  1. 350Z Roadster - Vehicle not homologated for towing
  2. So how do you find out how much the z would be able to tow? A
  3. 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 It looks like it's now been superceded by the new velocity manifold though: http://www.kinetixracing.com/new-ssvext ... 03-06.aspx Thats the one I got not sure, think for N/A it might have been a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.
  4. Yeah you seem like a lucky bunch over there with Abbey allright
  5. 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.
  6. yeah it does take a fair ammount of your 'free' time. TK, there you go ;-)
  7. 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
  8. Who's keeping track on the average age?

Haltech has some dealer seminar (training for dealers) but don't know if they do any of them in Europe.

(one with lowish pressure and one with a higher one, maybe even one when YOU'RE not driving the car!) All the best! A.

  12. If it's looked after I wouldn't see a problem with 100k+ ? Depends on the kind of miles thats been put on the car, not sure how long the Z engine is built to last for... Would you buy an FI car that has 60k on it with FI been on it for 20k? Would you buy a NA car that has done 30 hours on a track? <2.5k Hard isn't it?
