  1. Fantastic pics There's just something magical about Spitfire design I believe they did it to halt the rise of mindless right wing lunatics, hell bent on domination and oppression of other people, for no reason other than them being of a different country, race or religion.
  2. Reading on here, the throttle body clean on the DE is no big drama but the HR has the potential to make the ECU go bananas. MAF is delicate, copy what someone else on here has done before without breaking it . I'd personally disconnect the battery and pump the brakes a few times before touching any of it, but some people like to live more dangerously. There's a load of threads on this, copy this into google and fill your boots - site:350z-uk.com clean throttle body DISCLAIMER - you breaking anything is nothing to do with me, for info only here!
  3. Just been to Durham and back, 280 miles. 160m cross country A-roads and 120m legal motorway speeds - 28mpg according to the machine. More than enough, given the fun that was had on the A road sections. Worth 13 fewer MPG any day
  4. In theory you've got about a 1.2 seconds less 0-62 (5.9 on a DE v 7.1 in a scirocco - both alleged on autotrader). You've got an extra 76 bhp (assuming an 11 year old Zed hasn't lost any over the years, which it will) and you're also lugging circa 200kg more about. The mods won't count for anything unless it's been UpRev'd. On top of that he's got a modern auto, which probably shifts faster than a manual Zed (anyone?) and may even get off the line better (inertia?), unless you're dumping the clutch with the TCS off and keep wheel spin to a minimum. Sounds about right to me If you could find somewhere legal and safe, you might have more luck from 60-122, than 0-62.
  5. Tremenous amount of work your putting into this show
  6. TBF it's not my first time, I got started in 1994 with a Classic II
  7. Superior choice there Stu. The best thing about Cipher is that UpRev claim it uses Nissan proprietary protocols - meaning faster logging rates and higher res data over generic OBD gadgets. My guess is probably half the reason for it's high cost is royalties to Nissan for access to their protocols. That's cheap, you should see the bill for the MBP you just made me order I hope you're pleased with yourself Chris
  8. Don't about the roadster but in my coupe it's windscreen wash or window down, never both!
  9. Seen ones in Brazil and Colombia, not Japan. I just hope they have really thorough cleaning staff, unlike the peep shows in Amsterdam which I've been told smell awful. I understand some love hotels have a glass toilet door so the Mrs can watch you on the bog. Way to get her in the mood
  10. I did some quick maths, and that means you were 2000 miles away
  11. Looks good, I need something for my wrapped roof. Maybe one for my thread http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/100787-one-stop-guide-for-a-proper-wash/
  12. O darn, maybe I should think bigger Isn't there a v8 lying around somewhere?
  13. This popped up on my faceballz. Looks proppa sick
  14. Oooooh, always fancied one but too scared of the engine bills...
  15. In for the build, this should be ace!
  16. Close. I rang the concierge and asked for an extra pillow I only moved it enough for the photo and to put a tiny pin hole in each of the nodders
  17. Working away for a few days, just checked in to the hotel in Durham, checked out the mini bar. Have mini bars change a lot in the last few years? Vodka ✔️ Whisky ✔️ Gin ✔️ Mixers ✔️ Nuts ✔️ Sex lube??? Err. ✔️ Ever found anything unexpected in a hotel room? PS - can anyone recommend a budget escort service round here
  18. If I knew how to use spanners I might be the same, but I can do way less damage with a lambswool mitt
  19. How dare you! Everyone knows silver is simply a vegetarian GM
  20. Well, clearly I couldn't agree with me more In the spirit of sharing a few of my favourite goodies:
  21. +1 for podcasts, Football Weekly (for footy fans) Smoking Tire for gearheads (it's in yankee) AMMO NYC (for detailing). I also carry two tubs of octane booster in case of going off the reservation.
  22. FTFY. If they need a fridge or a dog eating, they'll maybe give Samsung a call.
