  1. Did this a few months back and clicking noise has completly gone, even after my tackday there is still no noise! I think people saying that the noise came back need to maybe think about what grease to use, i used copper grease as its water proof, many others will just degrade and come off when they get wet and the noise will return.
  2. The manifold im doing is for an N/A zed, FI is a different beast and would warrent a different design. If there was enough interest then i will come up with a design and will need a test car, but as the majority of us owners will be N/A il be sorting that out first. I just begrudge paying nearly a grand for an intake when i know i can design and manufacture one for half that. And im surprised to hear that the kinetic ones fail on the welds, that sopunds bad quality and i can stress that anything i do would be fully purged when welding and id pressure test the manifold to assure quality.
  3. Hi guys just a feeler thread- I've been looking into intake manifolds since I bought the zed and I'd love a kinetic plenum as they seem off reviews to give good gains but there also the thick end of £800 quid and seem to all come from the states. I'm going to be fabbing up the plenum aften I've finished the inventor 3d model and get it dyno'ed to give before and after results. The main question is, is this something that other zed owners would be intrested in? A proven intake plenum, made well with all the supporting calculations and proven dyno results around the £500 or below mark? If my example works out well I may start to manufacture these in small batches and wonder if others may be as intrested as I am in unlocking more gains than a spacer can give?
  4. It's for luring young children into my car watching cbbc haha. Nah just be a cool option to have if I'm waiting or when I go camping on a road trip planned this summer. I'm more interested really in the sat nav module as would like that option but not paying over 300 quid for a kenwood item lol.
  5. Il start off this with I'm going to get a kenwood ddx double din head unit and I'm going to run the rear view camera as show in the sticky on here on how to instal it and the unit itself. Now, it has an aux option on the head unit that you use for the rear cAmera, but you can also buy two and three way splitters to run different Outputs, and I'm hoping to use one or two. Basically, apart from paying 350 quid for a kenwood sat nav module, are there any universal units that will use the aux lead and my double din screen to output a display onto? A box in affect that gives me sat nav and uses the screen to display and to work??? Next question is that it would be also cool to run a freeview box but my only consern is signal? Searching the web it seems signal when parked up can be hard to receive and has any1 any experience or recommendations of what aerial to buy if I wanted to revive a good signal and get channels working? Thanks on advance
  6. lol, the old rim poke debate. Honeslty, dont belive the hype, the only people who moan its illegal and fail mot's are the people who run gay 8j wheels haha. Ive run 9.5 and 10j on my s14a for 3 years with a 225 and 235 tire with loads of poke and low and never failed an mot or been pulled. its not illegal and is a grey area that no police or test station cares about lol
  7. any links to any other plenum builds?
  8. Intresting but cant seem to find them manifolds for sale? Are there any actual home made intakes that people have made as ive found a few on the U.S like - http://my350z.com/forum/intake-exhaust/551343-z-fever-anatomy-of-a-custom-made-vq35-intake-manifold.html Im a fabricator by trade and work as a design enigineer and im itching to get cracking on an intake but i cant find any actual proven designs as im not paying the 700 quid an kinetix manifold costs or 1k for a cosworth one?
  9. Too American on a jap car at a specialist jap car show in Japan lol??
  10. http://cdn.speedhunters.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Nagoya-Exciting-Showdown-14-37.jpg Very large but obvs works and is designed for an N/A application, i though this would be well too big and the TB would be overkill, but 11 sec passes with gas says otherwise lol
  11. Its an electric sat nav cubby as in: Ahhhh I see lol. Surprised how much this is over the more common push-flip type
  12. i like my current set up of rota gtr-d's in 9.5j et 10 up front with 225 tire and 10j et 10 on the rear with a 245 tire (spacers to make to et possible)
  13. haha, sorry for my americanism spelling lol. Yea il have a look at some r888s and stay away from slicks or the time being
  14. Not seen any rules as yet on not allowing slicks, its an open pit at oulton park next month. My mate in his evo who run 17's for track picks up part work r888's of ebay for like 50-60 quid a set but there a bit rarer in 18s and yea a good set of road tires would be a good idea but im probs not going to use the standard gt rays for the road again unless my other wheels have a problem and a good set of road tires commands a much higer price as there useful to all road users whereas track tires only accomodate to a small number of us so tend to be cheaper as they seem to almost give away part worn track tires. il keep my eyes open for something non slick lol
  15. Hi guys I'm doing a track day soon and guna get some tires as my current ditch finders are terrible. I've heard great things from the likes of r888 style tires but they can still command a good price part worn in 18s, but full slicks part worn are quiet cheap. Will fitting a set of slick tires with masses more grip damage suspension parts on my 350z if I go for a slick tire over a "cut slick" style tire?? As I don't want to bend and break things?
  16. ET will be stamped on the inside on the hub. if not. there not rotas
  17. How much are you after for the miltek exhaust?
  18. Random question but how big is this screen? If I don't manage to source one il just buy a screen. Is it 3.5 inches square?
  19. Zmanalex hasn't got one any idea of where I could source one?
  20. Sorry to be a noob but how do I pm him if he hasn't commented on the post lol?
  21. Hi guys, Im looking to put a small monitor in my 350z and run either a freeview box or a sat nav/ rear view camera, any suggestions on others that have done this as a small monitor is really cheap but I'd rather use a original surround from a sat nav equipped car so that it looks good. Any ideas of where I could get one of these from as eBay is giving me nothing lol? Thanks
  22. any idea where I could get one mate? Wanting to but the whole thing?
