mouthwash

Terrible deal.

A friend of mine has one of these

 

Granted its fecking quick (as a passenger, wont let me drive it) and ticks all the right boxes for him

 

However, a quick pole in the pub and out of 8 of us, 6 preferred my zed

 

Say no more

I just done a quick poll out of 8 people, 7 preferred the TT.

 

Say no more.

 

If someone offered me a TTRS or a 350z, I'd be snatching the Audi key out of their pocket before they had a chance to change their, clearly mentally challenged, mind.

 

You drink in the wrong pubs

 

Rob

Yeah, you'll have to let me know which pubs you go to so I can join in with your random surveys on a night out. Sounds well exciting.

Isn't it a pita to put a rev up engine in a de?

Maybe you were lucky, you really think spending £100 getting a health check done on the engine would not make sense before spending £4k ?DS2500 pads are a good upgrade but i felt the stock brembos were very much wanting and pads lines and fluid would be the minimum i would consider if it were my safety

 

No, did you do one before you spent £xxxx on buying a car? Surely that's more of a concern than when you start modifying it?

 

 

Yes I have done them on prospective purchases on modified engines, but no not on my 370z as it was under warranty, I have done one since though, it seems very sensible to me to spend £100 just checking the health on an engine you are 1) going put under a lot more stress and 2) About to commit a sizeable chunk or money on rather than just waiting to find out the hard way , guess thats experience speaking

 

I found the stock brembos on the 350z wanting as I did on the much lighter Evo , I find the stock 370z brakes wanting as well, ok for one or two fast stops but performance drops off quickly

 

Its not just the one off stop from 70mph its that a car with more power builds more speed more quickly and if you start to exploit that performance on the road you will put the brakes under a lot more stress of course if you dont use the performance you dont need the brakes improved

That literally makes no sense unless you live your life a quarter of a mile at a time in which case, yeah, brakes.

I only did pads I had stock fluid, stock lines, stock discs etc... My car stopped okay and never felt unsafe. Sure, I will admit I wanted to upgrade them as I wanted more stopping power on the 'ring but that was so I could drive faster/harder on a track that's hundreds of miles away. Not so I could stop faster coming off a slip road on the M25.

Thing is, with FI is that you're not going that much faster on roads anyway. Stopping from 80/90/100/1000mph is the same no matter what you've done with your engine.

I don't recall many 350z FI builds getting any sort of tests done before they started modding, sure a few might of but then a few people on the planet also attend Nazi sex parties. What'cha gonna do.

If you add more go you should always add more whoa - Uprated brakes are a must imo

 

I think on any FI build the engine should get a compression and leakdown check before any work is started and money spent

Neither of those are necessary in my opinion, I had a s/c Zed (now belongs to another member on here) that had stock brakes on it with stock discs and ds2500 pads. More than enough stopping power on the road and only faded towards the back end of the 'ring (probably more to do with my driving style (or lack of (nested brackets, baby))).

Also, no testing of any form on my engine. I did 8-10k on it no problem what so ever, I drove it pretty hard all the time as I mainly took it out for leisure and as far as I know it still doesn't use oil to this day as I talk to the new owner a bit. No blue smoke, no odd rattles, plenty of power, perfect!

You should be able to get, if you've owned the car for a while, a good feel for your car and its maintenance. If you've just bought a car to go FI then I agree some testing may need to be done for peace of mind.

Why's the exhaust hanging off?

 

Rear parking sensor wires. Just of come loose again. I had tied them to the bumper.

Don't you think the exhaust is hanging a bit low though? Looks like it needs to be a inch or so higher.

Why's the exhaust hanging off?

Please, no one buy this off him. I don't want to be poor again

So a 420hp car is apparently gay, as is Maserati for putting diesels in their cars. I suppose this video just supports that too ..........

 

 

Maybe it could be that BBK is so wide of the mark its unreal?

Doesn't count, it's got 4WD.

So in reality that's just a race between two pseudo sports cars.

Don't a few Maserati cars have diesel engines??

Can I have it? It is Christmas after all.

Is it electric?

He is a forum member, I've been in touch with him to let him know I'd posted this... There is no doubt the car saved him from anything more than a few bruises!

Probably wouldn't of had any bruises if he wasn't in the car, so I would attribute those bruises to owning a 350z. You heard it here first folks, 350's cause bruises.

Sinister or the first Insidious is ok.. Depends what sort of horror you want to watch.

Tbh I thought this was going to be a race between Flex in his new R33 and a Porsche Boxster.

I'm near you and I took my ITR to TGM in Fleet to have my front bumper/light/wing repaired and they done a really good job. If you've got a mate/family member that can run up there with you and take you back it's not too much hassle and worth the extra fuel imo.

It's a good choice as long as I get a spin, if not then no it's a bad choice.

they also have between 4 and 6 lanes.

 

Incorrect, unless I speed down the wrong roads.

 

Sure yours didnt have rustling bushes and arable land either side?!

 

But you get my point, comparing this to Autobahns is chalk and cheese.

The autobahn goes from J1 of the M23 all the way to central Europe, right??

they also have between 4 and 6 lanes.

Incorrect, unless I speed down the wrong roads.

So, just to be clear, Payco condemns speeding in open areas but is on-board for a bit of speeding around in built up areas?

I wonder who's more likely to take a life, the guy speeding past a school for disabled kids at 3pm or the guy speeding down a deserted A road.

Can you not just run it like that advert? No exhaust.

You do realise that multiple people share Dan's account? That's why he always types with a know-it-all attitude.
