Put a deposit on a Zed! now to get a bodykit and other mods!
Suits replied to gstraw's topic in 370z General
I'd stick my neck out and say that that car has already got spacers on it mate. -
My Mrs when we were at Nissan test driving a few years ago. Fizzing at the slit.

Like all forums really, unless you're one of the 'in' crowd and want to be, the places can be quite lonely.

Getting back on topic, here's a picture of me;

Good vid. Been waiting for that since the written review. As said, it's the most glorious looking super/hypercar there has been in a while, the back end and the front lights are so good looking I find it hard to comprehend that a human could come up with the design.

Cool read man, I enjoyed that. Those wheels work really well .

Good colour man. That's a fair old list of mods you have there. -
Cool man, just let me know .
-
Did you get the Gen 3 intakes ??

Fast Intentions exhaust and what looks like some springs. I think it looks great, cars don't have to be drizzled in mods to look good.

Bedford Autodrome Trackday 17/02/14 Good circuit, fast, long and would recommend. The MSV set up was very posh, well run and organised, arrived, signed on, then had a couple of coffee's and a bacon baguette in the hall, was very tasty and warm, very happy. Then for lunch I had Cottage pie, peas and chips. Much better than a boiled burger that you get a Brands or other circuits. Weather held out and only had a few light spots of rain, nothing that effected the track. The Datsun Have to say I was impressed, being the first time I'd had the car out on track since I bought it I was unsure about a few things, brakes, understeer, weight to name a few. I was keen to see what Nissan wanted to put it's name too in terms of a sports coupe from the factory, so this car was OEM (expect for the exhaust, which I'll get to in a moment) and I wanted to drive it from the road to the track and see what is what. It's all very good, seemed to do it well, there wasn't anything in particular I wanted more, it was just very well rounded a perfect combination for the road driver to take it a bit further. Grip was big, I was surprised how much there was of it, going into a tight bend hot, then coming off the power and just letting the car turn in and grip was impressive, the car just begged you to get on the power ASAP and with a little squirm and telltale slip the boundary of the cars grip was easy to feel and well advertised. The car felt heavy but not too heavy, it felt like a GT and that's fine as it touches on one in places. Flicking the car from the left to right felt good and relativly un-dramatic, thus feeling good and bringing a smile to the face. Brakes - Fine, nothing to worry about, no fade at all, I do feel that had it been an infield circuit I would have had issues but with the long straights and fast bends there wasn't too much hard braking. Understeer - Nope. I had a fair bit on the airfield day and thought it might be about again, but no, fine, again the circuit helped I feel. Oil - This sucked, I was doing about 3/4 laps until I had to come in again as I was touching 125/130, in the end I was lifting on the straights in the hope of keeping things a bit cooler. it was a 4 mile circuit mind but still I was having to come in when I wanted to stay out, which is a shame. Fuel - Wow, caned it. 6.6mpg I got from the day and three trips to the on site rule station for half tanks. ARK GRiP Exhaust - Yes, sounded good, in fact a lot of other drivers came up to me in the paddock and comment on how good it sounded, which was nice. There was some serious movement in the tail pipes once it was HOT about an inch further out of the bumper, wish I'd taken a pic now as it was a big difference, now I know why they put ARK on the pipes for when it's hot !!! Few things I'd change/alter; Oil Cooler - For sure, deffo. Tyres, these seemed fine and once nice and sticky gave me all I wanted really, I will change once these REO50's die, which is soon, not sure what too yet. ARB's (stiffer/thicker), these were something I was keen on before, that will just give the handling a little bit more in terms of sharpness, don't see any reason why not to still look into these Geo, yep, this is on the cards, probably the same time as some new tyres and the ARB's. How not to mount your GoPro. That was the first 10 seconds of about an hours footage that included a close encounter with a Hare, the progression of my lines, times and confidence with the car (this was the first time I had the 70 on a circuit and could really get my fingers into her). As you can see it didn't take long for me to realise that it was all going to be rubbish. Shame as I'd messed about with mounting points the other day and thought I had it down - obviously not. My mate has a helmet mount which I will use next time, didn't even realise it came with one to be fair. Here is a vid of my mate behind me, catching me, passing me, then overheating the oil in his 135i which resulted in it going into limp mode for an hour. You can hear my exhaust on the downshifts, from inside his car, over his Miltek, lol. My only photo from the day too. TL;DR

Shame the black gloss hides the detail of those wheels really in that photo, they could be anything . -

Ha ha, nutter. When you strip it for the R35 - let me know about the brace, lol. Are you thinking about the CE28's too ?? -
It's part of the GT pack I believe.

Gotta be time for one of these hasn't it ?? -
I still go to do this sometimes in my 370Z out of habit. My 370Z has the syncro rev gearbox.

As good a reason as any. Good work. -
Cool, I'm glad that cleared that up, been wondering what you looked like.
-
Good news man. Keep us updated on the situation.
-
No, straight up. How they run now matters not, what does matter is that the price went up 11%.
-
It looks different IRL. Sort of deeper if you like, it appears to show off the curves of the car better too than any picture has ever been able too, more so than any of the other colours anyway.

A more pedigree Nismo than we get over here then .
