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.
