  1. sorry, I'm probably being thick but I can't make out from there where the lifter is mounted. Could you take a daytime pic if possible? Thanks for everything you wrote so far
  2. Unlikely ... even by American standards, that's hugely shoddy English!
  3. Next to the collar by the plenum, is it not?
  4. The JPM article is good, if a little too gushy. Interesting point. Where are the obvious weight saves on the 350Z?
  5. For the price difference, I don't care - I want the best possible people working on the car. I have a dealership 8 miles from me but I went to one 28 miles away because they had the better mechanics. A rubbish service will do the car more harm than good - found that to my cost in the past.
  6. I was always of the opinion that the 'tuner kit' was effectively the same kit minus the electronics and intelligence as some installers may prefer to use kit they are knowledgable with?
  7. Definitely a live studio audience. But would have been v. hard work on the night.
  8. Hmm - if it were that easy. I put a Sunday aside a few weeks ago to just dremmel out a hole, but as far as I could see from looking side on when opening/closing the bonnet the movement of the strut requires a whole channel cut in it. Spill - what did you have to cut? Can you take a picture and post it up?
  9. I think so, they were closed for almost 5 months I think. The original founders have set up a new company - http://www.3dcarbon.com/ Their tag of 'home of the boy racer' won't cut a huge amount of mustard over here though...
  10. Here we go. The plastic panel cannot go back without being cut. However, Abbey may have fitted it incorrectly. Where do you think the hood lifter should go?
  11. No reply from Mike yet. Should be interesting
  12. Other than having to remove the interior plastic panels... Unless your instructions say otherwise ?
  13. ??? They have, over 2 years ago. It's not the best kit but it's not the worst... but then I had a Wings West kit on my Celica and it was superb, very understated and great quality.
  14. On a slightly different topic, did you see the thread on my350z.com about the guy with the vortech getting sensor error codes? Replaced all his sensors, checked for shorted wiring... turns out the SS box died due - funnily enough - to water ingress.
  15. probably best. I can't make a decision on this until I know if the Split Second box is up to the job, and that won't be until the end of the month.
  16. Yes, very true, I forgot to add that - the results on normally aspirated cars (without tuning) are negligible, and in some cases, negative!
  17. It dyno's quite nicely too... http://www.stephengrant.com/350z/video/enginebay.mpg
  18. OK then... Don't know.
  19. How would I know until I knew what the deal was?
