I agree to a certain extent. But I have to mod any car I own even if it's the smallest way possible. I mod because I like it, makes me bond with my car , And it gives me a feeling of making my car more efficient or getting the best from it. Espicially since I started working on my car myself it's a nice feeling of achievement when you mod. You give me a 'rari I'd still most likely change the exhaust and do the meanwhile mods.

Yes. +1 Its a granny car too hardly a looker Its like comparing Jodie Marsh to Katy Perry.

Yes maybe that's why the Bonney got a lil bulge too.

How young? Are you joking the coupe looked dated the day it came out. It's an old woman car too my first car a 1.4 arosa did 0-60 in 8.9

You make out like Nissan spent lots of money. H The 350 was a cost cutting exercise hence it was so cheap. Some people say the front to cylinders where starves because of the strut brace, Bonnet or pedestrian safety. There is deffo a difference with the plenum spacer. It's only in the mid range though.

Im thinking about plasti coating my wheels now!

I actually meant the black sticky tar like stuff but I was thnking of doing the inner panels with waxoil when I've finished the refurb Thats stuff is ment to be pretty rubbish. All the cool guys use POR15 or BH Dynax UB or dynax s50.

If I'm honest I'm so out of touch with modern paints I had to take advice from the supplier The primer used is UPF (poly) primer I didnt sand back to bare metal and the rust patches were treated with Jenolite before before priming. I do have some etch primer for the bare metal parts. Top coat will be in poly and its basically commercial vehicle paint. The supplier recons it will be hard wearing and handle the heat well. Some of it will get a coat of under seal as well. Whilst you are there you might aswell have done it. Mine is slightly rusty but nothing some vactan/jenolite wouldnt fix. Dynax s50 is a cavity wax. When you say underseal do you mean waxoil?

did you just say "pimp UP"?

Are you going to apply something like dynax s50 or was that a zinc rich primer?

Ive seen some alloys being plasti dipped?

Shame we don't have that cylinder shut off like the mercs

Try some tent protector stuff that you brush on? Can't remember it's name but my brother uses it his car and it's much better than the proper sealant I got him

I'm surprised your car can out accelerate anything considering that a 2l Clio wipes the floor with the 2.7 v6 coupe

That's like anything though surely. You get a forged engine turbo it and run 600bhp in 6 months you will want more. As you will get used to the power. IMO if nothing else your fuel is better and your AFR will be right so less to go wrong.

wow your bumper is made from lego

you can get a e60 m5 v10 for 15ishk

how much was a ballast if you dont mind me asking?

Sorry to OP for hijacking I cleaned my filter, cleaned the maf, cleaned the throttle body and changed the spark plugs. Changing the spark plugs is a pain in the backside if you have worked on I4 cars before. Idle is now smooth and the car seems a little more responsive and keener, could be down to the ecu reset and idle control reset thing though.

A bit of ferosol and it should come off. Sounds like a micky mouse place no offence. Ive got a impact wrench that is about 700nm and a big breaker bar that could easily do that, a bit of heat would probably do it. Worst comes to worst they could grind the bolt off no?

I dont have it done, but most who are disapointed must be either chasing numbers or expecting a big increase like 50bhp which isnt likely. Your mods dont do much until you have your car mapped for them. You also get some better mpgs. This is IMO of course.

Get to CS he will sort it for you

I only need them for the mot hence not needing HFCs. I'm I'm Dundee Scotland.

Hi guys, I need to buy or borrow some cats. I have a jdm 350z the DE engine. Not HFC's as I need these for my mot. I've already pm'ed Zman. Cheers

For the price of doing the job if you was to pay it would be cheaper just getting 6 new plugs IMO. I'm hoping to change mine tomorrow.
