    Decided to change the suspension from my cheap “eBay” coilovers to Bilstein shocks all round with H&R springs off a E36 M3 Evo not the cheapest but it’s a lot better than what’s currently on it.

    Also making a headlight duct so I can get more air in.

    Back in to fabrication next week as well for a better breather system & catch can back into the system rather than to atmosphere and he’s also making me a intake pipe for the turbo.

    That looks mega! How about something like this to give it a bit more street presence?

    Got the car back from fabricators again today.... he loves my money...

    Had a catchcan/ washer bottle & intake pipe made.

    Going for tracking tomorrow to hopefully feel like a new car!

    Looking good mate, as usual! How's she driving with the recent modifications?

    Did you get any figures from the mapping, or has it not been finalised yet?

    She's running better with the breather system sorted now, noticed that straight away on idle really.

    No figures as of yet just bedding the engine in over 500 miles, so far im at about 300 so a little more to go im just making sure im going up and down the rev range really.

    Tracking will make a massive difference in the way it feels so cant wait to get that done now, so far both rear wheels point inwards slightly so when you reverse it kind of skips a little and its abit awkward in a car park haha

    Nice one Yeah, getting a proper geometry setup done will make a world of difference, the "skipping" in reverse sounds odd though

    200 miles left of running in?! I'd be doing that straight away Is it back to pro-tuner once you're at 500 miles?

    Any info on the 300zx slave cylinder as I was looking at the same thing but can’t see if all models run the same slave or if it’s just the turbos or naw or just a few years etc

    I say a skip it’s just a lil difficult reversing, you imagine both rear wheels pointing inwards then it’s trying to push different places... pretty sure it will be sorted once fully aligned.

    As for the 300zx slave, I have one fitted, it’s a little better but not that much better... I’m probably going to go for a nismo option if I’m honest

    Thanks for the reply I’m tempted to try one as i guess they are relatively cheap to buy
    Don’t suppose you have any details of it do you so I can talk to the motor factors

    Not done an update for a while.... not really driven it due to the weather but it’s time to service the girl... then off to the mappers had absolutely no problems what so ever with the car running it in, no leaks, no knocks no nothing... lucky or well prepared?.. I’m not sure haha



    And also bought myself a comfy daily German whip



    My unit is a little full at the minute but got the BM & RS going soon so il have a ramp installed

    Abit of an update, the car was getting quite hot under the bonnet so I decided to Ceramic Coat the turbo & wrap the manifold/ downpipe.

    Whilst the manifold was off I decided to have all surfaces skimmed as I never did it before fitting originally, although no exhaust leaks, I just did it anyway.

    Car is ready for Mapping now... unsure what power I think il get... anyone have any idea?

    Just waiting on some -AN10 braided hose to turn up as iv changed the direction of my return pipe.

    Hey bit of an update as I haven’t been on here for a while.

    So the car is running and driving still on the base map while I sorted some little issues out.

    Engine bay temps seem to be my issue at the minute so I have decided to run 2 16” fans, one at the front of the rad & one at the rear of the rad. I’ve removed the middle section of the bonnet seal to allow heat to escape out so will see how I get on with that now.

    Here’s some pics of recent

    That’s incredible some work gone into that kudos still think it would suit a Pandem wide arch kit and that satin grey paintwork
