(Long story) My TTZ had a head gasket issue and a timing issue (ie-head gasket failure, timing belt off a tooth, turbo piping leaks, cooling problems(damn electric fan), etc., etc.) which all needed to be addressed. Believe me when I tell you, My Z needed a lot of issues fixed including a fresh build on the motor and everything in between. I ordered all parts needed, "Oem" or "aftermarket," including Wiseco Pistons, MS mani's, 700bb Turbos, 740cc Inj, misc other parts, etc, etc through Specialty Z and as always, they came through for me flawlessly. Greg and Seb also did the tuning in De. yesterday and I was very happy with the numbers that were put down. I will get to that at the end of this post. Hopefully Seb can post up my dyno sheet and send me an email of the dyno sheet?? :) Thanks Greg and Seb. You guys were very knowledgeable and helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Tony Myrie from "Bams Automotive" in Phila, Pa. did all the motor/mechanical work and attacked all issues and it runs and sounds perfect. He is very "thorough and knowledgeable." I FINALLY found someone local who has vast experience with Nissans, Z's and "race" platforms all in one place. He is a Nissan Master tech since 1985, and has major experience in the race world along with owning his own 700+ rwhp Z and misc other ridiculously fast toys(turbo charged Hyabusa, 7 sec Chevelle, etc etc.) Add all that to his "master tech cert" since '85 for Nissan and you have the perfect Z mechanic. A mixture of Greg and Seb from Specialty Z and Tony Myrie from Bams Automotive really made me comfortable with the build this time around. They all have a genuine concern for other peoples cars like they were their own and all of their knowledge individually is insane, let alone when they are all together. Thank you very much Specialty Z(ie- Greg, Seb, Jonathon) and Bams Automotive (ie-Tony Myrie) and of course Matt @ "Performance Evolution" for his dyno and services.. Any one of these 3 companies CAN be trusted and are "aces" to deal with and genuinely have a "passion" for cars, especially the Nissans and specifically Z's of course. Cant forget to thank also Shawn (Kong 300zxtt) and YugoBernie VA for his mechanical prowess/parts and experience and help and Dee Ridgeway(Devils Z) for putting together the dyno session and of course TT.net.. Now on to the dyno numbers, yesterday I pulled 514 rwhp on pump gas 93 octane, 448 tq with a stock block(as much as possible) with the exception of Wiseco 87.5mm pistons and lil head work. Stock cams, rods, ic piping, etc. I will post a dyno sheet up once I get it emailed from Seb or Greg.. Thanks again and sorry for the long post...It was a long time coming. Happy Z-ing..
