    Winter tyres

    Just a bump to ask if I should also drop the fronts to 235/40/19 if I'm going for the rears at 265/35/19. The reason is the rears will be 7mm less in diameter than stock. Should I also drop the fronts by a similarly amount so the car doesn't thibk my rears spinning faster and therefore I'm skidding? 235 in the front will drop my diameter by 8mm so it will be 1mm off
  3. Lol I've checked the American forums and apparently it's the ecu. The yanks get a 8 year warranty on the ecu so people have been getting them replaced. Apparently it's a technical service bulletin too but since not everyone can hear this frequency it's not a recall. How long is the warranty on our uk cars? I know standard is 3 years but if they have 8 years or 60k for ecu across the pond surely we must too?
  4. Nope. I had a look on American sites and it may be the ecu resistors. Sounds expensive!
  5. Hi all Does anyone else notice a very annoying high pitch tone when the car is on? I've tried to locate it but i can't. It seems to come in from my left ear so I thought it was the navigation system but I've turned that screen off. Or I thought it was the fuel pump but this tone is like a dog whistle type tone! Anyways please advise if anyone else has experienced this. I for jay to sit in my car and he also noticed it lol
  6. I've been told that mid silencers tend to attenuate the higher frequencies so will make the exhaust note raspier. is this your experience? I'm considering taking out my mid silencers and maybe a berks hfc. how much did you pay to get your silencer chopped out? thanks p.s a video would be much appreciated. as you said the stock note is good- just too quiet. i feel we need some videos of stock with HFC, stock with delete back box and stock without mid silencer to add to the library of videos. just means people have an option not to spend £1000 on an exhaust! as for uploading it, use the tapatalk app- you can upload v easily in that
  7. sipar get a video up! I'm thinking of stock exhaust with hfc and mid silencer removed. never heard anything like this before so I'm stabbing in the dark here!

    Has Anyone?

    Hey, see the video you have put up, how does the actual sound compare in real life? is it much louder, is it deeper, raspier etc. a lot of the noise we hear on a vid is dependent on the mic pick up. that video doesn't seem too loud but my brains telling me its loud as hell since you only have mid silencers! once thing I've been advised is to remove mid silencer and get a berks hfc and leave stock back box. so many options!
  9. Yes. I got some advice from tophooker which was ace and also front disks and pads have been replaced and wobbles gone. Happy days

    Has Anyone?

    Anyone managed to get any videos up of stock with berks or a back box delete?
  11. Bugger. You would have thought he person he sold the moulds to would offer these now lol otherwise they have just paid and not really had a return on their investment
  12. Hey I noticed a few years ago scottsoulby arranged a group but on cf covers for the b pillars? I can't see him in anymore but they were £40 for both. Much cheaper than other places. Does anyone know where he got them from and what was the quality like? Ideally this qu should go in the general discussion since a lot of the 350z owners bought them but I can't seem to post there for some reason? Thanks
  13. hey car looks good so far! how are the carbon fibre covers compared to the wrap? I'm looking to get mine done too and looked a hydrodriping or carbon skinning them
  14. add me-- Gstraw- Le Mans blue 370z
  15. where is he getting the other kit from? I'm weary of fiberglass kits breaking so easilyelse i would have bought mine by now :s
  16. I have a similar issue when playing with aux in a 2009 car but when I wiggle the cable it works okay. Think the aux port needs replaced
  17. Any chance this can work on a 09?
  18. Nice! What spacer size and type of springs you going for? 25mm all around and eibachs?

    Hmm thing is I can get 265 rubber for less than half the price of 275! :s

    Winter tyres

    Great. Can I run narrower rubber? Better for winter and also tyres are cheaper in 265:35/19 instead if 275/35/19. I'm 7mm smaller on diameter. If I get 265 on rear do I need to get one size smaller on front also? Stock fronts are 245/40/19 and 236/35/19 are 8mm shorter on diameter so more In line with the rear height
  21. I've got 19 inch bud
  22. lol Hensh have you wrapped your front in clear wrap yet? I spoke with rt performance and he said expect to respray and full your amuse every year because it's made of fiberglass! Wtf. Not looking forward to the cost of that. I want to put some helicopter tape on the leading edge if I get this kit. Stone chips are okay but pieces if fiberglass flying off when cracked are definitely not okay!
  23. I'm can't seem to get in touch with funky tyres. Tyre leader .co.uk has next best price
  24. Space cadet- do you have a video of this? It might be something I'll consider
  25. Any links on where to get this xyz pipe or what it is? I'm looking to get a nice exhaust tone but don't want any cabin drone at motorway speeds
