  1. Hey Ray sad to hear you are even considering to sell the zed! You knew you were going to be asked to leave home at some point and so no panic. Did you forget yo list the KWs or did you sell tghem separately. Ultimately if you donot secure a sale ASAP consider parting out as you would get more for the car

    Nismo Exhaust

    The nismo exhaust for the 350z is discontinued and though its listed on quite a few places stateside they are not in stock. I was getting one for myself and decided to sell it even before my us contact had gotten it. He has combed high and low and no one has any stock left. Interestingly there is a great demand for it now that its gone. For those who are after the iconic Nismo zorst sound the Tanabe super medallion touring exhaust is the same design and replicates that sound perfectly and is better build quality and cheaper. So consider it.

    Camber

    It's a consequence of lowering period. You have 2 choices raise the car until you get to your desired camber eg 1.5 deg or buy adjustable front camber arms or superpro eccentric UCA bushes to replace the oem bushes which will give you a max +0.5deg camber(range +/- 0.5 deg) The cheapest way is to raise the car. The best way is to get adjustable arms, the bushes have only a small fix range and will including the labour to fit will be the worst option. FWIW -2 deg camber in front is very good for handling especially if you also have a small toe out. For reference I run -3 deg up front and the inside wear rate is not as significant as I originally feared. Get rid of that stretched tire and get the right tire for the wheel which really is the issue here!!
  5. To The Lord Mayor himself: Sir Octet of Bushey. Cu ocazia acestei zile speciale îţi urez toată fericirea din lume! Petrecere frumoasă! I hope I can trust google translate
  6. Give me a break guys! The seller said it was a 1.5way diff so why do I have to think its not? TBH reading the manual it would appear the same diff can be configured in 1, 1.5 or 2way until we saw that they were only sold to be configurable in one of two ways. All I wanted was to reduce the preload and locking but set at 1.5way and in the end I settled for 2way as it it obvious that 1way creates to much under steer on track I was not happy with. You would have all done the same so no finger pointing here rather celebrate the cohesive strength of our combined abilities. BTW I just realized most folks here would have a clue of what we are talking about as this is not the usual build or mods thread
  7. Happy doodah sir Ian of Oranjestad
  8. :lol: What a nice edit of the real story!!! You did well to remove the cursing, bitching and frustration that we all felt until we realized that fecking diff was only a 1way - 2way diff rather than the 1.5 -2way I was told it was! Anyway, as usual we always overcome all obstacles and challenges and without you guys by my side I wouldn't have attempted it in the first place. We compliment each other so well. Thanks chaps :claps: What's next? Built VQ35DE revup swap Ps. Looks like I will be changing my name to isideways with this 2 way diff. Ps2. No smurfs was child in the making of this programme Has anyone seen papa smurf BTW?
  9. Stop dreaming biaatch and hurry up and meet me in the garage. Bring some soldering tools plz.
  10. +1 Been on this juice for over 2 years now. It's ester synthetic like Motul but half the price and always comes up on sale at Opie who speak highly of it!
  11. Seriously go to RTP wembley to get this done. The sheet metal guy there is amazing and when he saw my new SEIBON vented bonnet he laughed and said he could use and OEM metal bonnet and make same vents or any other types that would look better than the SEIBON
  12. Difficult one to say but you are doing the right checks. Go methodically and you'll hit the spot. Just go round all the hose clamps tighthen/swap them iff loose or worm gear burred. the do a TB and idle volume reset. Check for any exhaust leaks especially up stream eg y-pipe cats flange. If no joy then do a compression test. You can get a kit and DIY. If there is any abnormality the pay for a leak down test. I take it the car is not smoky at idle or under load and not consuming oil. Does the car still pull or is it out of puff? Good luck and let us know how you get on.
  13. Some really nice touches there mate! I like the smoked headlights and eyebrows with nismo bumper. The wheels work very well too. Well done!
  14. Very good write up and balanced view from the owners perspective
  15. This isn't a bitch about the mods thread. Feel free to PM a member of the team with suggestions and we'll discuss it Sorry lexx but it ain't bitching. Made a simple suggestion in a thread that would be receptive. Suggestions are not secrets so why pm? No need to be abrasive. I have voted and to me there no friendly or or friendly mods doesn't mean they can't improve on the good job they do.
  16. I've got two. You can have both when we next meet
  17. Mods do a great and thankless job but can they actually let you know when they donot approve a thread Secondly, we should have a banned list so we know who had been banned, if its permanent or temporary and the reason for their ban. Eg abusive language, bullying, sales con etc. I was looking up for someone and could not find him only to speak with him that he had been banned
  18. Happy birthday Dan! Just make sure you don't revel too much tonight and loose a grip on things Couldn't resist :lol: We love you really brother!
  19. Happy birthday papa!! Hope you had a jolly good day. Best wishes.
  20. No! Price and pics will be up once I get it delivered so patience. Keep your eyes open as there is lots of interest as expected Not taking any deposits.
  21. @ SamN: thanks for the offer but I'm only interested in rears. I'm sure you can sell the fronts easy here or on fleabay. @ Rickdon: pm me what you want for them , description and your location. Thanks
  22. Read about that build on my 350z and though it appears awesome as a headline grabbing setup, its not very efficient and makes less power than a turbo or sc set up on their own. It was on a stock engine and if I remember correctly it has blown up. Good try for attempting it though.
