Think the fact you went to the darkside, deserves a temporary ban. However, as you have seen the error in your ways we can let it slide this time Welcome back

Yes I think it can be turned off, but for what it costs may as well just live with it and put the money towards the exhaust. Dead money.

Spot on bud, about to order another set for the fronts. Not sure they are ready for changing yet, but they have took some hammer so may as well refresh them and get them bedded in ready for Spring

Compression test and injectors.

Personally, think they do more harm than good. Be far better off getting a detail done and a good ceramic coating. Covers trap moisture, dust gets in, ready for you to unwrap a scratched up mouldy mess of a car in spring. Coat the paintwork, and let it sit. The sun does far more damage than a bit of rain and snow ever would

Yeah was pondering just getting OEM filter, I know the K&N ones are garbage so been a little wary of non Nissan stuff for warranty purposes. As for the 5w40 I know its better for high temps, but im going on the route of changes every 5k so change while its still fresh and not end of life sort of thing

Thought it would be better to revive an old thread than start a new one for the same thing... These suitable for a quick pre winter oil change ?

Snowfoam, without a doubt Alien Magic. Not the cheapest but the dwell time is superb. Bright colours and scented good enough to drink (please do not drink) Cleaning, pretty much only Auto Finesse. From soap to fall out remover, tar and glue, citrus wash, wheel cleaners. A selection of their soft detail brushes and a set of the stiffer bristled ones for wheels/engine bay Sealer, super quick and easy Auto Finesse Lavish. Snow lance it onto a wet car let it sit for a minute or so and rinse off. Dry and a 'Ceramic' coating that lasts a good few washes. Usually wax over it if attending a show, just for that extra pop Wax again Auto Finesse Fusion. Bay dressing, Dressel from, yup you guessed Auto Finesse. Metal bits, well the short tails, Autoglym metal polish

On the 370, the textured ones are internal clips, the bumper ones are smooth, hence the part number I linked (I somehow lost one of mine) Im starting to think, Nissan just used whatever push clips they had laying around at the time, could be different on 2 cars of the same model and year 🤣 Your best bet is to just get an assortment of used ones from Alex, will have some spare too then.

They are not identical, but the ones for the 370z are CLIP: 01553-09321 may be a useful point to start the hunt. BTW they are £2.45 each at Nissan Go on Ebay, probably get 20 for that price

Great day out yet again, massive thanks for arranging this. Apologies from both myself and the wife, she was suffering with a headache at the llanberis stop, with 2.5hr drive home to do we had to get off. God help her when the HFC's go on and the Db's go up an notch Managed to make it home with just 45 miles of fuel left in the tank, 1+1/2 tanks used. @GranTurismoEra hope we didn't drag you off route heading home, was flashing to say goodbye, not 'follow me' 🤣 After todays period of national grief, I will return Zara from 'Racecar' to show pony with a much needed wash.... Again, thanks for organising @davey_83

Cheaper ? Yeah 100% you seen the price of the Tesla mod ? £1700

Anyone going to this run need 2x 370 intake boxes, come with the front extensions etc Let me know and ill bring them with, otherwise going in the tip saturday

Fingers crossed I shall be joining you Sunday. Looking forward to a chilled cruise on those roads. We made the mistake of joining a Rampage Rally recently, over the Snake Pass, not 20 minutes in and a balloon in a focus RS went off at 80+ by all accounts missed a propane tank by mere feet, wrote off the home owners car, Garage, Wall, Trees and his own RS. Luck would have it, him and his wife walked away with minor injuries. Lets hope this decent weather holds out for some good photo opportunities

Nah I'll just buy more HFC's if they do. That £700 will pay for the remap

I've been offered £700 scrap just for the cats off mine, just need to get the HFC's fitted now

I have a Nismo rear silencer, 5k on it if you're looking to do a 'Nismo cat back'

Ive not gone to great lengths as such, I was doing it the hard way to be honest. Buying counter sunk M6 and Dome top M8 bolts in Stainless from Pro-Bolt, counter sunk washers in Red from Exo-sport. For things like Expansion tank cover, head lights, cam sensors, power steering tank. Im actually thinking of re-planning and replacing a lot of them, the anodised 'Red' is a little pink for my taste But the likes of Torqen do kits in a variety of colours (just didn't have red when I was doing mine) As yours is blue, there is a kit that matches yours quite well, certainly a good starting point for the swap out. Feel free to DM me anytime can send you links to bits ive used

Can only think the current climate with stupid energy and fuel prices are having a negative effect. Hate to see them sell so cheap, devalues the cars.

Looking at the side wall taper id say stock 285 rears

Congrats on the purchase, look forward to some photos soon

Im not sure if it was a placebo effect, but I found it felt sharper and better grip all round. Less tramlining too ? When I removed the 15s from the rear and only had them on the front it was really tail happy due to the narrower track, the 5s fixed that. For note: Previous set up: Rear 285x40x19 with 15mm Spacer - Front 245x45x19 15mm Spacer Current set up: Rear 305x30x19 5mm Spacer (some edge rubbing under compression) - Front 265x40x19 15mm Spacer Previous set up was on the factory tyres. Current set up, the grip is superb. You really have to send it if you want to break loose. Running on MP4S Image to show current set up arch filling etc Edit: Should add, I have a set of 15s was going to keep hold of the in case I went back to narrower tyres, that probably wont happen. So if you want them can do £45 posted, as long as its not Washington USA

I have 15mm spacers on the front of mine, from Tarmac sportz, work perfectly fine. These: https://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/japan-racing-nissan-5x114-3-15mm-jrwa3-wheels-spacers-66-1mm-hub-black-finish.html Full selection: https://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/wheels-tyres/spacers/?find=nissan-370z-all-variants-7577&sid=jeXkyz9ZZS Had them all round but went with wider tyres so had to remove them on the rear and drop to a 5mm. you are fine upto 20mm all round on standard wheels and tyre sizes, 25mm and you will get rubbing on the arch trim.

Cracking day, some stunning Z's there today. 5 hour round trip, £100 in V-Power more than worth it too Many thanks for arranging this Davey, look forward to then next one

Talking of fences, tyres are the main thing that can stop you going through one Im with you, money on tyres before anything else. But any good brand be it Falken, Michelin, Continental will all do the job, just dont risk the cheapo melted canoe crap and you will be fine
