Roughly 2mm is shaved off the top of the front 2 inlet manifold trumpets/runners. The theory being this allows more air to reach the front 2 cylinders, which is the restriction we are trying to overcome by fitting the plenum spacer. It's modified lower plenum designed for the Revup engine, but if it works for that I can't see why it wont work on a DE engine too. See Motordyne's site: http://www.motordyneengineering.com/index.php?cPath=2_8&osCsid=1c6f5ca491c5f2c0ebb148a80cf714e4

I'm going to modify the lower plenum when I fit my spacer ala the Motordyne modification. Anybody else having a go?

That's good timing for me, as I have just finished the suspension and braking mods. 1. GappySmeg 2. GrahameJ 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

The discs look like iron/steel, but the calipers look exotic ;-)

Just to scare you even more, I spotted an Aston Martin DB9 today, and that had drilled discs on front and rear!What do they know about stopping from high speeds?

You will need the bigger discs too. The rear disc covers will then need to be modified due to the larger diameter of the discs. Just slot them with some tin snips and bend the edges straight to flatten them out of the way.

Since fitting a cold an EVO-R Performance Cold Air Intake Duct which takes the air in at the bottom left side of the radiator my average mpg has gone up from 24.9mpg to 25.5mpg, Measured over 1852 miles, and calculated by filling up to the brim and noting the mileage and fuel measured at the pump. So for me cold air has made a small difference. I got the idea for this when I saw Sheeza's Zed time story on page 4: http://www.350z-uk.c...ry/page__st__60 I modified the black plastic cover at the side of the radiator to direct air into the intake. Someone with more knowledge may be able to say if this is a high pressure area or not????

Worth waiting for, they are a massive improvement over stock oem shocks.

MTEC discs on mine - drilled and grooved, with Ferodo Premier pads and Goodridge hoses.. Excellent feel and stopping power! MTEC heat treat their discs after machining, so I'm not worried about cracking due to the drilled holes, and they do look better than dimples imo. 90% of the Mercedes in the car park at work have drilled discs on the front,and what do they know?

Ok, Ekona’s suggestion of 15 clicks front and 20 clicks rear is a very good starting point. The start of the M58 from Liverpool contains an 'S' bend. Tonight I was able to hug and hold the inside line (which is bumpy) for a change, accelerating round on the inside for a good position for the turn to hit the apex on the second bend. It was not to be as there was another car in the inside lane at that point. Never the less the MeisterR's got me round in the outside lane at a shade over 70mph. This might not seem much, but a lot of cars brake when they hit 60mph at that point. So Dan, thanks very much! Any further advice on what to try next will be appreciated by me, and no doubt anyone else trying to set up their suspension. Here is my 4 wheel alignment chart, which I'm hoping someone might be able to explain what it means. I have no idea if the front is toed in or out from looking at this????

Hi Jerrick, I would be interested in a techie video explaining how to adjust the suspension, and ride height. Any hints on how to overcome handling problems, and/or change how the car behaves would be welcome, including front and rear ride height bias. I’m now running your Zeta-S’s purchased in the group buy, and must say I’m impressed with the big improvement in ride quality and compliance. Currently set with front at 15 clicks, and rear at 20 clicks from hardest.

I had the MeisterR Zeta-s shocks fitted whilst I was on holiday at stock ride height, together with a 4 wheel laser alignment, and ran them for 2 days on 25 clicks from hardest as recommended. Today I’m now running Ekona’s suggestion of 15 clicks front and 20 clicks rear. This has firmed up the ride, and reduced front end dive on braking from the above bedding in settings, but is still compliant enough to cope with manhole covers, patchy road surfaces and speed bumps. I have purposely driven over bumps I would normally avoid, and driven over speed bumps at higher speeds and the MeisterR’s have just soaked up the bumps without a problem Next step is to see how the cornering is, and whether it can be improved. For those thinking of buying these shocks, I can say: These are quality shocks and a big improvement over stock OEM The shocks can be set up at Standard ride height if you don't want to lower your car, but will be able to set a lot lower if you wish. Ride quality is improved together with handling

Thanks Dan! I'll bed them in for a day as Edwin suggests and then try your initial settings. The car seems to handle pretty good as standard, fairly neutral off the throttle and brakes going into a corner and I start feeding in the power from the apex onwards, which tightens everything up on exit. What I am looking for is an improvement over standard suspension, that corners without understeer and which can handle the bumps too. I am certainly no drifter and just want to corner faster if I can. I have uprated the brakes with MTEC discs and Ferodo pads, so this is the next step, together with Goodridge brake lines. Alan Price will be fitting the shocks for me, as I have nowhere flat to work on the car, and I trust them. A cobbled back on a steep hill behind my garage isn't the best place for setting up ride height either! I am guessing wheel alignment will need checking once fitted. They have laser wheel alignment gear: http://www.ap-autose...heel-alignment/ Have you any suggestions for settings using OEM adjusters that I can give to them in addition to the Nissan service data below?

I got this advice from Edwin at MeisterR today which should help for initial setup: Sent Today, 09:36 HI Grahame, Try using a softer setting first to allow a little bedding in so about 25 clicks from hard. Then after a few days of driving you should just play with them to find your preference. Kind regards, Edwin

I am looking for the same advice on the Zeta-S. I've pm'd Jerrick at MeisterR but got no reply as yet. I bought mine as part of the Group buy and am looking to get them fitted this weekend. Initially I want to setup the car to stock ride height , which should be 705mm at the rear, and 683mm at the front according to the Nissan manual. (Unladen - measured from the floor to the wheel arches). I am guessing that having the front 22mm lower puts more weight over the front wheels aiding turn in. I need to know a good initial setting for the damper, i.e. number of clicks from the 32 available. All the MeisterR instructions say is that: Clockwise direction (HARD) is to stiffen damping.Turn the adjustment knob clockwise until it stop at Level 0 - hardest setting. Anti-clockwise direction (SOFT) is to soften damping. Turn the adjustment knob anti-clockwise until it stop at Level 32 - softest setting. As supplied the damper adjusters are set up as follows: Front - 9 clicks from hardest Rear - 8 clicks from hardest

If you really want to get everything clean then find a local Terraclean agent. I must say I haven't had the Zed done (as yet), but on my old 200,000 mile Mercedes it totally transformed it, and the engine felt like new afterwards. Alan Price Automobile Services in Blackburn know what they are doing with the Terraclean process, and it can help cars pass emission tests.

I have fitted MTEC drilled and grooved discs. Combined with Ferodo Premier FDB1561 front and FDB1562 rear pads. There is a noticeable improvement over the stock Brembos for road use with good initial bite and progressive braking power, wet or dry. They look good too. I never had a problem with drilled discs cracking in my racing days, and I'm not worried about it now. Mercedes fit drilled discs to their SLK sports cars, so I guess they don't consider cracking a problem either.

My guess is that later 06 box has a single larger trumpet. I have Flyboy's conversion fitted, although I silver soldered the new trumpet into the original 04 one, rather than using silicone. It's best unriveted from the box using this method!

Halfords have a 3 for 2 price offer on cleaning products this week. Beware - I only went in for a can of grey primer!

I think Conti Sport Contact 6 are only available in 19 inch rim sizes as yet. I'm running Conti Sport Contact 5 in the summer months and they seem ok to me. No issues with the slip light coming on.

Keeping my Winter Contis on until it gets above 7 degrees in the mornings. Why? They grip better than summer tyres below that temperature.

Yes it Works Bell kit. Got mine back in September 2015 and now looking to get it fitted and wired up. All I need is a feed that works when the ignition is on. Any auto electricians on here?
