  1. failing to stop and give full details at the scene of an accident is an offense isnt it? - report them to the police. I personally wouldn't claim as it'll plonk a cat D on the car
  2. yeah, sorry, im the dumb one there - must learn to read beforehand.... updated my post to less idiotic comments
  3. A good soak of plusgas or wd-40 overnight will help to loosen if off - just remember - dont yank the allen key, gently squeeze/pull it or you could end up rounding things off then it'll get fun Also make sure nothing falls down there whilst the plenum is off....

    350z Remap?

    thats the thing that made me wonder though - dyno runs are usually done in 4th gear (or closest to 1:1 ratio), where it isnt limited - but surely if the first 3 gears are limited then removing that must give more power in those gears? Or am i barking up the wrong tree

    350z Remap?

    one thing thats confusing me - and from what ive read people havent yet commented on (from what ive read) I was reading abbeys website, and they say the lower gears by not allowing the throttle to be opened 100% in the 3 lower gears, 1st gear 65%, 2nd gear 70%, 3rd gear 80%. Does the remap remove this limitation? Because surely, would the 0-85mph sprint be much reduced and make the car have a lot more power in the lower gears? Or have i read it completely wrong?
  6. jammy bugger. Further south you get, the higher the cost gts (its £105 by the time you get near Brighton )
  7. stock strut brace is steel not stainless steel isnt it?
  8. yeah, didn't they have those on topgear once? I recall Clarkson doing some fancy stuff whilst having plumes of purple smoke coming off the tyres....
  9. just bought mine a week ago - best decision i ever made. Ever. Ever, ever.
  10. are you thinking something along the lines of http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-24-LED-24cm-s ... arParts_SM They can be cut every 3 LED's and are fine externally...
  11. the worst part is that these prats add insult to injury IF you actually are that desperate and get them over. The sales target they are expected to achieve is a further 30% reduction from the original quote.
  12. 0 for me at the moment, but i was lucky enough to be offered the speed awareness course. (37 in a 30) Either 3 points and £60 fine, or £105 to sit down and talk about stopping distances, then derive a crappy french diesel around for 2 hours.....with no further records of the offence Needless to say i did the course! (FYI - Static cameras allow the speedlimit +10% +2mph)
  13. Hey guys, Can anyone confirm to me - 100%.... Is there ANY difference in the upper inlet manifolds on any of the 350z's between Manual & Auto JDM & UK 2003-2009 If they are all exactly the same with no additional outlet breather pipes for different applications, that would be great! Thanks Andy
  14. Thanks for all your welcomes! I will get pictures up as soon as it stops raining but its my dream car and im still getting over the fact its mine! WHAT A CAR!! I just cant stop smiling every time i turn the key, either on or off. P.s - What a great forum, i've been really impressed by what a great bunch you lot are!
  15. hehe, yeah i did wonder if it was invented for a female owner - jeeeez its like a palm massager! But thats cool, theres always little quirks with every car - mines an 05 plate UK, but if you guys say its ok then i'm happy with that! Thanks for just quick replies.. this forum rules!
  16. I did do a search but couldn’t find anything so please excuse me if there is another thread somewhere (I’m new after all! ) I’ve just got myself a UK zed, and loving it – but there’s one thing that’s a bit odd; I know that the thrust/release bearing on the clutch is a little noisy – but all engages as it should with no bad noises, crunches or anything like that – but weirdly the gear knob vibrates like hell! It does this when in gear, neutral, clutch up or down – but more noticeable on the rundown of say 3rd gear, around 3500rpm. I just wondered if this was considered normal? Or a common symptom o something else? Cheers Andy
  17. Hey guys, Well, after having the urge to just go full out and get my dream car, I finally managed it! Just bought a Azure blue UK zed, and im absolutely in love. All I can say is WOW… why didn’t I do this earlier? Great forum by the way guys!
