  1. What do we reckon to the sound of this lil bad boy?

  3. Cheers pal, thank you - yes a rated upgrade in my mind for sure, no regrets. Below shows the PCV valve location.............. Japfest 2016 saw my first ever venture on track in my own car, being Silverstone i thought was an excellent introduction as its vast (17m width) and incredibly flat. That and only 3rd, 4th and 5th gears being needed the whole way round. Being April not only did we have rain that morning but a tiny bit of snow also. To say i was nervous was an understatement with seeing the aftermath of 'that' black Supra going off a grass verge on the way there and a fellow members black 350z slamming into the wall on the old pit straight on the first flying lap didn't help either - 70% felt enough for me that day. Thoroughly enjoyed it though and going out on track with my little brother felt amazing. He watched my blind spots thus allowing me to focus straight ahead. Car felt great during the brave moments i did use a bit of speed, changed direction very well, good brakes too. No complaints as the car wasn't holding me back, i was holding the car back. Washed and dried and took these the following day at work. Some ol timers having a nose at MFN Oh yeah, bonnet lifters were fitted also plus some nice pictures from Sally. Time for a new air filter, as a touch more orange was needed. Spare MAF would undergo adjustment LOL Looked for the biggest filter i could find that would fill the void Plenty big
  4. Sounds like my grandad clearing his throat lol
  5. I'm happy in the knowledge the 350z can track similar to a DC5 and FD2 type r
  6. Yes but they sound like most other modern 2lt turbo, where as the VQ sounds amazing
  7. Cheers lads Mine now seems to be all good and the fault hasn't come back since fixing the split vac pipe * re route oil catch can hose
  8. Its ok saying to put up with the CEL light, however what if the ecu is showing the CEL for a separate issue that you then ignore?
  9. Costs of a new F355 compared to a 488 GTB is a 100k difference.............. high end marques go up, hell a mid spec Golf now cost over 25k
  10. Why would it affect warm start and not cold?
  11. I like the look and seems practical on the door switch surrounds, but I think a finish so reflective on the upper part of the dash would awful in the daytime
  12. What size are the bushes needed for a UK 350z? *UK spec
  13. My misfire was down to a split vac hose causing the ecu to majorly overfuel resulting in a misfire.
  14. In, let's get a list going OP, times and meet spot
  15. ^ yeah back to Nissan OE cats............ I would as first action buy some O2 spacers for the sensors
  16. Are you not happy with how they look now?.......
  17. That bolt is removed when fitting wheel spacers too, dont sweat it.
  18. Plug a code reader in and see what's what pal.
  19. Its catching Cougar Store visit for supply and fit differential poly bushes from Whiteline as i noticed mine has started to leak. Not desperately in need of replacement however with wanting to go on track later on in the year, its something that's only going to get worst with the abuse. Once fitted I did make a noticeable difference which i was pleasantly surprised about. Previously if you launched the car to light up the rears *did once before, i would get wheel hope which felt pants and made a right racket too - yuk. On/off throttle in comparison before felt like the engine was being turned on when you touched the gas. Now the rears spin up cleanly with hardly any axle tramp at all, throttle pick up is very crisp and adds to the driving experience of the car - worth every £££.
  20. Nice strong figure, I'd be pleased with that Go VQ35DE
  21. Lad in the building next to us a couple winters back got stuck in his new 3 series on the slight incline outside our work. After a few minutes of trying to carry on without success, he jumped out and went to his boot looking rather smug. Pulls out some snow chain and began fitting these to the car, on the front axle and then tried to move off
