Well done Ian, Congrats. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That's weird they called me today asking if I'd sent my old struts to them, something about wanting to copy something. The lad didn't sound like he had a clue, all very strange. I've been waiting weeks now.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Syvecs and dyno time :-)

Just getting some quotes from places nearby, ask Scoobyclinc in Chesterfield. Just waiting for them to come back to me.

That's only because you helped to get to that number took your advise and like I'd said so far tyre wear seems fine and the backend feels spot on to me. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

This is mine mate Also got BC coilovers fitted, feels really good on the track. Wheels are 18s Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm getting costs for the Syvecs, think I'm going to go for it... Mainly in preparation for forced induction Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What Andriod stick are you using? Might get a android myself, sounds like a good idea.

Ordered my SGS engineering boot struts, not cheap but sick of the boot hitting me on the head! will post up what they're like. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Did you go full kit all over? Did you change them becuase the others were worn, or just because you hoped they'd feel better? Nice vid RobboðŸ‘. @ Stu; the front bushes are the ones that commonly fail but all OEM rubber bushes fail to various degrees over time. Shrinking, perishing/cracking, tearing and full blown separation are all degrees of bushing failure. Therefore depending on the degree of failure you may get minimal symptoms or knocking to outright diabolical handling! If you consider that most zeds are over 10yrs old there are a lot out there that would benefit with bushing changes. There is nothing wrong with the OEM bushes except they are to soft and allow excessive mov't which dulls handing and eventually they will fail again bring made of rubber. Secondly the compression arm design was poor which leads to premature compresion bush failure. This issues was addressed by Nissan on the HR and 370z I think. Urethane is better but as the vid shows you need to get well designed ones. I have used Superpro, whiteline and energy suspension. Superpro are up there, whiteline a close second and energy suspension third because some of their bushes are poorly designed. However if you swap those bushes for superpro or whiteline equivalent as I have done for the 2 chaps here you end up with a competent package and some significant savings. Monoball/spherical/rose jointed bushes are the ultimate because there is no bind or stiction and there supension geometry is always maintained optimally as there is no unwanted mov't. However they don't last forever as they are prone to salt corrosion and they are impractical for daily driving. I have been lucky to have been able to swap to full urethane bushes in the past and again to solid monoball bushes which are currently on the car. I have also done the full urethane swap for 2 members here. So I can attest to the fact that every single bush showed significant wear. One thing is for certain the handling is night and day and if you have other suspension mods like ARB, coilovers and adjustable arms it further enhances them. I will be offering a drive in bushing replacement and general suspension service soon and there will be various packages to suit all budgets and usage but in anycase priced very competitively. What is the rough cost of replacing all the bushes? I already have Powerflex banana arm bushes fitted. Just curious as to what sort of money you were looking at charging for a full replacement. I'd be interested in knowing how much for a full kit, can any traders help?

K&N isn't worth the money i'd say! Build quality isn't great, you'd be better with something else. Upset me it bolts to the back of the toe eye, doesn't fit great so had to make a modification to that also weight, why does it have to be so heavy? Flip side does sound amazing

I've been told Syvecs. Would have one myself if the cost wasn't unbelievable. Still tempted to one day get one, let us know if you endup getting one.

Nice one. I'll talk to them, not far from me as well makes a change.

Take it yours don't move? Pain to fit them? Sparco Rev's look good might take a look at them.

After any advise people have regarding after market seats.... Main aim of changing the seats in so my head doesn't touch the roof! (With helmet on!) so could do with being lower down if possible, also the small safety aspect of using standard seats with 5 point harnesses. Investigations so far have pointed me towards the following seat: http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/oncirrus/3/file/0123456789/0123456789/137_R2012_Technical%20sheet_Seat%20%20EVO%20II_VTR_V00_No%20price.pdf Went along to demon tweeks to sit on them, that came out as my favourite. next is seat rails, started looking at this: http://www.buddyclubuk.com/cgi-bin/sh000001.cgi?WD=350z&PN=INTERIOR%2ehtml#a105 They talk about the holes having to be "Buddyclub seat rails are capable of mounting seats that have side mounted bolts 290mm approx apart centre to centre" Emailed them to ask. Aware I'll have to add a resister to stop the airbag light coming on, see a forum post for that

£20 for express parking

Thanks Guys found some of your earlier posts the new ARB's have three holes, planning on putting the drop link in the first, the little metal bit makes it fit better at the end that's all so need a new bolt:

For my own interest plus I've not figured out how I'm going to connect it back up yet, can someone tell me what this is? It's only on the passenger side rear. Looks like its connect to a switch or sensor? Appreciate the picture isn't that great

Assume that's the locking wheel nut someone lost?

I'll be around on the Sunday so will look out for Clark Motorsport & Tarmac Hopefully will find some cheap deals

When I did mine, I'd knocked a metal cover at the back of the disc. made a horrible scraping noise was that obvious until the car was up on a ramp, the cover was touching the back of the brake disc

I'll have one

If you do decide its too dangerous, i'll buy the seats off you they look really good.

Finally ordered the bonnet dampers 😃 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
