  1. Wait, what? Are you saying you have a 309bhp car, but that the engine only has one air filter? If so, then I don't think you have a 309bhp car... In that case,I had better ask for a Road Tax refund and get the V5 altered I can't work out if you're taking the pi** or not?! lol ALL 313 engines have two air intakes, two MAF Sensors and the oil dipstick located at the front centre of the block. Got a photo? It's not unheard of for V5s to be incorrect. Yes, thanks, I was aware of this possibility At the moment I'm still leaning towards the 313. No **** take.The car was supplied by Glynn Hopkinson of Romford to its first owner, she was a Nissan employee, in 2007.I did question the 313 before buying the car, it was confirmed as a 313bhp model, the reason I bought it.

  3. Mine is one of the first 313 engined cars-only one filtre.
  4. So,mine is the 07 313 model,type and price please.LoL
  5. Had mine for two and a half years,probably done around twenty trips back and forth to my work in Germany-guess what? NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. If you can find one,get it!
  6. Any "chatter" with this combination?
  7. My 313 exhaust is perfect in standard form,far better sounding than the stereotyped M3 for instance. Gearbox it fine too,perhaps yours was not quite right?
  8. Not me,my cars Black,but it will be there on the 11th&12th Sept. LoL
  9. Only disagree with the Ring closure part,what purpose would it serve if closed? It would wreck the area for about 40 kilometer radius affecting thousands of business's. As for the Manufacturers Pool,would they just walk away? Agree with the race cars though,wouldn't be so bad if the drivers had just a little bit more patience !
  10. Shame Uwe was using Soooooo much kerb,even going four off on quite a few occasions!
  11. Sorry but I have to disagree with that statement. Going back any day now,what Z will you be in?
  12. Thanks Pete,guessed Nissan might have updated just a bit!LoL
  13. Just done mine! Best to ease the panel off from the back first,nearest the door panel card. Everything is plastic clipped so use a little caution,slim flat blade scrapper or similar with card no the levering surface. Are you going to strip of the Soft Touch? It could react to some after market sprays,ended up stripping mine just to get back to the base material.Its the same colour as the Door Card trim.
  14. Hi,not sure if its possible BUT,had an RT in a Nissmo Duke a few weeks ago and one thing I really liked was the Sat Nav function of Speed Camera detection,[just as well as I was in a different area!] Is it possible to just insert the latter version of disc to get this function in my Factory Sat Nav please,has anyone done it?
  15. With the greatest of respect,perhaps spending some time with an instructor would be cheaper?
  16. Actually,no its not the cheapest,I got the same figure quoted yesterday. Only thing is,as the car is very often abroad,couldn't take advantage of it as was told there is no European cover available! Got another quote from a recommended ,on here, broker,they wanted twice the £313 ,£per bhp! lol,I had been quoted by AXA. I need to keep shopping around I think.
  17. The EVO Mag did a back to back between a Z [mine] and an M3,the Z was a lot more planted at the limit. Could just be that your shockers need replacing,set of decent tyres as well?
  18. Had them for around a year,guess what,I would not bother using anything else! They are excellent and certainly not made of the material I was told they were.
  19. Germany has 102 in just about every fuel station!
  20. I fitted Kinetix grooved/dimpled discs with Brembo pads,excellent brakes for the money.Been on for a year now and still look like new.[car is used daily]
  21. So a lightweight F/wheel IS a good start after all.
  22. Done all of the fluid thing,not much difference+ I want it to pick up quicker than it does,also I am used to cars with racing/fast road clutches so shouldn't be too much of a problem. Cheers.
  23. Clutch slipping? Err,no,just the pedal dropping when the thing is hot. RBF/Braided hose has slightly improved it,but I want a more responsive engine as well,which is something I know will improve with a fly wheel thats half the weight. Cheers
  24. The under bonnet heat build up certainly doesn't help. A thicker/heavier mass will retain heat far longer than a thinner mass. Engine will spin up faster because of the weight reduction in reciprocating mass,these dynamics have been learnt over a period of years working with race engines/dynos. But I appreciate your points,thank you.
  25. Just what I did,one lady owner,she was Nissan UK Finance Dept.
