Steer clear away, the invoice he has for the work done on the engine is fake. 

 

Hi, I was looking at this and I have also discovered this. 

Thanks for the message, I may alert the Facebook group with my suspicions 

Ready to see a Z go for a crazy amount? Unsure if this was posted here already.

Hi, after some advice, I am currently looking at a Z that has had a forged engine and wondered how much power it is good for, if anyone knows a ballpark figure. 

Forged engine by Z1 Motor Sport consisting of ....

Wiseco pistons piston ring set.

eagle rods with cap with optional super A Carillo rods.

Nissan OEM gasket kits ( cosmetic head gaskets).

ACL Engine bearings ( rod main thrust ).

ARP Head and main stud kits.

Z1 Viton Valve Seals.

Z1 Plenum spacer.

Organic fast road clutch.

Thanks

Alex

Yeah, seen this loads, this garage has had this for around 3-4 months. Could be worth a lowball offer. 

Found this while scrolling through 350z stuff on ebay, super nice example.

Hi, I have searched on the forum for the following question but couldn't find it. I live in Norfolk and there isn't an uprev licensed vendor close to me (as far as I know) and would like to remap my car, is there any downside using a closer remapping vendor with a dyno? I have an 04 DE so I can't get multiple maps. What other downsides are there?

Trying to weigh up the pros and cons and seeing if it's worth the trip down to abbey/horsham.

Err wrote off after leaving for a quote? do tell. I think they will go up to 2/3rds the value of the car before they write it off so at £4795 that would put value of car at about £7200. I think it is but once you take of the modifications which are not insured its a 17 year old low mileage JDM 350z, not sure if they would see it that way.

 

I finally heard back from guy at the pig farm place today, they are accepting liability for it and their insurance company will be in touch with me so that's good news. Also I can deal direct with them without getting my insurance company involved, more good news as there will be no claim through my insurance. He even said to make sure its done by a reputable firm who does good work, even if it costs more, there will be no complaints from them but don't use East Bilney he said. Maybe he has heard something about them. So it looks like it will get sorted by them in time, I am feeling a bit better about it now but I'm still gutted about it.

Glad to see it's looking up, sad to hear about your Z, it's a cracking car.

Unfortunately I am at a wedding this weekend so cannot make it. Driving to Wales in the Z on Friday.

Weird, I'm 20 with 1 year NCB, 2 yeard driving experience. Mods declared (admiral) £909. 

Darn, missed this one, following the post now. How was the meet? Any pics?

Hi mate, are these still for sale? 

Great post, just finished reading it, I'm a long way off being able to get FI installed by myself (a lot to learn) and a lot to save up on for insurance!
Sad to hear about your tyre, you scared me and I thought the engine blew.

Hi, I think I will be able to make it, just looked at my flight time and I will be back around 2pm, been way too long since I drove my z (1 week) and would love to meet you guys, where abouts on the front is the meet starting and what time? I see discussion about it above but would like clear guidance as it’s around an hour and a bit drive for me.  

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow

I should have this in stock mate.

Good to hear, please can you PM me a link to your website, or post it here.

Thanks

Hi, after a tachometer for my 350z as my mileage screen has decided to pack up on me. 

Part in question (just incase):

My car had around 70k miles on so anything with close to that amount of miles would be a bonus   however not a big deal.

Let me know what you have.

I would but I'm going to SantaPod that day. I am from Norwich, if you want to do something another day, shoot me a PM!

Welcome to the OC! Hope you enjoy every moment and keep us posted with your mods and car shows! 

Thanks, I used to goto JapShow when I was little with my dad, now I might take him there

Hello everyone, I am new here, I bought my 350z yesterday and can't drive it until the first

I'm a 20 year old software developer and will be going out in it at midnight. I looked at a few and this one was from an honest commuter, has around 90k miles on the clock.

Hopefully this should also allow me to work on cars and understand more how they work, I am a newbie to Z's and done some basic work (servicing myself) but nothing major. Would love to learn more.

Anyway, enough about me, here she is!
