Im just going for acceleration for now really. The mods ive listed are supposed to be Pre-Remap as i dont want to be going for remaps after every mod, just get all the bits and do one remap, braking and handling can come before or after the 'remap' mods i guess. Call me naive but i thought the Brembos were meant to be plenty over-spec for any mods until you go FI, maybe then too? And handling i find is great i didnt think i would need to touch that either... Good tyres are a given, as are pads.

As far as i'm aware its just a trade of between acceleration and top speed/fuel economy. Standard is 3.5, so the 3.9 will shorten gear ratio for all gears, increase acceleration but reduce top speed and fuel economy for each gear. Means more gear changes too.... This is just what ive got from the forum so i could be wrong...

I like the sound of that Am i right in thinking that anything you lose off the top speed is still above the 155mph limit? Ah i see, that explains why people say to do the LSD at the same time then!

Hmm in Cornwall so will see what the nearest meet is i think haha You guys reckon the Jwt Flywheel + 3.9 final drive would make a good combo?

Right cheers for all the feedback, I will say my plan is to buy all the bits over a few months, and then just have a week of fitting it all, my usual guy is pretty reasonable on price and i'll give him a hand i expect so that should be ok for fitting only thing is i wouldn't want him to do the final drive in the gearbox, doubt he'll have the kit for it... I'll add on the Brake pads & Discs & fluid, and the ARBs, and the Powerflex Bush. I wont bother with damper unless i got the money kicking about and same goes for the pulleys. My clutch doesn't slip but does smell at high revs (think its clutch) also figured the Jwt package can all go in at same time Jwt flywheel is 14lbs rather than some which are only 8lbs, hoping it will be a bit of middle ground for the flywheel...? Not sure about headers, i did read they are a ball ache but if i'm gonna have out the clutch and gearbox may aswell try and do it then, sound reasonable? And as with your comments seem to be some mixed reviews on them, but they do look pretty Suspension i haven't got a clue about really haha :/ Also as for money obviously i don't want to be wasting it but i don't want to be scrimping too much either For the exhaust i'm thinking either the Magnaflow or the ARK Grip, don't want anything that'll make me sound like a scooby rollin round, more like a rally car on Dirt 2 Dan

Hi guys, First post since my intro post. Enjoyed the Z so far but now im starting a better paid job i think it's time i start making some changes Any suggestions or advice would be great, and she's an 05 276bhp, Gt Pack with ESP and Brembos, (LSD??) Intake - Jwt Plenum Spacer - Wasso \\Headers - Stillen HFCs - Berks Y/Cat Back - Magnaflow?? Clutch + Flywheel - Jwt Final Drive - Central 20 3.9 \\Lightweight Pulleys - Stillen \\Engine Damper - Stillen Remap Braided Brakes and Clutch Lines - HEL *Brake Pads - *Brake Discs - *ARBs - *Diff Bush - Powerflex Any other suggestions? Pre-remap or post-remap. I should add that only to do with performance not styling. Also on 62k so maybe bushings etc? Thanks all Dan

Already been told i look like a drug dealer in the Z haha, which i aint!

Awesome car not really found any problems at all yet, couple stone chips in paint is all. Windows steam up easy but seems to be a characteristic from what ive read. Also the ESP button, found stuff about TCS and VDC but ESP not so much, basically its the same as VDC which is better than TCS? Dan

It went well put down the deposit, pick her up wednesday, 7.25k in the end so i got a bit off Makes my previous cars seem so cheap and nasty haha

Cheers all for the welcome, apparently im not allowed to like them all haha. Bit of advice, the Z im looking at today is 05 plate, 54k, fsh and 12months mot. Trade price is about 5.2k and retail is 7.2k i think. He wants 8k for it, what you reckon i should be offering like 6.5k? Cheers Dan

Hi guys, Should be picking up a 350Z tomorrow, hopefully. Bit about me? I'm 21, work as an Electrical Engineer, studying a FdSc in Electrical & Electronic Engineering on day leave. Live down in Cornwall! Hobby used to be boxing, but cars, girlfriend and college took over (in that order). Going to be swapping from a 1990 MR2 Turbo to the 350Z, (insurance only £60 more) I have 5 years no claims too. Once i went Jap, i didn't go back. Previous cars: 1997 Peugeot 106, 1.1L (BHP?) 1995 Peugeot 205, 1.8L Diesel (59 BHP?) 1997 Toyota Celica GT, 2.0L (167BHP) 1995 Mitsubishi FTO (TipTronic), 2.0L (170BHP) 1990 Toyota MR2 Turbo, 2.0L (220BHP) So yeah, I've accumulated my no claims and been slowly working my way up the power ladder. Now the MR2 is a really nice car and should be easy to tune to 300BHP before hitting serious £££, but it feels its ages, all 23 years of them (older than me). I was going to have it as a project car to tune up etc, converted it to run on the Celica GT4 ST205 EFI system and ECU, to give allegedly up to 255BHP. Other than that mostly just small things. Then I was sitting there with coursework pouring out my ears, and other orifices, and decided that maybe I should get something reliable and already tuned, 350Z popped into my head, and never left since. So courtesy of finance, i shall be getting the 350Z.
