  1. 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.
  2. Tremenous amount of work your putting into this show
  3. TBF it's not my first time, I got started in 1994 with a Classic II
  4. 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
  5. Don't about the roadster but in my coupe it's windscreen wash or window down, never both!
  6. 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
  7. I did some quick maths, and that means you were 2000 miles away
  8. 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/
  9. O darn, maybe I should think bigger Isn't there a v8 lying around somewhere?
  10. This popped up on my faceballz. Looks proppa sick
  11. Oooooh, always fancied one but too scared of the engine bills...
  12. In for the build, this should be ace!
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. If I knew how to use spanners I might be the same, but I can do way less damage with a lambswool mitt
  16. How dare you! Everyone knows silver is simply a vegetarian GM
  17. Well, clearly I couldn't agree with me more In the spirit of sharing a few of my favourite goodies:
  18. +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.
  19. FTFY. If they need a fridge or a dog eating, they'll maybe give Samsung a call.
  20. Glad they sorted out that giant aerial at the same time Looks stunning mate, beautiful Z.
  21. If I was a betting man, I'd guess they'll be teaming up with someone else who already makes cars and then bolting stuff on for autonomy. Merits of EVs aside (I think there's a thread somewhere on it ) these things are the future and apple makes a fortune marking up on quality hardware as it is, so it's a natural progression for an outfit with more cash reserves than, well, anyone!
  22. In addition to the sensible stuff already, when you do look underneath, may as well check the aftermarket exhaust clears the big W brace. Mine was touching it for a little while and made a racket at lower revs.
  23. I put Michelin Alpin PA4s (I think there's a PA5 on the way?) on last winter, they were very capable throughout, but I didn't get a chance for the ultimate test of snow, just cold and a fair bit of heavy rain on a eur jaunt. TBH I wouldn't go to the trouble of refitting them this winter (unless it gets bleak) as the MPSS feel winter capable to me (I'm not trying to start a winter rubber debate) and I do carry emergency snow socks and drive a lot less heavy footed in the cold but if I do by some wheels and keep the Rays, I'd do the swap.
