home, I did not ground out on any speed humps on the way in though as this ones a little higher off the ground than my last, and I took the humps at an angle. looking at the origional welding on the casting its not got much meat to it
  6. no idea mate it was a tt engine if its any help
  7. It was a brown trouser moment welded the housing up today going to inspect it tomorrow once its cooled to make sure its not cracked but seemed to take well, Its just changing the clutch im not looking forward too what a poxy job to do on the drive
  8. no its not got one mate, will have to make one up. the origional welding on it does not look that beefy I guess this and the bracket did not help
  9. yes mate, previous owner recons it done less than a 1000 miles its cracked it all round the weld
  10. Will do mate, its come out really well. I was supprised to see the camera still attached when we got back in the pits Dont think ill be using a motocross helmet in one of them again though was picking dirt out of my eyes for the rest of the day
  11. Since buying the car I have spent hours prepping it ready for this day managed to get it mapped by ryanG two days before the event, it made 511bhp at 1.2 bar all was going well and looked good for the day untill setting off in the morn for the event when half hour into the drive the clutch started to slip It then become difficault to select gears as the clutch started to drag. got to the point where I was going to give up an head for home, I was gutted but after thinking about it and all the time spent on getting it ready, I though fook it im going. Took it easy and made it there. I desided I would let it stand for a while let the clutch cool down then take it on the track for a bit, took it on the track managed 3 laps before it started to slip but this made my day could not get the hang of drifting it though, my old one was effortless but this one fights it all the way, the small steering wheel has to go as thats not helping After going out I wanted to go out in a few others. Mike B let me come out in his 600bhp supra running on racing slicks, could not believe how well set up the car is, great power and the handling was mental some corners I thought the back would break out but it just flew round them god knows how fast we were taking them he was picking off cars left, right and center, out cornering lotus elises, with nothing passing us, I loved it Had a burn up with michels supra on a straight aswell which was good fun. After going out in that, Ryan G took me out in his kitcar, I loved every minute of it, so bloody quick and the handling on this was mental, very tempted to sell up and get one myself with a sensible runabout, got some great film of it im trying to upload at the mo. It was coming up to the end of the day my car had sat there most of it I desided to take it out one last time my mate si who had come with my mate rob in his skyline asked it he could come out in it as he had never been in a supra before. After a couple of laps on the track I over done it on the main straight, lost the back end on the supra at around 80mph ended up spinning out of control but fortunatly there was no one in my way. Done a 180 spin an off we went again done a couple more laps then said to me mate ill do one last lap then head back to the pits. Coming down another straight on the track was doing around 140mph started to slow down when all of a sudden the brake pedal hit the floor I pumped the brake but nothing just kept hitting the floor at this point im doing around 90-100mph I was fast aproaching the corner with no chance of getting round it, all I could do was smash through the cones, then swerve the car and pull a hand brake turn. Come to a stop with no one hurt, got out the car to find aload of brake fluid over one of the front wheels, limped it back to the pits and removed the wheel to find the banjo bolt loose on the caliper:blink: I cant work out why the car lost all braking as I take it the supras run a dual braking circuit? Got all packed up just about to leave when I could hear the exhaust blowing under the bonnet, i thought the V band clamp had snapped, took a look under the bonnet to find this going to take it into work tomorrow and weld it up, never seen this before though. Overall had a great day got to meet a load more people and go out in some great cars, JamieP's car is mental sounded like an aeroplane hooning around, looked great fun. Pigs car had to be the loudest there the t5 volvo estates looked like they wernt hanging about. Gutted for Gaz dont know how you have not set fire to it or did you do it on purpose to get out of racing me got some great pics and videos im trying to upload hope to have them up tonight if not they will be done tomorrow. I now have the nice job of removing the gearbox and replacing the clutch again But ill be back ready for the next one

  18. Met Ryan last night at Surry rolling road to fully map my car and set the boost controller, after he worked his magic its like driving a new car, more responsive, quieter, idles better, but most of all fook me does it go It made 511.6hp at 1.2bar, Ryan told me I will need a bigger map sensor as the one on it was maxing out preventing him from running more boost ill buy one of these in the next few months along with some hks cams then be back for some more mapping Thanks for all your help mate
  19. Just finnished packing mine had a last minute rush getting it mapped last night, just made a camcorder mount for inside the car, removed the rear seats and a few other bits, spare tyres are in so im ready to go
  20. Ill probs have room in mine for a couple if your stuck mate, Just got hold of some part worns for mine after finding out the price of a new set tad expensive for what I have planned for them
  21. I have spoken with Doug (class one) about doing a group buy on these and it has been approved I will be doing a group buy on an mirror finnish, high grade aluminium radiator expansion tank. These tanks will use the oem cap and fit snug between the battery and headlight. I have been making these tanks for a while now after searching the internet for something to replace the oem unit, I found they were hard to come by. I have made a few of these up for several members cars im sure they will leave feedback. They make a nice finnishing touch to any engine bay. I can supply an unlimited amount of these but require a min of 10 to start. Cost will be £60 + £8 P&P. Paypal accepted [email protected] or a cheque (pm for my addy) any questions just ask;) £50 + £8 P&P for non polished tanks Names below 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10)
