  1. Getting it installed by an auto electrician in a week or so, will post up pics once I've done all my mods, got a few things going on in the engine bay too.............. at last lol
  2. As above, if any member has one for sale, cheers. Like this one. https://www.google.c...vefoWwgYs2_vyM:
  3. At the risk of sounding stupid............ is the uprev the only map available for the 350z. See lots of different makes and models being mapped by tuners, are they using generic maps or are they custom mapping each car ??
  4. The missus and I done a euro tour on the motorbike a few years ago, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Luxembourg and France. Luxembourg is a little known diamond nestling between Germany and France. Absolutely stunning roads and we'll worth a visit. There's a tourist spot where all the countries meet and you can step into three countries in 2 steps, sad I know but quite cool to do. The A and B roads in southern Germany leading to Luxembourg are awesome too. Fantastic holiday, loved that much we went back and done it again 2 years later, be just as cool to do it in the Zed.
  5. haha, oh yes sorry, they fit my inifiniti which is more like a yacht than a car Q50 or G35 ??
  6. You've GOT TO post up pics of these when they are fitted, they're huge !! Will fitting such a large wheel and tyre combo not mess with the speedo, traction control, suspension geometry etc etc ??
  7. Welcome along. Clicked on here hoping to see another Ginger Zed going by your user name lol
  8. Just watched the vids love how it changes colour at different views, real top paint job
  9. + 1 I think the bonnet bulge looks better... but I would say that, cos' I've got one
  10. Think you will find it Romanian Berks intake pipe Lol bluddy auto text on tablet is a pita
  11. Pmsl.....I was going to throw that idea in for you, a little bit of blue and it will be irn bru'd. Seriously though, slick motor and engine bay, really ott and I love it. I've just gotten started on my bay dressing up but as my Zed is sunset orange I'm going with lots of polished parts, white covers and purple Samco pipe set, looking forward to getting it all on.
  12. That's seriously tango'd, love it ðŸ‘
  13. I would argue that a modder is far from being a hooligan, although there are some out there, I would argue that someone who puts money into a car that doesn't increase its value as we all know to any great degree against an unmodified car of the same make and model, is more likely to drive sensibly more often than a chav in a corsa and I'm not talking about 18 year olds. Piling your hard earned dough and your weekends into making your car unique surely says your gona look after it and not drive like **** !!!!!! Ok.... I know we get a heavy right foot from time to time, but a modder loves their car a lot more than the "Joe publics". Would be very interesting to have a insurance trade member on here give us all the real honest facts.
  14. That's a bummer mate, I found the course to be really helpful and confidence building. I've just done a few engine mod installs and would never have even thought about doing it myself before doing the night school course.
  15. One for the more enlightened on this subject.......maybe even one of the forum insurance reps / traders. 2005 350Z gt has an officially listed claim of 276 bhp, but as we all know, horses turn to donkeys over the years and after ten years my Z will have lost between 10 and 25 bhp ???? Open to speculation !!!!!. So..... If my cars bhp performance is a factor in the insuring world..... what happens if I get my car power modded, ie plenum spacer, air intake, remap, sports cats and it is still only 276 bhp after a dyno test ??. Surely there is an argument from the punter that, I may have modded my car but I have only brought it back to its original bhp so therfore why is my premium increasing ?. I've just carried out a few mods to the engine bay, polished plenum (Mopedmark), 2006 oem airbox (Flyboy) and polished aluminum air intake pipe and plenum spacer (Torqen), cheers guys, it's not been mapped........yet !!. My car is heavily modded on the body front and my insurance company has told me that as long as there is no bhp increase, my premium won't be affected, just as long as I notify them to all and any mods I do, which is fair enough. But it really sticks in ma craw that even when power modding and not exceeding the official Nissan bhp for my Z, they want to increase my premium.......... how can they explain that one ?? How many members here have done power mods as listed above and still don't get to the original bhp that has such a baring on our insurance prices.
  16. I went to a night school home mechanics course at the local college, cost was 122 quid for a 12 week course, money well spent
  17. Perfect timing, both my Zed and pathfinder are due up next month, I'll be in touch mid November

  19. Zedititus has caught up with me after a year of owning the Zed. Mahoosive thanks to Adrian for the quick delivery on the polish berks intake pipe and plenum spacer. Great price and service í ½í±
