I was very sceptical of the partial wrap idea but gotta admit it actually looks really cool. Great choice of wheels, ties it all in nicely and the polished lip helps them not get lost in the tyres!

A lightened flywheel lets the engine rev more freely but gives a bit more 'chatter' than a DMF so it depends whether you can tolerate the increased noise. Also SMFs tend to be cheaper and don't wear as easily. As far as clutches go you might as well stick with OEM unless you're planning on tracking the car or running a lot more power than standard through it. If you do decide to go for a SMF I think this kit is pretty popular and really well rated- https://h-dev.co.uk/product/nissan-350z-z33-de-xtreme-clutch-single-organic-kit-inc-smf-kni25525-1a/?v=79cba1185463 I've got the same one for my zed but haven't fitted it yet.

It is a joke but sadly it seems to be normal practice across lots of different industries like broadband, energy etc- you get penalised for loyalty to a certain company rather than rewarded. I've been with Admiral for 7 years because they always come up cheapest but it's always a fight to get a fair price, especially seeing as they try and take themselves off price comparison sites if they detect you're a customer nearing your renewal. This year my renewal quote was £650 but I managed to get it through confused for £400 with a £250 lower excess and added NCB protection. I always make sure I start getting quotes as soon as I'm within the 30 days because I find a lot of companies increase the quote the sooner you put the start date.

What a brilliant post, sounds like you've had a busy year! Any chance of discount on your detailing services for fellow forum members?

It'll make absolutely no difference to emissions. All it will do is just look better, sound different and possibly have slightly better airflow.

I had my LMGT4s powdercoated in gunmetal grey just over 2 years ago, the car is silver and I wanted some contrast. The finish is great and they look just as good now as the day I had them done.

Cheers guys didn't realise Nissan actually do a touch up kit, I'll get in contact with them.

After having a trials bike and then a moped when I was younger I finally got my first big bike (2002 ZXR400 L9) when I was 19 for my A2 license. Nearly 6 years later I've got my full A license and keep toying with the idea of getting something bigger but can't bring myself to sell the baby ninja!

Still on the hunt for these

As above, I'm after a kit to touch up a few stone chips on the front end to make them less obvious. Never bought anything like this before so wondering if anyone has any reccomendations? Had a quick look online and this looked like a pretty comprehensive one- https://colorndrive.com/gb/touch-up-paint/nissan-350z-airstream-k23,103740/details

https://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/350z-z33-nismo-v3-front-bumper-oem-nissan.html Pricey, but I guess if you're after genuine/oem you kinda have to expect that

From the little bit of research I've just done looks like if your car is a a facelift then they're simply plug and play. If you've got a pre-facelift they'll work but won't illuminate unless you run in an extra wire. https://my350z.com/forum/exterior-and-interior/614805-changing-steering-wheel-controls-from-04-to-07-a.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/instrument-cluster-and-gauges/nissan/oem-350z-cruise-control-retrofit-kit-06-p-11628.html

Depends what your needs are I guess, whether you want single or double din, nav, touch screen, apple/android car play etc. I normally go with either Alpine or Pioneer because I've always used them in the past and found them to be good quality.

Oh right okay, my bad. Take it they're a different design or something then?

The gas struts aren't supposed to open the tailgate automatically, they're just there to make it easier to open and hold it up. If the tailgate doesn't clear the latch on the first press of the button you can try packing out the boot springs with a few rubber washers.

Bargain. GLWTS

Just replied to your PM mate

I'm at Gaydon and have a silver rev-up with Nismo kit

The oem Bose unit isn't great to be honest and is extremely outdated, you'd be better off upgrading to something aftermarket.

Why not get the gains and keep your car MOT friendly with some HFCs, best of both worlds Personally if I was a potential buyer decats would put me off because I don't know any friendly testers so would have to factor in the cost of sourcing some cats & swapping them over then back again come MOT time.

Correct

I've bought tyres from various online sites over the years and never had a problem. It's always a good idea though when buying anything online to make sure it's a trusted site that you either know or has good reviews.
