My thoughts with the man, family and friends another gone to another better place and what a waste.

Yep +1 Have a look at the group buy post for remapping at RS that will give you some more info on this subject.

Bought my plenum spacer over a month ago from here you can't go wrong, no problems and cheaper than the others on this site.The quality is equal to the others and I ordered at lunch time then received the next morning by 11am. Spot on, I recommend him highly.

This was my first car, most of you were a twinkle in your dads guiness bottle 1957 standard ten bought in 1969 for £30, built like a tank found that out one day when I had a misfortune to kiss the rear of a Triumh Herald, the standard was hardly marked, the herald was a write off. Unfortunately the photo is off a site as I didnt keep any in those days. The box brownie wasn't up to it.

Pm you. Cheers Jeff

Someone earlier said he had an Audi that was perfectly balanced and fine tuned like a ballerina but decided to go for the Z because it was like a thug, says it all. Best way is to have a run in one.

£332 was before the vat and price increases, I think you will find £360 is a very good price they are about £370 now. If you go on scorpions website they have a list of their authorised dealers. I got mine from Notttingham "Junction 26" who is on fleabay but he is an authorised dealer. Check them out they are great, nice rumble without being "too chavvy".

Have a look at this link you should find it in here, someone kindly downloaded the PDF files of the factory manual, try RAX this covers rears dont know about fronts. Either way it will be in there they always list the torque figures. Happy hunting. http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/350Z/coupe/

A picture would help?

Another satisfied group buyer, about the squeek, I know how to stop it, I let the wife sit in the passenger seat now and wear ear plugs.

I've just looked at the dipstick today, I think it's shaped funny at the bottom to guide the dipstick into the right position (the hoop hole facing the side of the car and not the windscreen). I could be wrong though! I've got a few pics which I'll post up for people to look at With regards to the oil, I checked this morning and it's showing as full!! It was much easier reading it on a cold engine! Your right with your comments the dipstick is designed to go in only the way you say. In fact don't try and do it the opposite way its darn near imposssible to do and could cause some serious problems if left unseated because the engine bay will end up with its own special oil wash!!!

Marmite choice do what you like and suits your needs best.

Had a look on photobucket at your creased wing it should be repairable at a good body shop. A quote will cost you nothing?

Plenty of these for sale but I decided to stick with a dealer on here who manufactures them in this country,Horsham developments, link below, viewtopic.php?f=161&t=45012&hilit=horsham

Not really but you have RS tuning at Leeds?

Plenum spacer?

Trust me your bay looks quite good. A lot worse than that out there.

May'be a remap now in view?

Surprised that your not going to RS leeds,even mark from Abbey will tell you that they are equally as professional as they are. Nearly all motorway from your place and in the end cheaper for you. A remap has to be one of the best investments on the Z but only after you've had all your mods done first. Had mine done a couple of weeks ago, totally changed my cars performance.Love it.

+1

Just a point of interest the standard touch up kit has a brush that 4mm wide, far too large for the normal scratch, paints 4 you have specialised "spears" that are 0.02mm at the end for a more accurate fill without over spill.

Speak to mark at abbey then. All questions will be answered.

Dont want to jump in before Steve but I have just done a full tankful since my remap at RS Leeds, I was running rich, and I think, but not confirmed, that I have actually obtained at least an extra 50 miles on a tankful. Happy chappy. Ps probably spelt tankfull wrong, hey, ho who cares?

Where do you live?

To be honest touch up kits are what they are, the only successful way is a total respray. Try the nail test if you can feel it with your finger nail it needs professionally doing.
