Or was that solved with the improvements the revup brought? As far as I remember It still could do with the plenum spacer being fitted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was that solved with the improvements the revup brought? I've got the motordyne mrev2 & 5/16 plenum for my 350z GT4, which I haven't had fitted yet. But hoping it'll make a difference to midrange torque as it's my daily and I don't track it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo132 Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Cheers both, not sure if I will do it. Was something I was just thinking about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo132 Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 (edited) Urgh.... Anyone want a 350z? Somehow - and who knows how - the rear part of the front left arch liner has folded up on itself and is now catching the tire when turning. It's all bent out of shape and needs replacing now (along with the front half thanks to a pot hole months ago). How on earth did that happen?? I seem to have a growing list of silly issues with it at the moment. Sarcastic rant over... Find that damn dodgy coil New front drivers side wheel well liner (after it got ripped apart in a pothole) New rear brake pads New (used) AC Compressor (booked in) MOT Find annoying metallic rattle Fix the other arch liners Replace rear under engine splash gaurd Replace boot gas struts Replace boot spring propper (I've ran out of coins to keep adding Replace rear spacers due to snapped stud On the plus side, while I don't have a lot of time to do this work due to living in Wales but now working in Doncaster (moving soon with any luck). The new job does at least give me the extra money to go chasing these. Edited January 21 by daveo132 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo132 Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 Today is clearly one of those days. I figured I would just rip the arch liner out and get it replaced as soon as possible, it was all bent up anyway. Good thing I did, after a wheel rebalancing I had the other day, turns on that same wheel only 1 nut was tight. The other 4 with only threaded on and never tightened! Thankfully no damage done. Not the sort of thing you'd expect within 10 miles of having work done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveo132 Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 Time to update the list of things to do.... New front drivers side wheel well liner (after it got ripped apart in a pothole) New front and read passenger side wheel well liners - came apart after a garage didn't do my wheel bolts up. Turns out only 1 bolt was holding the wheel on. Lucky it didn't do more damage! New (used) AC Compressor (booked in) Rebuild old AC compressor as new (old) one didn't work. Replace rear under engine splash gaurd Replace boot gas struts Replace boot spring propper (I've ran out of coins to keep adding ) Replace rear spacers due to snapped stud Replace front spacers (to match front) due to mis-matched bolts between the spacers the the OE bolts! Replace both front lower arms Kidney brackets and W brace will likely need doing before long too. Going to be a while before much of this gets done. House in Wales isn't selling so I'll be renting in Yorkshire until I can sell and move properly, doesn't leave any spare money! Will be worth it once sold though.

Your wheel story reminded me when I took my old MR2 to a garage in Coventry for a new a tyre. The bloke didn't hand start any tyre bolts and just gunned them in with an impact driver. Instantly crossed the bolt which seized but he just carried on trying to gun it till I came steaming over, then the Muppet blamed me for them being crossed.
