Phew, I initially thought you guys could only hear v6's :-D A friend up north has the same set up, so I'm trying to sort something out but we'll see. Lovely machines but there is at least one Friday car on the market at the moment, so if you win, pm me and I'll advise which to avoid :-D

God damn I hate using phones for this, need a mouse! So I can't circle onto the image to show where it's fouling. On the left, it's easy to see where, on the right, just in front of the y-pipe brace, kind of where on the body of the car it goes from light to dark it's just touching there. (I'll circle it another day)

Haha, the Scorpion will be up for sale. I'll get photos today after I finish cleaning it.

Yeah it just looked like it would fit better the other way around. So in the end, exactly what Pete described was the issue, haha. Maybe I could do the same trick to save selling/buying faff? (he used some intercooler hose at those 2 points)

Not upside down but we're adjusting it, but at least we know the issue!

Woo, found the problem! I lied, the y-pipe WAS fouling! Looks like the stillen was on upside down, Kwikfit spotted it just now :-D Fingers crossed.

Hey, oh if we're understanding each other, the guys at h-dev put the decats on and afterwards the mid-pipe was catching the cross brace. So they put a jubilee clip onto the rubber hangar thing to help keep it up rather than sagging slightly. That's still on. I'll see if any local place can help today.

Bugger. Took the heat shields off, in good condition BUT it's still rattling like a SOAB! Hmm

ABSOLUTELY ! My mates old one had just under 800bhp, with KW's and on slicks at Silverstone It was certainly entertaining, until there was heat in the tyres but once up to temp, it was stupendous.

Howdy, Is that enough in your opinion to do decats (non resonated but potentially getting resonated ones soon) ? Many thanks !

Nice one, after seeing it in Evo, it was on my list - now it definitely is

Ah I see, yeah that could be a fair alternative to do. Wouldn't it mean that another part of the exhaust could get hotter though ? (I have no idea, just throwing that out there!)

So following on from my exhaust woes thread, I think the noise is coming from the part of the heat shields which aren't fixed to the car (why they designed it like that is odd). Anyway, I'm going to try ripping them out or modifying them to see if that get's rid of the cobra-induced-rattle. If it does, and they come out - I'd like to try something in their place as I can often feel some heat already with the decats there. Any recommendations as to what I could try ? http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/heat-shielding-protection

Most of the time it's around 27, it was 28 before I put the Nismo wing on

They are great down there mate, also worth trying Sly at Kaizer (not far either for us): http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/167-kaizer-motor-company http://www.kaizermotor.co.uk/

Absolutely, I'd almost say start it around the 1 min mark - and turn up the volume !

You record at a higher resolution (say 2k), then can crop in (720p). At any rate, if your camera has the same lens function as my one, no chance of it working with a normal mount.

Kwikfit will do this, around £20ish per axle - just ensure they are careful, or you know them (like my local place). I was going to an independent before but I didn't really like his attitude, if he actually did a good deal, I'd have the whole lot in one place !

Worth mentioning for some people here I should imagine. https://www.duplicolor.com/products/carbonFiber/?WT.mc_id=Promo1Marquee I'm just watching this: Obviously just an effect but probably handy...

If Brad does decide to have a go on another, I'll see if we can video it for a guide

If your camera is the same as my old Canon HF11, there's not a single thing you can do but get a GoPro type of camera. The camera itself (well, my HF11) has a floating lens, which basically gives you a reasonable smooth image when you're walking around for example but it cannot deal with the high frequency vibrations in a car. Even if you switch off the stabilisation function in the menu it won't help. The only way to do it is to isolate it from connecting to the car directly, and I couldn't be arsed to engineer something so I bought other cameras.

Just gonna quote that so you can't go back on it I'll probably do my one at some point this year as I don't know when it was done previously, if at all !

What was that Brad ?

Hopefully it hasn't financially cost you a lot BUT learning from mistakes like this is actually pretty beneficial in the long term (although sodding annoying!).

Well I think that's the best cover I can find, so I'll have one if my car stays in Surrey. Speaking of birdy shite, one had dumped on my bonnet, I'm not sure how many days it was on there as I came back a week later. However, it's eaten into the paint and can't be shifted with a rotary polisher FFS !
