  1. Nissan Motor Co Ltd will recall about 841,000 vehicles worldwide as a result of a steering wheel glitch. Japan's No.2 automaker said it would recall certain models of the Micra compact car produced in Britain and Japan between 2002 and 2006, as well as the Cube, produced in Japan around the same period. It is pulling back vehicles in Japan, Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. Sam Hardy, a spokesman for Nissan in the UK, said: "There is a very, very small risk that there are any 2002-2006 Micra models that require attention, but safety is our upmost priority which is why we are recalling all vehicles potentially affected." The bolt used in the steering wheel of these cars may not have been properly tightened and at worst the steering wheel may not function, Nissan said in a statement filed to the Japanese transport ministry. No accidents, injuries or deaths have been reported, Nissan spokeswoman Noriko Yoneyama said. Nissan will fix the glitch by either tightening the bolts or replacing the steering wheel with a new one, the statement said. The repair will take about 40 minutes, Ms Yoneyama added. She declined to say how much the recall will cost Nissan. In April, Nissan was forced to recall 1.73m vehicles due to a defect in passenger-side airbags. Last year in Spetember, the manufacturer recalled 51,000 vehicles - 7,000 in the UK - due to a steering wheel fault. The decision was made after the steering wheel of a Qashqai+2 detached at slow speed in Finland. http://news.sky.com/story/1094625/nissan-to-recall-841000-vehicles-worldwide
  2. "mite" - Mites, along with ticks, are small arthropods belonging to the subclass Acari (also known as Acarina) and the class Arachnida. The scientific discipline devoted to the study of ticks and mites is called acarology. Via Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mite might?!
  3. If you're staying NA, a smaller oil cooler is sufficient for when you're "playing" with the car, like the Stillen one I have For Sale here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/70833-gt-spec-meisterr-stillen-and-oem-goodies-for-sale
  4. Keep it coming guys, we have already 5 people in the queue.
  5. Yes, it will fit. It is already on use on other cars in the US. Are you not going for this? http://www.buyimportperformance.com/Fluidampr_Nissan_VQ35_350Z_V6_p/640901.htm
  6. Love you, too, mate! Ideally, if we can get 10 people interested, I can try my magic on prices
  7. You do realise this is a group buy and as there are not hundreds of SC zeds in the UK, probably it will be the first and the last
  8. Vlad, few reasons why I decided to get it: 1. Cosmetic - looks nicer in the engine bay instead the three pipes joined by two couplers, lots of clamps, etc: 2. Less chance of leaking boost as it happened to me when the original Vortech clamps came off on boost. Also that caused some problems with the pulley cutting into one of the couplers and clamps. 3. For v1 - more air volume for the AFM, specially for smaller pulleys setup 3.12" and 2.87" when the MAF GT sensor risks to be maxed out on tuning. More details on my build thread. 4. The AFM sensor it's a bit further away from the engine hence keep it a bit more cooler.
  9. They're nearly sold, awaiting confirmation from two people, whoever pays first gets them
  10. In the attention of the Vortech SC owners!! Darren-B, wizard, Sam Mcgoo, evilscorp, Keyser, The Chubby Ninja, OsakaBen, Vlad, anyone else I've missed? As some of you are aware Wasso tried to build this pipe for a few good months, but was let down by the manufacturer. I finally managed to get a manufacturer in the US that is able to source the pipe in two different versions for us. v1. 3" all the way with a Samco Sport coupler/reducer to 2.75" Suitable for people that haven't had the car yet tuned, more volume of air in the AFM, better control of the AFM sensor voltage when tuning. Also suitable for the guys that will soon have their cars retuned going for a smaller / bigger pulley. Lead time - 3-4 weeks v2. 3" and stepped down to 2.75" at the end where is goes into the blower This is suitable for the Vortech owners that just want the single 1 pipe and don't need a re-tune of their car I will be getting some prices depending on how many of you are interested. The more of us, the cheaper we can get it. Please state your interest bellow: 1. octet - v1 2. GT4Zed - v1 - unpolished 3. OsakaBen - v1 4. evilscorp - v1 - unpolished 5. Darren-B - v1 6. Keyser - v1 - unpolished - might need a second pipe, details to follow 7. Vlad - v1 - unpolished 8. Sam McGoo - v1 polished 9. 10.
