I'm interested to find out how stiffer anti roll bars would affect the Z's handling on track.  If you have any used ones for sale please get in touch.  Thanks. N.

My latest video is a collection of repairs and mods I've done the the Z. 

1. I modify the boot to make it bigger and safer

2. Repair a leaky door seal

3. Repaint the scratched door handle with plastidip

4. Hack the Bose stereo

5. Give the interior a good clean

6. Fit brighter headlights

7. Do the "penny trick" on the boot lid

Gear knob was looking a bit tatty, so cleaned it, sanded it then re-painted it.  Doesn't look too bad now.

Decided to modify my 350Z boot.  Much bigger now and things don't fly at your head on heavy breaking!

My video review of the 370Z.  I compare it to the 350Z and highlight the changes and improvements.

My video guide on how to change the spark plugs as well as engine oil & filter, gearbox oil, differential fluid and coolant.

Ok I get you now. 

Are they the mounts that are described as "low mounts" or just standards? 

Was considering a change of seat for a better position but am unsure if it would sit me low enough in the end really.  

Would love to try it and thanks for the offer. But, won't be heading to Trac. It's a fair way off for me as with most shows down here in deepest darkest devon.

 

Good luck with everything and looking forward to more in the series.

No idea if they are low mounts.  To be fair I don't see how they could be lower though without cutting into the car.

Been watching the series. Really enjoying it.  

Thanks for taking the time

 

Bit annoyed that the seat change gives less headroom. I would want more as I'm 6'4

 

Thinking of doing the full service now.

Thanks mate.  Glad to hear you're enjoying it.

Maybe I should clarify on the seat.  I configured it so the rear is one notch (there are 3) higher than the front.  So I sit at an angle which I prefer.  That was what I meant by "higher".  Probably not the best description.  Anyway overall you sit lower in the car as the seat is thinner than stock and mounts lower.    You can also move the seat further back more to give more leg room, again as it's thinner.  I'm 6 foot and can't fully depress the pedals with the seat all the way back.

If you are at TRAX on Sunday you can have a go!

Really good video again Neil 

My next service will be a P3 also

Thanks as always Davey. You gonna do the P3 yourself?

This week it's a complete service overhaul.  I change the engine oil, gearbox oil, differential fluid, coolant, spark plugs and clean the MAF & throttle body.  Full video on YouTube as usual.

My video shows you how I bought and fitted a OMP ARS-R racing seat into my 350Z.

I got mine from GSM Performance in Nottingham.  Nice, friendly place and you can actually go there and try out the seats before you buy one.   I manged to get a discount code which should get you 5% off: RAR-GSM

On this week's video I buy and fit a OMP ARS-R racing seat to the Z.  I visited GSM Performance in Nottingham and had a good time trying out all their seats.  I've managed to get a discount code for GSM which should get you 5% off most stuff:  RAR-GSM.

It's apparently a bit tricky to fnd a racing seat that fits a 350Z.  This OMP one just fits but does still rub slightly against the door car.

Next one please Neil also 

Done. 

When I got the car it had 4 different types of tyres on it.  On the track it was a bit of a handful and you never really knew what the car was going to do!  In my latest video Gary and I test the car before and after fitting decent tyres.   We used Kumho's PS91 Ultra Performance road tyres - the best road tyres they sell.  How well do they hold up on the track?

In this video I show you how I swapped out the potentially problematic clutch slave cylinder and also fixed a whole bunch of small, but annoying issues.

I replaced the clutch slave cylinder and fixed of whole buch of small, yet annoying issues.  My video below details it all.

Did I see this at Japanese Performance Show?...... 

No, I wasn't there but I am going to TRAX next month.

@350Butcher Massive thanks for this.  Been looking for ages to find those parts.  Not wanting to bother you too much but could I ask a few more questions please?

1.  How did you secure the metal intake ducts to the front of the car?

2. What thickness metal sheet did you get?

3.  What type of metal was it?  I assume aluminium?

4. How did you secure the metal outlet duct to the metal sheet?

Thanks, Neil.

@350Butcher Great build so far!   Do you mind if I ask about the brake ducts please/  They look amazing.  A really ingenious solution. 

May I ask where you bought all the parts from please as I'd like to do this to my Z too.   Did you have to do much cutting for the front ducts?

Big thanks.   Neil.

Looks way too nice to be a track toy 

Thanks!  Don't worry, I'll take care of her.  I use her on the road too you know!

Gave the Z a thorough clean.
