It was time to prep for a 2000 mile trip through Europe and back for Ultrace First up was the o2 sensor that was throwing a code and then was a replacement ac unit as the clutch was broken on the last one - unfortunately there's a leak elsewhere in the system which I didn't have time to fix before the trip (it was hot) there'll be updates on the rest of the trip soon

Iirc its just adding a vent hole for the condensation

Depo are good - you have to do a small mod to them to stop the fogging though

Hi, Was wondering if you had info on what discs are compatible with the Monster kit as I'm struggling to find something floating in a 356mm

Following on from my last post I went for an alignment after playing with my suspension. Everything is mostly straight now however my front upper control arms despite being adjustable are seized to the point where I'm going to need to replace them in order to run the specs I'm after

For the longest time my ride heights been a little funny, the front being way higher than the back. So I bought the right C-Spanners from BC and adjusted it... At first we made it far too low, I loved the way it looked at this height but I was scraping on any change in the road surface (RIP flexies) So I went back in and fixed it (about an inch lower than original and 1.5" higher than the too low) - while in there I found that one of the previous owners had overdone the preload by over 2"s lol - so I reset that to the BC recommended 5mm - so as well as ride height looking a lot better my ride quality has vastly improved too. I set my rebound to 5 clicks stiff of centre in the front and dead centre in the rear unfortunately compression on nearly all of the struts is seized so I can't adjust that for now.

lol you're welcome to buy mine after I get something else

Had this for a while but forgot to post it on here, my custom show plate the kanji on the bottom left is a "Z" the word up top says Nissan, 34 because its a Z34 and 370 for obvious reasons. I'd really like a different spoiler - something more like the one my friend with the skyline has in this pic - anyone got any recommendations?

The bonnets lighter so you need to push it down a little while pulling the catch to open, imo there's 3 points of contact up front so I feel pretty confident in it not lifting, but others probably have different opinions Install is definitely a two person job but its straightforward otherwise something to think about is how you intend on doing the window washers as I don't have any atm

Bonnet upgrade, the seibon bonnet on the car being painted really bothered me and since I didn't feel like stripping the paint off and seeing what was underneath I ordered a very aggressive and imo better style of vented bonnet. I picked this one not only because I liked the way it looked but also that the louvers on it and the placement make sense aerodynamically to pull more hot air out of the engine bay and hopefully pull cold air through the rad and coolers. Theoretically (because there's no wind tunnel testing for this bonnet) the louvered design will create a low pressure zone over the vents resulting in the air being pulled out of the engine bay as well as creating a little bit of downforce. What steered me away from the ams and seibon styles was that the vent placement made no sense for cooling. Overall, install was pretty straightforward with the help of Ballistic, fitment was genuinely really good for a carbon part, the only problem was one of the latch threads was damaged when installing but a quick tap and its on

So for me it happened at around half a tank so I'd guess around there - on public roads I've never found that limit even on spirited drives. Tracks are much higher Gs I guess, Z1 Motorsports makes a kit which I'll do later down the line, if I'm still committed to tracking the car by the time its in the budget ;(

Shortly after my visit to HDev I attended JapFest and had a short blast on track- the car feels great in the straights however a couple issues are still prevelent and I ran into a problem I found out about after being on track - the 370z's fuel surge issue I went out there with just under a half tank - meaning on the RH turns the fuel pump was being starved. Seen the kits go for £800+ so I doubt I'll be fitting one anytime soon and will just top up my tank before going out on track from now on. I also am still experiencing some wheel wobble at speed and harsher wobble under acceleration. I'm plan to lower the front suspension a tad for better fitment and then get an alignment and start looking into swapping out a lot of my brake parts.

Results - I've included both the power graph and the air/fuel - boost graph too Overall it meets my original expectation from when I first bought the car around mid-4s, still very strong numbers out of this kit 467 isn't bad at all and I will be back to Hdev at some point with goals to climb towards the mid-5s Overall the power looks to be super linear and the torque curve looks nice and flat which is definitely a positive for how I intend to drive the car

Considering the kit is from Z1 you'd likely find it cheaper to buy from Z1 directly - usually their stuff is quite good anyway

The car from the beginning was giving me an intermittent limp mode issue, it wasn't very often in the beginning, but became more and more frequent, all 4 fault codes it was throwing was pointing towards one thing and unfortunately it is a fault with the stillen supercharger kit. Luckily for me Horsham Developments make a replacement loom for the throttle body and they fixed the issue quickly, as well as my exhaust leaks. I do have the say the new loom not only fixed the issue but also looks a lot nicer, so massive shout out to them. While I was there and now the car was running better than ever we decided to do a dyno run to see if the 530hp I was told when I bought the car was a fib like I thought it was...
