As has been said, take it too a z specialist and get a map check done, as new high flows are circa £600 it's got to be the cheaper and more sensible option, just out of interest on the last mot where was it done? is it local to you? , you say the previous owner didn't have them fitted so he must have got a ticket on it surely?, a remap is circa £400 and the cel light is turned of for the lambda also the car is tuned to fuel correctly for all rev ranges and I'm told drives so much smoother and responsive, high flow cats are not a plug and play item the car must be mapped to get the full advertised benefit from them, like most things Z it aint cheap but bloody hell they make you smile.

Thanks for the replies. Probably not make the meet this time round but will see what happens in the future.

Are there any members up this way. Just looking for a Zed was a problem as there was none for sale up this way. They all seem to be for sale around the Manchester area and down towards and past London.

One question I have, does anyone know if there are any performance or Jap specialists up this way for servicing etc?

Mines been for sale for over a year and I'm in the Lincolnshire Wolds, not even a sniff of a sale, cars just sat in the garage on trickle charge, its such a shame because she's lovely.

still for sale......it's a shame for her to just sit in the garage

Still for sale !

hmmm didn't get it , added a couple and MOT info. 

looks fab, mine arrived yesterday, what did you use to smooth it in and what size nozzle did you use for the application ?, sorry for all the questions I've never attempted anything like this before.

Thanks

Finally got round to this, could do with a bit of tidy up but you can't tell unless you are looking for it and most importantly it has fixed the wind noise making the car a lot more pleasant to drive 

what sealant did you use ?, make etc

Tarmac Sportz High Flow Cats, Sports Cats, HFCs, Catalytic Converters  

Whatever you want to call them they are here and they maximize air flow to give your DE more power, our HFCs are a Euro 200 Cell Spiral Wound Metallic Substrate for maximum air flow and performance.

These HFCs have been tested at our local MOT station and passed emissions tests with flying colours from a cold start although we do recommend warming them up prior to having an MOT. This is standard practise with all HFCs.

You will notice an increase in noise when fitted to your car, they become especially lively around 3k revs, they can be fitted with forced induction vehicles however no warranty is provided and we would recommend decats.

Our HFCs come with an extra 02 sensor bung should you want to run wide band gauges, on average you should see gains of around 15bhp with HFCs, check out our power packages as well, Plenum spacer, panel filter and a set of HFCs will usually see around a 25bhp increase

PLEASE NOTE: As with all HFCs, there is a possibility that HFCs will bring up an Engine Management Light,

CEL Eliminators usually work but this is not always the case,

We recommend getting the car remapped after fitting to remove the light if the EML persists.

PLEASE NOTE: These will not fit the HR Engine, please see our other listing HERE

FITMENT

Nissan 350Z 2003-2006

Thanks guys that's put my mind at rest, I bought the extension so all good and the eyelets where my preferred connection method as when not in use the connection can hide in the battery compartment nice and neat. 

Hey up peeps, after reading many recommendations for the Ctek Trickle chargers I took the plunge and bought one, after a bit of a faff fitting it ( pesky Push Clips ) its now sat merrily reconditioning my nearly flat battery, my question is the bonnet position, not wishing to leave it wide open to let in critters of 4 or 8 leg varieties I've left it resting on the catch, is this ok ? 

what year is the car first registered ?

I am 62 disabled in the at risk group and I need to get my weekly shop but thanks to the ****ing morons across the country and in the press egging them on, I cant, there is no milk, no bread, no loo rolls etc etc

this country is populated by  selfish dick heads

made by smoothline in the USA https://www.smoothline.com/nissan-350z don't think there available anymore ?

Yep, its that time of year again, MOT.....passed no advisories and a big thank you for Horsham Dev for another year of service and fettling when needed and advice when not.

2005 350Z on 82000 miles

Now owned the car for 5 years and she still puts a smile on my face.

