Now photo shop it Kuro

Know what you mean bud, my garage is getting a little cramped at the moment

May be worth looking at this one http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/413696.htm

Leave it until after Wales bud, you will change your mind at least a dozen times with so many zeds about

And product testing

Thats it, had enough of the boring winter wheels so its on with the chrome. One last blast out over this today and its bling time. http://www.thecumbriadirectory.com/Cumb ... e_Pass.php So, if it snows next week you know who to blame

Agree 900% with you there mate Thats why I want to open a cake shop - its my plan to take over the world with cream buns When do we start

This is the guide but forget about any power gain. Intake There are basicly two different types of intakes on the market. "Short Ram" and "Cold Air" intakes. A "Short Ram" intake is a filter on the end of the intake tube that sits inside the engine bay. Generally a shorter distance from the filter into the throttle body. A "Cold Air" intake locates the air filter outside of the engine bay. It gets its name "Cold Air" from pulling in air from out side of the engine bay not the warm air from inside of the engine bay. Cold Airs do not magically cool off the air, it just brings in cooler air from outside the engine room. Intakes that fall under the "Short Ram" catagory are: Jim Wolf Technology (JWT) Pop Charger, K&N Typhoon and Fujita intakes. Intakes that fall under the "Cold Air Intake" catagory are: NISMO, AEM and INJEN. There are some more intakes then these, but these are the main ones to look for. The Performance Difference All of these intakes will give you some kind of gain when installed properly. They all give you a larger more roaring sound from the engine bay at full throttle once above around 4000RPM. With a Short Ram Intake, there is less distance for air to travel from filter to throttle body. This makes for better throttle response and greater power at higher RPM's. Cold Airs do not have as quick of a throttle response but gain a little more in the mid range of the RPM band. Air is constantly moving through the engine bay while the car is in motion. Filter placement is key here. Where the Short Rams place the filter is in a pressurized zone where air is directed towards the filter. On a Dyno, the car sits still so generally these numbers are lower, but in motion, this is where these intakes shine. Filter placement is something to look for on cold air intakes. The INJEN intake places its filter infront of the radiator. At highway speeds, a cushin of air is formed around the filter directing on coming air around the filter. It is harder for the engine to draw in air when the filter is in a high turblent area like this. On the NISMO / AEM intake the filter is placed infront of the wheel. In this area air is less turbulent so the engine can draw in air with less effort. With a Cold Air Intake you can possibly suck water up into your engine. To avoid this, look for an intake that includes or has an option to add a water diverter valve. This keeps water from being sucked into the engine by bringing air in through the valve rather then the soaking wet filter. The NISMO intake includes this. It is an option with the AEM. Short Ram intakes do not have this problem. Is it possible for an aftermarket intake to void your warranty? Yes. Only if the Mass Air Flow sensor is damaged. The only time this happens is during instalation or if an over oiled filter is installed. If oil or any particle comes in contact with the MAF it could damage it. A MAF can be damaged with the stock intake as well. The intake that makes the best horsepower gain for the money, sound, and performance that I would recomend is the JWT Pop Charger. $120 plus shipping and a independantly proven consitant 6.5 Horse power to the wheels gain. This is the way to go.

Hi Panos and welcome to the forum. First owner from Greece on here Car looks

My problem with phones is that I cover 24/7 when at work and am often up all night. I then go to bed at 8 am and get some clown phoning at 9 am to see if we want any printer carts as they are on offer. Cant turn the phones off because we are on call. They drive me mad

Lots of new guys recently so a good chance to come and say Hi to some other owners, get your names down

At work I carry 2 mobiles and a blackberry

Stick with the strips

Dont buy from the dealer, their prices are crazy. Any doubts contact BigPhil and he will give you a very balanced and unbiased opinion. i got a set of Ferrodo pads from him and followed his bedding in procedure and have not heard a squeek yet, And welcome stranger, enjoy the forum

You have pm Lee. Nothing wrong with imports, if you get the spec for less money then why not. As with all car buying its ensuring you dont get any nast surprises

http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5589 There you go bud, its largely a matter of personal opinion but the general feeling seems to be dont replace Bridgestones with similar.

Someone sent me this recently My friend, you are in trouble! What you have here is a bonafide addiction, you're away on holiday and just can't keep off the site I'm not sure if there's any support groups or workshops that can help you here, but I'm starting to worry! Get off and go and do some sight seeing. There there, there there.

Hi Lee and welcome to the forum. Congrats on your decision and you wont regret it. Budget should be fine, if you narrow down your choice of spec and colour it shouldnt be a problem finding you one. Buying privately from someone on the forum is always a good option IMO, you will know what you are getting and it will save wasted miles going to dealers.

As requested

Nice one, need to enjoy it while we can.

Just what i needed, a week of doing nothing. Took the pics on the day you all had the bad storms so as not to rub it in too much. The rest of the week was great, warm and sunny. The Beach. View from the balcony. View of the apartment block. The pool. This has been sold. A work in progress.

Gets a little tiring when passers by comment when you are cleaning it though. Can take all day with regular explanations of what you are doing. Neighbours just think I am nuts.

14 years with the best employer I could wish for. Love driving the tug, as much fun as the zed. Never had a pay dispute. 2 weeks on/off and the boss has just given me a trip off each year. crew are great. The only think that will stop me working is the increased amount of ridiculous admin that increases monthly. The hours are long enough anyway.
