Always surprised to hear v8's being lighter than other engines, gm quote 403lbs, any idea on vq weight? im guess thats will ancillaries attached as crate motors are about 340-350lbs Maybe it wasnt the Vq that was heavier as thats around 330lbs in the same state looking on tinterwebs

Good advise, i found my n2'r's were cheaper with one while rsr's were cheaper with the other, also worth checking camskill. Yea I use camskill for supper budget gloryhole tyres

Ls engine is lighter than the vq I know wasso is building a ls3 road car but bizz has his ls3 bdc 350

just be aware might fail mot as 99% of aftermarket headlights even if sold by a UK supplier are for LHD

Check out tyreleader before buying from Oponeo me an Grundy both found it to be chaper

yes 255/35/19 is closer the factory 225/45/18

i believe its legal due to it being standard in its country of origin or it was made before the Law was changed

i have a JDM with HIDS but no washers

yea its like comparing a jetski and a speed boat

Now THATS my kinda engine bay stealthy but stylish

The face of a supercar driver as you pulled away on the back wheel from 50, 60, 70+ is a sight to behold not always

it depends on the width of the tyre

i should think cheap aswell

thing is the peak Horse power number is irrelevant, If it makes 300hp for 1 second then the rest its around 240hp afterwards it will be slower than a engine that makes 280hp for 1 second and then runs around 260hp afterwards

the price difference comes down to quality, look at the carbon weave of the EPracing ones compared with Tarmacs, its all over the show Also Tarmac is selling 370z covers them epr are 350z covers Tarmac EPR If your after 350z covers please look here http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/GB/350z_Tarmac_Sportz_CF_Mirror_Covers/350TSCFMC_.aspx They are £85 delivered EPr are £80+ delivery and are not in stock

still yet to out do the evo the other year.

Kaaz 2 way,

a thread where Me Ekona and docrwa all agreed on the same thing, Blimey

i know its a 370z but where do you live £1200 for a 24 year old

Id add that Ive found Cerberas to be mobile chicanes on trackdays, power to weight isnt everything And IMO 0-60 isnt a realistic figure for comparison, its a lot more about grip and getting the launch right than anything else. A 1/4 mile is a much better indicator of how fast a car accelerates, and in this case the Cerbera is a 12.4 vs 13.8 for a DE Zed, thats a big gap. kinda of going with what you said, every Zed i have personally watched at pod has ran in the 14s even 14.8 14.9 for some,im aware some guys like Craig have hit 13.7

fans cutting in?

my de was 264 at abbey not sure if HP at the FLY or the hubs tho

just done the figure of 8 thing for my diff cant say iv had any lights come on tho

Interesting..Why? - I fancy both the Z & R, for different reasons, however performance being the common element - Just what exactly would pull you out the R and into the Z? - Other than looks & sound..talking purely as a performance car for the road - what other choices are there with better power / weigh / £ than the Z as practical everyday car? Why smiles per miles for the Zed? Wel, some comparing apples and oranges... (power figures are the only thing these two have in common) The R on paper is freaking awesome, it's fast as **** off the line, rolls round to the end of the clock very quickly and it has insane amounts of grip whilst still getting ~37mpg. And it is an awesome piece of kit. Just I find it a bit staid. The abundance of grip and power means driving fast on a B road isn't an art, just a case of point and squirt. I know i can throw it into a corner at stupid speed and it will grip and pull through with utterly no drama. For most that would be fantastic, and it was for me, for a few months. But the Zed is something else, it's a bit more involved and the feedback from pushing on along nice roads feels nicer plus the knowledge that if i get it wrong, there's no supercomputers and trick haldex setup to save me, a bad driver in an R is going to be able to go quick, a bad driver in a Z is going through a hedge So yeah, if i want to go flat out fast i'd jump in the Golf, but if i want enjoyment and feedback, it's the Z all the way. so its like a GTR then makes bad drivers fast
