Last Sunday in June meant Japfest Rock, sadly the owners club wasn't in attendance but the show must go on. Again not only had show tickets been purchased, but track time too. Being a warm sunny day, this time I could push alot harder and actually see what was what. Quick check of the oil level *500ml needed, lowered the tyre pressure all round to 26 psi, setup the GoPro - prep done. First time seeing the chequered flag as last time out at Silverstone, poor conditions caused issues resulting in red flags each time huff. This time out was way better, left the paddock behind my mate Kay in her Almera SR20DE+T which was a good sight and for years I wanted to go out with her. Footage Front splitter fitting.... ^ ok for a DIY job, pleased with that. Next came DIY attempt for side spitters made from uPVC. Wanted to buy black ones but couldn't get then in time so white it was then later black vinyl wrap. For less that £40 all in, I think the effect is 80% of what the shop bought version would be so again pleased with that. David

Door switch stuck

Looks in stunning nick, glws

Ello A buckled wheel would vibrate at speeds before you touched the brakes also. Possibly dirt or corrosion on the hub faces where the discs meet the axle. Check maybe the prev owner had 45psi in the tyres, which won't help matters. Tbf not sure about that one pal.

Yes matey 14/17mm drop, perfect for a daily I feel - cheers again Sprayed a couple caps from my Sunny Then added the dipstick and a vacuum hose mount to the mix. Also sourced a couple of JDM window switches as not having auto passenger window bugged me. Plug and almost play as just needed to carry out a window reset which worked straight away for the drivers side but took three attempts on the passenger. All in all, much better and how Nissan should have made all 350z

Shame we need a 5lt tub.....

Ello n welkom matey

Wow what a monster

The Y pipes are interchangeable

What do we reckon to the sound of this lil bad boy?

Cheers pal, thank you - yes a rated upgrade in my mind for sure, no regrets. Below shows the PCV valve location.............. Japfest 2016 saw my first ever venture on track in my own car, being Silverstone i thought was an excellent introduction as its vast (17m width) and incredibly flat. That and only 3rd, 4th and 5th gears being needed the whole way round. Being April not only did we have rain that morning but a tiny bit of snow also. To say i was nervous was an understatement with seeing the aftermath of 'that' black Supra going off a grass verge on the way there and a fellow members black 350z slamming into the wall on the old pit straight on the first flying lap didn't help either - 70% felt enough for me that day. Thoroughly enjoyed it though and going out on track with my little brother felt amazing. He watched my blind spots thus allowing me to focus straight ahead. Car felt great during the brave moments i did use a bit of speed, changed direction very well, good brakes too. No complaints as the car wasn't holding me back, i was holding the car back. Washed and dried and took these the following day at work. Some ol timers having a nose at MFN Oh yeah, bonnet lifters were fitted also plus some nice pictures from Sally. Time for a new air filter, as a touch more orange was needed. Spare MAF would undergo adjustment LOL Looked for the biggest filter i could find that would fill the void Plenty big

Sounds like my grandad clearing his throat lol

I'm happy in the knowledge the 350z can track similar to a DC5 and FD2 type r

Yes but they sound like most other modern 2lt turbo, where as the VQ sounds amazing

Cheers lads Mine now seems to be all good and the fault hasn't come back since fixing the split vac pipe * re route oil catch can hose

Its ok saying to put up with the CEL light, however what if the ecu is showing the CEL for a separate issue that you then ignore?

Costs of a new F355 compared to a 488 GTB is a 100k difference.............. high end marques go up, hell a mid spec Golf now cost over 25k

Still looking beaut

Why would it affect warm start and not cold?

I like the look and seems practical on the door switch surrounds, but I think a finish so reflective on the upper part of the dash would awful in the daytime

What size are the bushes needed for a UK 350z? *UK spec

My misfire was down to a split vac hose causing the ecu to majorly overfuel resulting in a misfire.

In, let's get a list going OP, times and meet spot

^ yeah back to Nissan OE cats............ I would as first action buy some O2 spacers for the sensors
