  1. Tasty ðŸ‘😎
  2. I know what I would have done with £108 burning a hole in my pocket.......................,.................................. Fill up and head out for some good local roads and enjoy a good hoon😎! I have to do this once a month at least as my zed doesn't get a lot action most weeks(<50mpw)and I notice so much moisture in the oil which promptly disappears after a good seeing toðŸ‘. I would waste time with Terraclean or flushes for that matter. The key to good engine life is: - high quality fuel - high quality oil and frequent changes(6-9k) depending on driving usage. - mechanical sympathy - good balance of mixed driving to keep everything in good condition.
  3. Looking good bizz👠I like the V3 bumper. Giving me ideas now😎 mmmmmm

  5. ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘👠Wel deserved tall fella!
  6. I'm not overly convinced with the Ultra Racing replacement's quality either plus it looks smaller. I wonder if Clarke/Tarmac etc would consider a group buy on these, got to be plenty of Zed's out there with W braces in really bad condition by now. Ultra racing have a solid reputation in Oz so I wouldn't be hasty to diss the engineering. That brace only ties the 2 sides of the chassis together to stop flex in the horizontal plane its only as thick it needs to be. The actual OEM brace is not thicker it just looks wider because of the flat section which is probably designed to help smoothen air flow.
  7. Vortech filter SOLD! Can't believe the bonnet lifter have not gone offers
  8. Robbo, its a great exhaust. Lighter than stock, quiet on normal driving but comes alive over 3000-3500rpm. A bit louder and deeper than stock but quieter than the nismo or scorpion. The only comparison is the Miltek. However if you want more noise add decats or HFC.
  9. Sorry to hear about the find but I'm with Docwra on this. If it ain't broke don't fix it. If it was shoddy your crankshaft would have already lunched the bearing, big end shells and more.

    Manifolds?

    +1 Should have added that on my post. We also had the GB off but that was to change the clutch all within that stated time andit sure makes life easy.

    Manifolds?

    It's worth doing and not going to make just 10hp. There is more to it than that. It's it labour intensive but its not 12hrs. I did mine on a ramp with my mechanic friend in under 5 hours. You could do the same on high axles stands with friends if you are mechanically inclined and have tools. There are a few tricks to help it go easier. Remove the Ac compressor, disconnect the steering rack and coolant pipes on driver side. Buy good quality though I would not buy ceramic coated ones because they are usually made of mild steel which is thermally poor material for exhaust and over time can fail. The ceramic coating is also a gimmick and not the real deal like offered by Zircotec. Get stainless steel and heat wrap with good quality thermal wrap. SS has best thermal conductivity and heat resistant. Protect your fuel lines with reflective wrap as you will loose your heat shield. If you really want to keep cost down use the HR/370ztubular equal lenght manifold which will be a perfect fit and have heat shields but also be cheap from breakers. The only kicker is you need to swap you down pipes(decat/cats/HFC) to HR/370 ones as the DE type will not fit. Goodluck
  12. Parts are labelled.
  13. Doesn't Mishimoto sell a 350z specific coolant hose kit for the zed? Why faff around measuring and cutting etc. For what it's worth I big coolant pipes are 34mm when I measured to get water temp sensor adapter. So the either will be ok but I'ld go 35mm
  14. Still PMSL after reading that advert!!! I always loved these and never got to own one. I may bid on it just for the advert alone.
  15. 2. -DE as a taster for 6 weeks and chopped in for. -Revup No zeds after this but I'm keep this until its on its last legs. Will still be staying with the Nissan family though.... Three letters sum it all.
  16. Cheeky sodðŸ‘
  17. Pm an offer I've got V2 T trim I am planning to upgrade to the new V2 Ti trim or V7 YSi. I got some firm interest but could be swayed to sell now. I doubt you will just get and impeller on its own. You options are: - send the blower to vortech for rebuild - trade in your damaged headunit for same one new or upgrade unit with vortech. - buying aftermarket impeller - buy a new - buy used head unit as above.
  18. 420bhp vs the standard 390bhp FX. 20mm lower, slightly stiffer suspension, cosmetic garnish and almost 50k more for this 2 ton + luxury barge is stupid if you ask me. I will not be fooled by all the vettel links and sporty looks because it will still handle like a boat. I'll take a used cayenne turbo, X5M or X6M all day and put 60-70k in my pocket.
  19. I had similar when paying at the pump and message popped up asking if I want to use my clubcard points worth 23p of a litre😇. Needless to say I went for a full tank👠Never had this before unless my wife has been using it as we share the same card😖
  20. How did I miss this 👀 ?? Some of the anecdotes are risible.🙀 Without a doubt the op has made the right tyre choice. The MPSS is among one of the best all round road tyre out there.
  21. Here's mine if it means anything to you boffins. Apparently the VAG Beissbarth system is the best one you can get, Nice sharing yours alignment printout and looks shockingly like you were way off and most of the geo has been restored to stock range but I am concerned that your right front parameter is way off the left suggesting something is wrong. Could be the bushes, failed damper or bent control arm; all guess work at this point so please investigate. Off course your car will feel better to drive coming from the boat settings you had before😎
  22. Happy birthday dudes🎂ðŸŽðŸŽ‰
  23. I can vouch for these. Had my set for 4 years (open ends)now and no issues. Taken then off and on a thousand times at least👀
  24. For who are NA: The baffled oil catch can will clean up the vented air going back into the plenum from the pcv valve. So its a good mod. You donot need a check valve as you are always in vacuum. Other than this you should keep the OEM system as it is. It's designed to use the vacuum from the engine to pull out the crankcase gases and your OEM ECU is tuned to accommodate for the unmetered air coming from the cc. However if you want the ultimate performance the vent both pcv ports to atmosphere and cap up the intake and plenum inlets then get an Uprev remap at the sometime so you have no contamination to your charge air and your cc vents freely.
