Hi lads,

Think I've stumbled upon a car sale scam. To keep it short and sweet:

1, person lived in EIRE now moved back to the UK with a 2002 Z that's still EIRE reg.

2, Selling now in UK to EIRE for 3.5k

3, going to use 'ebay' as a middle man.

This stinks scam and just want to know what to do next?

What do mean "tuned"

 

I average 8km/l since purchase and 10 km/l sounds lovely.

 

Please elaborate!

eh not entirely true. When I first got it with std ecu I'm not sure what mileage I was getting (never bothered checking I think) now when I've got Haltech platinum 350z ecu I got it tuned with E5 and (ethanol 5%) it gave me the pre value and after I got it retuned (last week) I now get the new value.

# it might be due to three other things too: (making the egine easier to breath)

new Kinetix SSV manifold

new BERK cats

new custom 2.5"*2 exhaust system. (two pipes from catback)

The tuner did make it a bit 'lean' (I think around the normal driving conditions for me! lovely!)

Need to figure out how long it will take me before I actually make back the price for the tune

yeah i do, ones the jdm sat nav dvd drive which is useless, and the other is a mini disk changer which is also useless because i dont actually own a mini disc

lol so I've not reason to miss them! thanks.

is this an inside joke that only people with +1000 posts get?

after I got my car retuned it now gives me:

 

10.2 km/l instead of 6.4km/l... need to do a few 'normal' drives to get a more accurate consumption but it looks awesome! motorway cruising (130-140km/h) I had 14.4km/l !!!! amazing!

 

whats that in normal terms,

 

i'm not very eurofied, need it mpg, kmpl is just french to me

Its not even europe its japanese stuff hmm so is that l / km.... better go and check!

before tune: 6.4km/l = 18.0788mpg

after tune motorway speeds (130-140) 14.4km/l = 33.8709mpg

after tune a bit of a mix of both 10.2km/l = 23.9919mpg

I'm happy with those nr's... and thats by no means 'slow' driving.

Hi and welcome to the forum! It's an import from JDM market thats been written off? you might be better getting one straight from there yourself if thats the case for a cheaper penny thats not been crashed?

 

Mine has not got any special work to under the car (as the scandianavian countries do they put this weird looking dark 'tar' stuff under it) They got salt on the roads in Japan too so I wouldn't worry about it like I would if I got a car from the states....

 

Saw this on in IRE:

http://www.carzone.ie/search/Nissan/350 ... annel=CARS

 

not sure what that would cost you to get over, I've sent a Q to the guy... could take of the RIM's and brakes and stick on my car

 

G'luck!

hmm might be a scam the car is now gone from carzone but the owner contacted me... might be worth a look

Forgot to mention, if you still get soft pedal with the Motul oil, then you should try the Castrol SRF racing brake oil. This is the same oil we use on our race car and we have tried everything on the market, this is the only oil that won't give you soft pedal after a hot session.

i ll keep that in mind!

How are they doing on the car mate? Give us a report back after some abuse!

Hey, nice job!

Just saw that you got two 'devices' between the two rear speakers. What are they? Just realized that I got only two gaping holes there!!!

Some meet! don't think there are 50Z's in Eire!

Will be cool to watch the photo shoot from this one!!

A.

they've should have gone 4.2

you do the republic?

welmoe to the forum +1 on the front bumper.

some car, some pricetag!

like the engine bay, the heat wrap on the exhaust is that really needed so far down?

love the wheels, I'd do the mod to the e-brake/hand-brake for sure!

...why pay 250k for it.... not sure ....

like the wheels too... what are they?

If you can have a look at the pics guys i think the discs were fitted the right way round...you can check it from the positioning of the slots...

Not if the image Alex posted up is correct (which it is). Slots should be aiming forwards, yours clearly aren't. Also, I can't even see any slots on your LHS rear, although that might be the camera angle.

 

Last thing i need shims or smth for the pads....is it adam that does those titanium ones??? I need them for friday...

Yes, and they're things of beauty, and you've precious little hope of getting them for Friday unless you want to pay Adam silly money for next-day FedEx delivery or similar. Why Friday? Can you not put this all off until you've got everything together and can do it properly?

put of racing??! guess thats whats on the cards here never!

ive had no problems at all with the car! ive had it for bout 7 months now! The mechanic has checked almost everything and still no joy! I was driving and then i went thru sum heavy rain and all of a sudden the power goes, slip, tcs off and engine management light come on and it struggles 2 move! i was driving for a gud 2 hours b4 this happend

Check the air mass meter and clean if needed mine was completely BLACK. Does it only happen when it's raining? Mine it didnt happen to during rain. Could be some electric 'misshap' Afraid I cannot help you more there. (maybe take it to another tech?)

A/

get a custom system built...

 

Or not if you want performance

 

Off the shelf exhausts are often designed and tested with a certain car to give the correct flow etc... no custom exhaust place does / is able to do that.

Thats not what my current tuner said, enough flow through the exhaust on mine (dyno proven...so)

Of the shelf exhausts are made to make € and sound not just HP... ?

The mechanic has tried that! he said it mite be summat 2 do with the abs

hmmm dont think so to be honest, have had nothing wrong with my abs but I've got that stuff happen to me a couple of times. (2-3) Thought it might have had something to do with the current map I was running/confusing the ecu. What mods are you running? Have you done a clean of the air mass meter? Mine gets a bit dirty from some of the return oil coming back into the intake, could be that cutting of the petrol problem? Tell me some background of the car?
