Thank you for the greets! (and tips) I'll get used to the car for a while, then when the wife has started thinking about other things, I'll get it down to TDI North in Warrington... Cheers -Mat

Hello everyone! 350Z noob here, please be gentle! I've been snooping around for a while, and just taken ownership of a 2007 313 in what I think is pretty good nick, unmodified, 60K on the clock. Very happy chap! But reading around a little more on the forums, I've got a nagging suspicion that my BHP could be down a fair bit - although I've read that ECU adapts to your driving style, so maybe I just need to push it to the limiter a little? For example - a fairly lame attempt at 0-60 (without huge revs/dumping the clutch) came in about 7 seconds (2nd gear), and the traction warning light did not come on at all. I believe the car limits the throttle at low speed - but does that sound normal? I don't get any clutch smell, and there are no strange sounds coming from the rear axle. I think the handbrake is OK. Aside from a rolling road, what can I do to check if I'm down on power? Someone mentioned timing 30 to 70mph in 3rd - does anyone have times for that? Any tips much appreciated - it's nice to be part of the family! Cheers -Mat
