  1. Will do, I've seen mopedmarks car in person before.
  2. Yes my bad the email came from Silverstone Japfest, i didn't read it properly There's also Japshow on this sunday as well
  3. I'll keep this thread updated with my progress. Here's what it looked like when i first got the car. I'm going japfest this sunday to steal some ideas hopefully I'll see some of you around.
  4. Many many hours spent on her so far, many many more to go till she's show spec.
  5. I have a solution to this problem and the issue of only having one cup holder.
  6. This a track car? As earlier discussed in this thread i thought it was an MOT failure without OEM airbag? If it is legal whats your insurance like knowning you removed the airbag?
  7. Sorry to dig up a fairly old thread but how much did this cost it looks awesome?
  8. @Mopedmark Can't wait to put your brace on with everything else I'm doing to my engine bay. Sneak preview of the anti roll bar, I'll soon be the shiniest guy around these parts of town once the rest of the engine bay is done
  9. I got it imported came faster and was cheaper even with import fees
  10. Damn bro my Zed flames but nothing like this, is this a flammer kit or a flame map or something? Here's my Zed atm
  11. Payday Friday folks, I've just had a new batch of filament come in any preorders for this weekend or the following week?
  12. Looks awesome, I never even thought about wrapping them like that.
  13. lol I only just read the title, I forget even though it's 350z-Uk it's not always just the UK hahaha.
  14. That number plate even legal lol
  15. Restrictions in the exhaust will make it harder for your car to flame. It's a long way to travel form the manifolds to the tips.
  16. I was looking at the pro charger kits they make fitment look so easy, I've seen people fit them on their own drive by themselves in one evening. Works out cheaper than the twin turbo kits as well. thanks again for the advice man I won't be doing it this year since no insurance company will touch a 20 year old with a boosted Zed but it's on my todo list
  17. I'm about to take mine off the road until next year and I fear I'll have the same issue. Admiral originally quoted me £1750 7 months ago if I do an online quote with them now it's £3300. im paying £1900 with every declared on mine. flux also quoted me £8000 and I don't have 20k sitting around right this moment, but I know it's my project car and I'm willling to work and sacrifice to get it where I want it. I won't be twin turboing or building the engine. At first I just wanna go single turbo 360-410bhp on stock bottom end and if I don't blow the engine I'll be more than happy with that.
  18. Just out of curiosity how much did boosting your Z put your insurance up by? I'm currently 20 and want to go down the FI route within the next few years, do you think I have any hope?
  19. I had this exact same problem, after months of searching for a cheap solution I opted for deleting the washers and everything that goes with them
  20. http://www.psituning.com/product.php/14468/wot_box_launch_control This works in the Zeds, I too was skeptical because of some horror stories online. But there's a few people on the forums who've had them for a year+ and they've never had issues. If you set it up correctly and follow all the instructions you won't have an issue. Even just spark cutting and letting the fuel flush through the cylinder in theory won't cause any damage.
  21. Haha okay your best bet is a remap then, I'm sure if you tell the Tech you want foot long flames they might advise against it but they'll do it. The only other mod you could do which I've just ordered it to install a WOT box, you can set these up in a number of ways I.E. it can cut ignition and fuel or in your case you can just cut ignition and let the fuel flow into the exhaust manifold I'm sure that'd get a few flames going. WOT Box would be the cheaper option of the latter but can be fairly difficult to install.
  22. I use Tesco Momentum 99 or Shells Nitro. Do they not supply decent fuel around you or are you just cheaping out on a few pence Also with decats and a good high flowing exhaust system you should end up with flames like me.
  23. It possibly would, if you asked the technician to map it so it dumps a little extra fuel on the overrun it 100% would. But that just bad practice and cheating Mine makes small blue flames every now and then when giving it some welly and shifting at about 5/6k rpm. But to make those kinda flames that you see in the video you have to rev it to the red line or just before.
