Surely it will be cheaper long run to buy a 2way clutch type diff when you add up the labour cost of shimming, parts, diff oil, time and hit and miss results or even a 1.5way for the best of both worlds and use some bald tyres and set you suspension to reduce rear end grip if needed

Will probably be useless if you have a BBK aswell That true, well noted

Ditched my spare wheel ages ago and i think it has been good think from handling and weight saving perspective. I have got 2 cans and never had to use them Note: if you have 19" then the spare wheel is useless anyway Unless you can source 19" re-lacement or get after market space savers with a compressor like the Porkers. Chris make me an offer for the spare

nice

Bloody hell! You're still alive then? +1 on that

Very good decision Fee Congratulations Check out the meet dates for you region! will be worthwile

I am pedantic i know and like myself some others like to know all these type of facts Thats whats a forum is partly for init? And next time don't read it

How will the tyre profile set off TCS?. The profile or AR is only a percentage of the tyre width so 265/35 is 35% of 265mm. the important thing is the rolling radius or diameter or circumference of the tyre (whichever you prefer) which gives you the size of the tyre to which TCS is set. So eg 225/445/18(659.7mm) is the same diameter(within 2.5%) as 295/30/19(659.6mm) as even 305/25/20(660.5mm) the only difference the width This is the only limitation to fitting wider wheels of the 2.5% of same rolling raduis will be the available arch size and the wheel itself( ET and width). But by your logic all M3 will have TCS issues (225/40/19 255/35/19) but rather it is so to give the sidewal l profile the same aesthetic look (thickness) Anyway I'm only trying to help no need pull my leg

12.9............. 10.4HP over stock filter is complete BS. I posted about this filter malarky on Andlids thread (can't find it) a while ago and and put up the relevent tests/links FYI and it is a complete nonsence that you can make as much power from a changing panel filters infact the OEM paper filter was as good as all these uprated stuff but most importantly it did what it said on the tin......................filter the air from crap . Most of the aftermarket guys claim in their market ploy that their filters flow more and filters more but how can that be; to flow more you need to filter less and if that the case that is bad for you engine The restriction is not the filter but rather the air pickup, airbox design and intake piping itself( route and size are usually a compromise) and to prove this the tester removed completely the filter and there was no significant difference in measured flow and similarly HP The same test measured pressure differences on both of all the panel filters on test and OEM filter and no significant drop demonstrated and they(filters) all showed similar flow results. From a filtration point of view the manufactures have spent milions in R&D and testing miles to arrive to the OEM paper design and it is not by fluke ( you would be surprised that foam filters, cloth, cones etc have all been used before ). Andlids tests was comparing the filtration properties of cone filters and the Apexi one came first. but it did not test the OEM filter If it did, it would have shown as did the results from the test i posted that OEM filters best or as good as SOME aftermarket filters and thats the job its there for The test went further to see at what point does the OEM filter get clogged up to become less effiecient and it was about 10K miles if i recall correctly and this raises the point that apart from risking your engine with these aftermarket items that promise unlimited use or can be reused after washing eg 50K miles like in K&N's case is BS as by then its incompetent as a filter. So this brings even more advantage for the OEM paper jobie which cost under £10! You can change it 2 or 3 times a year before it cost the price of a typical aftermarket stuff and you know it will do its job. The final discussion of the test was that if you want to improve intake flow in general, then you need to modify the airbox and piping ie less tortuous course and large diameter which is not easy as the manufacturer was also hampered by packaging the engine, noise issues, reliability etc when designing the cars and often the intake is an after thought. I was impressed by this test because it was meticulous, look at all aspects and was standardised. But most important it was an exercise in science rather than sponsored to purport a particular result or trend. it also covered several popular areas of content like turbocharging, NOS etc. I must find it Personally i feel the K&Ns , cosworth, Apexi, HKS and other bignames in the industry make relatively decent panel filters with reasonable filtration properties but it is just a cash cow for them as they prey on the unsuspecting modder and charge absurb prices when the OEM stuff is a good'un. After 10k completed miles my HKS is going to the bin and i'll be buying the Mahle paper filter bi-annually. I only do about 10-12k a year but this year will be sub 5-7k

No mate the profile's got nothin' to do with it The aim is always to stay within +/-2.5 the same rolling radius of the original wheel you are replacing check a wheel calculator to satisfy yourself Anyway i have ran this for ages even with 265/30 in front and no TCS issues just endless grip and nice steering feel http://www.alloywheels.com/tyrecalc.asp#

I liked that avatar too GLWTS.

If you are rolling then go for 295/30/19 for the best fit Its a huge huge change in dry grip levels from 275 but it likes to play when wet or icy butwith my setup always progressive and controlable................................at the right speeds

Why risk it when you can get the original LED from ZMANALEX for £240 or less if preowned(Goes for £200 ono) and offset this cost with you non-LED lights which fetch about £80 or less if the are a few on sale I think someone got similar to this from the US and the fittings are different so he had to cut both looms and connect the wires directly

I have got these Gates belts(New) which is now surplus to requirement you can have it for £30 same as i got it Pm if interested!

So its you i have spotted around the area then Thrice infact once in my zed and twice in my peuguot 308

10.5k will be a steal for such a lovely car Its more like £11.5 IF i were you i would partout the mods as the car would still sell at £9999 easy:teeth: Coilies, zorts, rotas , D1, injen and decats will easily fetch over £1.5K If you don't have the OEM replacement i have a few going cheap

££

I see you waste no time Cast your eye on the FS section as there are stuff always going for sale.

Any zed will be good from 2002-2009 even the 370Z too. they are a real drivers car and punch above their weight in many respects. As for mods there are many routes and it will depend on you and budget The most important thing is to get a car with good history and evidence that all is well but as a rule they are hard as nails mechanically and the little niggles are easy fixes! There are so many resources on the forum so don't get lazy read through the stuff and only then would your questions define what you want otherwise you will end up doing what we want since you will have very little opinion

congratulations. Wonderful days it must have been. Enjoyed while it last as the zed has stiff competition from now on especially when sprogs come later in the pics

Yes anders more pics please WRT oil any fully synthetic 5w30 or 5/40 is more than adequate for trackday use. The important bit is to try and preserve the longevity or rather maintain the quality of the oil so it performs optimally by enhancing cooling, hence why an oil cooler kit and extra sump volumes are highly recommended for tracking/racing. Also frequent oil service keeps it fresh. I do a DIY oil service every 4500 miles which is just an extra oil service between scheduled P service. AP racing 6/4pot (362mm/330mm rotors) kit with Pagid RS29 yellows are a marriage made in heaven but too expensive hence i went with Ksport. Not sure if Pagid do this for OEM brembos if so they will be the ones to get or the PF 01pads. I tried to get prices for the RJN brake duct cooling kit but they were so busy preparing for the 24 nurburgring race that i got fed up chasing them But to be honest i can do without them as Steve pointed out too

Way to go Anders nice laps....short and sweet Next time front views with onboard shorts. You will be fine with uprated brembo setup but if you got the performance friction rotor a would get also get their 01 race pads which outclass DS 2500.
