Hi All,

I'm replacing some parts on my z and am after the following:

M10 x 40mm hex head flange bolts with 1.25 pitch and 14mm head size. Also after flange nuts to go with them.

Does anyone know someone/where that sells jap sized bolts?

Many thanks,

Andy

get a Zed,

 

you wont be disappointed.

 

I actually have to disagree lol I would go for a cayman s...... I am currently looking at them and getting rid of the 370z

+1 I have driven both back to back and the Cayman S is a far superior car both statically and dynamically

Anyone resolved this issue yet?

I have the same problem with mine. It only powers up the display once started and have no throttle control.

Cheers,

Andy

There's a window reset procedure matey. It'll be in the guides section

Thanks mate, i'll give that a try

Hi there,

Bit of an odd problem. At high speeds my passenger window drops slightly as if the door is opened which is really annoying/distracting and noisy. If i hold the window switch up it goes back up untill I let go.

Is there a known fix for this problem apart from driving slower?

Thanks,

Andy

Sold to me

It's the spring that holds the weight of the car mate. What it effectively does is put the whole weight of the car on the top mount which is clearly not designed for it otherwise Nissan would have done it instead of then separate spring set up.

 

It's not the force compressing its the fact the weight is being supported at the top mount now along with the pressure of the dampening. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but what you have stated above is silly

That is correct, however the force of supporting the weight of the car and compressing the spring in relatively small compared to the forces created from fast loading onto the damper.

Think of it this way, if you removed your damper and hit a large bump at speed the wheel would immediately hit the inner arch. Now add the damper back in and all that force is transmitted thru the damper into the top mount.

edit: the above is a very simplistic view and by no means the whole truth but gives you an idea of how much more load is input thru the top mount compared spring + compression

hmmmmm.....

 

Is the vortech charger kit in your link for £3800 is the 'tuner kit'? Do you sell the 'fully calibrated' kit that you can just bolt on and run ~410hp with?

 

If so how is the extra fuel supplied and is this reliable/safe? cost? I am aware there would be extra gains having it mapped to your specific engine however I am lazy and just want to bolt it all on and drive

 

Cheers,

 

Andy

Why would you go to all that trouble and then not make it work to its full potential??

 

Typical schooboy error I'm afraid.

Thanks for the constructive comment

hmmmmm.....

Hi bud

 

I can sell you any Vortech system... but they are designed for US cars in mind not UK.

You would still need to get the complete systems remapped I believe.

 

The Vortech advertised is for the Non rev up basic supercharger, you still need to add bits like the FRS/Fuel pump/Injectors and Oil pan and fit it and Re map. Have a look here as I supplied Darrens...

Thanks for that, i'll have a read

cheers guys, il have a read of the link above.

 

Personally, i think a company the size of D2 would never globally sell anything for a car that doesnt come with any warning or advice on possisble damage their product will cause if fitted without XYZ...

 

If any damage did come from fitting their suspension, they would be the first people i would call to pay my repair bill and can only assume they couldnt object as per the above? (which leads me to believe the true coilovers will be fine as they are)

 

On another note, does anyone have any reccomendations for a good coilover set up company? i want the height/tracking/dampning etc. adjusted propperly by someone that has all the gear. im in the epsom, surrey area but can travel if its not too far...

All this talk of re-inforcement needed is all rubbish in my opinion. The force exerted by a damper under sharp bump conditions is massive compared to the relatively small force added by compressing a 10kg/mm (guess) spring. I wouldn't be worried......

Poor guy will be scared to drive his car now!!!

As for ride height and damping set up, unless your doing any serious track work I would just set the height for cosmetic looks whilst still being practical on english roads. Damping will generally be set up by subjective feel, so have a stab yourself or get a good/professional driver to give you an opinion.

IIRC you can only adjust D2's for compression damping in which case there will only be a relatively small window of adjustment. Just have a play, if you can't feel the difference then go look into other options.

Andy

Your first spotted reply!

It was me, can't remember seeing a bike, I live just around the corner from there.

May be able to make this, I will check with the boss ( a.k.a girlfriend) to see if she's filled my diary for this weekend already.

Cheers,

Andy

grab a before and after vid. I thought that yesterday. may see if i can grab some cheap silenced ones down the line if it helps the problem.

I have removed the unsilenced now for the standard cats (the sound annoyed me that much!). I can get a video up of the silenced vs standard cats if you like? Ordered them yesterday, I will get them on this weekend if they arrive.

Cheers,

Andy

Are they silenced/resonated decats?

I had the non-silenced (on a standard exhaust) and sounded awful and raspy. Ordered up a set of silenced from Horsham Developments which should hopefully cure this.

Cheers,

Andy

Thetford, is that where Lotus have a test track/factory?

 

Welcome btw, nice looking zed you have picked up

 

No mate the other 2 are in the same village. Wymondham is where the lotus factory is :-). I only went and kerbed my real n/s wheel today :-(

It's actually in Hethel But yes just down the road from Wymondham

I live in Wymondham also (fairly new owner) and would also be up for a meet.

 

Cheers,

 

Andy

 

Was do you have private plate starting V6?, grey? I put you in spotted or flyered last week.

 

Nope, I have an Azure Blue on normal reg (54 plate GT with rays). What have you got? I'll keep an eye out

 

Black GT, 05 plate, standard wheels (but in black). I tend to cycle to work as my office is just behind the train station, pop in for a cuppa if you're passing! PM if you are and I'll give you directions

Cheers for the offer, I will drop you a PM if I am about that way.

I live in Wymondham also (fairly new owner) and would also be up for a meet.

Hi there,

I'm a fairly new 350z (de) owner I have tried searching for my answer but can't find specifically what im looking for (probably my lack of search talent )

Is the throttle opening restricted in the low gears and throttle controller eliminate this? Or is it literally just a 'placebo' performance enhancer that allows you to alter the OE throttle map? i.e. 20% pedal = 10% eco, 50% sport

Thanks

Andy

If it does not compliment the look of a car and is not a type approval regulation then there's no point in Nissan taking a BoM hit on there sales...

After one of these, can PayPal. Let me know what you got :-)

Cheers,

Andy
