This must be the most pointless thread ever The OP has got the blinkers on! Get the price down to 12k and then get an inspection. If not pay the extra 2k and get that original yellow one you were discussing about.

Yea the intake is up to you, you already know the pros and cons of each. Ive just purchased an Injen CAI just for sound and gains, hydrolock is a worry but if your careful im sure it will be fine.

Define by what 'you' mean as stage 3 would be the best thing.

 

Stage1:

Grounding Kit

Air Filter

Hoses\Locks

Engine Damper

Short Shift

 

Stage 2:

Cat Back Exhaust

HFC \ De Cats

Plenum Spacer

Performance Radiator

Unless your going FI i wouldnt bother with a lot of that! For your best gains N/A i would go for:

Upgraded exhaust and Y pipe, Decats/High flow cats, Intake, plenum spacer. Then Remap

Been surprised by this too - albeit on a much lower priced item. It's basically ebay's policy to make sure you put in an as high initial value to your item as you can, so that they can collect the higher fee.

 

But Zedrush, don't despair, you are way too early in your auction:

 

- first, never respond to "can I buy it now" requests if an auction is ongoing - more often than not it's someone trying to avoid competition and you'll end up losing money. Nobody is really desperate to buy on ebay, there's always something else on sale

 

- secondly for sure that the highest bid will go up significantly in the last 5 minutes of the auction, as 95% of ebay buyers put sniping bids only these days.

 

- you already have a bid for 1.7k which means you'll get at least that much

 

- ebay is still the best place to sell second hand cameras and get your money's worth

Having just sold 5 items on ebay heres my response:

I had a buy it now offer provided to me but let the offer run the auction... it ended up being £100 less, it also only went up £1 on a £350 item in the last 5 minutes. Another item was bidded on for the starting price which is all i wanted, a day before the auction ended the bid was re tracted?? so its not a case of someone has bid 1.7k thats what you will get. There are also a lot of scammers on ebay as another item was won by someone who then messaged me saying he wouldnt have the cash for 2 months??

Having also said that "nobody is desperate to buy on ebay, theres always something else on sale" means its very saturated with second hand goods which means no your not going to achieve a good price even on second hand cameras.

Ebay has gone down hill rapidly.

Take it off the site saying the camera is now broken and sell it privately to this other fella for your asking price. Might sound mean but ebay are a bunch of thieves!

Or do you mean second hand?

And some end links

Get the tape measure out mate i have a lip on mine and theres no chance of that getting over. I should think standard you would be ok depending on how high the curb is

"Style" is the key word there.

Think Mike has sumed it up nicely. The end links are the problem on mine and it makes a similar knocking noise.

I say we do a drive by

+3 for sure!

1) back box connection

2) BOSE

3) rear CV joints

4) door cards

5) End links

6) Window Motors

Looks good mate

shouldnt think you will have much trouble in getting them replaced if they were sold as a 350z fit.

That looks Always liked the Capri

Performance and cost go hand in hand, simples. If you can afford the extra get the EBC or Ferodo, being able to stop more efficiently is quite high on my priorities list.

Should be going with the Injen to Abbey 3rd March.

Isn't that the INGS spoiler like what Fiddy has?

+1

Thanks for the graphs. Very good gains to be had - there's certainly a huge difference from ~3500 revs onward in both torque and bhp. Thanks was exactly the kind of info I was looking for, cheers

 

Cookiemonster, definitely let us know how you get on too and how your car feels after fitting the decats with Uprev Looks like I'll be at Abbey just a few days before you. Pity, would have liked to have heard your Z with the Japspeed decats with Nismo and your white Z in your sig looks stunning. Is it really all white vinyl? Very nice.

Will do mate, I'm hoping it will work well. Thanks for the comments always appreciated

Yea Abbey will be the place, had my coilovers sorted there and was well impressed. Just speak with Mark about it and see what he says, going on others results the decats should improve torque as long as you get the remap done. If you have the cash ask about the new decats they are bringing in for testing.

You are looking at Japspeed then, not particular amazing quality but good pieces of kit which alot of members run. I have the K1 but thats a bit hardcore for what your after, I think the japspeed Y-pipe is around £180 and the K2 is £300 ish.

 

Have a wee looky at this : viewtopic.php?f=62&t=23989

ive got a k1 (although really really tempted to trade in - damnnnnnnnn vibrations and 2-3k rev noise) BUT what actually is the purpose of the Y Pipe?

Connects the 2 cats to the single mid pipe which then connects to the back box.

Unless you go for a true dual system which has 2 mid pipes connecting to 2 cans at the end instead of a back box.

Ive got the Nismo, decats are going on next week along with Injen CAI, plenum spacer and im having the uprev done 3rd of March hopefully so can prob give you an answer then.

Right i am proper confused ..... dont have a zed yet but looking to buy very soon. Would it be worth getting the 276 or 296 engine bearing in mind i want it mapped ? Would i be able to gain the 20bhp difference if i went for the 276 ? and whats the expected bhp/ftlb of a 276 with say a cat back exhaust, filter and remap ? And the same on a 296 what could be expected ? Sorry

Really depends on your budget, if you can afford the newer model i would say get it. The cars pretty well tuned from standard so the gains you will make are minimal, more importantly the uprev makes the car much more "driveable" by giving 100% WOT when you want it and provides a smoother power curve on the dyno. Remember all cars will start with different figures from factory, so were one car may make a 20bhp increase another might only make 10, all cars are different.

Im pretty sure if you look in Abbeys threads they have a list of maps with different mods on.

or look here for an example of 3FIDDYZ results
