My favourite wheels ! 

Stunning

Love the colour, just think it doesn't suit the wheels

Spacers fitted yesterday evening. And a good wash today. 

 

Next on the isolation to do list:

Lay a concrete slab in the garden (not Zed related) 

Polish exhaust

Re-paint door handles

 

Something about a stock 350z that looks just “right”. I think Nissan got the design spot on especially with the rays wheels. In my opinion a lot of the body kitted, black painted wheels mods that owners do to 350z’s actually detract from what is a handsome looking car in stock form. I know it’s a person thing (hell I’ve modified my own Z) but here’s a big thumbs up to stock Z’s.

You'll see in his build thread the info you seek

Love the pic from above of the 370 on the cobbles and the 350 alpine scene

I've just bought a set of used fast intentions HFC's  but I need all new gaskets for them so 2x triangular 3 hole gasket for between HFC and manifold and 2 x diamond shape 2 hole for between HFC and y pipe. I can get them from plenty of places in the States but with shipping to me here in oz it's very expensive so I thought I'd see if anyone had a set lying around for reasonable money.

Thanks

Pic for reference

Yup, no other symptoms. 

Head gasket failure between cylinders causing compression loss ? I'd do a compression test + leak down test

Stillen

Hate it when simple jobs go bad. I must add a set of toe arms to my long wish list. Keep up the good work

2019 car, take it to the dealer, it's under warranty. Might be the fuel damper making the noise

How much did they offer you ?

Damn OZ laws means I can't change my steering wheel.  Alcantara steering wheel looks and feels great.

Went for a de- stress drive after a hectic week at work and remembered to take some pics for once

I noticed that with the 370 

Now mine is charged 5500 rpm is where it get going now 

Notice you have the Quaife lsd, what is your opinion on it?

I've also had a Z4M/E92 M3 and their engines are as smooth as silk right up to the redline. Whereas I do love my 370Z for sure but the engine feels pretty rough after about 6000rpm and it goes against the fact that max power is at 7000rpm so really you should be revving it right out to 7500rpm.

 

The VQ engine does feel far more muscular lower down the revs than the S54/S65 engines I agree. 

I'd love a z4m coupe but here in OZ they're do damn expensive. 

Welcome. Looks silver in the 3 pics. What brought you back from ze Germans. I went from an E46 M3 to a 370z . I do miss the M3's engine, it was glorious especially with the csl airbox. The 370 engine feels more muscular but just doesn't really seem to have a sweet spot where as the M3 flew after 5500rpm all the way to 8000rpm.

Awful pics but great shine 

I run 255 35 19 Yokohama AD08R tyres on the front of my 370 with no problems. MPS4S are available in this size.

I'm still in OZ and couldn't imagine moving back to the UK but best of luck with your move. 370z's do have a few issues but can be permanently fixed if they need sorting.

Early models (think pre 2012) can suffer from the oil Gallery gaskets failing. 

Clutch slave cylinders can fail but plenty of uprated options out there .

Electronic steering lock can fail but pulling the fuse to disable it should prevent it from failing.

Oil temps do run high which is an easy fix by fitting an after market oil cooler.

All cars have weak points and the 370 is no exception but once they've been sorted these are pretty tough old cars .

Your now famous down under

I can't comment on how they effect handling as I've never used spacers but I guess you could take yours off and see if you notice a difference, then let us know. They do look good on your car though 

Looks like you may have wheel spacers too

What about the Evo r rear wing ? It's a bit bigger than the Nismo

No worries  Yeh so that was another little headache. For some reason Nissan decided to make the nismo headlamp washers smaller than the GT spec, so they dont fit in the nismo holes. Well at least the whole unit doesnt. I have decided short term, to just unclip the washer covers and double sided tape them to the bumper. So i dont actually have headlight washers currently.

 

I have no idea how much the nismo headlight washer units are to buy...

I decided to enlarge the holes, so now they fit fine.
