ITS ALIVE!!!!!!

little bit of oil smoke, but might be the turbo? not sure. Pulls nicely. runs very rich though...

Where can I get it tuned? its running a vems aftermarket ECU i think, not 100% sure.

anyway, mary's happy so thats good!

Ok... so we couldn't do the Uni-Q install as the fuel pump was starting to go bottoms up...

so Ordered one from 350Z, very nice and easy install. and working 100% going to get it dynoed again soon.

pushing 150kw at the moment so hopefully can get that a bit higher soon

Well the SX is still running

hehe

it has a small missfire it seems... but will see if I can sort that out my servicing it and checking all the plugs again.

Will try and sort that out next weekend as I need to finish as much as I can on my car this weekend.
