  1. Ps can someone back me up that the search tool can be a bit frustrating at the best of times lol? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I figured there would be previous posts since its a common subject and I'll admit I only tried a soft search but please forgive me for being lazy this time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. If ever there was a sign to go DECAT this is it..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Alight folks, wasn't sure what section to put this in so I just settled for here. Anywho, has anyone ever had their engine carbon cleaned? The process hinvolves injecting hydrogen into the intake and then just letting your car run on idle for 30 mins. This apparently cleanses the carbon deposits in the engine thus improving all sorts of things according to them. What's the story? Is it worth the money? I see the logic in it but surely a good drive with a heavy right foot every now and again would do the same trick? Opinions? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Yeah it's probably just because I'm viewing through tapatalk. Suppose I'll have to do it the old fashion way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Video isn't appearing Chris I'm afraid (for me anyway). Anyone else? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Yeah white worm sounds familiar, I knew there was a name for it. It's really horrendous looking. I thought there might have been a quick fix but them hopes have been dashed I don't think I could leave it as it is, every time I walk past my car it's the first thing I always notice so something has to be done. I'll probably go for a full refurb at some stage. Cheers for the advice bud. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Hi all, I have these strange scratch type marks on my alloys. They were on it when I bought the car so I'm not quite sure where they have came from or what's caused them (possibly stones flying around the dish?). Has anyone seen anything similar on their wheels and what do you think would be best to remove them? Cheers lads. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. It's funny, I thought I noticed more torque with the cats in after I went from decats -> cats, but you don't really notice a loss the other way around, so I'm happy enough. I enjoy the noise too much as it is though, although I'm not sure I could make it a daily with the decats in! I'll second this, I definitely noticed a loss in torque when I put the decats in. Also doesn't feel like it's pulls as well top end. I haven't got round to mapping mine yet either so I'm sure that would sort any issues anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Really surprised this hasn't gone yet. If I seen this before I found my one it would be on my drive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Alright lads, I've managed to have a stone chip on my window which is developing into a crack 😢 I've bought a repair kit of eBay (rainX). Has anyone had any dealings with these kits and do they work? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Welcome 😃 Sorry to hijack but what is the meet next week? Been waiting for something to happen in this part of the world to meet the other zedders? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. https://vimeo.com/176018274 Well if you are looking to go down that route here is a vid of my zed with an Ark Grip and Invidia test pipes. They sound great with or without them to be honest 😠I forgot how mine sounded without them to be honest though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Ekona I seen you complaining under another video but I didn't know which way you preferred so i actually done this to try and please you but I must of got it wrong 😞 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Can anyone tell me if the video link works? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Ok folks here is a video of the Invidia test pipes mated to my Ark Grip system. Wish I done a before video because it sounds completely transformed but anyway enjoy the vid. Although videos never really do much justice do they! https://vimeo.com/169371146 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. It's funny that, I wonder what causes it to lose the low end torque? The uprev has to get put on the back burner as I'm off to the Euros for a few weeks. Really gutted as I wanted to get it done before I went but there was a delay in getting the test pipes in 🙠Not to worry though, the main thing is I absolutely love the sound. Between 2-3k rpm the car is really quiet at cruising speed but anything below or above and the beast is unleashed! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Ok folks I've got the test pipes fitted to my car today. A bit embarrassing as I meant to do a before and after video but only realised when I was half way through the job so I'll just have to put up an after video 😳. It is mated with my Ark Grip system, and people here said it would be loud but I wasn't expecting it to be that bad. The car sounds incredible!! I know the raspiness is like marmite to people but I love it! A few things I've noticed though that I wonder if anyone else has. The car doesn't feel as quick through the gears as it did before and it also doesn't feel as torquey? Is there a reason for this or is it all in my head? The next stop is down to TDP for a remap to tie it all together. I'll get a video up later on once I stop driving around like a child at Christmas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. If you haven't already on Friday once your exhaust/Cats have cooled down I'd spray all the bolts and nuts with some WD40 or similar penetrating fluid to try & make everything come apart that bit easier. Also there is a guide here, although it is for fitting HFC's still thought it might help. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/150-diy-kinetix-hi-flow-cats-diy-install-guide/ Good luck. Thanks buddy I'll give that a go and see how I get on. These jobs always seem so easy in your head until you start them don't they! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Will do, I tried to fit them on Saturday but once I got a look under the car and seen a few rusty bolts on the cats I got disheartened very quickly and gave up as I didn't want to start breaking bolts. I have more time this weekend when I get home so hopefully I'll get them on and get a few vids posted 😃 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Just came home today to a lovely box of goodness from Tarmac Sportz. It contained some lovely Invidia test pipes. These are about to be mated to my Ark Grip system. Is anyone running a similar set up? Thanks to Tarmac Sportz for the swift delivery given the lead time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. I have an Ark Grip fitted and I find it quiet enough in the cabin to hold a conversation. Even while idling you would think it was standard. But it still sounds really good through the Rev range. Waiting on invidia test pipes to be delivered now though so I'm sure that will all change for me lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Lovely Zed pal, GLWS 👠Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Sunday is a nice day to give a bit of TLC to the ladies in our lives. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. I stuck the diagnostic tool into it after it happened the second time and I think it came up throttle position or something along them lines, but I didn't think anything more of it when it cleared itself. Again I was just thinking that maybe it was because of the plenum spacer as it happened on first start up after fitting. If it happens again I'll put in the reader again but I'll see when I get home on Friday. Nixy I'm the same, I only drive it at the weekend, but it has never happened while driving, only when starting the car up. Just going to take it easy until I get the uprev just incase! Cheers for the replies lads. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
