Yeah sorry that's my bad, A v8 is what was said and my father in law has A v8 and Paul makes more rwkws at 3000 then that v8 makes peak at the fly

That said spend the kind of coin I guesstimate Paul has making his the machine it is to a V8 and between 2-3000 rpm you'd be pissin in the wind trying to match it

Thanks Moose :).

A V8 is always gonna feel better low down on the street though. That's just how it is. It's definately nippy ;).

Haha nippy! You been hanging around me too long! My baby 270kw Evo is nippy the sperminator bitch slaps you in the forehead when she comes on! ;)

So, the dampers arrived but Dejan didn't order the pillow tops as he thought we would reuse my current ones. Only issue is, how do I sell my Nismo's without tops? Errrr. So new Bilstien ones were ordered.... Wern't cheap. Now, just my luck, the guy that assembled the dampers wants to put these tops on. Something to do with the height of something (not sure why Dejan can't put them on but anyway....). This guy however is on a flight to god knows where and won't be back till Tuesday. Grrrrr

So now the plan is, install everything on Wednesday, modify the HICAS lockout bar to move up then point the wheels in the right direction on Thursday.

Just got home after unbeaching the whale off Unigroup's shores.

Suspension feel's incredible. It's on number 2 of 8 or 9. Soaks up bumps and stuff with ease. Very progressive in how it breaks traction too. You can almost "feel" when its about to go. On hard breaking, the nervous and wandering around rear end is gone completely! Having said that, there was a few little geometry changes which would have helped eliminate that.

We ended up with spring rates of 14 kg/mm on the front and 9 kg/mm at the rear. Feels softer (and definately more compliant) than the Nismo S Tunes I had in there a few years ago.

The car is sitting fractionally lower than what it was before, but, no problems over speed humps and driveways. Thank god! I made sure Dejan knew it's not a time attack/track pig!

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
