    New Brakes

    I've not used any EBC disks myself but I was under the impression that they're not really suitable for track use. You may end up spending more in the long run if you're planning on doing track days as I don't think the EBC's will stand up to the abuse. If it were me I would spend the extra and maybe get a 2 piece disk, although obviously cost is a factor.
  2. I'm with Adrian Flux and adding an induction kit, braided brake lines and a few cosmetic bits under the bonnet hasn't put up my premium at all. Basically, body kits or anything which increases the power will put up the annual cost with them.
  3. Thanks for the info Alex, much appreciated
  4. Is it likely to have caused any damage to the disk? Will I be ok driving it if that's the case? I'm a bit worried about making things worse
  5. Had my front pads changed with some Ferodo DS2500 on Tuesday. Drove home and everything seemed fine. Just been out now and when I'm driving I'm getting a metallic grinding/whining noise. It doesn't happen when I'm braking, only when I'm driving along. Anyone got any suggestions as to what could be causing this? I'm going to phone the garage that did them for me tomorrow morning, but I'm a bit worried at the moment
  6. I'm really looking forward to seeing some pics of this carbon plenum, sounds very interesting
  7. Servicing is every 9,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. The services go P1, P2, P1, P3 so assuming you had a P1 done in 2008 when it was a year old it will now need a P2 as it is 2 years old Costs vary from area to area so I'd phone around and see who's offering the best rate. Not sure on the alarm issue, hopefully others can advise.
  8. The same thing happened to me a few years ago when I had a Fiat Punto. Dented my bonnet and roof quite badly. I was so annoyed when I saw it the next morning . Can't believe some people think things like this are funny. At least it's not the zed though
  9. Here are the scans of the fitting instructions for anyone else who may need it
  10. Hi Stew, that sounds like a good idea. Is there any way I can upload a PDF for people to download or do I just need to post up the individual pages as images?
  11. I'll definitely have one of these 1) stichy 2) Goatboy 3) nurrish 4) Rawbhp 5) rtbiscuit 6) introspect
  12. No worries, I'll do it when I get home from work
  13. Is it the HKS Racing Suction kit as shown here http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=27599 If so I have the instructions which I could scan and email to you this evening . The text is all in Japanese, but the exploded diagram is pretty easy to follow. The hardest part for me was fitting the heat shield. I'm sure if you've fitted a pop charger before then this won't be too difficult for you
  14. To be honest with you, if you don't want adjustability and you want to keep standard ride height and you're not doing track days I'm not sure there's much benefit in upgrading the suspension. I find the standard setup more than adequate for general/fast road use. Hopefully others with an upgraded setup can offer their opinion too
  15. Damn, I want one for a weekend too! That's really good, how did you manage to wangle that? Yeah I think it'll probably be a bit of a soft sell scenario but I think it's a good excuse for an afternoon out. Pity there's no GT-R there, I'd DEFINITELY be up for a drive in that
  16. I didn't sign up to anything but I bought my 350z new in 2007 so I guess I'm on their database because of that.
  17. Yesterday I received an invite to Silverstone for a drive in a 370z . Phoned up and booked myself a 2.30 slot on Friday 30th. I was told it was a 20 min drive on track and then a drive on roads around Silverstone. I was just wondering if anyone else had done one of these and is it worth it? I live in Manchester so it's a bit of a long way for 20 min of track time . Just thought I'd see what others think. I've never been to Silverstone before so I guess it might be worth it just to have a nose around.
  18. If there's a group buy for one of those bad boys I'd definitely be interested
  19. Hi, I get my oil from Opie Oils http://www.opieoils.co.uk who are very helpful and will recommend what's best for you (and you'll get a discount for being a member of this forum ) For engine oil I'm using Silkoline Pro S 5W 30 which is great stuff and not crazy expensive either! Not sure about the gearbox and diff oil but I'm sure others will advise or just speak to Opie Oils Hope that helps a bit
  20. Yeah it looks a bit grubby in that picture doesn't it Not really sure what to use for cleaning the engine bay with though. Anyone have any recommendations?
  21. Polished plenum would be really cool! So many things I'd like to do. What I'd really like is the Motordyne plenum spacer and MREV 2 and then maybe a cheeky remap from RS tuning. Need to get some more money together before that happens though
