Works like a charm again Thanks Pete

These guys are the only people I have seen doing nice gauge faces for the zed. http://www.blackcatcustom.com/

+1 on Camskill prices, but needs to be a tyre they shift a load of to get really good prices as they buy them by the bucket load. I bought some Federal Rsr's 265/35/18 for my Rx7 for £170 each, awesome tyre, even on a damp trackday which surprised me, plenty of grip and gave plenty of feel when getting close to the limits and if it did go it was very manageable.

Thanks for the input buddy. You can never have enough information imho and appreciated the post with your findings and facts on oil used etc

Cant believe i didnt recognise it, seen it at the zed shed

The recent spat of failures are mostly big ends, fuel octane rating will have no bearing (excuse the pun) on big ends, see Keyser & Busters very helpful xmas tale on a members car Oil or lack of will be the culprit. Of course as 2nd or 3rd owners etc of a car we have no idea just how previous owners have cared for the car besides any service history although that would be at specific intervals. I hate to be negative and by no means trying to have a dig at 350s, just trying to perhaps highlight causes for these big end failures, if there is any common ground of course, we could just dismiss it as circumstance or ask the questions for our own benefit

Well maybe not quite as simple and i am curious, so if you dont want to contribute, please dont Octane rating of fuel will make no difference to big end bearings which seems to the theme at present

There have been a few Zeds with broken engines recently, mainly bottom end failures it would seem. In general the question of oil level is bought up, but not what oil are you using. So with anyone with a broken zed like to contribute to what oil they are using. I am using Castrol Edge 5w-30 fully synth, when i told a good friend of mine who is very experienced with Skyline tuning he said instantly, get it out of there, i wont repeat the rest, lol. He explained further with examples and made note to a tuned R32 which he did an oil change to using Edge. By all accounts oil temps were a good few degrees higher immediately after changing, did a few 100 miles and wasnt convinced so swapped it out, i cant remember what he said he used (Motul i think) but did say oil temps were back to previous readings and the Edge he took out seemed to be very thin and contaminated, like a flushing oil. Not looking to get into a Edge is fine battle as it came recommended to me by Opie and i am sure they know their onions, but i would be curious to members recent failures if they want to contribute.

But you can pour glitter on it Please either paint your jdm calipers or get some Brembos, will be worth it in the long run

The best looking 350 around and only two distant photos at the kerb side! I find these style of adverts so lazy, at least if you think its best looking 350 around get plenty of quality photos in a decent location.

Tried to find the song on itunes but its not there, if i download it somewhere else, how can i get it into my play list?

Round mine, i do you a swap for one drift trike, lol

Where can i buy one of those drift trikes :)

I agree mate, BF4 campaign is awful. So went and bought BF3 for a fiver, i'd forgotten how good it was! I concur, bought on Sunday, campaign finished by Thursday and that was a hour or two here and there, not constant play! Good campaign but just way way to short imho.

They came on a set of wheels i bought in the summer, my wheels already had good tyres so held them as spares but having a clear out and putting the money toward some 18" track day tyres Yokohama are a very good tyre

As above, contact me if you are interest outside of ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=131074145086&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:GB:1123

Isnt it pretty interesting already performance wise I like the above, something a bit more visually gratifying would be nice, hopefully smaller, but doubt that would happen

I originally wanted a silverstone grey 350z and ended up with a black one and i have to say now, i am so pleased i did. Biggest impact on any black car is a decent choice of wheel, colour of the wheel included in that imho. Forget trying to add colours whether that be to trim or accents etc it just looks tacky (particularly if you get it ever so slightly wrong) and carbon is just too old hat and passe now and it blends too much with black to actually stand out enough to be noticeable.

I think it works, but as some said, car needs to be low to the ground and needs to be a glow rather than bright which is how they are usually appear, whether thats because of fitting position or kits i dont know.

Strictly speaking yes, but depends on size of pipe, silencers (straight through etc) I once made a fatal error of having a twin 2" pipe made for an Rx7 thinking it would equal 4" single, its all down to pye r squared when it comes to working out volume/flow of pipe diameter Wont make a huge difference on na cars anyway, much more important with forced induction when you want minimal back pressure

I have never been but have a fair few friends who have made the pilgrimage. All their views were you dont go to Monaco to watch a race, they were in the Marina and were lucky to see a few corners at best, but, they did all say the atmosphere was truly immense. Apparently there is a small floating restaurant in the next bay, they stopped there on the way back via boat on Monday and after 5 mins Eddie Jordan rocked up, who apparently has a band and the next thing they knew they were performing a mini gig.

Just been reading some of the comments on pistonheads surrounding the double points, i almost spat my beer out when i saw, "what is this, F1 or Mario cart".

Well maybe and sure they have a better idea than us, but its still a significant attempt to reduce the aero which you called for and is more than just the spoiler, i am afraid there is nothing the fia can do if the teams maximise what they have to work with unless they limit wind tunnel testing and i cant see how they would govern that
