Well done! As for having not having a video up Hope you get it all sorted, are you having someone look at it for you? Where is the excel spreadsheet with all the costings

fair play to them all! Cracking photos!

professional like a doctor or a fitness freak? Cranberry Juice would flush me quicker then the CLA-1000! Did say if anyone else care to try suggested meal replacement to speak to a doc beforehand. I'm aiming to do 1 week of the above then replace 1 meal a day (preferable lunch since that seems to be the most crappy one I eat). Trying to do a lof of arobic stuff in the gym since I sit on my ass most of the time...

You could always go down the route of food replacement? Currently getting geared up for the following: Breakfast: CLA-1000, Thermabol, Porridge Lunch: CLA-1000, Thermabol, Promax Diet (Maximuscle) Dinner: CLA-1000, Thermabol, Promax Diet (Maximusle) Haven't as yet been 'able' (felt like it) to replace both lunch and dinner. For evening snack I'd eat dry hard bread or popcorn (the one you make in the air machine without fat) Also attending the gym 3 days a week at least (trying to get to 5 but need to start slowly so I don't wreck something) If you do above for 2 weeks you'll loose loads of weight, to manage it you just replace one meal with a protein drink and attend the gym (at least 3 times a week) My gym sessions are pretty long at the moment (2-2.5 hours) 45 min on cross trainer or similar and 15 min weights on machine (with high intensity) is enough though. Cheers & G'luck... Wish I had my old squash partner around, best way for me to loose weight was to run around like a eejit in the squash court every lunch for 45 min! A Oh yeah, here is the 'hardest' one.... KEEP AWAY FROM ANY ALCOHOL.

food for thought lads, specially re water... Just have some time on my hand rather then € at the moment so thought I'd use it wisely and mess around with the car (instead of looking for more work...)

see answer above....

I would really do if I didnt have so much expense very soon (kiddy on the way) and that work seems to be drying up quicker then... (might even have to go back to 9-5!!! )

I want to build a custom instake system with the end pointing downwards in front of the left wheel. Has anyone tried building their own 'cold' intake system? If so any pointers would be real cool and tips! Heard that you need to 'know' or at least understand what type of pipe you'd need for airflow. As I understand it a perfect finish on the inside of the intake pipe might not be the correct way for airflow to flow freely... (might have got all that arseways) also outside is more for the 'bling' effect then anything. Any help would be greatly appriciated. A.

Yeah, I'd expect more from Cosworth especially. They even went as far as saying the plenum is not intended for FI once people started having problems with leaking end caps. Given it does bugger all N/A what is it intended for?! looks good though Think they've sorted the FI problems they had with leaks though... would be hard to 'see' that if you try and get one so you'd have to take the sellers word for it being a later model (thats fixed) think my updated model of the plenum is one that's not supossed to crack under lots of FI pressure (time will tell) a.

These are only good again F/I just like the Kinetx manifold. I can't see how anyone can design something that works as good as the stock designed plenum that Nissan must have spent a few quid developing. The spacer/Mrev will help a little because I feel Nissan had to lose a little height from the motor to make it fit under the bonnet/ Pretty bad how both of them tell people of N/A gains... when going FI, if that now will ever happen.

lol why muppet? I race around the track over here sure Didnt look more then I saw it was a race type bike

to license less of that andid ..........too soon and she's only 21

to license

350Z Roadster - Vehicle not homologated for towing

what is it?

So how do you find out how much the z would be able to tow? A

Yeah definitely. Whilst I have your attention, I see you have a Kintetix SSV. What do you think to it? Did it give any gains as they seem a bit controversial on the US forums. Also what's the sound from it like? They look ace! It looks like it's now been superceded by the new velocity manifold though: http://www.kinetixracing.com/new-ssvext ... 03-06.aspx Thats the one I got not sure, think for N/A it might have been a bit overkill. I do need to get the air flow going into the SSV sorted (cold air intake or something like AEM) before I know for sure but I think more bang for buck is a spacer (had one earlier in the car) if you're not planning on going FI, I do think some people prefer cosworth though (even though there was some old problems with the design it seems to not break during FI), the kinetix manifold looks the job though and obviously the sound is deadly My tuner did wonder where all the torq went when he did my map so I'm not sure if it's the intake side or the outake side that I've got some restriction. Guess is that it's my headers and possibly the design of the manifold is arseways (hope latter is not correct) I'm pretty interested in trying new headers, new intake system and the spacer mentioned above. Then I'd have a pretty much free flow the whole route through the engine and would probably need to look at changing internals and such to get any more gains. Not sure what to do with the car now actually since this year and end last year sucked work wise.

Yeah you seem like a lucky bunch over there with Abbey allright

I've not had mine apart yet so I'm not sure, but my understanding is that it goes under the lower plenum and will therefore lift the whole lot by that amount. I would think it wont clear the standard strut, would need to find out before getting one I'd say. A.

yeah it does take a fair ammount of your 'free' time. TK, there you go ;-)

So you put a spacer in between the lower plenum and the upper? (In my case that wouldn't be the case) I'd be interested in testing that, do you know of anyone distributing these in Europe? Would be easy for me to install too, wonder if it would clear the standard sway bar? While I'm at it, anyone made their own intake system for the Z? ( If feel know that it's the most important upgrade for my current NA) A

Who's keeping track on the average age?

Is that you on the bike?
