Ok, so fitted mine at the weekend. First thing - the washers included were next to useless and completely too small. Make sure you buy some wider ones. The next issue I had was the the rear bolts for the OEM tray had sheared flush. Now about an inch behind those are some other threaded holes. I tried what I could to adjust the tray to reach, but it was a good portion short. So I ended up making some brackets for it. Bit of a pain as I was on the deck, but I get them made and managed to tighten the tray up nicely. Yes - hole lands are small, this was a space issue. 3mm thick ally anyway, so will be strong enough

Great review. I bought one specifically for the last part of your post - my OEM one has died taking some of the arch liners with it :(

I know this is 3 years ago, but seeing as I'm getting hesitation myself, just wondering if you got rid of it?

I thought about a private plate, but then your car becomes more unique and people see you do things in it. Anonymity for the win

So this has been resolved! I ordered a pair of TBs from the US, they sent me 2 right hand ones, so they then sent me a left hand one as well! Turns out I didn't even need them... I ordered 2 new Hitachi AFMs (I tried the cheap ones but they were sh1t so got a pair from Rock Auto). Installed them, did the pedal dance and immediately 700rpm. Car doesn't misfire and throttle response is back to normal! Very very pleased

Just picked up the car from Crewe Nissan. £120 down the drain - did absolutely nothing despite the service lady saying it had been sorted. That and they lost my phone number so I had to chase them. Sh1t service really. Oh well, new throttles it is!!

I went to get Nissan to do it but obviously everyone is on Holiday. My car is booked in for Thursday so we'll see what happens and I'll let you know. I have a pair of throttles lined up for £170 from a 370Z from the US (Taxes and shipped) - some bloke wanted £400 on eBay - yeah - having a giraffe with that!

Might be worth taking your steering wheel off see if the cables have come loose/something broken.

Yeah I might have seen one of your posts when doing my research. This was another port of call. I might pop over there tomorrow see if they can do anything Yep, I have a tuner uprev license for this very reason. Appreciate the offer though. Thanks

I have driven a DE revup and a HR back to back. The performance difference is noticeable..just. In any world that isn't timed and in a race, there will be no difference. However... The HR is the more exciting engine. Those extra revs and the way it responds it just feels more eager. This, IMHO, is more important than the 0.5 1/4 mile BS. There are others - the dipstick is a doddle to read and it hasn't used ANY oil in the 15k miles I have done in mine whereas the DE Revup got through about 1 litre per 1k miles and you could only guess at the oil level with the dipstick. The above thoughts are those of the DE RU owner and mine. People who bleat on about the tax... It's £215 per year (55p per day) more which is absolutely NOTHING in terms of running these cars. If you want to pootle around and park your car, the DE is more than enough, but if you really like driving for the fun of driving the HR is worth the go IMHO. That is 100% not to say that the DE is a POS because it isn't. But if the DE is felatio, the HR is felatio with eye contact

Ask around a few garages local to you and get some prices. There is nothing special about a 350Z clutch.

I'm at the point of buying replacement throttles now, but thought I'd give it one last go before l cave in. Car was fine, went away for a couple of weeks, came back and it has a strange idle issue and hunting between 1500 and 2000rpm. Que reset, self learn reset, throttle position reset, pedal dance, unplugging throttles, cleaning AFMs, new sparkplugs, replaced galley gaskets (in for a penny etc but they did need doing), running NDSIII and using that, thoroughly cleaning throttles (after they had been unplugged first). The lowest I can get the idle is 900rpm, but the hunting still occurs, with a hang at 1500rpm after a rev, them a rev up to about 2k, and then back to 900 so not drastic but not right either. The NDSIII learn never completes (Either IAVL failed or times out of 3000). All parameters for idle relearn are met (>75ºC water, steering straight, no eleccy load, handbrake on, no CEL, prerequisite prayers to the Nissan Gods etc). The ECU is an EV16A but since this started happening without the throttles being removed, so I have ruled out the 'you don't know sh1t about 350s and you've fuzzy ducked your ECU!' reason and I'm pointing towards the throttles. My guess is that either the sensor has gone somewhat or the throttle plate has worn enough that it can no longer close enough to drop the rpm enough to reach target idle. With the throttles unplugged, the car idles at 1200rpm. My only idea is that there is what APPEARS to be a idle control screw (well, a throttle closed position screw in any case) I did try having a go at moving it but it was pretty stuck (locknut came undone but screw didn't turn). So if anyone has any ideas, I'd be mroe than welcome to hear them. TIA

Yeah this is going to lose you performance over the OEM intake. Each pulse is going to negatively affect the flow backwards and forwards per fire - it'll be like shaking a milkshake! There is a reason plenums are used - it's cos they work

Cut your springs and get helper springs.

Fast road is not 100% track focused and too aggressive to use on the street, but also not focused at comfort, economy or tyre life either. ??? So it's not track but it's too aggressive to be used on the street? Sounds like a bad setup to me if you can't use it anywhere?! Optimised? You mean compromised. A b-road and an Autobahn are VERY different and you cannot possibly expect to be optimised to both unless you have adaptive dampers 'God' comes back with 1.6 Billion hits and he doesn't exist, so I think it's fair to say hit quota on google means nothing. Well, see it the way serious people who set up their cars see it. Now, saying that you have a preferred setup for the track, but take off some camber for the road is fine. Saying that you have a setup for the track and a setup for the road is fine. But if someone asks you 'What is your road setup and you say 'It's fast road'... Call it trolling if you want, it's Monty Hall paradox as far as I'm concerned.
