  1. Got that exact one myself recently. Only used it a few times so far but it's great, no problems at all.
  2. Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts on these rear camber arms? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190469286107&viewitem=&clk_rvr_id=231914360552 They look decent and are rose jointed and for a very reasonable price, even after shipping from the US. Anyone got any opinions on these good/bad?
  3. Got a band new one for sale if you're interested http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=49233

  5. This will fit all single intake engines. The only engine it's not suitable for is the 2007 HR twin intake engine.
  6. For sale is a brand new HKS panel filter. Never been opened. These are great in the standard air box and are reusable. £22 +£3 for Delivery
  7. Just been to RS for the second time myself recently and had some bits fitted. Have a look here for my results http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=49141
  8. Cheers Yeah I'm pleased with the pulleys, glad I got them. I'm sure you'll be happy with the results once yours are fitted.
  9. Yeah that would be pretty sweet, but I'll make do with what I've got though
  10. Went to RS Tuning in Leeds today to finally get some bits fitted that have been waiting to go on for a while now and get the mapping adjusted. I already have the Uprev anyway so it was just a case of tweaking the map to accomodate the new items. Items to be fitted were: 1. Motordyne XYZ pipe with race cat 2. Decats 3. AMS light weight pulleys and new Gates belts On with the fitting! All the bolts came off pretty easy so no big drama removing the standard Y pipe and cats. Next up was the AMS pulleys. These were not so easy to replace Took about 3 hours to do this as they were obviously quite tricky to get to. All went on ok in the end though After everything was fitted it was time to adjust the mapping. This didn't take very long as Paul already had a map for a these mods from another customers car so it was a case of using this as a starting point and tweaking to suit my car. Not much to see really but here's a couple of pics of the car on the dyno Here's the dyno results And that was it done and dusted! Went for a spin around the block with Paul to see how it felt and I have to say the mid range grunt is now pretty epic It feels like it's revving much more quickly and easily now thanks to the light weight pulleys. As an added bonus it now sounds more agressive at mid to high RPM, but still relatively subdued at lower RPM, which is perfect for me It hasn't gained a huge amount of top end power according to the dyno sheet (was 294bhp previously so a gain of 8bhp) but Paul said this was partly down to the ambient temperature being around 30 degrees . Made 302 bhp at the fly but Paul said on the road with air flowing rather than on a dyno it would easily make 310 bhp so I'm happy with that. Overall I'm really happy with the end result. It feels and sounds much more like a proper sports car now
  11. Correct size for front tyres on Rays is 225
  12. I'd suggest going to some tattoo conventions and finding artists that do the sort of style you like and talk to them about what you want. Do your research and find lots of reference pics and take it from there.
  13. Haven't actually got any myself but I really want a Japanese sleeve and I've been researching it for over a year now. I've found the style I want and it looks like this It's done by a guy in Amsterdam called Rob Admiraal. His stuff is amazing!
  14. If you use one of these http://www.revotec.com/coldairfeeds.htm you could leave the gauze in or even put some foam in it to restrict air flow if it's getting too cool.
  15. Maybe one of these http://www.revotec.com/airintakeducts.htm or one of these (without the hose) http://www.revotec.com/coldairfeeds.htm I reckon these would give a much neater look than drilling a series of small holes.
  16. Have a look here http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=157&t=46541 he will sort you out with something decent for a good price.
  17. Wow that's a lot of pictures Looking very shiney
  18. for the mesh. I think you'll need to Dremel out the existing grille.
  19. Would be very interesting to see what gains could be had on a rev up engine although from the sound of it you'd need to do headers too. Dread to think what the labour costs would be for them fitted though
  20. Looking good I've also been thinking about getting my MREV2 ceramic coated, just need some spare funds. Any details about what's involved with the porting then?
  21. noob question but which attachment is that? Can't remember which one it was now, but there's only two nozzles. One direct jet and one wide spray. Just try them out
  22. Yeah it was more powerful than I was expecting too! I have a slight confession actually. After I gave it the first blast I might have accidentally said quite loudly "it's like a gun... IT'S LIKE A GUN!!!!!!!!" Aaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, probably best not to blast the cars paint with full power. I'd use the wide spray attachment and use it at a reasonable distance so it's not too harsh.
  23. Don't forget to factor in the cost of import taxes and VAT on top of delivery. As elfman said, best to
