here's my baby

It's great fun lol I got my diff shimmed to tighten it up, so both my rear wheels can lock up, when I want to have a bit of fun. You can’t have fun with a one wheeler lol So it’s either, buy a good two way diff or the cheaper option, and get your diff shimmed. Basically to shim a diff, you remove it from its casing, break it down and then add some shims, these are really just washers, it’s always trial and error, It can end up to tight, which can make every day driving very hard, as both rear wheels turn at the same speed, so it’s better to have a wee bit of give. A few points to note. 1 : shimming a diff can decrease the life of a diff. But I’ve yet to see or find out by how much, most of my friends drive R33 skylines and S14s, the ones with out 2 way diffs, shim their diffs too and have had no problems since I’ve know them. 2 : The shims will not last, I’ve had mine shimmed twice in 8 months, the tighter the diff – the quicker the shims wear. 3 : It’s very hard to get it right, it’s a case of shimming the diff and trying it out. 4 : If you have two shims that are half the width of a larger one and you put the two thinner ones in, this will not give the same tightness as using one thick one that’s the same thickness as the two thinner ones, if you know what I mean lol Here’s a wee bit of reading. http://www.driftworks.com/forum/technic ... -diff.html

I got my diff shimmed again, so I thought I’d test it out, still not perfect, I need it tighter. Here’s the result lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HlWEdVm57g

OMG !!!!!!!! I'm lost for words, apart from - I hate you lol This is, and i mean is, one of - if not the best looking Z i have ever seen only one wee thing - please get them wheels spaced out but aprt from that, I LOVE IT :D

Ok I’m going to step in here lol I owned a modified Focus ST near 300Bhp A Friend of mine owns a New Focus RS, she has it modified and soon will be 370Bhp or more, I now own a 350Z, so I’d like to think I know what I’m talking about, You cannot compare an ST or and RS to a standard focus, Totally different cars that just happen to look similar. My ST was a bitch with torque steer and could not get the power down in the wet, but by god it was fast, My friends RS has no torque steer at all, yep I said it, not one bit, foot full to the board round a corner, no torque steer and no wheel spin, not one bit, it stuck to the road, I could not believe it, both the ST and especially the RS are fantastic cars, for what they are. But but but, the 350Z is rear wheel drive and now a days that’s what I care about, I’m not so much into power and speed any more, for me it’s all about getting the tail out, bit of drifting and some doughnuts – that’s where all the fun is, so would I ever buy another front wheel drive car? No matter how much power or good looks it had, hopefully not, I’m sticking with RWDs But if the new RS had of been 4WD well then, I might not be in a 350z now lol And just one other wee thing, my 350Z might also have trouble getting the power down in the wet but at least I can have fun putting it sideways while trying to lol

my offer still stands

you have PM

you have PM

I put my 350Z on the rolling road today, After the run, My ABS light was on and my traction control would not turn on, i started and stopped the car a few time but no luck, luckly enough - one of the fellas with us had his laptop and software to connect to my car, he just reset the error codes and all was well again lol anyone else have this happen to them? so any way, i'm happy with my result. It's a 2005 with 48000 miles and the only engine mod is an induction kit. and i put some octane booster in lol 286.3HP @ 6357Rpm 258.2Lbf @ 4725Rpm http://s691.photobucket.com/albums/vv27 ... -10-RR.jpg

8 pages and I enjoyed reading all of it, So where do I come in Well, let’s see. No mater if that guy is good at drifting or not, what he did was illegal; drifting “going sideways†on a main roundabout is NOT safe driving on the roads. I have done a few roundabouts, but at night, clear roads, no traffic, off the main roads and people keeping an eye out for any on coming traffic, if there is any other traffic – you stop, it’s that simple. I have also been known to drift on two roads that are in an industrial estate; same again, we go in groups of no more than 10 cars and people at either end, keeping an eye out for other traffic, this also happens at night, when these places are empty of other road users. Also my car is usually sideways coming out of every junction but again it’s not hard to check if the road is clear before I let the ass out. Drifting and Diffing is fun and I enjoy doing it No matter how good you are at handling you car, when your drifting it’s so easy to loose control. So I’d just like to add – keep to wide roads in industrial estates and make sure there’s no other traffic about or tracks, if you can afford it I don’t speed or race on the roads, I have my fun other ways

thank you it's on the "things to buy" list lol

i have the same problem, but i gave up trying to find it lol, now i just rev more and the noise covers up the rattle lol but seriously at the start it did my head in, now i think i'm used to it.

that is one lovely looking Z, the wheels realy suite it, and love the green lip, as said - just lower it a bit, but even as it is, it's very nice

yep it does, nope - thicker oil will not make it any better
