Afternoon all So my good pal today has just picked up his new 3dr Audi S1, subsequently now thinks he'll show my 350z the tail in a straight line at any speed and to be fair on paper the specs are incredibly similar for both cars. Anyone driven or had a play with one and come unstuck against the hot hatch? PFA

You will eff up the engine running if you do it wrong

Sounds amazing with the the exhaust

My few mainly of the late comers to the stand and other Zeds at the show

Pull the plugs and replace if needed. Reset the ecu (warm engine), clear the lot and start from scratch - throttle body, pedal sensor, idle control valve resets all in order.

Looks delicious

So so strange to think Porsche stuck with a DMF for the latest 991.2 GT3 instead of going solid for this tyre of car....

Pretty much all the performance based UK motoring magazines have featured the new Porsche 911 GT3 4.0 this week on track - yes a pretty incredible car to still have number plates. I've seen them all but wanted to know which car channel/journalists​ are we loyal too and why? Evo Pistonheads DRIVETRIBE *the new kid AutoExpress AutoCar Carfection Aside from the above, personally I tend to lean to AutoExpress these days for Steve Sutcliffe.

Phew, good to know at least. Good video either way.....

Are they really that good? I want to drive a 911 at least once, as years and years they've been known as THE sports car to have.

Does it go into gear ok when engine is off and not using the clutch?

With mine changing from that particular Shell 5w30 (AG spec designed for a 1.3 CDTi Vaxuhall combo and possibly not the best for a VQ35) the move to Motul 8100 5w30 reduced the warm pressure effectively freeing up some power and response. Choice of oil filter also can have an effect on oil pressure too. If you have a vacuum leak post tb, your mpg would be shocking even on a run.

Worth it for the noise alone

I take it were looking at the setup from the bulk head once fitted?

Clever dude right there, can't wait for the first start up video

How did the noise lessen over uneven ground when applying the brake? Good result on the fix though.

Amazing machine

^ where's the unlike button for this post...................

Id aim for a late DE 350z for this budget and that way you possibly dont need to spend the lot either (tax and insurance needed from the get go) IMO the extra paid in tax year in year out isnt worth it for the 06 model, i dont hit the rev limit every day nor do i feel the need to with the DE extra low down lb-ft I rarely have a drink in the car to which id use the facelift door cup holders either *early models have one on the dash anyways. Lamps on the 06 model are nicer than that of the early model, however interchangeable anyways. Also imo the DE from bumper is cleaner looking than the facelift ones. Try and get one thats had recent tyres, brakes, clutch and exhaust as i did and thats £1000's worth that you then wont have to find anytime soon. When i bought mine in Sept 15 i had a budget of 9k and still went for a grey 05' model and its been bliss. Missed out on a black GT4, however with my ocd that was probably for the best

Whatever you do get oil with the right viscosity index, not just the right grade ie 5w30. I put the below in a few months ago and on first drive the car felt noticeably slower and warm idle pressure was up about 8-10psi. Fortnight later and it was swapped out for Motul 8100 5W-30 and the car feels back to normal.

Nice P11 GT

Sunday gone they had tones of trade stands at Silverstone, Donnington & Combe are much the same irrc its only Japfest Rock which seems to lack on the trade stand front.
