maybe i'm just too old and prefer something more subtle Have you heard the Invidia system? Not in your face or OTT. Nice and quite grumble at lower RPM, comes alive after 2.5K-3K rpm and doesn't drone one bit. Really brings out the V6 sound nicely imo. in all honesty no but i look foreward to it now

thx for that i needed a good laugh

i don't know i think the standard 350 system sounds better than a lot of aftermarket systems it was just too damn quiet thats just an opinion not me being argumentative

i always service my wife's car before the mot so we dont get any suprises last year changed all the fluids/filters even did the brake fluid pads were low and discs were borderline so changed the lot she had to take it for the mot as i had a delivery coming so i get a phone call from her she's at the test centre and they're gonna fail the car because they said the pads needed replacing and it's best to replace the discs at the same time i went down there (luckily only 5 min drive) to discuss the problem, after discussing his parentage and my opinion on what tools in the garage i would like to insert into his various orifices i asked him to remove a wheel and show me the pads which were apparently down to the backplates he didnt want to do this and a short time later the owner arrived and the car magically passed i told him it was very nice of him not to charge for the mot and he agreed that that would be best as you can guess i wont be going there this year

Not got much done lately the gym roofs been leaking the missus said if i didn't fix it she'd get fat and it would be all my fault i said what do you mean GET FAT and made the mistake of laughing not running she hits really hard for a skinny little woman managed to get the speed controller for the oil pump finished and the new one piece maf pipe cleaned up and painted might get some more done thursday

looks skimmable (not sure if thats a real word)I've put worse back together as is for the same reason skint needed the car worse case is the clutch doesn't bed in wears out quickly and slips really depends on how badly you need the car right now and are you willing to ruin the clutch and have to buy another one

not much of an update as i had to rewire the mains in the garage as the new welder needed a 16 Amp supply but did manage to get the maf/intake pipe finished just needs fixing brackets and cleaning up need to make up pipe from end of this to the intercooler and turbo to intercooler and that should be the fabrication done then i just need to sort out the plate at the back to protect the air filter, decide what i'm going to do about the pcv system and put it all together sounds easy if you say it quick

I just googled that for a laugh. From the urban dictionary; some years ago while down the pub with some mates after a few beers one of them admitted to having this problem on a regular basis he said an elastic band wrapped around the end worked as the pain woke him up i didn't ask for details this was already too much information

perfect for me missus wont get in a car with me

or you could always try this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JAPSPEED-NISSAN-350Z-Z33-2003-2009-HIGH-CAPACITY-PERFORMANCE-BAFFLED-SUMP-/181148941027?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3A350+Z&hash=item2a2d517ae3

maybe you need to teach the rest of essex how to do this because like i said i'm on a tracker so i couldn't speed if i wanted to but when i'm on the a127 right on the speed limit a good 75% of people are overtaking me and when i'm in the 30 limits right on the 30 i've usually got a big que behind me who overtake if possible usually giving me the finger

I agree any one who claims they never break the speed limit is either driving so slow that they are causing an obstruction or spending too much time staring at their speedo and not paying attention to the road i work for a very big uk company and we have just got trackers and monitors for tracking our driving style our accident rate went up because people are spending too much time staring at their speedo's

had a bit of time to play this weekend so decided to fit the intercooler and make up new pipe to go from intercooler to throttle fitted top (and bottom not shown) mounting brackets relocated power steering cooler removed tank pump and pipework for headlight washers as they will be in the way of the pipework machined plate to take maf sensor and made up most of pipe and then my welder started making a strange noise and blew up in my face literally so much for all those safety cutouts. so not only is my welder completly screwed the bit of it that hit me in the face cracked the screen of my auto darkening welding mask so while i was throwing a tantrum and smashing the rest of the welder to tiny tiny little pieces and cutting my hand open in the process

not that i'm superstitious about things coming in threes but i'm staying in today

This methinks. When I had a zorst fitted I'm sure they had to remove it. Was it a Scorpion system, as this part does indeed need to be removed to fit the Scorpion... I dont think i'd personally take it out completly if it was in the way of an exhaust system as it shields a charcol filter which filters the vapour from the tank so potentially quite volatile i've replaced mine with a smaller ally shield

pretty sure it's just to shield the evap emissions canister from the exhaust heat

that's not a squeak thats called character

haven't been down the sea front in at least 5 years maybe i'm just a grumpy old man

yea but i live in essex there bloody everywhere

god you guys are calm i can put up with almost anything but dont touch my cars, my wife wont even get in a car with me if we go anywhere we take her car she drives she say's i have anger issues i dont see it dont mess with my car and i'm the nicest person in the world

mine's improved since i cleaned the maf i get 15.4 now

hate corsa drivers wanting to race me or any vauxhall driver for that matter

damaged a gasket on the wastegate and on the backbox where they have been on and off a lot luckily i had some high temp gasket material laying around and 0ne of these (as you do) thought stuff it i'll cut my own the first one came out so well i video'd it for you click on picture below and yes even my missus calls me a geek

problem could be lots of things pressure sender,oil pressure relief valve, oil pump, bearings you could always screw a mechanical oil pressure gauge in instead of the pressure sender to check if the pressure gauge is reading ok and if it is that low i wouldnt be driving it anywhere these engines arent cheap i know i've blown one
