Smashing Battlefield lately, by far the best game to date on the PS4. When the crews online we very rarely do badly. Now level 69 with all classes level 10 and higher Throughly enjoyed mafia 3 but like others have said over far too quickly and lots of missed opportunities Now fallout 4 with the release of user based mods. Wow. I recommend for anyone who hasn't played the fallout range give them ago. I hadnt until its release last year and Ive not looked back

Timing chain didnt snap per say however it would appear the tensioner isnt happy with a distinct rattle on cold start ups if its sat for a couple days. Its not unknown for them to go with time however despite being an 03 its only done 74K...

I actually found that having parents on my insurance made it more expensive, from the POV of the insurance company they said you know the car, they dont so they're more of a risk. Adding parents doesnt always make it cheaper

I have a nismo V2 bumper in gun metal that Im looking to sell... Could be just the cure to help you get over your sudden case of @*!# to the brain 😉 We've all done it boss, dont worry!

What you're sayibg is true but you have to remember that the OEM oil pressure sender unit and gauges on these cars are garbage and known to give different readings, its only when you connect it to a independent pressure tester you get a gospel figure. They create more scare mongering then good Im interested in what you've said though, I dont think Ive ever it accurately at 2000RPM giving a solid 60psi reading. I only achieve that if im closer to 70mph cruising in 6th, but that makes me just over 2500RPM

Experienced this today and it makes me very moody... not giving way when there is clearly an obstruction on there side!

Because the number of 22 year olds who have crashed a 370z is low combined with probably a good postcode aswel as your NCB I struggled to insure mine this year, despite being 25 and ownin it for over a year. Was unexpected thats for sure. Got it down to £450 modifications declared though so im happy

Gallery gaskets seem to be a common issue on the HR engines, which coinside with low oil pressure and oil usage. Another cost to factor in with that mileage is the timing chain and tensioner could well suddenly let go. I fell fowl of this and so far quotes are around £1500... Definitely bullet proof engines, but not an engine you can just forget imo. As youve owned a Honda (Ex B18EK owner here) be ready to be checking oil levels regularly if you're paranoid like me

Nah because it was still doing it in the beginning! Was only after a record breaking stop from 100MPH that its started behaving itself! Nice try DaveyWavey "DEEZ NUTZ"

Think I owe you a beer Ekona, took them all apart today and cleaned everything, sanded the padds slightly and cleaned the disks then took it for another heavy braking session as it was dry, really dod some harsh stops and it seems to have cured it! Touch wood

Ive tried doing tbe braking procedures you mentioned tonight Ekona, doesnt seem to have made a difference. Although its pretty cold tonight so didnt go too mad. Will pull them apart tomorrow armed with a wire wheel brush for the hubs and brake cleaner tomorrow. Sigh

Just an FYI guys, heavily dyslexic person here! Doh on the topic title. My bad, mybe ill tlk lyke dis yh Thanks to those for the sensible replies. If anyone else has any other ideas id appreciate to hear them, just if the grammar teachers could pipe down. Whats padd transference?

Hey Boys and Girls, Hope everyone has had a good Christmas so far! I swear my Z is one of the most temperamental cars on the planet! As some will know I had issues last month with the Clutch slave cylinder which decided to give up, luckily saved by Chris @ Tarmac Sportz. I don't think the two are linked but it is odd how the two have coincided. Its possible its been caused by the car sitting for a nearly a month? So basically I've had the car back on the road just over a week now, and everything seemed great. I took it for a run the day I got it back as the disks were looking a bit crusty on the surfaces but nothing a few normal braking stops would sort. But the last couple of days I've noticed what I can only assume is a warped disk. It happens at low speeds when the pedal is applied lightly, doesn't happen under harder braking from speed. You can easily hear a grinding "Donk" Donk" from inside the cabin and outside, and more importantly you can actually feel a "kickback" through the pedal. It feels like the pedal is fighting back. Braking isn't affected at all it just does not feel right for obvious reasons. The brakes themselves are MTEC drilled and grooved with HELL braided lines Another thing to note is that at slow speeds (less than 10MPH, turning speed basically), I get an audible "Donk" Donk" which is rhythmic (gets quicker or slower) but ONLY when turning left... Id thought this was driveshaft click but its bloody loud for that So to summarise Happens at low speeds, with light pedal pressure. Hard braking is fine until you slow down Easily hear and feel a "Donk" Donk" metally sound, and feel through the pedal Brakes are newish, less than a year old and done less than 10K miles Any ideas guys?

