  1. Oddly in standard trim, the M135i e82 is slower around the Nurburgring than the 350z (287ps)
  2. Ive booked the 10:30am slot on the 27th Jan, looking forward to it and meeting fellow Zed owners
  3. Nistune requires a board to be soldiered into the ECU where as the UPREV is just a reflash via the OBD connector so no hardware needs buying or fitting. I know, bet there's not much call for Nistune these days for the older style ecu'd cars 200sx, Pulsar DET etc.
  4. Do you mean 350z RevUp engine Mark?....... Is it possible and do you find much need/gains in raising the redline rpm via remap on the VQ35's
  5. I know what you mean, to remap my old 99' Almera GTi via Nistune @ Abbey would have been £650 a few years back
  6. Also Severn Valley Motorsport in Telford can carry out all hardware matter for us too.
  7. I would suggest calling Jez @ HDev to confirm your interest and what your after. Say all ten spots have been accounted for via the forum at present, however would it be possible to be the 11th member and come down on a separate date pending any drop outs. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/113392-350z-uprev-group-buy-at-h-dev-proposed-feb-2017/
  8. We've confirmed double the attendees needed to achieve a discount of 15%, any chance of a further 5% for 10/11 members?
  9. Yeah boi looking sharp!! Glad the issues were sorted without too much bother. Good job you not lowered for that ramp eek PS I've read with the coated discs it's advised after so many miles to remove the pads and clean up the surfaces as they become contaimated.
  10. I'm in Brum too *Sheldon. For that bits and fitting I'd recommend Cougar Store 135 Queens Rd Leicester LE2 3FL Then for the mapping we have a group buy with HDev coming up you might be allowed to tag onto.

    Spacers

    To be fair most folks fit spacers and keep them on regardless of the possibility they've made their car handle worst. Again how a car handles is down to personal preference. Also have a look at the forum 'picture of the day' thread and tell me how many pictures you find of the interior......

    Spacers

    "Handling" for me is something very subjective. Ie some love the way a standard S2000 handles, some hate it. Slightly wider tracker can improve feel and grip, which promotes confidence and more enjoyment. Don't read into theory as one rule doesn't cover all vehicles, with different steering and suspension set ups. 99.9% of the time when we see our cars it's stationary and spacers help the look of the Zed no end, worth it for this alone imho.
  13. Park up in neutral, hold the brake and rev the engine to find out.
  14. Don't make me feel bad lol first day back to work, Z33 it is - the long way.

    Spacers

    ^ care to prove the car will handle worst? Many sports cars hot versions have increased track width to further improve grip and handling.
  16. Ahh I see, I gave a jump start this morning with the daily and yep loads of condensation in the engine bay too. Perfectly normal then.

    Spacers

    Fitting 20mm spacers to me is no different to selecting aftermarket rims with an offset ET15 to a ET35...... I have a 15/20mm setup, been on track twice this year with now issues.
  18. Had a quick search, but found nothing relating. Had some time over the holiday period to upgrade my pcv hoses and was surprised to find the engine bay dripping with water. Together with the underside of the bonnet dripping wet too. Granted I haven't used the car for a fortnight, but still wouldn't expect that. This didn't happen last winter, however it was nowhere near as cold here in the West Midlands. So apart from "drive the car more comments" is this common and anything to do with the ally bonnet?
