How extreme is the chopping?

Sounds like you just need to be heavier on the throttle to get rid of that understeer

@Shep1982 the handling issue could be because your geometry is already out of whack. Just to be controversial, I've got Eibach ARBs and whiteline drop links.

Looks great, my first Zed was an 04 ginger 350z with the ginger inside, loved it I know you said to don't want to lower it but I fitted a some RS-R springs on my wife's roadster, I was really surprised how good they were and how much it sharpened the handling up for not much cash outlay. Plus it still goes over speed bumps

You thinking about? I saw this and thought about it for Lorn's Z but don't want to chop it up, plus i'd want to colour code it.

Awesome build. Are you going to forge the spare lump at some point and then really push the boost up?

You can get UV sealer fairly cheaply from ebay. Just wipe on a leave after you've cleaned them, it lasts fairly well.

Awesome, get some pictures up with those new wheels on

Can't answer your ARB/swaybar question and sorry if I'm telling you how to suck eggs but make sure you get the geometry done, if the drop is alot, you might need adjustable rear camber arms to get everything back inside tolerance. If you don't there is a strong possibility you'll start eating tyres due to uneven wear, ask James Oversteer (don't know his name on here).

If it's had new brake lines recently and it's a legit garage, they should have a lift or inspection bay, so you should be able to look underneath and see the new lines. Plus then you can have a really good look at the underside. I've seen some terrible corrosion on 350Zs, and not just easy to replace bits like the braces. As others have said, check your rights and beware it does sound dodgy.

Super only, its to stop knock, which the the fuel exploding when it shouldn't do when it's squashed. I mainly used Shell VPower which is 99, any Super will be safer than normal unleaded. If you end up in the sticks where you can't buy super, just put normal fuel in, ideally as little as possible, but don't nail the car until you've filled up with super again.

I've got a logging thing in the new ECUtek software on my phone, I'll find some where to have a go and let you know, will need to be dry though

So I got a reply back from the Carbon guys, they are happy to send my originals back but before they do if anyone wants a set of carbon copies making, please let me know or get in touch with them asap

So has it stayed sorted? Or have they backed out again?

Ok, so as it's getting cold and miserable, how about doing an evening meet on say a Tuesday night at a pub where they do good, but not expensive, food? I know Davey_83 did the Crosspoint meet on a Sunday for Sunday Lunch but there was talk of a week day evening one but we went once, no one else was there and I haven't heard anything since? Or are weekends just generally better for people? I'm quite happy to sort a location but want to get an idea if people would be up for it? Leicester/Coventry/Nottingham general midlands area maybe more in the sticks but obviously with a decent car park and no speed bumps but the key thing it being on a Tuesday or Wednesday?

This is the meet @pintopete58 If it's the same group as last time or a similar group, it will be a good meet

I think it was only posted on Facebook?

As my wife's 370Z roadster is her daily drive but she's also a petrol head, when we sorted out the body kit, skirts, spats and lip, it would obviously need dropping to reduce that arch gap. I looked at the option and went with some springs: https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/370z/suspension/springs-shocks/1382-370z-rs-r-down-sus-lowering-springs-n134d.html This way we get keep reasonable ground clearance and comfort. Having run various coilovers on various cars over the years, HSDs, BCs and with KW3s on my 370z, I wasn't expecting much. But I must say I was surprised how much it just tightened up the car and made it feel less GT and more nimble/planted. Definitely recommend these if you want a compromise and it's a daily, they really only lose out to the coilovers when your driving really hard.

Just realised this is probably in the wrong place can some one in admin move it or do I need to delete it and put it in mod section?

In line with the Cooling duct review I put up, I thought I'd continue with my mods reviews. So this morning it's the Stillen 370Z Canards. I originally bought a pair of these from Chris at Tarmac but after some consideration, I decided to get them carbon skinned. https://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/nissan/nissan-370z/370z-stillen-front-canards.html I sent them off to Carbon Fibre It http://www.carbonfibreit.co.uk Originally they agreed to skin them but what I received was a completely carbon pair by using the Stillen ones as a mold, I marked up the bumper, drilled small holes and used some tigerseal and stainless wide thread self tappers which have worked great. To be honest the increased stability at speed is far higher than I expected, it is very noticeable, especially at speeds far in excess of the speed limit, obviously on track and the Autobahn. *cough* The carbon was of very high quality and after over 8 months and a few thousand miles, they are still secure and no sign of any damage. Writing this has prompted me to chase them up as they are supposed to be sending me another pair because they kept the original Stillen ones to make a mold. I'll let you know why reply I get, but I can recommend the carbon they sent me and the increased stability after installation.

I can't find any specific information on these, so I thought I'd drop a small review up. When I first got Abbey top install the GTM SC kit, we agreed on fitting uprated pads (Hawk)/Discs(Stoptech grooved) and braided lines. This was great for day to day road use but the first NissShow at Donnington Heritage Loop passenger rides showed up a little cooling issue. I say little, because I thought I was going to have to use my extinguisher. After about 12 laps there was smoke and serious fad. So, after a bit of a read about in a few places they blamed poor air flow around the brakes, I opted for the Stillen Duct kit and the the following year no more smoke. The loop was hard on the gas, hard on the brakes a lot and no real cooling time so for bigger tracks I might not have had such as issue, but if anyone does have brake problems, I can recommend the duct kit.

It can be a nightmare sorting stuff out on second hand cars, it's really important to have loads of history so you can have as much idea as possible about everything, especially on relatively expensive cars.

So today my Z was used for a few scenes in a new rock video my brother-in-laws band are filming. As soon as I'm allowed to put up a link to footage I will do The band is New Generation SuperStars. https://www.newgenerationsuperstars.com/

Do it, servicing is important, at 50k it should have had a clutch and ideally the gallery gasket done. IMO the 370Z is more comfortable on longer trips, slightly more space in the cabin and more comfortable seats, I'm 6ft. You'll love them, we've had two 350Zs and now have two 370Zs

I just went and filled this form in. There was some discussion about a Euro run when we were at TRAX. I've done a few rallies before in the UK and Europe, with a few people for the forum, 650miles in two days to go down to Wales to a show James organised and with Nic to europe. I'm not sure I'd want to be on a big rally, the best ones have been less than 15 cars and sensible/remote enough to avoid police attention.
