Here we are mate !! SCC-0210

As a daily, I'd not have considered a 370Z (petrol prices). For me it's purley a weekend, event toy.

I use mine as a non daily and to be honest, I'm pretty impressed with the MPG 26.5 thus far. I've just come back from Germany too, where I kept my foot in a lot, but that was balanced out on the long motorway cruises. In other aspects, insurance for me £399, which is cheap, but TAX for the year is £475, so that balances out also. In my eyes if you can get a years road TAX and insurance for under a £1000 it's a good package.

Yes, very true. The unfortunate fact is though that if someone really wants to track anything down on you, they can.

Anyone got these ?? Anyone know who can get me a pair ?? I had a Gruppe 'M intake on my Civic Type R (EP3) and the build quailty was outstanding, as well as teh noise and the performance gains too boot. Most tuners agree that it is the best intake to work with for the K20. I want some for the 370Z. Not really fussed about power gains, I just like the product and the noise it gives. I've read that these are about $800 in the States, but if the quality and product is anything like the EP3 counterpart than I WANT. If anyone has any info on these I'd be much obliged.

Yes, I noticed this too. Good to know others think the same. I often get a strong feeling of the transmition through the pedal too, somethig I'm not used to.

No, that's fair enough man, it's just you tend to see more of these modded to hell and back now than you do fine examples. I did read it your bit about the V8, that's why I said 'just my 2p'. Either way, it will be great fun to follow what you do with it, great car. Love old Japanese sport car interiors !! What other areas need to looked at if you drop the TT in ?? Are the brakes all the same ??

Also - It has a Mugen rad cap .

:teeth: :teeth: :teeth:

Excellent, thank you. Seems a shame to get a carbon one to get it painted though .

Cheers man . Yeah, I took a look on your website earlier but couldn't see anything , it would be great to know what you offer them for ? PM me if you'd rather.

Sick. My fav of all my Top Trump card cars when I was a child. If it were my project (just my 2p) I'd get it as OEM and clean as I could . Good times man, enjoy.

I want to add a bit more aggression to the rear end of my 370. The OEM spoiler/wing, is good, but too subtle, I want something more aggressive and larger, not a BGW, and it has to be colour coded to 'try' and stay as non aftermarket as it can, if you know what I mean (less obvious to the general person that its aftermarket). I've had Seibon stuff before and was happy with them, but they only do the carbon stuff at the mo and I want colour coded really. Seibon (NISMO copy IIRC) That's my current favourite I think, by a good distance. What are other people's choices or fav's ?? Also, perhaps there's someone on here that can tell me what the Nissan price is for a NISMO, supply and fitted cost is ??

Well, got back on Tuesday after a road trip to Belgium and Germany for a track day at Spa and few laps of the Ring as we were so close. It was the first chance I've had to spend a long time with the car and I was looking forward to getting more familiar with it's extra weight, power delivery and characteristics. The car didn't miss beat the whole time, performed admirably and gave me and my co-driver a comfortable and cool (it was 30+ degrees) trip. Now, due to the sooner than planned purchase of the car, I didn't book any track time at Spa and was hoping to get some track time on the day, or a half day or whatever. We went over with, 370Z, Integra Type R (DC5), BMW 135i, Honda S2000, Civic Type R (EP3), Boxster Spyder, TGM Race Car and a Z4M. Oh and a van and trailer for the race car. Unfortunately the day was full and nothing was available , not so bad as I've down two track days at Spa before, but the weather was perfect and I had a ready to go 370Z just sitting there. So I just knocked about did a few PAX laps with my mates that were there and generally chilled out, although I was pretty gutted to be honest. We shared our garage with a Race Spec F40 !!! Oh and Tom from TGM brought his TGM DC5 race car over and blew it up, lol, Tom was driving it at the time and it threw a con rod, that ultimately, blew oil onto the exhaust, which caught fire, lol, - Red Flag, Marshall's the lot, lol. Failure also presented me at the Ring, we drove down, which if you know the area and surrounding roads is excellent anyway, had a walk down to Flugplatz watched for a bit, grabbed some schnitzel and went to do a few laps, just as we were about to get on there was a closure for a little prang somewhere, it was shut for an hour. When it opened again, they were lettimg cars on as quick as they could get the barriers up and down , which just cause mass traffic and often another accident. With that, a poor biker got tagged and died . So half an hour after it was opened again, it was closed for the rest of the Sunday - so we went back to Belgium. Then on the Monday there was that big GT2 smash on there at Flugplatz that caused all that furore over on Bridge2Gantry last week. With, to be honest, I do agree with. It's all good, though, we're going back in September hopefully, if I can bribe the Mrs, lol, so she'll get her Ring baptism then. My laps will keep on my Ring card until then, I think it's December they fall off, which again is something ridiculous. The Nurburgring over the last 5 years has gone all wrong, they wasted all that money on stuff it never needed and now they've alienated the people that love it most and ultimately gave it its success. Anyway, back to the car. I did have concerns over the performance of the cars OEM brake system, with fade coming in a little too quick on a few occasions, I was going to give it a good thrashing at Spa but, with some fast road driving all seemed well. The engine seems to be best settled and more resourceful when short shifting at times, with the added grunt giving you all the lurch you need out of bends and keeping the chassis settled as opposed at 7000rpm. Inside it's still a very pleasant place to be, the AC was on the entire time and with the spirited driving in places and the motorway cruising over the 800 miles we covered it pulled down 26.5MPG. Seats are very comfy, I do suffer from a bad lower back and it hinted it at times, but a lot less than my other cars. I only found the lower seats adjusted on the way back . Once the exhaust was red hot it give give a bit more sound, but it's stil madness how quiet the damn thing is . Few pics for ya.

