  1. hehe, too bad we couldn't record videos. But Lucie took a few nice pics
  2. I better not know what my neighbours think. Hell ya I like it loud
  3. Yes, when I swapped my crank pulley I saw the stock one had a rubberized component in it. I agree, the stock clutch/fly does a lot of damping, too. I would not worry at all about a lightweight crank pulley. A slightly different matter will be when I need to upgrade my clutch/fly for the TT with said Competition Clutch kit. I will still have spring loaded clutch disk but no more dual mass flywheel. Damping will be compromise to some degree. Given hat I never read about harmonics induced crankshaft failures I take the risk.
  4. Possibly the best sound to match your power output The shockwave))) is also said to be compatible with both, NA and SC. Just wondering if it would be toooo loud with decats though René? Fair point. It might make high-speed motorway driving very noisy. The Motordyne Shockwave is "quiet" at 2-3krpm cruise, but has a resonance at 4krpm (loud racy rasp - perfect for scaring by-standers ) and quietens down again above 5krpm to redline. You've heard the loundess of mine with Berk 200cells. Empty downpipes ought to be a tad louder still. But I'm not sure how Motordyne ART downpipes would sound with the shockwave since you'd introduce a second pair of Helmholtz resonators.They ought to be quieter than straight-through downpipes.

  6. Wanted to say big thanks to Torqen for sponsoring the ACE Café meeting's prizes so I can now hold a Torqen voucher in my hands. Much appreciated, Adrian ad Darren! Also been pleasure meeting you in person
  7. I'll be seeing you guys at the Watford Gap Service Station, too. Cu soon
  8. I love that Fujimura front bumper. It's my favorite of them all out there I only went for Amuse on my own Z because Fujimura was out of my budget. The custom mirrors look ace
  9. Hehe, more than 100% charged .. supercharged! She almost begs for a weekend blast
  10. It may not convey very well in the image because of the flash light but IMHO the silver alcantara nicely goes with the aluminium trims in the Z's interior. Black alcantara would've been nice too, no doubt, but I wanted it to stand out of all the other black trims, given the exclusivity of this material
  11. I went with your recommendation and Jack@RoyalSteeringWheels has done a great job at re-trimming my steering wheel. I've just received it in the post today I went for Reprofiled + flat bottom Silver grey alcantara 4978 sides Perforated leather top&bottom Red centre band White stitching I love the looks and feel! This is how it look installed, back-to-back. [Original] [Re-trimmed]
  12. That's a good price. Mine were more like £100. Would be cool to have the Morimoto switchback orbs to have DRL and amber turn indicator in one halo
  13. I noticed your orbs/angel eyes are quite a bit brighter than my ONEighty orbs. Whereas mine are made of seventy or so 1210 SMD LEDs, your orbs appear one solid ring.Yours also got a nice blue hue to it whereas mine are 5000K white. If I did it all over again I'd probably pick your Morimotos. Have you got a link for them?
  14. wow, how did the torque curve become so flat with the SC? I had imagined low end torque to be lower, linearly building up. Awesome tune!
  15. LOL.. ok scrap that double dare. I can only imagine how much fun you must be having now. Very happy for you
  16. I was thinking, since my Greddy Profec has low and high boost settings, we set my low to 420whp=500bhp for daily use with longevity in mind, and high at 500whp=600bhp for the occasional dare. What do you think? There'd still be scramble mode for double dare... 550whp?
  17. Wow! is that at 8psi? Makes me wonder why I'm about to go turbo. 465 whp is more than enough That's like +70% over stock, upper safe limit. Brilliant, m8!
  18. Really nice John, looks awesome! Let us see some dyno please
  19. I'd love a red 12 o'clock stripe on my steering wheel. How to properly handle the SRS electric connector not to have a CEL later on? Just making sure the battery is disconnected before disassembling the steering wheel? I think I'm gonna check out RoyalSeeringWheels.com. Thx Bodboarder81
  20. A while ago I spray painted my dashboard centre dial (rev/ counter) in red. I love the prominent and race focused look of it. I used Halfords Flexible Vinyl Paint [#363457]. What do you think?
  21. Beautiful interior Dave! My favs are the seats and steering wheel. The new wheels make a big difference too
  22. From what I understand there is the Shockwave))) 350Z TDX2 and the Shockwave))) 370Z TDX. They are virtually identical in pipe diameter (hybrid 2.5" to 3", muffler and Helmholtz resonators). They ought to sound the same. Note, my exhaust became noticeably louder after I installed the Berk HFCs. With stock cats my Shockwave))) was not quite as loud.
  23. Found a vid of COLD START noise