Help, car 350Z in for MOT Thursday is the rear washer part of the MOT as the motor or connection has failed, no motor running when switch activated ,fronts are fine as are the headlight washers, I have ordered the blueprint rear pump but it wont arrive until after the MOT .

Based on your location Cougar Store Leicester is your best bet, when the time comes.

Empty Countryside and some pretty good roads too

hmmmm we sort of thought as much, didn't realise it was quite so far though

Hi peeps, just about to move to a little village called Hagworthingham nr Spilsby Lincolnshire and wondered if anyone knew of the best place for servicing and MOT of my old 350Z ?

All help gratefully received

I would agree to a point on that bytespc but simply stopping that is not going to solve the problem. There might be non-natives in the waiting room, but one of them might be a wealthy businessman who set up a business employing a dozen people here in the UK and exporting goods, possibly paying much more tax into the NHS that many of us, ok they might not be the traditional white colour and speak the queens English but observational views like that are open to being misread. I do agree though there are the medical tourists that come to the UK for treatment - I do not though believe they are the downfall of the NHS. 

 

Other factors that I would say have a big if not bigger role are: 

Your life expectancy in the UK in 1970 was something like 67-68 years old, now its nearly 80. People are living much longer, but in those later years requiring much more care - UK population in 1970 56m now its 63m with people living longer 

Lifestyle changes in the UK over that time have swerved all over the place but certainly only recently have people actually understood how to look after themselves, heavy smoking drinking fast food etc has been common place in the UK and obesity was a big issue not so long ago that the government threw a tonne of money at nationwide campaigns to educate the populus

The recent rise in pollution and air quality accounts for tens if not hundreds of thousands of problems with health in the UK

And many many more things that we as a country do that promotes visits to the GP/Hospitals

 

I guess the easy thing to solve the problem is to point fingers and accrue blame, however I believe there is so much more at play here. Certainly the funding is just not there. £112bn in 2009, £122bn in 2017 and only a planned £126bn in 2012 its simply not enough to deal with the sheer amount of people coming through the door due to all the above reasons and many many more.

A lot of what you say is true to a point but for me one of the big sea change events was when successive governments withdrew support for care homes , in the 6 years up to 2016 1,500 closed , also the disgusting removal of support for the cerebral palsy / special needs  schools which  lead to mass closures and the inevitable pressure that put on local infrastructure , one of the hardest items I ever watched on Southern TV was an interview with a young lad as they closed the Portsmouth special needs school that had been there for decades and how he was dreading being forced into mainstream schools where he will inevitably be bullied endlessly.

We are supposed to be a civilised society but how we treat our Elderly / Sick or infirm beggars belief, on a personal level walking with sticks and slowly and ungainly I am attacked verbally on an almost daily basis thanks to governments tainting disabled as scroungers / scum who suck the life out of our economy ( thanks Duncan Smith ), also as I drive a 350Z with a Disability Badge the abuse is never ending...because of course Disabled aren't allowed anything nice because it must be at the expense of others.

I'm off to have a cuppa .

Sorry to hear about your woes, here's hoping you get better soon and they find the root of your drastic crash.

Having been in and out of Hospitals for the past 25 years with a chronic Arthritis and Heart issue I totally agree with you on the standard of our care system, I now have many friends in the NHS who have privately told me the same thing ref the problem with the system but it's not PC or palatable for many but it is the truth, years ago the NHS was quietly taken over by the Liberal / Lefty Elite who decided it was no longer a National Health Service but an International one and without anyone voting for it started treating any foreigner who racked up, there is a system in place for supposedly getting them to pay but the culture within the system is now so screwed up that anyone attempting to follow up a non payment is vilified as racist.

A&E is now effectively a Dr's surgery as GP's are so overwhelmed by the influx of non English speakers that they simply cant cope any more.

Sorry if this offends anyone but this is my ongoing first hand experience and as I said the view of a lot of Health Professionals who if they voice any decent will instantly be struck off,
