  1. Fingers crossed for you then that it will pass the MOT emissions.
  2. How low did you let the fuel get before you gave it a little top up from Shell? Was the light on? Just wondering if maybe the filter picked up some crud from the bottom of the tank but since cleared itself after being driven & then properly fueled up. Also hope you're only using Super Unleaded.
  3. Not sure, ...noticed it happening a bit on here lately. Are you using Photobucket to host them or some other site? I use Photobucket which seems ok. Hope you liked my build thread.
  4. Great stuff Keyser, ...this is the proper way to modify a car. None of this bought it off the shelf bo**ocks.
  5. Love the GTR's and that's Adrian's white Zed on the ramps too, ...lot of cool cars there.

  7. You lucky bugger, ...she is gorgeous.
  8. Nice interesting looking Volvo classic. He must be pleased with that.
  9. Sounds good Dan. Look's very nice too.
  10. Dont forget to fill her with gas I won't.
  11. They did a great job Pritchard, ...looks excellent.
  12. I know that but as Zedd mentioned "fiber" is the American English version but if that's what you want to use as an excuse then fair enough. Anyway I'm off out now to check under the hood of my Zee. Going to clean my headers, check the rotors and also remove something from my trunk. Yee ha.
  13. Well smart a** Hugh it is constantly changing as both Saturn & our planet Earth are moving through space. But google states it is approximately 746 million miles away.
  14. It is pretty cold here still. Checked today late in the afternoon when I popped over to Newport Road & it was 5 degrees. Been zero and 1 degree for most of last week when I left for work in the mornings.
  15. Welcome aboard Richard. It's all personal taste regarding air filters/intakes and exhausts etc. You won't see major gains and will need an UpRev (remap) to see any power improvements. Basically to perk up the performance a little you're looking at: Good service. E.g: Replace oil/plugs etc if not already in good shape. Performance panel filter/air induction kit*. Plenum spacer (lot's of choice from: Horsham Developments spacer/Motordyne spacer/Wasso spacer etc) Example: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/71728-fsbatch-4-custom-anodised-plenum-spacers-170/ HFC (High Flow Cats) or De-Cats. Full Cat to back exhaust system. UpRev. *Most people regard the standard air box with an uprated performance panel filter as the better performance upgrade in comparison to an air induction kit although the latter obviously adds a nice bit of engine bling as well as increased noise in most cases. Also if you stick with the standard air box have a look at the 2006 conversion kit: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/86240-new-batch-2006-airbox-conversion-kit-interest-list/ UpRev tuner (although there are others): http://www.h-dev.co.uk/index2.php?page=350z_mapping Two very good registered traders on here that can sort you out with basically anything you need for the Zed are Tarmac Sportz & the Cougar Store. The Cougar Store: http://cougarstore.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1&zenid=bcaa60565806895c2c0f2d2ff1b32aee Tarmac Sportz: http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/nissan-350z.aspx Both are in the traders section on here ( http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/93-professional-traders/ ) as well as a whole host of other excellent traders. Anymore questions just ask.
  16. If you have some interior trim removal tools it might make it a bit easier so you can lift the back up enough to get some fingers under for a good grip. Here's a good guide in case you're following a different one: http://liljerk.morpheus.net/350Z/dash_removal/ Maybe double check you've undone all the screws as Zedd mentioned.
  17. Fibre* It's in your signature btw ("Tarmac Sportz carbon fiber diffusers"). Everybody makes mistakes.
  18. Good progress then Andy, ...you'll be finished by, what, next weekend?!
  19. ^^ Look's good. ...And yes, washed mine today. Under the arches, behind the fuel filler flap, rear exhaust box and jammed my hands between the spokes of my alloys to get all the way around the alloys inside edge. So clean as a whistle for at least one day.
  20. Yea I'll solve one at a time first í ½í¸„í ½í± My guess is the white part is the non return valve ? Yes you're right that's it. Let us know how you get on.
  21. Obviously without hearing it the noise could be anything but, ...it could be the "clicking axle fault" that quite a few 350's have suffered with. It is a fairly easy fix though from what I've read. Never had that issue myself but here are some threads related to what I'm talking about. Have a read & see what you think.

  22. Very cool cars.
  23. Very cool Ian. Hope he gets it fitted in something better than a boat. Just want to see what it could do on a road vehicle.