So the update to this is that the clutch slave cylinder had completely shat its pants :| For whatever reason it went in semi working and came put with a new one. Thats why it wouldn't bleed. Interestingly enough though, it does feel much much better. No where near as jerky with this deadzone alot of Z owners report. Always found the clutch was either on or off and this has cured it, I'd imagine the braided line helps too Rather then start another topic, how have people adjusted there clutch pedals though? The biting point is very high causing some over revving on my part. Which way do I turn the rod to lower it slightly?

Tell me about it. :|

I cant say for definite as I dont understand car sound systems enough (this is actually my first car with a sub.. lol) but I'd like to say so Mine used to make a loud pop everytime the sub would cut out, but replacing the AMP was an educated guess that could've backfired. Forgive me for saying but if your AMP has been fiddled with already, its more then likly a recurring issue. Id replace the AMP

Almost 99% sure its the amp. Had a similar issue where the sub wluld cut in and out, sometimes if left it would return sometimes a good thump would get it to return. Not that I understand its something to do with the relay inside the amp Bought a second hand amp of Bob Ellis and its cured the issue and works a treat

Would definitely say the aboves true and ive noticed it, used to get hounded left right and center in the old Honda. People tend to leave me alone in the majority of the time which suits me fine Wish Id have more pleasant experiences with the police though. When I first got the car i was pulled over religiously. One copper even said to me "how does a lad like you afford a car like this?' Considering id done about a years worth of night shifts, made me feel pretty crappy. His face when he found out it wasnt stolen or loaned etc with modifications declared was priceless though. Congratulations you played yourself

My 1/16th scale Tamiya King tiger 1/6th scale Killzone Hazmat Trooper and 1/4th scale metal HotToys terminator Sorry to thread jack just soo good to see im not the only one who loves big boys toys! We should create a "Cool toys" thread on here? Got plenty to post including my tanks too!

Never in all my years did I think I'd bump into another RC tanker! I used to be well into this with a 1/8th scale panther, and a 1/6th scale panther. Did you get this from Mark 1 tanks? I used to know those guys well and be a part of the UK tank club. Still have my Tamiya king tiger stored safely away

Have to admit I really dont like country roads, especially at night time due to the Zs poor visibility. Theres all of petworth and surrounding areas around me that I use regularly heading up to camberly and I hate it. Tight, narrow and blind bends to boot combined with people wanting to fly round them. Had a couple "races" in the Z, funniest was with a fiat punto with cherrybomb exhaust. Before it broke again I had a play with an R35 on my home on the duel carriageway. Both of us just sat there doing various pulls making as much noise as possible, certainly got alot of looks while grinning like a Cheshire cat

After alot of talk and umming and aring, are you happy fella? Id hope that you are. They're just such different animals. Make sure you read up on oil gallery gaskets, theyre known to fail depending on your year of 370z. Looking forward to the build

How do you wire these in on a 350z Chris? Any guides out there or members who have done it?

I have one, cant post pictures as on my mobile but have a look at my buikd thread an youll see

I was servicing mine at the time and removed the Airbox completely all the way back to the throttle body so I could access that bank kf coilpacks. Near the throttle body there is a little tube that connects underneath to the airbox tube, that was simply kinked Sadly it was one of those too simple too see scenarios so it ended up costing me £65 just to be plugged in to the diagnostic scanner and out the door 20 minutes later. Thankfully the garage took pitty and just charged me for the scanning and not any time lol
