BYD will do one that’s 20 mins to charge with 650 mile range soon (apparently). I’m tempted to ask my fleet manager if he wants me to test one as my 338 mile ID4 does about 260 in the real world.

That looks awesome! It cleaned up lovely, lets has some sound clips as well then please…

I hear from son no.1 that BYD will shortlly bring out a car that will charge in 5 minuets. Sounds impossible to me but remember where you heard it first.

Just a quick update for anyone who stumbles across this post. Turns out I had a split in the air intake pipe, so an air leak as I suspected, just elsewhere.

New (to me) Exhaust! Managed to jump on a great deal for a Greddy Evolution GT Catback system. Scooped it up for £800. Previous owner bought it new and had only done a few thousand miles with it. I can't tell you the amount of research I've done for aftermarket exhaust for these cars, endless Youtube videos and many ride alongs with people at meets. Narrowed it down to 3 systems. Ark Grip, Motordyne Shockwave and Greddy Evo. Overall the Greddy was the winner, best value for money, 3-inch and X pipe. I was willing to buy new but this opportunity came up at a great price, plus any opportunity to get my polishing gear out! First job was to deoxidise the metal and get rid of the brown staining. Used Race Glaze Alubright for this. I then used wire wool and Mothers Mag & Alu polish on the pipe work, machine polisher on the canisters and tips. Very pleased with the outcome, here is some before and afters! Really impressed with the quality, welds are top notch! Install time! Had a fellow V1 friend come and help me. He couldn't believe how good condition the underneath of my car was in comparison to his. This was backed up when all my bolts from the original system came off with no needed to cut! Old vs New. Enjoyed the stock system for what it was but it needed changing. Not the best made things and bloody heavy! All married up, we did actually ended up taking off the second bracket for the left side of back section. It was just in the way and didn't see the point as the other side only has 1 supporting hanger. Well pleased is an under statement! Absolutely over the moon with how it sounds. Thanks to @ShortPaulfor taking me out in his car at the last Torqen meet to really confirm my decision after years of deciding. Look forward to my next proper drive to really open it up, its given the car a new lease of life!

@LoadmasterI'm not sure, I haven't changed it since my ownership (2021)

Nissan are failing but a sushi knife might save the day. You know whats next right? A katana blade! Just like the imitation on the car. Engraved, shined and rubberized handle. Now that would be collector https://www.thedrive.com/news/nissan-and-legendary-chef-hiro-collab-on-a-z-nismo-precision-sushi-knife

So half the tread on those then

For anyone wondering about tyre wear, perhaps tempted to book on but worried you'll need to buy two new rears by lunch time? I used less than 1mm on this day out on my Cup 2s.

Hi just reviving this topic, after 5 years (and if you still have the car), how did the this set up feel?, Did you notice any differences? Would you recommend it? Any issues? Thanks!

Looks good mate 👍

Im not going be able to make todays meet 🥺 My mrs is in bed with some kind of sickness bug. Quite possibly the worst timing. Hope its a good turn out..... drive safe guys 👍🏻👍🏻

Fitted the Tesla style screen today, a quick but fun mod and glad to see the back of the atrocious OEM media

Hey pal, very sorry to hear this and very much hope it goes to a worthy new owner. Venue is 20 mins South of the pre meet. It's a new location, full info will be available on the day.

Yeah time and motivation often a key factor in these things. I'm going to try and do little bits here and there. Mine still isn't taxed and the wheels haven't come back yet. So while it up on axle stands I'm using the time productivity. (I hope)

Thanks for the guide Randy_Baton. It was very useful when I removed the blank button and replaced it with a GTR boot opening switch! I used a piggy back fuse tab to connect the switch to the existing boot opener/fuel lid opener fuse (22) in the footwell. I then had to remove most of the plastic trim on the drvivers side to run a new wire alongide the loom into the boot to reach the lock actuator.

Looking good! Making me have the urge to finish mine off that’s so far been missing for the last eight weeks… rad change is needed but apart from that it’s good to go. Apart from not oovkng for three years

Meanwhile I've started the arduous task of trying to remove 20 year old crusty bolts. Aim is to replace the rear traction arms, camber arms, rear anti roll bar, rear drop links and get the adjustable height springs from Bc racing installed. First step getting them out. Easier said than done. Allot of the bolts and nuts really fought me. Managed to get one side unassembled.

As these cars are N/A There isn't any such thing as a stage 2 remap really. You just have them remapped. The upgrades you have done will definitely help with the breathing of the car and how smooth it will feel afterwards. You won't get much in the way of gains unfortunately.

Hi buddy, Overall condition, service history . Rust also. Smoke after idle is a sign of valve stem seal damage or piston ring problems. Things like that

I am looking at buying a 2004 nissan 350z but it has 150k miles on it. Supposedly the gearbox has been changed but what else should I look out for?

Let me know, I’m debating getting some now tbh

My seat dyno is saying it's lost a little torque but gained power at the top end and revs way more freely. With the remap I'm hoping to gain some torque back. I'll know next Thursday!
