Welcome! There are a few Zs around this way! Mine is going up for sale this week so could have been one for you, doh! 57' HR black with frost leather.
Let me know where you're based, happy to bring it along for a chat so you can compare yours. Can check some of the common stuff too

Welcome! Z is a pretty common step once you're done with 9k honda limiter life!

Track
in East Anglia
Abbey Motorsport - left mine down there for a week while I was away. It's quite a run from here but worth it. Made 299 at the wheel.

Let me know - am between ipswich/bury and can roam over!

Track
in East Anglia
Always - about 25 mins away.
Yet to do a session in the Z though, use a T sport corolla track car among other things.
My current setup did a 104.8 static db, I now have a silenced midpipe that brings it to 87.4 .. somehow, so I'm looking to book an evening very soon....
Let me know if you want to book on one together
Car is bone stock bar exhaust and an uprev so will no doubt feel awful, soft and cook brakes.

Ooh, those had failed!
Mine had a hesitation at low rpm and my warm idle was just under the 30psi - now sits where yours is after being sorted.
Mark @ Abbey motorsport did mine.
Although mine hadn't totally failed (your pre-fix warm pressure is scary) Mark said both gaskets were breaking up and were well on their way.
As for backordered gaskets - Abbey get theirs from Z1 motorsports in the US.
What mileage is yours on? 79k I had mine done.

Surely these are sold.. I have with a friend with a 34 GTT who'll take them otherwise
-
Sold - Please lock
Thank you

This lad had a near new 370Z Nismo for sale.. also breaking a DE which was half built as a drift car.
I'd imagine he's aware they're not brembo as they're a bit different to his 370!

Welcome,
My HR with ART Decats/Miltek Y Pipe/Cobra Non-res/HKS Panel filters made 297 at the hubs.. You can see some decent power from these things.
They are heavy with long gears however so will never be as quick as you expect.

Removed earlier this month from my HR as I've gone for something a bit louder!
Previous owner fitted - has been on for about 10k miles and in really good shape. Two scuffs on the bottom of the tailpipes from storage since removal.
Really quite an impressive thing, great note and most of the time you wouldn't even know it was fitted.
It'll come with a new clamp to join the midpipe and box - previous one was a bit past it!
I can ship anywhere in the UK or collection/meet - based near Bury St Edmunds.
£300 posted, will be less if you want to collect.
Any questions/additional pictures just ask!
Cheers

Has anyone played Steep yet? I like the look of it...
I'd like it.. but it didn't look worth full price, waiting for it to get down to a tenner or so and I'll grab!
Might keep me amused during the wait for Skate 4

Just thought I'd add mine in;
24 years old, 7 years NCB, with Aviva @ £380.
Yep, 23 years old, 4 NCB, Aviva for £530
Well worth a call!

I had my DE at 21 with elephant, think it was about £960 (admiral/elephant group)
Currently 23 with my HR, through aviva it was £530 - 5 years license, 4 ncb - well worth giving them a call.
I ran the horrific 'drive app' for 200 stressful miles and ended up with 9.6/10 - 28% off from that. Then just delete it.
Your choice when you use the app but need 200 miles recorded for a score! Just stick to speed limits and be smooth. Motorway with cruise on is a great way.
Aviva did say the car is listed as 25+ but owning one previously negated that. The chap phoned the broker and they were happy to add my girlfriend too who has no experience of this kind of car.
Until this year I always used elephant. They were around 1100 for my Integra at 19 when everyone else wanted £3k+! I think it's elephant/admiral/bell that are the same group

Previously ran a cobra non-res on the old car, lovely sound. It drones a bit on throttle up a hill.. but never enough to really bother me. My Hondas before had been fully stripped and deathly loud (Spoon N1 or Buddyclub Spec 2...)
This one currently has a scorpion fitted, actually sounds a lot nicer than I expected, more of a tinny sound than the Cobra, a lot quieter. Light throttle inside you wouldn't even know it was there.
Cobra Non-res & ART decats to fit however... not yet seen this combo! Trying to keep the tone of the Cobra but give it the kick I like! It might be awful and drone like hell!
-
^ We should be friends. About 2 miles from you with a black HR, previously (2014) a grey DE. How have I never seen/heard yours...
-
Will be keeping an eye on this - see so many around here, about time I went to something!

Divider arrived this morning, straight in the car - fits perfectly as expected and looks great!
I see you've upgraded the design since the last one I had with a new strip of grippy soft stuff! Never had any fitment problems with the old one but nothing will knock this one loose now!
Thanks again Ian!

There's a massive roll of sound insulation in my shed waiting to be put in, so was actually a useful search/read for me too!

I have a friend who will be moving to a Nissan dealer as service manager next month.. so will be seeing what it can be done for there at a very reduced labour rate - GTR/370s in the showroom so presume it's a full, performance dealer.
If that's still extortionate then i'll be contacting one of you lot!
Low rpm hesitation when coming on throttle - related? Or a seperate fault entirely and cured with a map..

I came from a UK DC2 to a 350Z DE
Both totally stock bar noise - Mugen airbox/98' mani, decat, Spoon N1 & Just a cobra non-res Y back on the Z.
I think you have to be over Hondas before you make the move.. I was bored of having to scream the poor thing everywhere and wait for the power. The shove in any gear from the Z was such a wonderful change.
Both sounded incredible, I still miss the crossover on the teg but the Z really is something else.
I now have a 350Z HR which is soon to get the same Non-res cobra but with Motordyne ART decats this time.
The Zs are most certainly not B road heroes like the Honda was.. you really do feel the width of them - not so much the weight.. just overall size.
The DE used to run dead level with a mates JDM 98' DC2 (which used to drive away from my UK
.. they really are that much faster) The DE though had at best 280bhp so that was always to be expected. In my eyes I kept about the same speed but gained the noise, rear drive fun/feel and a degree of luxury.I used to work at a Honda dealer prior to a drastic career change - albeit on the bikes it was a combined dealer so I still drove everything I could get my hands on. So I've been fortunate enough to try pretty much everything with an R badge on it.. (only standard NSXs!)
