Thats stretch is chaos latel.

I'm up and down there for work 

Looks like the weather didn't help with this one 

Hopefully they are OK 

Times are tough at moment 

They will go

Looks like they may have redesigned the grill during the modelling process. Im sure many saw this render back in May lol 

 

Would you rather have this grill?

Yeah 

I'd say do the master as well mate! They are inexpensive in the grand scheme of the job your doing 

ive just done mine and the clutch bled up a dream with a new master ...it was a right **** before 

Nice little run over to Worcester this morning for breakfast to the wheels on Wednesday meet that was on Saturday 

The want for a r35 is realy strong now love this one in blue today 

They are just a recaro Cs seat so I would think so

Yes, our own, not yet live, still debating packages, like stage 1, stage 2, stage 3 etc. All parts are on the shelf, 3 kits, just need to spend some time to finalise it. Been working with Stillen, CJM, Radius and Vortech for a long time on these. 

Yeah i know you was doing your own 

I'm looking forward to it

Why wait? It's on the shelf at TORQEN, literally  

Your one maybe 

Live on the website ? 

Love the new wrap

If you want bigger bhp numbers on a built engine then you will want to sell that gtm kit and go with the new kid on the block that will be here in winter 2020 

Capable of 20 psi out of the box  

Where are you based?  

Beautiful seats i nearly had the ones of John but was never really keen on the rails set up I contacted GSM regarding what rails would work and they suggested this https://www.sportseats4u.co.uk/shop/racing-seat-harness-roll-cages-brands/planted-technology-seat-frames/planted-nissan-350z-bracket

Hope that helps 

Super marmite on the looks but I had spin in a fk8 type r the other day and its super capable car with 4 seats and a massive boot 

F80 m3 is also close to that price and that is a capable motor for the money 

Worth developing your own od say pal 

Then get it avaible to buy

Even with tax and shipping, it still works out cheaper than most UK suppliers. Z1 are good, Never used ConceptZ but judging by their products, wording, and pricing they are basically Torqen in the US.

 

If you want proper rare parts for the Z, you need RHDJapan, Nengun or JDM Autolink

Pretty sure someone there is linked to them so that would explain that.

Z1 are good ive had a few bits off them and have been great ...apart from my last order which I had some issues with and they refuse to except the issue 

Which I've herd from someone else also 

That been said they are quick sometimes quicker than UK traders and usually spot on sominwould use them again

every time I go over speed bumps it's like a knocking noise. I had a MOT advisory of play in a drop link so it seems that'll be the culprit 

Had exactly that 

Ill report back how long my stock ones last 

I was going to buy whitline but no one had them in stock 

Pm Chris at tarmac sportz 

When we spoke a while ago he was doing his own branded ones 

What sort of noise ? 

I'm lowerd about that and run stock ones 

As long as the cars not to low you don't need flashy ones 

Looks tidy that

2 part update today from a load of work i did last week.

 

Part 1 is the home brew fuel starve kit to overcome the fuel starve issue on track, car currently starves on long right handers even with 3/4 of a tank and constantly refuelling through the day gets old quickly.

 

Credit to @nissanman312 for pointing me in the right direction with this one and being on hand to answer my questions as obviously anything fuel related is more daunting that the usually job!

 

Basically uses a low pressure protec fuel pump mounted at the bottom of the passenger side portion of the fuel tank to pump fuel from that side, over the hump into the tank and into the stock fuel bucket in the drivers side where the stock fuel pump is. 

 

Fuel pump is mounted to the structure inside the tank using cable ties with the filter as close to the bottoms as possible. Obviously doing this on as emptier tank as possible is a must.

 

 

Submersible fuel hose is routed from the Protec pump outlet over the hump in the tank and into the top of the opening in the top of the stock fuel bucket, again held in position with cable ties. 

 

Bulkhead rated for use with fuel added to the top of the fuel sender unit

 

cable routed through the access panel via a rubber grommet

 

i added a plug at this point so i could split the loom without issue, if i ever need to take the sender unit out again 

 

and for now Ive routed some 4 core armoured cable into the the armrest and wired to a 12v plug

 

so the plan is plug the pump in whilst on track days and i can unplug it on the road so as not to run the pump dry.

 

when you plug it in with the engine off you can hear the pump whirring away in there so i know it work.

 

the setup is basically what Z1 offer in their fuel starve kit without the hydromat and without splicing the power for the pump into the stock fuel pump loom (meaning its on at all times).

 

I am on track day Sunday at Anglesey which will be ultimately be where i find out if this was worth all the trouble!

 

nice job mate like I say ill be working with protec on a more permanent solution soon but if anyone wants this set up in the mean time just give me a shout 

I cant wait to hear your thoughts it works a treat for me i hope you see the same results

update part 2 is basically the fitment of:

 

white diff bushing kit

z1 rear subframe collars

bell raceworks diff brace

 

 

as expected, the diff bushing in the subframe was a bish to get out. 50mm hole saw, 8mm drill, recipricating saw and a big hammer. Took just over an hour for it to surrender.

 

 

fitting the new bushing was a 5 minute job on the other hand. I lobbed them all in the freezer the nigh before so they all flew in.

 

 

The diff brace was not as simple as its made out to be. I got it to line up just about but that's with the diff in loosely and all shafts disconnected, if you where to just over this up to your diff with everything bolted up you'd have some trouble I'd imagine. 

 

Also there is a nut with locating boss welded to it that is the top mounting point (not seen in the picture), which needs to be fitted from the inside face of the subframe which was a bit fiddly even which the entire rear end disassembled. Still very doable though.

 

last up was the subframe collars, once everything is off the car these slip in nicely.

 

Now obviously i can't comment on the difference all these things have made individually, but as as collective I am absolutely blown away by the difference they have made. I wasn't expecting to feel that much of a benefit on the road but the difference is staggering. Its a very difficult thing to describe but basically feels like you're right foot has a much more direct connection with the back end. You can pile the power on much sooner and at a quicker rate because the way its delivered is much smooth so unsettles the car less. 

 

Its also stopped the intrusive TC system kicking in at every opportunity because the diff isn't waggling round like a turd in a bucket.

 

Honestly wasn't expecting the difference to be be this good but this has left me pleasantly surprised! 

 

A proper hardcore diff needs to get added to my wishlist now!

 

 

 

They are brilliant i love mine 

Did you double check the whitline instructions on those diff ears ? They were wrong at some point and it destroyed my crown wheel and pinion as the diff was running out of line 

I cant remember which way round they went now tho but if you eye them with the old bush it's clear to see

I’ve not considered these yet, they’d make a nice change and seem reasonably priced 

they look great on a 350 

Nismo v2 lift the 350 as well but are twice the price 

ill take the clutch line please you have pm

Also swapped out the decat to manifold gaskets to some super high temp ones recommend by @Sim they seem to have stopped the fumes for now the others were fairly worn out 

Changed out the clutch master yesterday with the expert help of @350Butcher as the fluid was looking crap even after the new slave and lots of bleeding in hindsight I should of put it on when I had the clutch fitted as the system bled up perfectly after 

Either way its done now 

Z1 sent. Me the wrong cluch line tho so I have one for a de if anyones after one 

I have one rolling around my van I should stick it up
