I would have but the roof is brand new, the guy advised to keep it up for a while to let it stretch and shrink. It's sorted now, hopefully have another nice day sometime soon. Are you in Dumbarton? There's a black one up the road from me, I've never clocked the reg on it,I usually see it when i'm working. I stay up in Garshake, I've seen yours about in Dumbarton a few times. We should get out for a drive when the good weather comes!

'twas me! Clocked you at the last second, but I did return the wave! It's days like yesterday where I really wish I had the roadster, you should've had the roof down enjoying it - that could've been our 1 day of summer!!

This kind of tech is superb! I work in a ship yard where we use this technology to scan the units of the ship in as they are built in the fabrication shed, after which they can be directly compared to the CAD model which we have created to ensure it is within the build tolerances. What kind of tolerance in the model do you achieve with your scans? It'd be interesting to see if a scan of the engine bay and/or underside for example could be exported into a format readable by solid works or inventor. It would give you near OEM ability (given the right skills, of course) to design, optimise and integrate parts such as exhausts and manifolds.

I never thought the sticker on the boot lid would come in handy, as a non-golfer

Don't think my eyesight is that good!!

Got a wave off the driver of an orange 350 cab on my way home from work around 12.15, anyone on here?

There are a few in your area, however if you are ever up in Perth, then swing by and I will take you out in the 666bhp 350. which has a twin plate ATS Carbonetic fitted. I may have to find an excuse to come to Perth soon...

Lads (and Ladies), It's time for the flywheel debate once again. I'm due to replace the clutch at some point this year so I am going to start buying the bits soon just so I have them ready for when I need them. The question is: which flywheel? I know it's been debated to no end on here. However, I want to hear from people who have actually got a solid flywheel fitted. I've spent countless hours looking up videos of solid flywheels on cars that originally had a DMF, as well as reading the numerous threads on here. There are good arguments for and against both. I'm very keen on the benefits of a solid flywheel over the more complex DMF but I'm not going to lie: it's the potential noise from the gear backlash that scares me. I realise that it's a nuisance more than anything but I'm worried I'll get fed up with it as I've never been in a car that's been converted. From the few videos I could find with one on a 350Z the noise does seem quite loud. Is it really? Does it differ from car to car? The trade-off seems to be a heavier solid flywheel equivalent to the original flywheel rather than the lightened one - which Torqen does offer. It weighs in at 26lbs vs the factory 23lb flywheel. However, I still can't help but feel that without the springs on the flywheel to help absorb the pulses from the engine, the clutch springs still won't dampen the backlash entirely. Or will they? Does anybody have this (or a similar) flywheel fitted? Is there anyone near Glasgow that has a solid flywheel fitted that I could meet so I could hear it? Am I over thinking this? Someone get me a beer... Cheers!

PMd!

There's a guy in my work who also has a black HR 350Z. I only spoke to him once very briefly on the way in one morning, but I've went out to the car at night and found him parked next to me on a few occasions! Mine's always cleaner mind

Bought it when I was 20, now 21

Think I paid £1.15 for it last week when I filled up. It annoys me though - last year when fuel was £1.35, vpower was always about 5p more per litre, but now that regular unleaded is down to £1.05 or less it seems to be around 10p or more per litre.

Cheers!

Is matte black the one I'm looking for? Going to order it the now and can't find any satin black plastidip, but matte comes up so assuming matte/satin is the same thing! Forgive me if this is a daft question!

Cheers guys! Did you have to spray the whole thing or just the damaged bit?
