Mmmmmmmmmmm, retro

Hahahahaha He looks like a turtle that's been put on it's back and can't get up. Pure genius!

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.

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.

Thanks for the info Alex, much appreciated

Suspect that the back plate may now be touching the disc.

 

Back to the garage for rectification.

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

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

Damn, that interior looks sweet!

I'm really looking forward to seeing some pics of this carbon plenum, sounds very interesting

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.

Holy Mother That is mucho grande!

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

Here are the scans of the fitting instructions for anyone else who may need it

Loving the Alcantara in the back

If you can, put the instruction up here too and we'll add it as a guide.

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?

I'll definitely have one of these

2) Goatboy

3) nurrish

4) Rawbhp

5) rtbiscuit

No worries, I'll do it when I get home from work

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

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

I've got 1 of these invites. Came yesterday

 

Bought mine new in feb 2009. It's got sales pitch written allover it. Its a long way to drive from Yorkshire to Silverstone for a test drive. Althoough the track time would be fun.

 

I'll wait till they ring me and offer me 1 for a weekend again. (Full of fuel too when I collected it).

 

I'd rather use their petrol than mine.

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

How do you get these invites, is there something to sign up to?

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.

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.

If there's a group buy for one of those bad boys I'd definitely be interested

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
