  1. Any chance of booking the area at the side of the main hall by the grass? Run the risk of the weather, but we do for every other show on the calendar.
  2. I had Tomei Poncams fitted to my Almera GTi SR20DE and these were a plug and play application, with gains throughout the rev range so it is possible to do. For a more track focused application, sacrificing low end for middle and top seems a given. Re the timing, I don't think you'd be making the power you are being a tooth out. However if you've read similar issue over the pond, it might be work a check. I doubt you'd gain any more knowledge from here than what Jez would have told you at the time sadly. However I'd personally look towards fueling as no doubt the fuel pump and injectors will be working very hard to keep up.
  3. I'd say the cams are bleeding off the compression, so I'm surprised to see the C8's noted as suitable for stock bottom end. Seems higher comp pistons are need to pull back what's been lost.
  4. It use to get busy real early as parking was at a premium, since then they've improved the set up ie x3 times as much so it fills up slower. Plus I think folks know they can arrive later in the morning, which works for everyone.
  5. Are you still using the stock fuel pump? If so fueling at top end may be at its limit.
  6. No worries Cal ask away, no not mapped hence the O2 spacers. Been over 2 weeks with a fair amount of driving and no eml as yet, fingers crossed it'll remain so. Yeah soaked the wrapped and damp installed which allows for better fitment and less shards. Heat cycled the ceramic and so far still looks great. Also if anyone was interested, I used 15m of wrap to do the below
  7. Few Pro photos of mine at the weekend from Japanese Performance Show in Stoneleigh.
  8. Hi, alot of 350z aren't daily drivers so mileage for some can tot up real slow. MOT history online will validate mileage along with service history. 7k is a very nice budget and should land you a tidy 350z be it a low mileage DE or higher mileage HR.
  9. Nice one @14N for arranging the gig for us, definitely again out grown our plot mind so more spaced needed for 2020
  10. We've had a rogue Ford Focus ST @Andy_Muxlow at a Mids Meet before now, a IS F will be no issue
  11. Thank you Ben, the 350z does wear 19's well. In pictures the wheels look bigger than in real life somehow. I remember last year when I first put them on, they looked massive and over the next few days appeared smaller as I got use to the new look. '19's for Show, 18's for Go'
  12. Cheers pal - Very nice and totally reversible too, crazy those haven't sold yet.
  13. That's an unbelievably good price for repair and paint.
  14. Been contemplating a colour change for my wheels but also really like the hyper silver finish. Had some surplus headlamp tint so thought what's the worst that could happen. Have no idea about longevity, however was keen not wrap over an edge and used heat to help seal the edges. Began to create a template using detailers masking tape and transfering this to card. Being translucent it took on the hyper silver gloss and shade shifting appearance, I can't even begin to describe the colour. Spokes did, but hhmmm looks unfinished. Proceeded to do the centre and found one of the kids snack bowl to be the perfect size Getting there but the inner rim seemed easy enough, so made a template for these too. My skill level wouldn't stretch to do the rest of the visible spokes sadly. New custom centre caps as these were blank previously. And the finished result half expecting bits to fly off the first time I take to the motorway.
  15. Cheers Andy, pretty chuffed with how it sounds, performs and looks now. The wheel and tyre combo for me is perfect. Not seen another Zed like it either which is good.
  16. Cheers matey, it's was a good session and left at room temperature to cure for 3 days - not intentional as the weather has been rubbish recently to be swapping wheels and spacers over. Kiwami sealant doing its thing and hopefully provides a couple months of protection.
