Dan, you have an eloquence I admire

That's my opinion and that of someone who works with CF all the time. When sanding down or even chemically stripping to remove the paint its very easy to breach the lacquer and damage the weave and once this has happened it can't be fixed. Color coding the strip will not detract from the large area of CF exposed for all to see. In a way it blends nicely than the shut line being the boundary between the CF bonnet and the panels. Just an opinion but if you want to have a go a stripping the paint its your bonnet once you buy it

Olly is right the raised bonnet will not aid cooling but would make it worse. The bonnet vents remove air through the Venturi principle as the air rushing above creates low pressure. The angle between the bonnet and windscreen is a high pressure area with turbulence and will impair air venting out off the engine bay from the top. It will also decrease radiator efficiency as air is trapped within the engine bay. However most of the cooling happens at the underside where low pressure air suck air out of the engine bay through a well designed under stray. So similarly if you ran without your engine under tray you would not only affect the aerodynamics but cooling too.

Bump Will take £325 for Seibon bonnet. All pms replied to!

+3 So far as you reseal the lights properly after blacking them out condensation will not be an issue. Personall the grill and the tango reflectors is what makes it tame so changing the 2 would be a bug change or go the full hug with the nismo, eyelids, blacked out lights and de tango FTMFW!

Go to bed you!

@ Lewis: You got my response on delivery but never got a reply. Bump for offers. Some more stuff to be added as soon as I can put up pics. - KW V3 coilovers. - rebuilt by KW Germany so like new. - Eibach toe bolts - used - OEM toe arm and spring bucket arms with uprated urethane bushes pressed in. Covered under 4k miles. - other small bits and bobs

I have a seibon carbon fibre bulge bonnet for sale. It's at RTP in wembley. See link. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/76332-fs-vortech-filter-seibon-hr-bonnet-oem-parts/

I've got genuine thick pile 350z boot and passenger side mat for sale If you are interested. Got nismo but not for sale unless you are making an offer I can't refuse

Get buddyclub seat rail! £150 on eBay when I got it earlier this year. Perfect fit.

Need a loan exhaust while I'm waiting for my new exhaust system to turn up in the next week or two. I'll arrange pick and send beer money for your trouble

Kudos to you fit trying this. Should not be too hard to copy what has been done by STS in the states if you have fabbing skills but trying to make it complicated with a dedicated oil system maybe a mistake as goes the adage " don't fix it if .....,........ A good HD scavenge oil pump and good drainage setup will take care of business. My preferred option would be to go with the boosted performance mid mounted turbo kit which has clear advantages over the rear mount. The guy is amazing with Fabbing and specced some very good parts to his builds. I would have gone with his system instead of sc but for the issues if fitting as it has been developed on RHD cars. The issue about lag with the rear mount is not as bad as usually thought on paper. The reviews are very favourable. Go to my 350z.com and read in both systems which will put you in good stead. Good luck.

Should be an easy repair. If you are in the London area give RTP a bell and they would sort it for you

New stuff added.

To hit 800-1000bhp you need - a forged engine with low compression pistons and ideally even stroked and sleeved.my preference is the 3.9l stroker kit from Brian crower. - good return fuel system. Eg CJM stage 3 with twin fuel pumps or big single pump. - 1200-2000 cc injectors eg injector dynamics - NOS or meth/water injectoin for cooling ideally and more power. - Twin turbo kit with the right sized turbo - free flowing exhaust and headers - Kinetix SSV intake or Cosworth - upgraded MAF unless you use a standalone ECU which supports MAP tuning (my preference) - cooling mods: oil cooler, bigger radiator, uprated fans etc - uprated 2-3 step colder plugs - uprated clutch. Carbonetic or exedy triple plate clutch. - then everything else to support a car with 1000bhp and dependent on intended usage eg track or drag or drift or just show and shine. Eg brake upgrade etc Speak to Advanced motor engineering or Tony here who who has a 1000bhp zed. It's hard work and deep pocket stuff. In anycase my zed with 430whp SC'ed is mighty quick in track and I eventually I'll take it to 500+ whp but I can't ever see why I would need more!!! Traction will be a biatchh to start with the reliability. Goodluck and keep us posted.

You're a dead mofo!

Very tasty Graham! I always thought when I get a GTR it would be black but my mind is changed for good now:D I like everything you've done so far. Keep up the good work.

+1 or fit a super/turbocharger I have a similar set up and my guage sits just a tad higher than yours but this means nothing as what you need is to log oil temps and wrt this my temps are just perfect in all driving conditions.

Hey Ady get gulf competition 5w 40.

Graham! I have tried but the force is so strong with him! He is possessed and that's final

What the world coming to

Bump

I was going to say the replaced parts look somewhat upside down?? Why don't you fit your ART pipes and get on Yaaaarrrrrrrrpppping
