Very local indeed, may see you about.

Where abouts in Sussex are you? Can't recommend anywhere, but I'm in Sussex too just wondered if you are local.

Lovely, nice mods

Here you go http://www.350z-uk.com/user/12382-bockaaarck/

I'm sure I saw that in someone's sig today...

C. You get a remap to get the full benefits.

RT-Performance in Wembley? They are in the traders section on here, a lot of people on here use them for bodywork.

This. It's actually very good too.

It's fantastic for long journeys, such an all round great car. Sensible and comfortable when you need it, fast and lairy when you want some fun.

No they'll be fine, assuming you torqued them correctly Welcome

You won't be disappointed.

Absolutely this. You'll know exactly what fluids etc you've used too so know it's quality rather than relying on what cheap old stuff may have been used in the past service.

Me too, looks really nice. I was speaking to a chap the other day about hydrodipping, but he's still learning how to use it.

No airlock issues if you drain from the bottom of the radiator and refill carefully. To do a full flush you need to drain the fluid from the engine block too which will be difficult and you'll be more at risk of getting a lot of air in the system. I recommend only replacing what you drain from the radiator which was around 6L when I did it (there's approx 8.7L total coolant in system) There is a bleed screw at the top right of the engine bay near the firewall which you need to remove when you refill, coolant will bubble through it whilst you're filling it and when it overflows out with no bubbles replace the bleed screw and continue filling. You shouldn't get any air in the system that way, make sure you pour slowly. Brake fluid is easy, best method is using two people. I bought one of those Gunson Eezebleed things you attach to the spare wheel to pressurise the system but unfortunately it doesn't fit the Z master cylinder. NEVER let the reservoir run dry or you will he a major air problems. See this thread for bleeding order http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/21148-bleeding-brakes/ be careful with the bleed nipples they are prone to rounding. I soaked mine in plus gas releasing spray the night before then cracked each nipple with a six point socket to avoid rounding with the flats on a spanner. I found it difficult to get a flare nut spanner to fit the nipples properly so just used a normal spanner carefully. Diff and gearbox are easy, just make sure you remove the fill plug first, because if you drain all the fluid and find out the fill plug is seized then you will be stuck! As above Draper syringe works well. Need a 10mm hex for these. Recommend you replace spark plugs too if they are due. Only use genuine fluids on diff/gearbox and coolant.

As others have said its a characteristic of the Zs, changing gear at higher rpm makes it smoother. Changing the oil and adding Molyslip is for when it's physically difficult to change from first to second, but this seems to be a 350z problem, especially on earlier models and high milers. I very doubt it will make a difference for you.

I'll be having none on week days. Started yesterday, it's so difficult but managed to do it.

Just received a set of Eibach ARBs, top service as always and a very generous discount, cheers Ewen

Very good lines, you won't have a problem if they are installed properly. Maybe email HEL themselves? The reason they have no product code etc, is because they are all hand made to order.

You want Gliptone Leather Cleaner, Gliptone Leather Conditioner and a leather cleaning brush and a couple of cloths. Really easy to use and clear instructions on the bottle. I keep treating it regularly to maintain the leather smell and matte look.

Really interesting read. Any shots of the interior?

Drink only at the weekends and learn to stop after a couple and eat healthier then spend the money not spent on alcohol and food on the Z! It's a win win

My Z got me a card.

Go for the Teins. A nice sensible, subtle drop and you don't need new rear camber arms. They are a well recognised manufacturer of quality springs too, a lot of people favour them on here over the Eibachs due to the smaller drop. I've got a pair sat in my garage to fit soon.

Elf. No two ways about it.

Perfect excuse to get some gas lifters
