  1. Looks fab, tested on right mucky wheels would be more impressive though.
  2. Odd not to show an engine bay? Looks a sweet motor tbf
  3. If you comparing the best road bikes, you have to pitch them against the best road cars (price aside) and the car wins both in straight line and on track. Never rode a bike, but been in and seen many tuned car stick with or beat sports bike on the street - mostly down to the biker not having the bottle or skill to push the bike hard 1st, 2nd 3rd and so on.
  4. To be fair not many folks can push a bike on the street to its full potential even in a straight line off the mark, whereas in a car it's alot easier to extract the performance. A stock GTR would smoke a 05' R1 around the ring with ease and doesn't have to look like a power ranger doing it.
  5. In my mind, just before I knock the engine off blast the cabin with cold air from the fans - frees up excess warmly from behind the dash also, every little helps. Don't use recirulate Lower Windows before completing journey Quick blast of cold air Keep windows clean Use A/C *comes in automatically Have a clean microfiber to hand

    Who will win???

    Watched that video also today, the Renault sports car are awesome on track and for me kicked of the whole hot hatch ring wars. The Renaultsport Megane 265 Trophy was created to set a new front-drive road-car lap record at the Nürburgring. 265 trophy 8:08secs 370z 8:11secs
  7. I'd place BMW sales ahead of Vauxhall at a guess....
  8. Watched episode no.8 I think it is, joint worst of the season. Apart from the 2017 Honda NSX feature at the start by James, the rest is chuck in the bin.
  9. Nissan's of the era don't seem to breathe well in these conditions. Driving around with the heating on, park up lock the car and soon that warm air rises and settles in the now cold glass - ready and waiting for your return. In my 5 door sunny I have smoked wind deflectors and leave the front windows down 5mm ish which allows the warm air to rise and escape, minimising condensation massively.
  10. Spoke with young chap in the office and told me you guys had just had it on the dyno, first run was very promising. What headers is this running again? David
  11. Surly you had to press the clutch to start the car before putting the car away in the garage, not something one would forget?.... Least its sorted now
  12. Throttle body OD is 80mm, most aftermarket intake pipes are 76mm OD. MAF of is 76mm, MAF adapter is 76mm.
  13. Sporty BMW's for me are just quick versions of very dull euro fleet boxes. £ for £ to go quick, spend the money on an Evo 8/9 and be done.

    Brake Judder

    The road test video would have been fun eek
  16. Oddly in standard trim, the M135i e82 is slower around the Nurburgring than the 350z (287ps)
  17. Ive booked the 10:30am slot on the 27th Jan, looking forward to it and meeting fellow Zed owners
  18. Nistune requires a board to be soldiered into the ECU where as the UPREV is just a reflash via the OBD connector so no hardware needs buying or fitting. I know, bet there's not much call for Nistune these days for the older style ecu'd cars 200sx, Pulsar DET etc.
  19. Do you mean 350z RevUp engine Mark?....... Is it possible and do you find much need/gains in raising the redline rpm via remap on the VQ35's
  20. I know what you mean, to remap my old 99' Almera GTi via Nistune @ Abbey would have been £650 a few years back
  21. Also Severn Valley Motorsport in Telford can carry out all hardware matter for us too.
  22. I would suggest calling Jez @ HDev to confirm your interest and what your after. Say all ten spots have been accounted for via the forum at present, however would it be possible to be the 11th member and come down on a separate date pending any drop outs. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/113392-350z-uprev-group-buy-at-h-dev-proposed-feb-2017/
