Z Boy

I'll try and get there on time this time!

nice black one at our place yesterday, oops sorry that was you Right Phil, if hes gone I will pop over I wish I could say there were no shiny bits left for you Martin but unfortunately my wallet was not big enough to clear them out! Seriously though, up and down the country and I never saw one Zed the whole time! Madness. I saw loads of R33's and they didn't even sell them in the UK!

I've driven from the South right up to the North twice in the last week, totalling around 1,500+ miles, and I didn't see one 350Z on the road the whole time! Where are they hiding?!

Martinmac Darren-B Mr F SMZ350 Stillen supercharger cavey M350ZB roast350z boomer816 Z Boy Will be good to see you guys again, the Zed's had a few more goodies since I last came to this meet. Martin, could I please get a couple of the club stickers? Preferably in silver or white.

Legend!!

My exhaust mounts are knackered and I need some new ones, there's a 2-3 week waiting list from Nissan so I'm gonna go down the route of some Powerflex ones. Does anyone know what sizes I need by any chance?

My car's got the V3 kit and a 30mm drop and even with one of those flat jacks I have to reverse onto some bits of wood.

That does look good. Can you remove the washer jet and replace that with a grommet too?

Brand new Nismo Y-Pipe for sale, never fitted. £250 or near offer! Thanks.

Helps with reversing in the morning!

The washer jets will look daft though.

I'm speechless. I've seen some pretty poor kits fitted and repairs from bodyshops but nothing to that extent. What on earth were they thinking!?!

This is probably an absolutely rediculous question but I'm booked in to have my car on the dyno tomorrow to see what power it's making and I remember when I had my MOT they could not put it on the brake rollers because of the diff, how is that any different to the rollers on a rolling road!? Also, what kind of power and torque should I expect to get at the wheels? It'll be a dyno dynamics roller.

The ECU was reset up there I believe! No engine lights on or anything..

"It'll only generate carbon and exhaust muck if the car is out of tune, and the AFRs are all over the place. Oh wait - they are, hence the popping and banging. For £50 I could register a company labelled as a 350Z tuner, sell you a megaphone exhaust and tell you it was running perfectly too. Claiming it does not make it true, sorry. As I said, post a dyno plot and I'll eat my words...heck I'll even apologise for doubting it. Or did they not actually test your car before claiming it was running perfectly, because the current evidence says otherwise."

Cheers. My only problem now is that the K1 is so loud it makes everything inside the car rattle and vibrate haha!

That's what I thought, even my Nismo did it. Everything seems ok!

Some guy with a Supra just heard my exhaust and said that because it's popping and banging a lot (my Nismo did it too) that my car is out of tune and my air-fuel ratios are all over the place hence it's running like crap and banging... Don't all the loud systems do that? I've got standard cats, Nismo Y-Pipe and an ESR K1, all the sound clips I've seen have done the same thing too. Is he talking crap?

K1 with baffles IN: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nrJHaoPAZqU New engine bay:

Not out of choice! Soooooo many things I wish I could have got.

lol cheers, yeh Ive seen that one too, its tried to be like its bigger brother but didnt quite work out, ha ha, kidding bud hope you are looking after her, my brother misses her bad Haha! Yeah it's all good mate, got some more interior carbon since you saw last, some engine bay bling from ESR yesterday and also got the K1 system you had on yours not too 'cos the Nismo blew itself to bits!

I'll post some up in a min!

Had my busted Nismo system removed and a K1 Exhaust into my Nismo Y-Pipe, got some standard cats to replace my knackered high flows, plenum spacer removed (mine was wayyyy too thick and I was losing power), carbon fiber battery and brake fluid covers, a nice shiney new strut bar and an oil change with some decent fully synthetic oil. The car pulls much more eagerly through the rev range now, sounds 10x nicer (and louder), and the engine bay looks wicked. Well happy!

Me and the gf just got back from ESR last night about 12:30am after a verrrrrry long day but I just wanna say a big big thank you to BigPhil, Andy and all the team at ESR, I'm absolutely chuffed to bits with the new mods and probably the best customer service you'd ever get anywhere else on the planet! Thanks again for doing your best to get my exhausts right, I felt like a bit of a pain in the bum everytime I came back but I'm happy with the outcome. Cheers guys! Gonna go for a drive now, my ears are still ringing even with the bungs in!

Awesome video Jay. I see a black Zed that looks just like yours all the time 'round here. In fact it usually parks in MY driveway, the cheek of it!
