  1. Welcome aboard. Any pics of the new ride or your old Evo?
  2. Looks great considering you said it was just "a quick one".
  3. Very sorry for your loss. RIP Monty.
  4. CJ you need to edit that album as there is a picture of you in your underwear whisking some egg whites or something! Can't really help but just try not to worry as it's out of your hands now that it's with the insurers. Maybe worth checking his reg plate on the DVLA website though to make sure he has up to date Tax & MOT.
  5. Moved this Chris to the wanted area & merged your other thread too. For good quality used units you could try zmanalex or Emperor Tuning and for new you could see if Clark Motorsport can help. zmanalex: http://www.350z-uk.com/user/9648-zmanalex/ Emperor Tuning: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/232-emperor-tuning/ Clark Motorsport: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/207-clark-motorsport/ Welcome aboard btw.
  6. It's getting that way. Great motor Rich, ...hope you have fun with it.
  7. A hydroshield AKA hydro sock is a waterproof/resistant "shield" which goes over an air filter to prevent water from being drawn through the filter whilst still allowing air to be drawn through.
  8. Okay I see but as evest mentions you probably won't hear the intake over the exhaust so probably better spending money elsewhere unless you really want the CAI for some added bling under the bonnet. Oh and I totally agree that with the velocity stack mod you won't notice any difference, I only mentioned it if chasing numbers was your game as it may give 1 or 2 more on a dyno over stock but definitely nothing noticeable.
  9. Why do you want one Fluke? Is it just for some engine bling or are you after more performance or is it just for some extra noise? When I first had my Zed I bought a Stillen CAI kit as a compromise between the OEM air box and an open cone induction kit as I wanted a performance intake without the risk of loads of heat soak which the Stillen kit does fulfill but tbh I was a little disappointed although purely because I was expecting more noise. Personally if I had to do it over again I would probably just do the flyboy 2006 velocity stack mod ( http://www.350z-uk.c...-in-stock-2015/ ) and put a performance panel filter in the OEM air box, ...OR if I really had to have an induction kit for a bit of engine bay bling then just go the cheaper route of a pop charger (rrp £145) albeit suffering some heatsoak at times I'm sure. As I'm more performance orientated with my mods then it would definitely be the 2006 velocity stack mod & the performance panel filter though.
  10. Sounds like you are all good to go. Plus 1. Forget the spacers Watola. You won't need them honestly.
  11. Good video Butcher and looks like so much fun. What sort of speeds did you see on track then? Just curious as at one point you said that one of the straights you saw as fast as the main straight.
  12. I bought my Rotas from Mitz at the Cougar Store and part of the reason I changed my OEM Rays to the Rotas was that I didn't want to be running spacers. To fit the Zed nicely the GTR's should be ET20 (19x9.0, 19x10.0) which should negate the need for spacers. Rotas for sale at the Cougar Store to give you an idea of the offsets Mitz supplies for the Zed: http://cougarstore.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_13
  13. Excellent hand/eye coordination there. Very good.
  14. Many congratulations to you Andy and to your wife Katrina. All the best for a happy future together.
  15. Unfortunately this sort of sh*t happens all the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ6hr4Jzdxk More here: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=dash+cam+footage+of+garage+abusing+customers+car You really need a good dash cam to catch them at it or preferably some sort of "valet mode" for when you leave your car with a garage so that they can't go over a certain speed or the cars power is restricted via the ECU again restricting it's ability to go fast.
  16. Moved Keith. I don't know anything about them but hopefully someone on here might no more. Good luck.
  17. For the LED rear lights Dan give Clark Motorsport a PM. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/92741-group-buy-genuine-nissan-rear-led-lamps/
  18. Will lock this now then as sold, ...any problems just let us know.
  19. Welcome aboard. They can be a bit "notchy" with regards to gear changes especially when cold. You could try a gearbox oil change with some added "Molyslip" to see if that helps ease the issue. Loads of info on the site though so have a good search if you ever get any issues. For example regarding the gearbox: https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=350z%20uk%20notchy%20gears http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/70653-1st-2nd-gear-change/
  20. Feel exactly the same Dan. The only time I've ever had any sympathy for or even agreed in part with the reasoning behind a strike was when the local Fire Brigade were striking due to the retirement age that the government intended to raise. Even then though I still didn't agree with them going on strike, although in their defence they did at least have the Army Fire Brigade who covered their shifts so no lives were put at risk or public inconvenienced. Anyone who strikes should be sacked I'd say as there are plenty of others looking for work who would happily fill their shoes.
