  1. Real nice work and makes a big difference having clear lens. I would recommend clear coating or clear wrapping to maintain the look!!
  2. It's that time of year again. Routine oil and filter change, she also was in need of front discs and pads as Silverstone had permanently hurt the old set up. Mileage 84272 Thought it made sense to combine jobs, time to run up the engine from cold and draining the old oil allowed for partial replacement of the brakes. Not only did I again lower the O/S of the car to aid with oil drainage, but purged out the old oil by pouring in fresh oil with the sump plug removed. Yes this felt very odd, but worked as it help push the old stuff out as seen below. Magnetic sump plug found practical nothing, which I guess is a good thing. First time round after 12 months found swarf, but makes sense that it wouldn't so much there after on a maintained engine. Then a couple of weeks ago, the forums local legend @350Butcher hooked me up with replacing the compression arms. Went with the Moog option from Torqen. The N/S although didn't look terrible nor would cause concern during an MOT, over uneven surfaces made a right racket. Now feeling, sounding and braking spot on again.
  3. These are great if the zed isn't a 365 daily driver https://www.amazon.co.uk/CTEK-MXS-5-0-Reconditions-Motorcycle/dp/B00FC42HAA
  4. Real nice car pal and don't worry about those two above. I really like the exterior styling and at a glance looks like an Advan sponsored car!!! Any exhaust sound clips or track time vids? Donington is the best track I've had the 350z on, loved it.
  5. I've cleaned mine and don't believe you can clean it out fully without moving the throttle butterfly. Problems folks have is carrying out the reset procedure afterwards on a cold engine, that just won't work for obvious reasons. Warmed engine, I disconnected the battery for 30mins then began to clean out. Reconnect battery and began all three resets *engine still warm. That was just the way I did mine.
  6. Great result and welkom to the forum
  7. Magic mate, excited isn't close to conveying ones emotion. Is it march yet?......
  8. Can't want to have a nose round when I pop by soon
  9. Folks with a 06+ could buy a pair, then sell their Nissan ones and make money whilst enjoying a fresh new look
  10. I personally do use the steering controls and love the look of the OE wheel, so went with the retrimmed option in alcantra
  11. Every car I've ever own and modified, I've changed the steering wheel for something more sporty
  12. Pretty sure 5th is a better 1:1 ratio for the transmission. I'm not entirely sure what effect gear choice has on dyno pulls lb-ft figures
  13. A Class copy front and rear......
  14. Reads as a 4th gear pull also, irrc 5th is the preferred gear for Dyno runs?....
  15. Made a welcome change not having to do a night wash. Bilt Hamber Auto Foam 10:1 pre wash Pro-Kleen snow foam *lime Agitate wheel faces and barrels Power rinse, arches and underside 2 bucket wash with CarChem car shampoo Re washed wheels with mf mitt Cleaned tyres, arches & tail pipes Open hose rinse Drying towel bodywork and wheels Autoglym Rubber Plus on tyres All to keep the winter grime at bay!!
  16. oh no.... pretty sure one car featured twice
