  1. I sell dope. Bought the 350z for a laugh but the glove box at the back is really handy.
  2. A quote from Mr Nissan himself, went something like "Anyone who thinks a supercar needs to be lightweight doesn't know what they are talking about" This was when designing the GTR R35. Maybe so. But that's why owning a lighter car than is more fun. I'd rather be going slower in a Lfa or 458 than a heavy r35 personally. What's the jukes excuse thats not a super car.
  3. I don't get why Nissan loves lightweight here. I thought you learn from Motorsport and put it in road cars. But the road cars see getting heavier lol.
  4. Something just to take off the finger prints. Editor fitted or as in once on the car clean them?
  5. I've been told the rev up revs differently after an uprev. So an uprev'd rev up will rev differently to a uprev'd non rev up when you give it some revs.
  6. Rev up is the engine with 296bhp. Up rev is tuning software.
  7. I'm sure you posted a while back that driving in a high gear taxes the valve train more. I would like to know a little more as you seem to know your stuff Never would have said that fella, stress on valve train reduces as the RPM rises, its the old reciprocal mass thing, the slower it moves the more force is required to move it, and as the valve train is moving at half the engine RPM...... Its not that an engine left to idle on a regular basis is going to fail, its just going to show considerable more valve train wear than an engine that's not, and likely need to have valve clearance's adjusted/shimmed more frequently, and the cam belt/chain will also require more frequent replacement. Fair enough. Must have got it wrong. I read up do you think this person was wrong? "Are any of you aware that an engine is under more strain at lower RPMs and particularly at idle, the whole valve train is under the most strain at idle and low RPM. If you then add the drive train into the equation, and then add in the inertial shock resulting from continually making small throttle adjustments to a 1.5 ton brick thats attached, not to mention the effects on fuel consumption."
  8. CS Is in east midlands I'm sure.
  9. In canada in the colder parts they have plug in oil and coolant heaters too I'm sure.

    VIP 350Z

    I love it. I love it because it cool. I also love it because he has actually modded his car. Doing the things your told to do and staying away from things because people tell you to do isn't modding. This guy has made his car his own, made it suit him and I think the car should be whatever YOU wan the car to be. Not everyone buys a 350z to drive about fast for alot of people its the smooth torque or the aesthetics. Only the closed minded people write things off.

  12. When I was mad keen on getting a Clio 182, their forums also recommended not leaving the car running stationery... even when scraping the car on a frosty morning as it could increase engine ware. It was to do with the dephaser pulley which if went was a cambelt out job, which is a massive job. I think, could be wrong.
  13. and if you hit someone? Your no better than the people who cant drive IMO. Lol at too much torque. You must be the only person in the world to have a sub 0-60 7 sec and drive it in winter. There is no one else in the world running more power than you. Japan and Germany make cars that are completely unsuitable and unusable 6 months of the year for their home markets.
  14. Absolute waste of money - do they really help... I doubt it. Plus its just confusing if you have never seen it before.
  15. Also they use fog lights as cornering lights so one side will come on and off as your turn. Looks weird.
  16. Why have only 2? The problem with fwd cars in the snow is if the back end comes out which with no weight and if on snow no winter tyres you won't be able to catch it?

    Milestone

    I enjoy alot of your posts. So I hope you have a lot more to come.
  18. The thing with LEDs is they can be lower wattage but they are more concentrated with their beam. You use a traditional bulb it will shine light everywhere but it will be soft but LEDs are harsher looking as they don't disperse light like bulbs.
