Damn it, this just what I’m looking for only for a 370z. A very good deal for someone out there. Good luck with the sale

Fitted a small In-line switch to the power supply of the YAW sensor the other day. Never realised how much the TCS interfered with the drive of the car even when it was apparently turned off! I've left it completely turned off ever since. Probably one of my favourite, cheap modifications I have done! 

 

More car parts are on their way as well. Watch this space 

 

I did the same thing a few months ago only I cheated and bought a ready made kit from a member trader on here. Found it irritating how the stability control kept on intervening during play time so now it's permenantly off. Only thing now is, with the sticky tyres I have its highlighted how poor the stock lsd is and how the stock seats have very little lateral support. Time for an o's giken lsd, 3.9 fd and a pole position recaro seat.

As Ekona said, the feel they give makes such a difference to how much confidence it gives you when cornering. Playing with pressures at the moment, with ambient temps at 24c ,I set the front and rears to 30 psi cold which when hot had risen to 34 front and 32 rear. Could do with some advice regarding pressures.

Just been out in the mountains to see what difference a decent set of tyres make and I can confirm , it's alot. These tyres have way more grip than I have talent and it has made the car so much more fun to drive . Worth noting I went with 255/35/19 up front but kept the stock size rears.

Yeah it’s great here I love it, snakes,fires,cyclones,crocs,sharks,spiders,jelly fish and all 

oh and not forgetting the suicidal Roos that are determined to kill me and themselves every time I drive at night

Oh and this pic my wife took in the middle of the day

Normally looks like this 

Dead opposite my house 

I’m emigrated to oz three years ago, I’m in Victoria so if I can offer any help advice drop me a pm. P.s I did the partner visa too

Ha ha, my Dad lives in Kent so no problem with shipping.  What the hell else do you get a 70 year old Dad that loves his Z ?

Why didn’t I see this earlier, it’s my dads 70th in July and was looking for something special for him and as he is a huge z fan and loves his 350 that would have been perfect. Well if you decided to make another I’d bite your arm offfor one .

Looked better standard, but as it’s a track I guess looks are not top priority. What tyres are you using ?

Went from 350z. Had a civic beforehand. Thought about it for all of 4 weeks then bought one. Same goes with the 370. Went to see it at the show room then 2 months later got one. 370z was much smoother for me. 350 had a better seating position

Agree on the 370z seating position, it’s way too high 

May as well add that I've also had

4 opel mantas

2 AE86 corolla

2 mk1 mr2's

1.9 gti Peugeot 205

325i bmw

3 mk2 mr2 turbo's

S15 silvia

1.6 sr corolla coupe (1982)

Wide bodied 2.6 starion

Rwd starlet

And lots of other less interesting cars

That's a fair coincidence, the same cars and in the same order as me haha, you've clearly got good taste 

 

Although I am really eager for a porsche even just for a year then get a 370z. so if money allows I'll get a Cayman s if not a 370 and put porsche dreams on hold.

 

my s2000 never had issue at all  from 100k to 118k apart from a worn chain tensioner but you could remove the drive worm inside, sand blast it to rough it up again and put back together (a little tip i learnt off another owner, new ones were £270)

I had 52 reg with hardtop. Id have another one in a heartbeat, brilliant little car and better looking than the gen1 z4 or boxster competitors.

My s2000 was a 2007 model and under warranty it needed 

new clutch

new engine short block

new VSC ECU (stability/traction control )

hood catches 

I must say Honda were superb in replacing the above and always gave me a courtesy car. I’d love a Porsche but scared of their durability and how much it will cost to keep it tip top. I live about 3 hours from the nearest Porsche dealer so a bit of a trek for a service. I did consider an e92 m3 but was not impressed with it compared to the e46, it was technically better in every way than the e46 but just felt a bit too refined for my taste. I also considered a z4m coupe but they are very rare and expensive here in Oz. 

   I’m loving the 370z and plan on keeping it for a long time. It recently went on a trip into the mountains with v8 mustangs,falcons,and utes, rx8 and focus rs and the z was superb especially the brakes . Usually I have my eye on a future replacement but for once I have no plans at all, the big Z is here to stay .

S2000 to 350z to E46 m3 to 370z. s2000 was great but bloody unreliable. Loved my 350z , a great all rounder. M3 was epic only sold it to come here to Oz. 370z best looking of the group and joint quickest with m3, just wish the engine had more character .

MCA here in oz make very very good coilovers. I have there purple versions in tarmac spec . They've just brought out Stance spec which would suit you . They make fully custom spec too. Have a read up about them, they're very highly regarded here . https://mcasuspension.com/

If you have a manual gearbox then change the clutch fluid (rbf 600 )

Last week's drive up into the mountains with alot of v8's 

Well the module finally made it here down under. I just finished fitting it and so far all seems good. Push the button and the lights on the dash light up telling me everything is off. Not had time to drive it yet but I don't anticipate any issues. Install instructions were excellent although I had to laugh as step 1 was to disconnect the battery and then step 2 said move the seat (electric ) all the way forward. Also you don't have to remove the gear knob  (I didnt) I just leant the back end of the centre column up against the passenger headrest and this gave me enough room to access the yaw control box. 

 Very impressed with the product and the service.

Did you use Nissan gearbox oil ?

Have you changed the oil in it ?

Absolutely stunning, not  only do you have talent, you also have taste too, truly inspiration work my friend 

Looks great although I’ve never liked the trend to paint wheels black, I think it looked much better silver but as long as you are happy

Arrived today , just waiting for my brother to post it to me down under. Why can’t all traders have service this good !
