  1. Horsham Developments normally have these on the shelf ready to go, give them a call in morning you may have them for friday
  2. Well I have 4 at the moment, also have my work truck, l200, touareg, the 370z and a V10 S6, may get another coupe toy possibly 650i or similar
  3. I have come to terms with he fact that i wont be doing anymore trackdays for foreseeable future and i just dont get the chance to drive the 370 as much as i would like. I have owned the car for about 2.5 years now and between the previous owner and myself a lot of work has been carried out to make this car pretty special, it has 1000s and 1000s of pounds worth of parts on to make this car perform brilliantly with minimal compromise to how it behaves on the road, i have addressed any issues that have arisen immediately so there is peace of mind that all the 370zs weak spots have been solved, the previous owner did gallery gaskets i have fitted an uprated CSC along with oem luk clutch and flywheel a few thousand miles ago. It has buckets of service history and receipts, lots of work has been carried out by Horsham Developments. A brief descrription of spec : Ecutek remap Cobra HFC Hks hi power exhaust Greddy sump Oil cooler with proper swaged lines Z1 long tube intake Recent spark plugs Uprated clutch slave Recent clutch with OEM Inc flywheel Gallery gaskets done Radium surge tank with aem and walbro pumps Vibratechnics trans mount Z1 subframe inserts Bilstein b16 coilovers Adjustable suspension arms including hard race fuca Ebr rp1 pads Recent discs Braided lines Motul rbf brake fluid Z1 diff cover White line front rear arbs White line adjustable drop links White line diff bushes Torqen headlights Torqen side repeaters Gtr start button Irp shifter Tarmac sports w brace Goodyear eagle F1 supersport tyres As you can see it has some very nice parts fitted, as with all 14 year old cars it has some small issues, the bonnet, boot, roof and mirrirs has been carbon wrapped, its not in your face and is a very good job and does actually look real, has a few blemishes on bodywork include a very small rust spot at bottom of wheel arch, the shifter takes some getting used to i do have the stock one if new owner wants to put it back in. this has also been driven by Misha at nurburgring, his complaints were rear end was too soft, the coilovers were set on full soft and shifter but otherwise loved the car, i was petrified! The car is currently in a barn i will get it out this weekend and take some more pictures ,it is sitting around 90k, have hardly driven it since its mot in January i am asking £12000

    New Brake setup

    you can get coated, painted or bare discs, if they are bare any bits that are not in contact with pad will rust so bell and edge of disc, painted are fine but the finish doesnt last as long as coated, most descriptions of discs on things like autodoc will tell you about what kind of rust protection if any they have

    New Brake setup

    this, just dont buy utter crap and make sure they are coated so wont rust, i just put febi ones on and have been for perfect
  6. Braided lines help in 2 ways one is brake feel the other is heat resistance so they will make a difference which you may or may not feel, they can be a pain to do as unions may not undo as well as they used to. I bought a second set of pads for my 370z two years ago. They are still in the box
  7. I always run a stock disc on track, it's the pads that do most of the work, if you were getting fade it will be your pads, so if your going ferod hopefully ds2500 oor similar. Tyres I'd just go for an uhp tyre PS4s, eagle F1 etc, more than capable and great in wet or just going to the shops. When Misha ragged my z at nurburgring hitting 160mph was just using stock discs but had ebc rp1 pads and on eagle F1 supersports without issue
  8. cheers for the kind words, i have done rear diff bushes, as soon as he pointed camera in my face i forgot every single mod that was on the car! i am pretty sure it is just coikovers being on full soft the dampers were probably not doing anything at all. full soft on a b16 is still pretty stiff especially for uk roads but over there it really needed more. I would do the diff bushes first they are relatively easy, the z1 inserts were done by Horsham and Craig said they were an absolute pita to do had to pretty much put the entire cars weight on them to get them to slide in. oh and do the trans mount!
  9. He used to race scooters and maybe other child like things, got a job at ring garage and has just done 1000s and 1000s of laps, Auto Alex set this up for me, I'm not sure I'd of volunteered it, but if he crashes he pays. First few corners, as you can tell, I was wondering what I'd done but glad I did it as I can see what my car is actually capable of now!
  10. You imagine Misha takes it for a little spin and build up to race pace but no, he gets in car turns off traction and floors it
  11. Ignore my face, it's flipping scary being in your car with him. https://youtu.be/1wAJxixmeZs?si=O1aB5gy5QDuZEeXi
  12. The clutch slave is still the plastic piece of crap version earlier ones use, they will fail with age they just won't be many 2017 370z's with 60/70k on them
  13. Being an 18 plate you shouldn't have to worry about gallery gaskets so depending on milage you may have clutch slave issues these can fail at around 70k and is gearbox off. A quick look over for rust,bit should be ok but you never know if it was parked by the sea. Tyres are not cheap so make sure you have some good ones on it apart from that you just check out the normal stuff.