In my opinion, no. I mean if it were my car I'd have no problem with you posting pics of it with the complete Reg. It's not going to give anyone any advantage knowing the Reg of my car. 'EDIT' Just saw the for sale bit, well that would be one of the first questions someone would ask you anyway, so no, leave it there, it makes it easier for potential buyers, insurance, history, etc..

Mines not got them.

Snakes, dudes, udders and blonde. Mai Dayyyzzzzzz.

Oh, I know it's a Nissan option ad on, but I just think it looks a bit 'eBay'. Not only on the 370Z, but any car TBH. Regardless of price or quality I just think the whole idea of little light up Z'ds on the sills is cheesy. Not knocking anyone that has them, just not for me is all.

Am I the only one that thinks these look a bit tacky ??

Not enough of a performance upgrade for me. Just give me the wing. Oh and the brakes.

Cheers man . Yeah, HFC's could be the way to go, but I expect I'll get it all done in one swoop, Up-Rev - Exhaust system, etc.... Better brakes. This is what it needs IMO. Not the fact that brakes don't work, they just get hot vey quick I feel. Might be to do with the fact that she's a busty girl, coming in at 200kg's more than the S2000, or the fact that it builds speed at a monumental level without any fuss at all. Or, could be the fact that I'm used to systems that can take more heat before they start to fade. Either way after a little bit of fast road driving, you can really feel the heat in the brakes, having to press harder for less bite. This would pull me in quicker on track than the oil temp would I think. I'll probably go down the tried and tested route of DS2500's, fluid and lines first, see what that brings. The GTR lines are a popular upgrade aren't they ?? Hopefully, as it did in the S2000 this will open the window of usage temps up much more so that when pressing on you get more use at hotter temps. I felt the stability control for the first time yesterday, on purpose I may add. I paid a visit to a friends farm and tried to get the BBW to move a bit, coming in hot, turning in off the power, then just booting it, results in, much as you'd expect a quick shove in the back, few lights flashing, a dip in power applied and then you get shuffled around the cones/corner. Feels really weird, still quick, but without having to wrestle and fight it to get around. If you're mental you'll turn the traction control off and really let loose, however, doing that on the Nurburgring will require bigger balls than I have at the moment, so I'm quite happy to let the tech do the catching at the moment when I go in like a hero and get it wrong, something the S2000 didn't have, lol. I got 27.6 MPG driving down to Wales, that's about 220 miles, I also drove through town, down Embankment etc, so it had a proper variation on driving, I'm very pleased with that.

Ah, cheers pal, much appreciated .

Quick question people, why does the accelerator pedal click and depress further when flooring it ? Almost like a drop down click on an automatic gearbox. My car is manual BTW.
