They are rather large on the Fuji, good call above, pop into a local custom exhaust centre Powerflow etc and choose something to your liking, should cost you circa £75.

Nismo will have the same tone as its basically the same exhaust, fujitsubo made the nismo exhaust, but you would pay more and struggle to find one. Keep the fuji its quality

Looks easy http://www.350z-tech...le-shifter.html I was thinking auto when i got my first zed and was looking at the paddle shifts. Its also recommended to get a valve body upgrade to speed up shifts. http://my350z.com/forum/forced-induction/136273-sgp-5at-valve-body-video.html Stillen and Transgo also do kits.

There is a 2nd hand buddy club on ebay the moment.

Yeah i get the stereo works, but saying to check whether you have the corresponding wires for the steering controls at the connector. Post number 9 here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/14773-got-the-headunit-out-but-what-is-this-connection/

Is it not kind of different being punished for breaking a law where you know what the "penalties" are than just randomly committing said acts? Aside from watching the news last night at the house of commons, i couldnt help but think, has anyone ever wanted or gone on a protest? Seems to me a really odd thing to want to do?

Or its just a sh*t advert Much the same as the add for my fi zed, everyone jumped on the shocking bodykit and the guys context when i put the add up here, but, turned out to be a great car and buy. A spoiler is removed in 30 mins, hardly worth concern imho. But your right, it does lack detail, but that may be to someones advantage

My old jet ski would do 65 - 70, thats pretty quick when your that close to the water

Yep, imho a car that should be on everyones list, awesome drive and they way they make power is epic. The only moving part is the rotor, no valves, cams etc, they rev so quick its like a bike engine.

Kind of like this: 180mph in a gas turbine open canopy pleasure boat.... I have been over 100mph on the water, my bro in law was ex Class 1 world champion, BUT, that was a fully enclosed canopy and it felt quick.

A 72" block of billet for the grill, you have to love that. Can you imagine someone in the UK saying, yes please, machine up that block of 72" billet please and of course i will pay £5k (guess) probably more. Just love the american dream, anything is possible and everything can be built (cars, bikes, boats etc), such a shame you will never see stuff like that over here.

My last rotary on a streetport made anywhere from 450bhp - 501bhp for 20k+ miles from day one on a rebuild until it sh*t a waterseal, if i wanted to get it rebuild (drive in/drive out) it would have cost the same as your looking to spend on headers and cams or there abouts. Sure there is extra work in machining for a bridge but once its done its no different Just as i left the rotary circles people were starting to play with peripheral ports or semi peripheral in the quest for more power.

Reminds me of a bridgeport rotary

A comment also from last that rang quite true: No one in the CIVILIZED world likes Isis

I watched a few bits on this last night. It would seem the airstrikes are making way for Kurdish forces to retake positions by driving Isis/Deash/Isil or whatever they are called today out. This is apparently part of a 12 stage plan, i guess we havent been informed on what the other stages are yet. They certainly didnt **** about though did they, airstrikes within a few hours of the bill being passed.

Airstrikes it is then, apparently part of a 12 stage plan?

Sorry I cant be much more help but have a search around for stereo wiring plugs/schematic and it will indentify the connectors and respective wires and what they do, speaker, power wires etc and then see what you have. There may well a couple of wires tucked away on the loom.

Would you not just build an MOT cat pipe you fit to the centre section for MOT? Even if you were running true duals you could easily make a Y-cat-Y to make an easily swapped section, then just run straight pipes in that section the rest of the time, V bands or bolt through flanges and it would be a quick swap. My understanding is if a cat was fitted it needs to be there, so you will need two, I am happy to wrong on that though.

Csl lap was wet according to here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Top_Gear_test_track_Power_Lap_Times Seem to remember they said you could add 4 seconds for a wet lap.

Which neither have you certainly not experience, perhaps our tuners have a better experience than all of us combined on this thread, obviously not, they dont know how to tune na power apparently. OK, enough of this bitching. We dont know how to tune N/A here, the stock answer is always "its not worth it" and that was what I used to say to people ......... until I took a bit of time to talk to Ben about it and look into the research he has done. I CBA to check but I imagine he has linked up the the guys in the States that are seeing 340+ whp from NA engines, so if a couple of lads in their big American garajjjes can do it then you do have to ask the question why Abbey, Horsham etc cant. Id also say its a pretty fair assumption that someone who is asking about headers and true N/A tuning will have spent the £500 and couple of hours doing the 350Z BPU's that are quoted on here pretty much every day. Experience? In the past he has fitted a V8 to an S13, did his own adjustments to get the roll centres and other geo correct and then went and won the Time Attack handling challenge (with a ringer driver TBF) and then went onto spaceframe the front end of it. I know there are guys here that have done some modifications, but not like that. Flame away, but the vast majority of owners on here have extremely limited tuning experience and generally just walk into a tuners and ask "how much?", to start picking at a guy who has made his own modificed cars and has taken the time to research and speak to guys over the pond that are at the cutting edge of VQ35 tuning is probably exactly why we are so far behind over here. EDIT: to give you a nice example, about 10 years ago people were saying that an SR20 couldnt handle more than 330hp without forging, manifolds and a shitload of cash thrown at it. I can now pick one up and make it 450hp for less than £1500. Technology moves forward, sure, but knowledge moves a lot more quickly if youre prepared to listen. Dont take this the wrong way Doc but, impressive as the mentioned v8 swap etc is, it still isnt experience of tuning vq engines which was my point and if Abbey/Horsham etc cant tune n/a as you say, Ben is f**ked anyway as who is going to map it? The general "bitchin" is to the figures (£ to hp) proposed and i stand by it, there is no way you are getting 340 rwhp out a zed for the cost of some headers, cams and some gtr fuelling.

Which neither have you certainly not experience, perhaps our tuners have a better experience than all of us combined on this thread, obviously not, they dont know how to tune na power apparently. American dynos on the most part over read compared to ours, its widely acknowledged. Dynos are good for nothing more than pub trumps, how does his car drive? and i am not talking flat out in time attack How bored will you get changing the headers every year so you can get through an mot? I can absolutely guarantee though, we would love you to prove us wrong, so more power to you, ist nothing personal, but there are some good responses on this thread, if you choose to dismiss them, thats up to you

Exactly the problem with large throttle bodies, designed to get as much air in as possible at wot, sounds like a good thing until you realise you somehow have to tune to the car to run part throttle

Fill your boots then buddy, you can be the ground breaking first UK 350z owner to get 340 rwhp na for less than the cost of fi

Guess it depends on your definition of "not far off supercharger power" And yes, i bought an all single and dancing big thottle body for my Rx7 that the Amercians thought was great, it wasnt....
