  1. Turbo upgrade/replacement options?

    So I've grenaded my passenger side stock turbo (RHD model, so that would be drivers side for my US friends). Warranty is not an option, and I was on the E85 path anyway, so I figure I'd look for upgrades. I've known about the Pure 700's for a while, but was hoping AMS might have a release date...
  2. Stage 1 done and dyno'd (sample videos within)

    I have been building this up slowly, and testing a lot inbetween modifications, but I'm happy to say that I think I've finished with my 'Stage 1' mods. I had no pre-planned order to approach this, but just wanted to change one thing at a time that I felt the car needed. In order, this was: *...
  3. Playing dress ups with the engine.

    Don't look too close, some of this is just a trial run. For anyone interested though: Z1 Carbon Radiator/Air Guide Z1 Carbon Intakes Z1 Billet oil cap (black) Nismo Carbon Engine Cover (red stripe and vents painted Ikazuchi Yellow) Stock strut, painted Ikazuchi Yellow (yes... I chipped the...
  4. Hood/bonnet gas struts?

    Anyone know of any gas struts that would work in the hood/bonnet? I would guess that it's probably the same that would fit a 370Z, but thought I'd check with the brains trust before picking some up. This dinky stalk think looks shit, and pisses me off with it's cheapness. EDIT: I did look at...
  5. Cosmis Wheels

    Met a fellow Z enthusiast and distributor of Cosmis Wheels here in Australia. He wanted to test some new designs on the Z to check calliper clearances etc. These are just test rims - rubber was all wrong, and they are just clear coated (ie, colour is far from final). Still... thought I'd share...
  6. Z1 Intake install

    How. The. F**k.... do I get this f**king clip off...? I can unseat either side, but the MAF housing won't come free of the turbo inlet tube... https://photos.app.goo.gl/hSiB8yZhmy5wc1aj7
  7. Proto Z's Photo Log

    Finally got the kids to bed at a reasonable time and went out to grab some night shots. Always happy to hear thoughts, comments, suggestions (esp for different angles etc - never really shot cars before...)

  9. Painted Engine Brace

    Was playing with mixing up the factory colour codes, and thought... what the hell, may as well paint something to bling this engine bay up a bit... Not sure how I feel yet, but I have some carbon goodies coming from Z1, so I'll reserve judgement for when it's all in there. Still... for anyone...
  10. Custom 3.5" by Rob Bliss Performance Exhaust

    Heya everyone, thought I'd post a quick sound comparison of a custom 3.5" cat-back vs stock (both 6MT). It's currently cat-back, but we are deleting the secondary cats next week. I'm doing this in stages to test both sound and dyno numbers. I'm very much looking for a good quality sound over...
  11. My Z Proto on MCA Suspension Reds, with Stanceparts Air Cups and 1" drop

    Very happy with new MCA coilovers in my Z. Cornering tips in much quicker now, and I can really feel the limit of the stock rubber (soon to be gone). Straight line acceleration is much more compliant too - doesn't feel like to squats on it's rear haunches before bolting. Everyday driving is a...
