  1. Correct, same as Renault make the engine but it all comes under the Nissan badge.

     

    I wouldn't be overly worried about Nissans R&D, if they were trying to design the best and most functional exhaust system for the 350z then I think they could have come up with something a bit better than the OEM systems for both the 350 & 370z but with most things costs was probably more of a concern over optimal performance and longevity..

     

     

    I thought calsonic designed/manufactured the exhaust systems for Nissan?

     

    Isnt it a VQ engine in the 350z designed by and made by Nissan in Japan, but used by Renault due to the amount of awards it won.

  2. Having come from a Subaru Impreza STI, i can put my input into this.

     

    Once you get out on the open roads or motorway above 50mph then you will not care for the turbo as i found out the other day on way to Bristol with a convoy :) The power delivery at these speeds is epic and something the scooby could definately not match. The power low end acclerating is not as furious as a turbo, it feels alot smoother, but definately still shifts :)

  3. Im getting a new Y-Pipe and was wondering apart from only getting stainless steel, is there anything out there i should not buy? or anything which in this category would give any performance boost ?

  4. Glad you passed. Few numbers there are very close to the limits though. Not that that's unusual, all zeds that ive seen seem very close.

     

    yeh the tester said about this, he does alot of skylines and evos there too and says they are always on the limit.

  5. Expiry date of 13/04/2013 on the previous MOT? And your daily car? That's brave! :lol:

     

    Good result though :thumbs:

     

    I always leave things to last min, even on mothers day, i wont know unless some one tells me and its often the day before or even on the day :)

  6. Looks like it was hardly used at those previous mileages!

     

    Its an import so a huge lump of it is in KM

    But Keyser had it before me, i use it daily :)

     

    I meant it looks like it only did 6k miles from April 2010 to April 2012. Thats not bad going for 2 years!

     

    I think that may have been the time Keyser and Zed Shed did all the work on it, that would explain the low mileage :)

  7. Good man, take care, well reasonably good care :):drive1

     

    I know my limits :) just ask keyser, he couldnt believe it when i test drove it, i was the first person ever to test the brakes a few times before i took it out on the road, and even then crazily early gear changes and low acceleration, he admitted before the test drove he took one look at me and expected me to go mental ;) but im a good boy

  8. I was going to say there is not one car in that car park apart from the Zed and police, i dont think the owner was doing much wrong here, many times ive parked a car in a unusual angle to take pics etc.

     

    Then theres the question who took the pic? the onwer? the police? member of the public?

     

    Then theres the question where is everyone? the owner? the police?

     

    Then theres the question whos to say one of the coppers doesnt own it?

    You need to get out a bit more :);)

     

    Haha, very good idea, im taking the Zed out for a spin at about 7:30 to get my daily dose :)

  10. People have said, dont use multistorey, however our asda in weymouth recently had one built, and i ALWAYS go to the roof of it, maximum of 2 cars parked up there, i park all by myself and never seen a car move up there apart from mine :) thanks to the UK laziness of trying to get the closes spot is why this works for me
