What have you done to your zed today? Part 2............

Not installed yet but decided on and bought new steering wheel, cluster, carbon fibre finished parts and real tan leather to cover the cloth interior. I'm trying to decide whether covering the Recaros with black leather is a sin or not.

Otherwise I might leave the Recaros how they are and since it's a black car I think tan leather could be very stylish.

 

Alot more than that

 

You could do this... :br:

Not as bolt on as 2871's but where is the fun in that

 

I see, well I might just leave them oem or re-cover the centre cushions in plain black fabric so they contrast better with the tan leather, that way I could re-cover the rear seat in the same black fabric.

 

ohhhh please tell me they are td06?

 

Nope... Garett BB 3071r's with .64 Exhaust Housings, got em cheap so I thought what the hey.

 

even better! gonna produce some awesome power on your motor

 

It will be interesting, there are so many conflicting opinions on how effective these Turbos are on these engines.

I will have a 23psi boost limit... for a couple of reasons:

1. The compressor map indicates compressor surge issues with boost above this ( due to the small Exhaust Housings )
2. Want the engine to have reasonably long-ish life.
3. Can't be assed buying a bigger MAP Sensor

Well 3 reasons.

 

My Regamaster Evos arrived today!!!!!!!!!

Words can't describe my excitement right now....These weight almost nothing (not that I'm after performance).

These were intended for the rear but IF I can get my hands on some 18x10.5s, these bad boys will move to the front.

F&%k Yeah! :zlove:

2 Rims
18x9.5 + 35

 

woww!

 

...and the dome centre caps :zlove:

 

funny we make 249HP in a CA18DET datsun 1200 coupe at 12psi boost

 

Actually 260.6 hp is a bit on the low side for stock turbos, extra boost, a tune and basic mods.

Check out the results of the recent UAS dyno day

http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?t=325646

Stock turbo's got 252.1rwkw (337 rwhp), 228.5 rwkw (306 rwhp), 199.8 rwkw (267 rwhp).

 

No tune. Stock map. Hasn't been touched

 

Neither had the 199.8kw or the 228.5kw one.

Marcus just found out that his cars (199.8kw) timing is way out, so it should be up around the 220 mark now

 

I do have to admit that my engine is very tired. Ie 8psi of oil pressure at idle. Hence the rebuild. Being auto probably doesn't help either

Always knew it was going to be on the low side Hp wise.

I also noticed that boost creeped off to about 11psi too.

 

I want to do another dyno day

 

Today I:

• Serviced the TT
• Washed the NA
• Installed new leather Steering wheel, series 4 shift knob, new handbrake lever, and new gear and handbrake boots to the NA
• Installed leather seats into the NA
• Installed my Bride GIAS seats into the TT
• Installed MOMO steering wheel and Nismo gear knob into the TT
• Took the NA for a little cruise

Overall, pretty productive.

Too bad you're a QLDer, so it doesn't count
