People probably think it's actually fast ^^ That or they think it's a low flying plane so best to avoid.

No probs. Link for you if you want new although try zmanalex first: http://www.clarkmotorsport.co.uk/parts/Boot-Spring-Lift/84415-CD71A

Maybe it's just the picture but that disc look's pretty much f**ked. Seems to have a massive lip on it & scored to buggery. If you run your fingers over it is it scored then or smooth still? If it was me I'd definitely be considering some Ferodo DS2500 pads (or similar) and some nice new upgrade discs.

...and not just the pressure washer either. I thought you copied me on the supercharger No way I started planning way before you, ...maybe.

My previous jet washer was a Halfords own brand 150hp, ...that lasted through 7 years of weekly car washes and the occasional patio/driveway wash. Not bad for a fairly cheap piece of equipment (£130 odd when I got it).

...and not just the pressure washer either.

When you press the boot release button the boot should pop open an inch or two allowing you to then open it up using your hand with the boot struts then taking over from you and lifting the boot up the remaining way & holding it open. If the boot lid is dropping & not able to stay up then you need new boot struts (could try removing the boot weight first though to see if that helps cure the problem). Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/65248-how-to-weight-reduction-fix-boot-pop-up/ If when you press the boot release button the boot does not pop up high enough & you have to press the boot release again then you need to either do the "penny trick" or replace the boot poppers for new ones. Penny trick link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/35706-the-penny-trick/ New boot poppers: http://www.clarkmotorsport.co.uk/parts/Boot-Spring-Lift/84415-CD71A Hope that helps.

Look's fantastic. You should be proud of that.

I have a Karcher K2 which is more than up to the job of my weekly car washes. More info here about it & the snow foam gun I bought to go with it. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/84321-what-a-difference-a-snow-foam-gun-can-make/ Anyway you didn't mention your budget so if you don't want to spend megga bucks then the same set up as me will be more than enough for doing the weekly car wash and occasional patio clean imo.

I'm sure those four door Porsches also do what Porsche intended which was to sell car's to people who for one reason or another needed or wanted four doors. I'd rather one of those four door Porsches than a *insert generic Ford/Fiat/Vauxhall etc* four door any day.

...And I was all ready for a global cimate change conversation. Hope you get to the bottom of your problem Matt.

That's what I said. Ok you knew you where right and I just believed I was right but still...

I'm not all that clued up on my plugs but I do believe they differ between the 2003-2006 DE and the HR engine. This is what Horsham Developments have listed for the HR Zed (Nissan recommended apparently): http://www.h-dev.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=78_169_293_1418&products_id=25465 Hope that helps.

I literally just had the same BS email today as well. Deleted it straight away. Had a really good one the other week on my work email saying that we had been selected to help oversee & supply goods for the rebuilding of Libya. Not sure how long it would take to rebuild Libya via 3D printing & vacuum casting though so I deleted it.

You promise this time, Look forward to the pics after all the fitting has been done.

Great pictures but can't help but think those bars on the front of that Ute might just be overkill.

^^ ...Or Clark Motorsport.

+1. Needs a thread title edit.

Weren't you selling the Zed nowhereboy?! New alloys will look good I'm sure but can't keep up with whether you're selling or keeping this car.

Makes sense to get it all done if you can, ...I just set myself the goal of getting the car done by a certain date so was kind of forcing myself to get everything I could get done within a certain timescale. You should record your car starting up next time and put it on Youtube, ...that's a million hit video if you can get it to sound like Chewbacca. This guys trying... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHd18VTg7_4

I know ChrisB did his clutch/flywheel but I never did (maybe you're thinking of his build ). When I did my build I really couldn't afford to go that bit further and do the clutch/flywheel so had to risk it. Still putting the power down nicely though although no clutch lasts forever so it's inevitable I'll have to change it at some point.

Cool mate and will be very interested to see how you find that clutch/flywheel set up. Still on my original so have my fingers crossed each day that today isn't going to be the day that 400+Bhp kills it.

Cars like this and other perceived fast/sporty/tuned/expensive cars will always be magnets for w**kers. If they're not trying to race you from every traffic light set they're tailgating you and trying to park inside your boot. Just stick to the speed limit or what speed you're happy driving at and f**k them. I usually flip my rear view mirror upwards so I can't see them anymore, ...problem gone.

Nice one Amy.
