Yes that 'little speel' is some of the best advice out there. A little bit out of date but 99% good. ECU go aftermarket LINK/Mega squirt/MOTEC Injectors go 740, 555's too small and the cost is pretty much the same. Split length down pipes and MS Manifolds good power gains. 3" dual exhaust no qu...

One of the things that has always puzzled me is the prices of the 300zx.why are they SO cheap?. There were too many made and they are too expensive to repair (especially with OEM parts) and every problem is diagnosed as a blown headgasket. I reckon once a few more thousand get destroyed it might ca...

Yeah agree parts car only (probably)

But at $1230 with a manual gearbox and aftermarket intercoolers and good wheels and tyres, well worth the money.

Need to destroy that hideous spoiler though.

I thought I recognised that dyno room and operator. Those Dynopower boys are a bit loose, posting that on Youtube.

Did you see the number of hits that video had, almost 1/2 a million.

ABS light is often a sign of low brake fluid, might want to check your power steering fluid too. Don't know about the air bag light - but maybe you have a loose electrical connection causing them all to come on intermittently.

1975 Datsun 280Z IMSA for sale on ebay

http://www.mdcracing.co.nz/IMSA280z.jpg Nice looking car and price does not look too bad. This 1975 Datsun 280Z started life as a C-Production car in California. The original owner was Roger Edsinger. After much success as a C-Production car it was built into a GT-2 car for the then new SCCA class....

Went down to Taupo on the 1st of Feb, through Tokoroa and then back through Rotorua, some roadworks, but no gravel.

Had the whole Taupo track to myself for 1/2 an hour - full A1GP track too - for only $100 including a pit garage - it was sweeeeeet.
