It's been a while, but here goes! We can assign a value to the original plenum volume, say it's Z You measure the internal volume of spacer (sand/oil/geometry/whatever method) and it turns out to be 50cm3. From the 12% increase figure quoted, we can say the original volume (Z) + the 50 you measured = original volume (Z) +12% Which is just the same as Z + 50 = 1.12 x Z This can be solved for Z, which is the original volume of the plenum. SOLVING Z + 50 = 1.12 x Z Move all terms containing Z to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.12Z' to each side of the equation. 50 + Z + -1.12Z = 1.12Z + -1.12Z Combine like terms: Z + -1.12Z = -0.12Z 50 + -0.12Z = 1.12Z + -1.12Z Combine like terms: 1.12Z + -1.12Z = 0.00 50 + -0.12Z = 0.00 Add '-50' to each side of the equation. 50 + -50 + -0.12Z = 0.00 + -50 Combine like terms: 50 + -50 = 0 0 + -0.12Z = 0.00 + -50 -0.12Z = 0.00 + -50 Combine like terms: 0.00 + -50 = -50 -0.12Z = -50 Divide each side by ‘-0.12'. Z = 416.6666667 So if the volume of the spacer is 50cm3 and it delivers a 12% volume increase, the original volume of the plenum is 416.67cm3 Alternatively, you can put the original Z + 50 = 1.12 x Z equation into this website: https://mathway.com and just swap the 50 I made up for the demonstration for the actual value you measure inside the plenum spacer. The answer Z will be the volume you are looking for. In short, original plenum volume = your measured spacer volume divided by 0.12

I love how it's the existing Brembos causing the issues, not the new purchase

I actually prefer the smoother ass on the top photo

REALLY?!? I say, if the pistonheads man says it, it must be true. I also say that Clarkson says stuff and that's all equally true, so surely that brings this to its natural conclusion.

Given the plenum spacer is a known set of dimensions, can't you calculate the volume of air "inside" the spacer, then using the 12% figure, work back to find out the original volume? Or apply the sand/oil method to a spacer (not on the car) sat on a flat surface, then use that to caluclate the volume?

along I'd suggest checking out the traders on here for pads and discs, Clark Motorsport, Cougarstore, Tarmac Sportz - they're all really good and can cover normal road stuff right through to track grade. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/93-professional-traders/ Good luck with the Zed viewing!

Did the RE050a even exist when the 350z was designed?

but in th unlikely event that fails, I think I saw one on fleabay

Hate to imagine what you are like with a chainsaw Chainsaws are easier ...... Hurty end away from you ! If you're still looking, I got this working on iPhone 6 with Dash Command, easy peasey. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121660462838

You'd have to get those colour coded Day 1, who let that choice out of the design department?

Nice purchase, great choice for a "sensible" car

It's that kind of motor though surely? Is a little bit of rice such a bad thing? I'm much more appalled at the £33k price, OUCH!

Same on my GM, the best it will ever look in the bay is clean

for used goodness

+1 for Tarmac's nuts

Yep because everybody knows with a RWD car you never have to slow down for corners do you?! I had my brakes removed to save weight and improve lap times

Only if your an existing broadbander, it's £24 pcm for normal humans (plus £15 for the bloke to reach over and flip the switch), but it's not outrageously priced. Unless of course you consider the money is going to Robbie Savage and Rio Ferdinand, which is like finding out your money is being secretly routed to Mugabe except of course, he takes himslef much less seriously than Rio & Sav

Have a look on incartec and put your details in, it's good for showing you the bits - http://incartec.co.uk/nissan/1929/1036/2072/Radio/Browser.aspx

I couldn't see the link for the iOS one?

Wifi for iOS, Bluetooth doesn't play well with non Apple devices.

Do they do a suction one that can milk you for an alarm call in the morning? Is that too weird?

The Marvin Gaye soundtrack makes it really creepy Cool idea though!

Simply stunning

EPL is back Feee FF bump!

Superior choice there Stu. The best thing about Cipher is that UpRev claim it uses Nissan proprietary protocols - meaning faster logging rates and higher res data over generic OBD gadgets. My guess is probably half the reason for it's high cost is royalties to Nissan for access to their protocols. That's cheap, you should see the bill for the MBP you just made me order
