well i still looking fuh the 300zx brakes, them thing hard to find boi, i have to make ah pass in the bamboo when i have sum free time. i still shocked that ah man on maxima.org pay $40US for ah pair ah calipers Crying or Very sad

ah finally get time to go by the fella to check up for the cold air, its going to be ah true cold air, inside the fender, when we're finished the filter would be a little higher than the alternator so no worries with flood Razz

i have to get ah 45* and ah 90* bend. i ah lil skeptical about the 90* but thats what is needed so i have to use it. i have to source the piping cuz the guy pays too much for his and i can get it cheaper on tuner Laughing

only thing is i have to wait to get it done, cuz next week he has a couple cars to tune so he dosent have time Mad

anyways i getting the piping on wednesday, i not using polished cuz i not ah fan of bling and no sting Laughing

plus the un-polished a lot cheaper.

most likely i will install the original factory air box with original filter and go on the dyno on saturday. to get a base reading for all my future mods. i want to do a dyno run every time i do something majour. cold air is coming soon and the headders and cat back should be done by year end. i shouldnt be in the country for about the first 3 months of next year so i trying to get as much done now as possible.
i also going to change oil and thing the weekend. this is ah hectic weekend with things to do on that car, i just hope i could get eveything done. Neutral

rodney is cacasplat3@hotmail.com

hmmmmmm well pressure jed!!
i went by W2J today, and he dosent have the piping, cuz it stuck on the port. he has un-polished piping coming in so i think i'll wait until he get it, cuz is like $85 ah piece ah pipe by him and like 150-200 ah piece by other ppl.
i using t-bolt clamps but i'll get those when i get the piping. as for the hoses, all i getting is high pressure hoses which is like over-kill for my application, i'll check trinidad hose on friday and see what hoses they have, and depinding on the outcome of that i'll know what to buy.

as for the dyno. well hmmmmmm i eh know wah going on cuz i real get tied up but sure sure it will happen.

rodney thanks for the vids, but that price way to high for me cuz right now i looking fuh performance. Twisted Evil

Chiney I eh no yet. Me an de mech was lookin at some pics because is from a LHD i gettin it from, so that means there master cylinder on de left side. But he say it would fit.

Dread i was reading on maxima.org that u expect a 30% power loss with a auto as compared to 15% with manual. So they have been getting 168WHP on auto's even though the motor rated at 255HP.

But they also say u can get 20+Hp with exhaust and CAI bolt on's. As a matter of fact there are guys on the forum gettting more than the stock HP rating of 255 with bolt on's. It seems that the stock profile limits the engine so if u guys get some quality exhaust headers with a 2-2.25 exhaust diameter and CAI u on like corn!! I shooting for a 3" diameter exhaust Twisted Evil

oh i forgot to ask, chiney wah kind ah hose connectors u used on your intake? i getting low pressure for $50 ah piece and high pressure for $65 sumwhere else, then it have sum ppl selling high pressure for 120-200 ah piece. the high pressure i getting for $65 is TurboXS, so i wondering if i should just buy what's good and done or pay a little less for sumthing less storng but not over-kill Neutral

depending on alluh response here i will contact the seller, so alluh is the deciding factor #Fade in

well i got the K&N cleaning kit today, oil filter,. mobil1 10W30 oil, new wipers, front upper strut bar, a trottle body cleaner and a lighter pocket Laughing

the oil ah lil bit on the expensive side @ $65 ah quart, which i think i could get at other places a little cheaper, next rounds i'll look around more Mr. Green

well i installed the strut bar, but didnt get to test the car as i wanted, cuz the road was a bit busy and the road was ah lil wet, but from the little driving i did it does quite a lot, especially on corners when the brakes are applied. IMO its a must get #Fade in

i'll change oil tomorrw and clean the filter, along with the trottle body.

went to trinidad hose to see if i got the connector hoses and t-bolts for the intake
but they dont have and i checked a popular car parts place in south and the connector hoses are $40 an inch(3 inches min. for one connector is needed) and t-bolts were $50 a piece Neutral

pics of the strut bar installed to be posted tomorrow Razz

^^^^^ thanks will consider it next oil change. the mobil1 is overpriced but its manufacture recommended. that's the only reason i switched from the castrol gtx to the mobil1 10W30

well i cleaned my filter today and it still wet, so i go have to apply the oil tomorrow and then re-install, i cleaned the trottle body, and shitt that thing was stink, it was black and varnished on grime and sludge, i think all of it is blow by that accumulated there. Neutral
