  1. Carbon slam panel , engine covers and carbon dipped strut braces engine and interior would be nice
  2. Any oil provided it meets the specification is fine
  3. Still for sale . Happy to keep back the diff bushes and diff cover and knock £250 off .
  4. Still something wrong compared to this tool http://www.pcpcal.co.uk/
  5. I wouldnt think there is a hard and fast rule , we had a 350 hr in with normal pressure but gaskets failing but this had over 40psi at hot idle
  6. something very wrong with your maths there
  7. On my 2012 car I'm going to install a warning buzzer that automatically comes in below 30psi , easy to knock up and should cost less than £20 all in , I dont want any more gauges on show myself

    New GTR

    Dont like paddles on the wheel to be honest , my daily has that and i prefer the 370 ones , although they could be bigger , who shifts mid corner anyhow I'm planning to get one of these next year unless the price gets silly
  9. Its no different to a loan, the car still isnt yours until its paid off
  10. We have both our DD cars on pcp, always used to be a cash buyer and its tempting when there is so little return on savings but the sweeteners with pcp can be pretty attractive ie 0% apr, free servicing etc We tend to keep our daily drivers 5 or 6 years , what the car is worth at the end of 3 years is pointless its the same as any finance deal , ie what is the cost of credit ? If you buy a car with a HP loan , with cash or with pcp it will be worth the same after three years
  11. I had high flow intakes, drop in filters and a catback on my 370z when I had it mapped (Uprev) here , last week a bog stock 370 made 1 hp more on our dyno after the Uprev . Mine sounds much better though
  12. Making any more 370z ones Rick ? Car change beckons and there is no way they are coming off !
  13. The arches are already folded on the 370
  14. I'd be interested in one , maybe if a few of us groupled together it would be worthwhile

    Oil Velocity

    Only the quickest people use velocity
  16. If the ecu thinks the air temp is that hot it might run a bit poorly . Has to be worth a try
  17. Its boils down to matic s being a synthetic oil and the matic c/d/j being part sythetic. I'll add the castrol products name later and link a useful US thread i found
  18. I've recently done a lot of research here, the premium stuff that Eurocarparts sell is suitable for the 350z, for the 370 (Matic S) there are a few - the Motul one (I pointed out to Opie that is was suitable after being told they didn't do any) . I contacted Castrol direct , they do do a suitable fluid but its not widely available , it is cheaper than the genuine one which is ludicrous as you pointed out and I have no doubt its made by Castrol. 350z fluid - http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-accessories/engine-oils-and-car-fluids/car-tranmission-oils/automatic-transmission-fluids/?522776105&0&cc5_869
  19. Not for the auto it isnt , it also works on wet grass and gravel;) The differences between the GT Edition and the previous models is well documented, whether those changes are important to a potential owner is down to personal preference Exclusivity is a bit misleading though since Nissan love their parts bin specials dressed up as some celebration of an important event and building identical models is easy for a quiet production line Personally I wanted a white auto , would have had Le Man blue if I could have found one though, but the reversing camera is nice and I prefer the darker alloys
  20. Is this premier products ? i am having the same problem with them
  21. I'm not aware of any insurer that supports Nitrous on road cars any more I had mine with Equity red star through A plan , a mate of mine was through Flux but not sure which company
  22. Make sure they have stock , I ordered some Teins recently for a 350z customer and lead times were horrific, think it was late May
  23. No the emissions should be fine if you get the cats hot enough
