    Tein coilovers and standard TT diff, not exactly drag equipment. Our local 1/8th purpose built track in Portland hooks up pretty good though. Last time i ran the manual i was pulling 1.5 + 1.6 60' times, on street radials, which is awesome compared to other tracks where i was getting 2.1 + 2.2's.

    The manifolds came with the turbos when i bought them second hand years ago. They are stainless steel manifolds.

    Not with this car. It will always remain a streeter.

    Plenty of street cars getting around with holes in bonnets, aircleaners/bug catchers hanging out, scoops mounted on bonnets. I will have mine covered, just haven't found the right thing yet.

    Manifolds

    Stainless manifolds will crack. Especially if Greddy ones. IF you want this sorted call or email me sales@300zx.com.au

    After some stuffing around, it finally started making some power again, got up to 360rwkw at 19psi boost and only 6 degrees cam timing before it blew out a gasket on the wastgate and started loosing boost. Waiting on new gaskets to turn up and making a couple more changes then back to Melbourne for another tune. Should make heaps more power with more cam timing and boost.
