GT Driver

Were you in Zandvoort for the Japfest?

Not sure how much damage you've done, but if the car is not moving engaged in 1st then as a start the entire clutch friction surface has been demolished!

Never done it to be honest .. I sit quite far back so my elbow isn't anywhere near the hazard

I reckon a lot of it is due to my seating position, I'm not particularly very tall (6ft) but I would the seat is about 2-3 inches forward than normal, it's my preferred position for steering control.

It ain't a major problem by all means!

if your driving the zed correctly your need both hands on the wheel

Both hands are on the wheel. If you think that you cannot bend your elbow and not have your hand on the steering wheel then your seating position is too far back or else you have small arms.

I don't have this problem. Do you have especially knobbly elbows?

Not particularly, LOL!

The Zed needs a proper elbow rest, it is a GT car after all.

Long journeys - motorway cruising - left elbow accidentally pressing the hazard lights button in the centre console when resting your arm?

Very annoying.. and cars behind me on the motorway must think I've an electrical problem with my hazards sometimes triggering sporadically! I'd like an elbow rest me thinks

Re the LCD information 'gauge' that displays dte, temperature, mpg etc, there are obviously two buttons - one to cycle through the different displays (on top) and one to reset information such as mpg and trip meter (right below it)- if you hold the top button for 2 seconds it brings you back to clock - save you having to scroll through all the options!

I'm a hoor for the hashtag 350z search!

I have a Sony HDR AS-10 action cam in my Zed. It has a 'steadyshot' function which eliminates nearly all the shake. Only downside is that for the steadyshot to be on, the field of view is reduced from 170 degrees to 120 degrees.

Expressing mild interest. Wanted to go to this year but left it too late!

Very tempted!

My current and second Zed is on it's original clutch, 70.6k miles... bite point is high though. I'll be in touch again CS for my second 350z clutch and flywheel purchase

Have you any pictures of these tarmac?

Edit, I've a picture from last month of my own Zed (pre-facelift) and delz0r's '08 HR facelift. Reflectors for comparison

I've watched that video a few times, have yet to do it.

Can somebody explain the engine management light issue- will this warning light always be triggered regardless if there is a bung or for the sensors or not?

Also, does the car begin to run roughly after a while without any remaps?

Thanks CS!

I'd say the Milltek system would fit the bill, it's the one we supply for anyone wanting to keep the sound just above the OEM...

+1 Would have to be the Miltek

Thanks for quick response!

There are 2 Miltek options - Res and Non-Res, I'm not sure what the difference is between these in terms of sound?

New MTEC Black Edition grooved discs fitted:

Any opinions on what aftermarket exhaust is most similar (or not that different from) to the OEM exhaust sound? I really like the tone of the OEM exhaust but I just wish it was a bit louder.

Any input welcome

Thanks Attak Z

Tried searching for the answer on line- does anyone know what the difference is (in litres) between the max and min mark on the oil dipstick? (DE engine).

The difference on my old Alfa was about 1 litre from max to min- I assume it varies across different manufacturers and models.

Thanks

Decats are sold. Can probably lock this thread mods.

Nothing worse than a summons. I was called into the central criminal court back in 2011 as a state prosecution witness to a fatal stabbing... thing is I didn't even see the incident I was just passing (in my opel corsa 1.2 GSI ) and stopped to help... 2 days in court and having to get up on the stand. Not very enjoyable.

I have those touring wheels and I fall into the minority that prefers them over the rays.

 

They look great once the car is lowered and wearing spacers. Still doesn't stop me wanting rota grids tho

They do look far better than standard wheels. When I bought my Z, Rays were high on the list of desirable features.

Rays over standards easily, lovely looking wheels! I've got a set on eBay but bugger me don't people ask stupid questions lol.

I didn't think the standard GT wheels looked bad at all. They do look great and completely agree with you nowhereboy they would look great with the car lowered and with spacers. I had the GT wheels on my first Zed and always said I wanted the Rays on my next!

She didn't look bad on standard GTs at all

What does is for me with the Rays is 1) The increased caliper exposure to show off the beautiful brembos (and soon black edition grooved discs, 2) the curving of the spokes and dimples in them look fantastic 3) the weight reduction looking at 20kgs all round. Might not seem like much but it every little helps.

A set of 25mm spacers are in order for the Rays I think.

I'm on my second one in the past 12 months!

LOL! I was like "wait a minute he never said anything about closing down when I was pm'ing about brake pads!!"

Enjoy the week off

Looks loads better with the RAY'S. What are you plans for your old ones?

They are up for sale at the moment mate. They remain stacked in my bathroom until then lol

Never even heard of MPSS until now!

I'm running Falken 453s on the rear of mine. First 200 - 300 miles were pure dodge in the wet but they have improved a great deal since. Mediocre in the wet but predictable. Dry grip is decent for the price imo.
