Well if they don't mind nearly being decapitated for saving a few quid...

I'd recommend having the new lot skimmed as well, it's what I did with Marcus (or find someone nearby that is rated): http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/97748-marcus-disc-skimmers-excellent/

horus1970: Ok, not intended to be patronising but it's the way you wrote it, looked like you didn't know so it's always worth telling new people here to take care of these cars. Listen to Brad if you want to create a smoke trail wherever you drive

Fully synthetic 5W30 (buy a 5ltr tub from somewhere like opieoils.com - and there is a recommended list on their site) - you'll need it, as these cars will drink oil. If you don't know about this stuff, which is what your post is reading like... also ensure you are filling the car with super unleaded, example Shell V-Power Nitro+ (yes, the expensive stuff). Didn't the car have a manual with it ?

I've had my car for a few years now, and for the very first time about two months ago I triggered that bloody oil light. In my case it just flashed up once as I was braking hard at a set of traffic lights, I just drove very slowly about half a mile to the nearest Shell station, turned it off for 15 mins and slung a litre in there. Then another litre when I got back home. Then another 2 litres when my opie oils box turned up So now I have a 5ltr tub in the back of the car 'just in case'

I didn't file anything down in the end, shifts fine now, so I'm guessing it's done it itself.

All you have to do is watch the games conferences on youtube, the Sony presentations were dull, I didn't see a decent racing game nor anything else that was 'exclusive' that would make me want to purchase it. I saw far more intriguing games to spend my time and money on from the MS side. Of course, which ever one you have bought, you're going to rationalise your purchase decision but just looking at what is coming out it's no contest for me.

Here is part 2: http://engineering.mishimoto.com/2015/07/pure-vq-sound-mishimotos-350z-performance-intake-rd-part-2-fabrication-completion/ and... part 3: http://engineering.mishimoto.com/2015/08/pure-vq-sound-mishimotos-350z-performance-intake-rd-part-3-dyno-testing-and-results/

I'd try a different spring personally. The guys in the States like the linear Swift R ones, which Adrian can supply (naturally ), As I find it's the small bit of progression which is possibly the lean in the Teins.

As you know, we're running the same set up, although I have the front driftwork's upper camber arms but also currently set to factory alignment settings. I'm due to go back to Wheels in Motion to have the geo adjusted for my needs which, similar to you is to have sharper turn in, a little less roll would be nice but I've not tried playing with the Eibach bars yet (it's set as Adrian has posted).

Definitely looking forward to the report, and any video if he get's some

I had a look but didn't spot it mate. LOCK time

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-33647552 (apologies for rant mode - even if it's just for myself ) Of course, it's far to easy to jump to conclusions here, I'm going to but I hope I'm totally wrong and it wasn't for what I suspect happened... 22 and 25 - sounds to me like ego. At the end of the day, if you think you're good at driving - you aren't, you're shi7 - even if that's a lot of experience on 'track days' since you were a kid, it's not the same as driving on a road, let alone alpine passes with severe drops. Anything can happen from rocks falling, retarded cyclists, tourists and other drivers making mistakes, and of course even failures on your own car. Really just a bit of a wake up call for anyone that's willing to listen. And like I said, even just a reminder to myself, sometimes pushing on a bit too much.

If they start looking a bit rough over a while, I'll use the recommended thinner and just sand/smooth down some of the bumps/damage/rash and build up the plastidip again. Funnily enough the first image makes the original colour look really nice but there's ZERO way I can keep them THAT clean Partly why I wanted a dark matte finish, blends with the brake dust

Good to hear they are working nicely on the track (I heard a while back they had some issues coming away from the backing plate), how are they on the road though ? I dig the DS2500's at the mo, just need to get the rears done as well now.

Anyone from here ? Hello if so

I forgot to post some pics:

I didn't get a chance to get under the car yesterday, family things to do but I'll see how long my ones last. The quality of the items felt good to me, I don't disagree about quality items (but they seemed the same to me) time will tell and I WILL sling pics up.

I'm on the cheap ones at the moment, I installed them on 02/05/2015, I'll inspect them tomorrow and sling some photo's up. I don't buy into the forum scaremongering until I've had a look, tested it myself. (of course, a fair bit of it is spot on and from experience - thus worth searching/asking)

Cheers guys. Yep, it's the longevity which I'm certainly curious about. I guess if I really like the colour, then it'll possibly make sense to get them powder coated. It's pretty amazing stuff though, soo much can be done with it.

So I wanted a darker, matte anthracite finish to my wheels, similar to what GT3's have as an option on their cars. I thought I'd try plastidip in this instance, partly as I thought well, if I don't like the colour I can just pull it off and try another shade, and also due to less prep work compared to painting. I used the proper US plastidip as the EU stuff isn't as good. 4 x coats of matte black (4 cans apx - order a couple more if you want to get the rear of the wheel) 2 x coats of thundercloud silver (2 cans) So to start with, a bit of kerb rash on some wheels, and in need of a total strip down refurb if being honest. I just cleaned them up as best as I could and dried them out. Part way through on the matte black: Coating of thundercloud: 2 x coats of thundercloud: Although I didn't, I'd advise flattening down any chips/rash as it's still visible otherwise. I wasn't bothered about a perfect finish but irrespective of that, I think they've turned out quite nice. We'll see how long they last, and I need to order a bit more (+ the thinner to do repairs) to do the door handles etc

Can I just also say, I'd record the conversations you have with this person.

I would just talk to him to find out what the problem is. Hopefully you can just settle it like adults (although he sounds like a mong child), just try and keep emotion out of it and stay as calm as possible.

Rob, my mate has just been sorting out the paper work for the Murci SV (as he imported it), good to see you've gotten yours sorted but I think it could be a few weeks for him
