As title with 225/45 18 and 245/40 18 tyres I bought these as a second set to use the wider rears as fronts (hence slightly wrong profile for rears) and I never used the fronts at all. They have been used for several track days so the rears have heavy brake dust to insides and laquer has peeled in few spots (see pics) The front are in much better condition as have only seen normal road use and non aggressive brake dust. They are straight and have not been curbed Tyres have loads of tread on Bridgestone 050 front Pirelli P zero rear £250 collected, located in Warwick Thanks for looking

Any Heating Engineers ? - Little bit of advice please
350Butcher replied to d95gas's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Leaving it all day at a 1 bar with no drop is proof enough that the system is free from leaks. Using the boiler on hot water only doesn't heat enough volume to water to raise the pressure so all is well, it will only be a problem with heating. If you can get to the pressure relief pipework I've zip tied a bag over the end of it in the past just to 100% test to see if its dumping water through it. Most boilers are an 8ltr expansion tank some 10ltr which is good for 80-100ltr of system volume, which using no science at all is usually ok upto 16ish rads Just as a note also, if sometimes does come and pump up the vessel (which is fine as some do just go flat after a few years) make sure they blow the pressure out of the system and leave an open end like a drain hose or manually open the pressure relief valve so it pumps out the water in the vessel as you pump it up and you get the correct reading otherwise its a pointless exercise and you'll be led down the road again. Good luck mate -

Hi, Sounds to me like it could well be that the expansion vessel on your boiler has lost its air charge, this means the system water has no where to expand to and causes pressure to rise (over 3bar) on heat up and slowly drip away out the pressure relief valve pipework. Easy enough to check if this is going on. Can you see where the 15mm copper pipe/ pressure relief pipework goes? (Usually straight through the wall from boiler) See if its dripping at all as that will be your "leak" All the time its hot its OK and only drops down to 0bar on cool down as its lost an amount of water while hot. Hope that helps (and makes sense), let me know how you get on Martin -

Provides plenty of adjustment for camber Rear Adjustment range: Camber +/-4.00 degree Installation time: .6 hr/side Kit includes left and right rear. £75+10postage or collection from Warwick area

Horsham Developments plenum spacer in great condition, contains everything to fit straight to your car. Bought new and fitted on my car for 2 years, only selling due to changing to HR car. H-Dev comments: Our in house developed 8mm Plenum Spacer kit is precision cut and dyno proven. It can increase power and torque on a standard or modified 350z engine. It does this by increasing the volume of the inlet plenum which, as standard, is restrictive. Kit Contents: Precision Water Cut 8mm Alloy Plenum Spacer Precision cut gasket Alloy Strut Bar Spacers Internal Nylon Plenum Spacers Complete bolt and washer set. £95, would prefer collection from Warwick area

Thanks for sharing Will, really looking forward to getting back to Cadwell
-
Cheers guys Yeah there was a few red flags in the morning which was very frustrating but on a circuit like that I think its safe to say thats gonna be the way it is. Shame you had your failure cos by the afternoon all the usual suspects who cause these red flags had all crashed, broken down or given up and there was plenty of space and you could have a whole session of clear lapping. Be great to see some vids of the car, where will you be posting them Will? Does sound good from the inside, especially with some aggressive heel n toeing!! But I've never heard it from outside before.

Although brief, was nice to meet a few of you n say hello "during one of those morning red flags!" yesterday, sorry to here about your BMW woes. Maybe its a sign that you should get the window sticker in the 370 for the next one Will?! Had a great day in my Zed yesterday. what a track Cadwell is, will definitely be returning there again as its definitely the most exciting n challenging circuit in the UK I've been on with so many blind apex's n crests all needing some full comittment to string a good lap together and get quicker n quicker through the day. Was just a shame my Bro (in the Vxr220) ended his (and everyone elses) final session with a red flag, a blown charge cooler and a £500 recovery bill back to Surrey...... Good luck for Rockingham and maybe I'll bump into you guys on events in the future Martin

True and Evo MR's come on Bilstein/Eibach combo.......Its a great setup for fast road use There's no problem though as Bilstein have the option of B6 damper for stock springs/ride height and shorter B8 for use with lowered springs. Its amazes me how many people do it the other way round and run lowered springs on std shocks! Must be an awful setup No probs, nice to know someone shares my way of thinking. I was just the same in wanting to improve the car with out taking away it being a really good, capable and comfortable road car. You can fit the Eibach ARB's anytime..........they do work very well though and would recommend them
-
Hi Ewan, I was in exactly the same thinking as you and came to same idea! I fitted the B6 dampers with standard springs to my car, which had done under 50k at the time so the originals probably weren't too tired and the difference is huge. I did fit them at the same time as Eibach anti roll bars and few bushes so my car changed quite a bit so couldn't say in handling terms how much of an improvement they will offer on their own but they will no doubt improve it but from just damping terms and ride quality alone the B6's made a notable difference, they're slightly firmer over stock but dont crash over bumps and potholes they actually soke them up better and theres none of the judder through the chassis after hitting bumps at speed either as I found with the stock items. They are really top quality too with all the clips n pick ups for the brake hoses etc too. I've done few thousand miles on these, couple of track days and a trip to the Nurburgring so I think I've given them a fairly thorough test for you..........You wont be disappointed. As mentioned above most go for coilovers but in my opinion and it is only my opinion that the cheaper £1000-£1500 coilovers are not good enough at actually being suspension they're just too hard n crashy. The B6 with std springs or if you wanna go lower the B8 with Eibach springs and to better that you need to spend some money and go to something like Ohlins DFV (which I have owned on an Evo and is absolutely fantastic and worth every penny!!) would n hopefully will be the route I'd go. Hope that helps and would be interesting to know if you agree when you've got them fitted Some pics

Motorway/High speed vibration....poss compression arm?

Motorway/High speed vibration....poss compression arm?
350Butcher replied to 350Butcher's topic in 350Z General
Thanks for your replies Siman: Geo was done about a year and only 6000k ago, I've been wanting to get it done anyway so might give it a go, to rule out if nothing else.... but vibration due to geo being very slightly out is not something I've come across myself before. You say yours feels great now, did you have vibration etc before yourself then? Attak: I'm hoping not due to cost, but the fact the vibration varies made me suspect poss ball joint as loads change across the car so does the vibration
