  1. Well it wasn't cheap, the fabricated pod was from a chap on the US forum called Galeforce. The pod including shipping etc. was probably in the region of 400 quid and i got a good deal on the gauge of 150 pounds ( you could get a cheaper gauge but think AEW are quality ) then fitting was again about 400 pounds ( although if you diy it is not relevant ) So my total was around 950 pounds all in, but you could do it cheaper.
  2. My yearly service and MOT was due last week at Abbey Motorsports so i got them to fit an AEM oil pressure gauge to the custom pod i had fabricated earlier last year. As usual great service from Charlie and the rest of the guys at Abbey. As you can see from the first photo cold oil pressure is at 90/95psi and hot pressure around 35/38psi so no timing chain cover gasket problems so far !!
  3. Yep everyone loves a pristine growler !
  4. Got mine today and great pics as always thanks to all involved.
  5. I have signed as well, as with most things proposed by government it never remains sensible.

  7. I think I think the Greddy Sump is made in Japan TBF, so probably better quality.

    Sorry to hear this terrible news, i am in Banstead just up from Sutton so i will keep an eye out for your Zed when i am out and about.
  9. Posted 21 hours ago Hi all, after my last couple of track days i noticed that under moderate to heavy braking i was getting vibration and judder through the steering wheel but the brake pedal was fine. Thinking it might be a build up of brake pad deposit on the discs i tried the heavy braking from sixty etc. with no noticeable difference to the feel on the steering wheel. Deciding the problem was probably DTV ( Disc Thickness Variation ) i did a little research and booked into my nearest disc skimmer which was Carters Car Care in Dorking Surrey. They were brilliant, taking the disc off first to clean up the mating faces then doing two machine cuts with a Pro cut portable lathe which attaches to the hub, the result is perfect braking with no vibration or judder 👍. If you live in the surrey area and are suffering from the above then i can wholly recommend Carters Car Care to do the work
  10. I would say 5+ years with no problems, i just take them off once a year wipe the coilovers then spray with some MS4 grease, job done.
  11. This is similar to what i have fitted and they do a sterling job of keeping everything clean, I think they were called shock socks.
  12. I agree CTEK the way to go, it was brilliant on mine last winter.
  13. Absolutely agree, if the car is right a new exhaust is easy to fix.
  14. A guy named Jason Gale from the US 370z site fabricates the pods but i have a feeling he may work for 3g customs, but i don't know for sure as i contacted him direct.
  15. Hi Mate, import duty came to 64.62p, so an expensive solution to mounting the oil gauge but also a very neat one. I use Abbey for my servicing so may give them a shout about the oil pressure gauge but it is always useful to hear other recommendations and experience of others first hand.
  16. Ok so the gauge pod has arrived along with a big import tax charge which i suppose is par for the course with goods from the USA/Canada. The Pod is top notch work and looks OEM, so now i need to get an Oil pressure gauge preferably electrical as i don't want oil lines inside the cabin, any suggestions or recommendations ?
  17. Fully charge the battery and try again.
  18. GJ52 *** along Banstead Road in Surrey at around 4.30 pm possibly coming out of Cuddington Golf Club, very tidy it looked and sounded OEM
  19. Hello and welcome back, nice looking soft top.
  20. Today around 4pm a red 370 LV65 *** traveling along Fir Tree Road towards the A217 it looked to be completely standard, it is the first 350/370 i have seen for weeks.
  21. I am down the road in Banstead.
