SHEZZA

Do you mean the two plates which sit at each end of the pads ? Corrosion behind these usually pushes the plates forward causing the pads to be a tight fit. Usual trick to fix this is to grind the metal off the end of the pads a bit. Though not too much so they are loose.

Ok found it, it's a boot tray. http://www.afsi.eu/sites/default/files/cv/admin/Nissan_350Z.pdf Here's one on eBay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-350Z-BOOT-TRAY-H4906-CD000-/252059024136 Bargain for someone.

I have one of these,was in the car when I bought it. I seem to remember reading something about sound deadening. Like you say it's genuine and a well made bit of kit with a nice metal Z badge on it. Well worth the asking price I'd say.

+1 with that. Don't get it from the U.S. As it won't fit, as it's the wrong hand side.

The one part in the last three pics is the W brace and looking at your pics that will definitely need replacing id say as it looks totally shot at the one end.

Happy Birthday Andy.

Bump.

Yep don't go too far mate I thought it looked bang on and loved the colour and the hydro dipping, even the other half said she liked it and she rarely comments.

Was that on the 300 stand or another stand ? any pics I'll have a wild guess and say that was you ! Haha. loving your bay by the way I was there on the 300ZX stand with my black nismo kitted 350Z

Welcome Dave. There's no membership fee mate it's a free forum !

I'll leave this here. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/96181-ace-cafe-pictures-21st-march-2015/page__hl__cafe

Really sorry to see this mate after seeing your car on several occasions and being taken round donington in it, it was a credit too you. A truly loved Zed. The main thing is your ok and you'll be back up and running in no time.

+1 Sorry didn't see you before we left, no doubt we'll see you again though at LakeZ next year. I'm already looking into a bigger tent ! Haha

Just clicked the link in your sig and it was your car that has made my mind up... Cheers for having a quick chat with me saturday dude, your car is a beaut Cheers dude and no problem , glad to help you to finally make your mind up. Welcome to the club, make sure to introduce yourself and keep an eye out in the zeds for sale section.

Unless your lowered I'd stick with the genuine Oem ones from Clark Motorsport. No messing, job done.

Cheers again Gaz for organising the weekend for us and all others that helped and made us feel so welcome. Myself and Louise had a great time, all be it a little cramped in the little two man tent ! Haha ( must get a bigger one for next time ) Thanks again Mark

Yes that would be a very obvious mod. I should imagine it was fitted by itself. Maybe the previous owner took the car on track a bit. As for fans I'd check that out as the should work.

Helps to cool the oil. Usual mod for supercharged/turbocharged zeds

Bushes are about £160 plus a couple of hours labour and alignment cost me roughly £300 from memory.

Pipes to an oil cooler. Which have been added by a previous owner. Do the pipes go to a small radiator at the front.

I can't get the video clip to play on my iPad but this made me chuckle OP it sounds like you need to get it to a mechanic as soon as. +1 Ah those were the day's!

Hopefully see you there Dave. I owe you a beer/coke.

£15 for a day ticket

It's my first time going to this so not sure about what's going to happen Sunday but have a look here for what's on. Seems to be plenty going on, on the Sunday. http://www.japcarclub.org/

Here you go , copied from website 2003-2005 Nissan 350Z (single throttle body engine models)- Will NOT fit the 2006 350Z models. 2003-2007 Infiniti G35 (single throttle body engine models) 2003-2008 Infiniti FX35 This new intake plenum replaces the upper half of your factory intake manifold. This plenum bolts directly up to your car with zero modifications, and also allows the use of the factory strut bar, and engine cover. This unit will fit the 350z, the G35, and the FX. *** Kinetix's engine cover may not fit with the G35 or the FX35 when using this plenum. ** This plenum increases the volume to the middle and more importantly the front cylinders. The factory plenum utilizes a very aggressive angle as it caps off the front cylinders. This new plenum equalizes the flow to all cylinders, while also increasing the total plenum volume. This plenum also uses a very versatile plastic to achieve a smooth interior for superior flow properties. The plastic also allows a lighter overall weight, by about 3 lbs. The overall temperatures of the plenum have also decreased by about 50 degrees Fahrenheit. This helps with heat soak problems and to help lower air intake temperatures. Our plenum has shown a solid peak gain of 14 rwhp and a consistent gain throughout the RPM range. When matched up with our high flow cats, they together have shown peak gains of 20 rwhp. The plenum still retains all factory mounting points and also includes all necessary new hardware. The plenum also includes a permanently adhered flange gasket that is to be used with the factory gasket as well as a new throttle body gasket. Hope this helps.
