I know it doesn't get visited often but most of your answers are in the FI section so its worth reading through the posts in there. Start here: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=47069 I maybe more helpful later once I've had my lunch.

Not something I want, but I've never seen a Carbon Tailgate that fits properly.

A couple of specific things to the fact that its an airfield - They tend to be a lot more abrasive, so you will get loads of grip, so don't think you can corner just as fast when you get back on normal roads. If you plan on driving home on your tyres afterwards, I would suggest putting a few more psi than normal in them to even the wear out across the tyre or you may find the inside/outside edges will be gone before you know it. If you decide to play around a bit and get the tail out, again keep an eye out on your tyre wear for the above reason. For some reason airfields seem to be particularly bad for lots of tiny little stones/grit that will pepper the front of your car, so don't be tempted to slipstream the car in front, unless your fancy a front end re-spray. If you keep your distance you'l be fine. Due to the nature of an airfield being very open with wide runways and taxiways, its very hard to get an idea of speed and braking points (especially at the end of the runway) so bare that in mind. Keep an eye on your fluids, but don't over fill them as they will get very hot (brakes and power steering) and end up spilling out all over your engine bay. If you can, change your brake fluid before you go to something like Motul RBF600. There is nothing worse than getting to the end of the runway and wanting to slow down from 150+ mph and your brake peddle feels like jelly! And most importantly, ENJOY it!!! There is no safer place to push your car to the limit, so you might as well find your limits there when all you can do is slide off onto the grass.

Really enjoyed BF2, makes a nice change from the cod games. I can see me spending alot of time on BF3. I'm also a little concerned about all the extras - planes tanks etc...I'd rather just be a soldier.

Welcome to the club.

Yeah, but I bet you still did.

I know it varies from car to car and I haven't had them on my zed, but I tried 452's on the Supra (similar weight and rwd)and in the wet I thought they were utter sh*t. Goodyear eagle f1's (both the GS3 and Asymmetric) were the best I found.

Welcome to the club. Regarding the servicing, either a good independent or do it yourself. I haven't come across the need for any special tools or equipment yet, so your father-in-law should have no trouble.

Welcome to the club.

"Dear Customer, regarding NISSAN FRONT DISCS Unfortunately due to overwhelming demand we have sold out of part number 09.8485.11 Brembo discs. We have refunded your payment in full and apologise for any inconvenienced caused. Regards Sales Team"

As all above. If you don't want to do it yourself then you will not be disappointed with a service at Abbey.

That's how I'm looking at it. I will not fit them if they not genuine.

Absolutely love it! Looks cool as ice.

Kta do a girthy one. viewtopic.php?f=38&t=23151 Or Tarmac for a Genuine Nismo. I'm tempted myself by the Kta 'Torpedo' I'm liking that. I had a metal one in my Supra and liked it, other than in winter when it was F'ing freezing!

Tell them everything, not worth the risk if the worst was to happen.

They are the same part number yes, but if you look under the sellers other items there is another listing for the coupe if it worries you.

I believe there are only 2 types/sizes of standard discs and pads on the 350z - Brembo and non-Brembo. So if yours are the Brembo ones they should fit. However if you don't want to take the risk, the traders on here will sort you out with the correct fitments or an upgraded setup.

Worth a punt at that, the worst that can happen is you get your money back if the item isn't as described but it is the correct part number so shouldn't be anything wrong with them. I'm in.

Welcome to the club. I loved my 300zx but the 350z is a much nicer place to be.

Have you tried this with the traction control turned off? Some people report that it interferes far too early and that the light doesn't show it interfering when in fact it is. After turning it off they noticed an improvement in acceleration. Obviously do this at your risk. If it doesn't make any difference then I would go with the Uprev option.......you won't regret it.

My 2.5" True Dual Invidia with mid-pipe resonators and decats measured 97db @ 5k rpm. That's with a supercharger (which makes it louder) I would say mine is a quiet exhaust though, although it does really roar when at WOT. I think the tone makes a big difference though cause it doesn't drone whatsoever.

Good effort though!

Marzman - Have you not been Uprev'd? I was under the impression that this would make little difference to a Uprev'd car as the Uprev would essentially do the same thing.
