Seems the touring car drivers can keep competitive and more so with advancing years, maybe he is just too old and feeling the heat, is the car any good? Sorry dont follow it much, but did watch some of the Thruxton round at the weekend as its my most local circuit and been round with car and bike and its f'in quick, so thought it would make good watching.

If only the E92 looked as good as the E46 i would have one in a heartbeat. I dont want to rain on your parade, but i would be gobsmacked if you found 30 secs, unless it inspires so much more confidence than the Zed, the two are actually very very similar paced around the ring (if you pay any attention to ring times), 4 secs to the M3 with the same Horst von Saurma at the wheel.

Yeah i am pretty much the same, funnily enough the 350 was probably the longest i had a car for a quite some time and only changed to a supercharged one because i just couldnt say no to the price. I find i change for a few reasons, my driving habits change, i.e wanting to spend more time at the track or road, finances have allowing the purchase of something previously out of touch or depreciation brings something into budget, or simply something catches my eye that previously i hadnt even entertained and thought i should have one. I have even got out of one thing into another and back into what i had before because it wasnt as good as you thought. You are a long time dead, enjoy whatever you can, when you can.

Already been up on the Stang thread.

Oh careful, you will have Stevod knocking your door down, i think they are already in a bromance

I dont often post on for sale threads but jeez, hard work to sell a quality item thats effectively brand new and heavily discounted

So whats the code?

If it stays on you should be able to get a code for the problem, have a search on how to pull that code or go to a garage and get them to plug their diagnostics in. What size tyres are you running?

If you can repeat this behaviour every time, get a mate in the car and video it and also try it with the tcs turned off, how are you slowing the car down, gear changes or brakes? What equipment did your long trusted friend mechanic use to check the alignment measurements?

Sorry dude, you are changing the symptoms as we go, you say above you lift mid corner, now its in a straight line! So you say the tc is kicking in, is the light coming on at these 20mph or slower roundabouts? Personally i would suggest you see if there is a nice local member to you who you could meet with, demonstrate the problem too and see if its the same in their car or at the very least put up a video of its behaviour.

Oh no, nothing like that, i cant remember exactly which model (sorry dont have the car any more) but i went for the biggest i could get, something more like https://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?prod=rb-0620

Mine was night and day difference, from whooshing and hissing all over the place to near silent.

I watched a bit of world touring car qualifying from the ring yesterday, that was pretty interesting, i will definitely try to watch the race, just from a point of interest in it being at the ring rather than the cars.

I wouldnt draw too much comparison to under bonnet temps and ait's, if the intercooler is doing its job they might well be fine and dont forget an intercooler is only effective when in direct air flow, i.e moving, if you are below ambient temp its doing ok, of course running turbos you could always get water/meth injection, more power (if mapped with the water/meth) and keeps down aits, win win

Sorry, i know i have asked but what are your ait's? I totally get going fi and modifying being a hobby, got to spend your money on something and sure its better than drugs etc but, if you want a V8, buy a V8, i cant believe there isnt a V8 out there that doesnt float your boat for a 350z + V8 conversion. I get why Wasso did it, he had access to Keyser, so respectfully it was a lot cheaper than a garage doing the work at £50 per hour!

Wasso has done it with Keyser and Buster. If you are going to get a garage to do it, make sure they are reputable in doing it and get yourself some very very deep pockets.

Cant be easy with people like me in here

Get the torque app for your phone and you can see what ait's are, no point spending money if the intercooler is doing its job, even if the under bonnet temps seem high and intercooler looks blocked, ait's might be good,

We have all been there and seen that, remember a vid on here from last year from someone with a Ferrari 360 refusing to move for them, ive had it a number of times and its usually "faster" and more expensive cars that seem not to want to move. Anyway, back to ev's

No disrespect to GT86's but if a GTR round Silverstone (massive wide power circuit) isnt faster than a GT86, the GT86 driver had to be a complete driving god and the gtr owner the absolute opposite.

You should go on the Tesla forum, tell them how much you love your 350z and its so much better than an ev, oh hang on, why would you do that........

If this is all its ever going be, that ev's have good 0-60 times so that makes them better and combined with the attitude above, surely the "discussion" has ended, a whole thread gets created to massage gz's Tesla/Elon obsession and still the toys are coming out the pram when opposing views or a point of interest is penned about Elon/Tesla (sorry dont see much other ev chat here) if members cant say anything against Tesla/Elon without non rational discussion re the ramifications then this thread should be locked or responses (including my own) "tidied" regularly.
