With a 75 or 100 shot of nos it will I agree it looks a bit busy but they are all vents and probably needed for improved airflow and I presume the round one is for cooling too. The problem is you dont really need increased airflow on a std engine. Best of luck whacking 100hp of gas on a stock gearbox , cold air intakes would actually be quite beneficial , they get pretty hot under the bonnet

You have one extra Reading above , 5 hours work is a cracking pace on a 370z

Wont have anything like 400hp of course

Verstappen will already be in the best car for 2017

He has probably driven the 2017 Mercedes

Google PC Specialist problems before you use them , I've only ever heard bad things about them

Pretty much what i have , i bought mine from Dino pc where we also bought my sons gaming pc some years back , i have the OS on a SSD and then keep everything else on HDD's I have a GTX 980ti gpu in mine and can run most things on max settings unless they are poorly optimised , my son has a 1080 card in his but the difference at the moment isnt that much , in time I suspect it will become more apparent http://www.dinopc.com/shop/pc/home.asp

Think it was 15 that the 370z's got DRL's and like the Nismo they are standalone ones in the bumper Some people have put led's in the headlamp but for what the light units cost its a brave person that does it

Pop up headlights were cool when you had to have glass lenses and large units , thats not been the case for years now though

Hi Rich did you not get your gearbox upgraded? I had an uprated gearbox yes but mine was an auto , not sure of anyone doing the 370z manuals but they cope with decent power so thats not whats killed it

Sheddon seemed to soldier on with his ok this year

Check it NOW! . it could be low they might not have tightened a bleed nipple correctly

Definitely doesn't do it at all when stationary ? Have we ruled out engine ?

Gutted to hear this Dont think this is that uncommon on 370z's although yours is pretty new cars that have had CSC issues do seem to be much more likely to see gearbox failures down the line, I have seen and heard of a few now Not sure you can do anything moving forwards

The Supra MkIV has one of the best looking dash setups ever IMO and that was out around the same time. I find the Supra to be dated inside as well , hardly surprising though that cars designed 30+ years ago have dated though

Many people think the final drive is included as part of the diff and must be changed but whilst they are bolted together you can replace either independently (Not suggesting any confusion here but its worth pointing out) I doubt you will see a great deal of difference in times on the drag strip if changing your gearing , a decent diff will make a significant difference to your 60ft and ET though

I have to say 370z seats arent that comfy for the fuller figured man

Two crap tyres vs one good one is basically the decision. Diff imo , the difference in the way that my 370z launched on the drag strip between the standard VLSD and a quaife was night and day even with the same tyres , MPSS and no burnout .

I like the old and new , but jeesus have you seen the price that a GOOD one goes for nowadays ? Like £50-£80k , they arent "that" special imo I did hear that there were a load of them on the docks waiting to be loaded when the tsunami struck a few years back which has helped the price a bit

its usually three part kit , white primer, base and then the pearl laquer

Had no problem getting after market ones on ebay or here https://www.paints4u.com/AutoColours.aspx?ProductID=6930 Its code QAB not QM1 thats the solid white

Very easy to loosen the crank pulley bolt if you lock the fly (special tool) However if you do not have the tool then the breaker bar trick always works 100% of the time.. The fly moving isnt the issue the 100ft lbs plus torque is , however the tool is very useful when tightening the bolt correctly

Turbos ball park £10-£12k with forged engine getting someone else to do it , supercharging cheaper maybe £5k-£7k

How many times do you see an aggressively driven FWD car lifting a rear wheel on high speed corners? Now imagine if that car had a wing pushing the rear downwards, how much better balanced would it be? Hatch, coupe, saloon, doesn't matter: What does matter is the angle and location of the wing, but that's equally true for RWD cars. With FWD you're balancing the vehicle, as opposed to pushing the rear down for grip onto the driven wheels with RWD. If you're cornering at 100mph airflow doesn't give a hoot what wheels are driven, it only cares about playing silly buggers with dynamics. If you found that you couldn't steer at that speed, then something was massively wrong with your setup. BTCC alone proves this: <snip> Don't know about you but I haven't driven a lot of touring cars on tracks lately. Again, they have complimenting front (and more importantly underbody) aero. But yeh, I'm not gonna argue further, I know you have a point, I have mine, all I'm saying is don't put a big gay wing on a stock Skoda Octavia and expect to still have any steering response or traction from the front wheels at 100mph. Not sure you do have a point at all , so a large wing reduces front grip and steering response on fwd cars but not rwd cars? What nonsense ! FWIW both my Octavia's I have owned had/have rear spoilers from the factory (and FWIW the record breaking 227mph Octavia also had a rear spoiler) yet have plenty of grip and steering at 100mph plus The new Civic Type R comes with a massive wing as stock

No , has to be Nissan i'm afraid , they dont do a kit you will need to strip it and check what parts are requiring replacement
