I've just replaced my OE (came with the car) for Goodridge ones.

For anyone wanting the Goodridge lines post 2006, you can buy them, don't worry about the picture on the box and the model years as the hoses are 100% correct.

Anyone from Goodridge (I can't remember who I spoke to as I bought them tale end of last year) reading this, you can update your website to change it from 2003-2006 and include the facelift brembo models too (06 to 08 possibly?!?) as it's a straight swap. And also, thanks for agreeing to refund me if they were the wrong part, your gamble paid off.

All ordered. This came up at the perfect time. Decided to buy some in the morning, logged on to the forum, did a quick search, found this thread, put my name down, received a PM, ordered them and am now waiting for them to turn up.

Can't ask for better.

Big thanks to Easty. Cheers mate!

What is the benefit of having braided clutch lines?

 

Basically speaking - better performance/firmer braking! One of the "must" upgrades for the brakes.

I'm currently running HEL lines, but heard about few that failed - so upgrading to Goodridge to be safe lol

Cheers Vlad. I get the better braking. The lines don't deform as they are reinforced, so more force is applied to the brakes as it's not being lost deforming the pipe but what I don't get is the benefit to the clutch.

You don't need extra force for better clutching performance, clutch pedal goes down, clutch plate released. Release clutch pedal, clutch plate applied. I don't understand the benefit even after searching for it.

Count me in

4 bays in reading have been looking after my z for years.

Single mass fly wheels always "rattle" at low revs I'm afraid.

Why go for single mass then?

Sounds very wrong to change it for something that will rattle. I'd hate a rattle at low revs.

Haha, yeah. I was so late the last time there was a meet at cheddar, everyone cept Simon had gone home. Simon was just leaving too...

Great meet everyone. It was a blast. Will keep an eye out for the next one. Moving it a few miles south will be great.

You can have mine for £7k, 06 in silver.

Its dead easy to do

Here's mine in the best parking space ever!?!

You're not too far from the chap i use in reading

He's very good and has been looking after my Z for years.

Works a treat, i got 39.99% just by reading this post.

There were no polishers in lidl last week and I really wanted to sort my headlights out. Tried a hand polish with a ton of elbow grease and they came up nice(ish) with just a little bit of a cloudy appearance to them.

I borrowed my mates electric polisher and check out these results

Any word yet? They've got ANPR all over the place now, all petrol stations, should they not have found it by now?

I've had no word back from anyone yet myself. Hope it turns up soon.

Absolutely, I'm working not too far from there for the next few days and will be keeping them peeled.

Sorry to hear about this and hope you get it back in one piece. I'd be major-league pi**ed if someone stole mine and so will be sending the pictures onto all of my mates up and down the country right now.

Some say, Its for the traffic updates you get on the satnav

i think, the gps antenna is in the rear strut brace.

I'm all prepped for japfest with my clear front reflectors mod and the all important stubby mod. No other mods required. End.

Ok, now i'm interested, I've been looking at reviews on the detailing forum and they hate it. Other peoples comments have been along the lines of

'started the car and gave up as its hard work'

and

'What a POS am not happy'

Or 'wish id saved up a bit more and got a decent DA or rotary'

Will be making a trip over tomorrow then to see if my local has any left. I would like to take then dullness out of my headlight and doing it by hand is not working.

Gotta spend your money somewhere!

Hissing is normal, i always fill the tank from near empty and I've never known it not to hiss.

And its not a hiss, it shows your car is alive, its actually a big sigh from the car as she is saying 'finally going to get my thirst quenched'

My mechanic is a small independent chap based in reading, i would recommend him massivley. He's got years of experience and has worked on allot of quality machines over the years. He's worked on my car for the last couple of years and gets the correct parts or is happy for me to source my own. He is the person who replaced my clutch 20odd thousand miles ago and its stood the test of time and mileage!

Theres only one problem, took my car in for a service a couple weeks ago. He's got a guy working for him at the moment who is ex-nissan. I asked him very politely to 'step away from the car!'

Jokes aside, you couldn't get a better job done IMO.

I do around 2000 to 2500 per month in mine, i have it serviced 2 to 3 times per year.

Various members said i should buy a shed for the daily but that would have meant not using the car. The number of miles in the last year is dropping as i work from home mostly nowadays but as dajw says, they are meant to be driven!

Car dealers, blah. 🚀
