  1. Yeah, I'm not going there anymore since I've got rid of stock exhaust. They failed 'stock?'  McLaren 570s on static test in front of me...

     

    While ago I was black flagged in my almost stock CRX, it was hitting V-TEC just before and after last hairpin, just next to the mic lol...

     

    These days I just got Doni or Snetterton, I don't bother to do static, very relaxed on drive by, and amazing tracks. Much better than Bedford imo

  2. Lots to ask, but... Turns out I'm stupid and I assumed V-power is as standard as in UK and Europe... Just tuned my Z at Horsham this week on RON 99 from shell, wanted to make sure I make it for the bash...

     

    Now, came all the way from ldn, and can't find shell petrol station??

    Apparently they only have diesel and 95 here!!!! What???

     

    Is there anyone with any connections to source stock 350z ECU in Ireland (best in close proximity to Mondello Park) ?

    I can't even express how awesome that would be! 

  3. Decided to take a risk... worst case, i'll get a new engine @ the price of Greddy pan ;) 

    Anyways, so far so good.  Did a trip to SantaPod DWYB, sent it and went back. No leaks/cracks etc. :yahoo:

     

    Quality seems very good, it's a heavy item (almost 3kg). Fitment is perfect, much bigger then stock, clears nicely in place.

  4. Hi, all Torqen BBK users. I'm considering the upgrade mostly for the track use. Did anyone tracked the car with this kit , how does it hold back ?  Any critical failures ?

    Any feedback appreciated ! 

  5. Anyone tried this ?
     

    ebay-link

     

    150 quid at time of this post, it's bigger and over 2x cheaper than cast aluminium greddy...

     

    I don't care about what label stuff has,  only concern is quality (it's not very critical part, +++ OEM is f*cking rusting  == no quality already) 

    If someone is running this and did + 10k miles, i'll take it :)

    I had no idea a simple advert would cause such a stir! 🤨

     

    I honestly just and only asked does anyone have a spec for this JR product ;) 
    Other than that, think it's just a good conversation, but true in wrong section haha

    I have TarmacSportz wheels spacers on mine, taken the car on track several times and can report no issues. Granted I didn't go round at 8/10, however harder than you'd sensibly ever push on road. I'd have no problem in buying the OP items if I were after a pair of 25mm. 

    That's some good info :thumbs:

    A spacer is a spacer

    This is very shallow statement.  would you ever consider plastic spacer ? material used and forging matters.
    Think there was forged Eibach PRO spacer... where others are only CNC'd shitty aluminium blocks ... 
    (don't have exact details..).
    Anyways i'm running on eibach atm, they take serious beating at track/drift and holding well. But need another set, so considering this one.

    This is sort of spec I'm looking for...

    Well I’ll have some ketchup with that hat please....

     

    just pulled this of the car.
     

    cracked!! but they do have a horrible life down there. After a pull with full launch and Als and the bells and whistles, they glow White for a couple of minuttes before coming back from the melting point.

     

    I’ll machine the flanges again, and hope their done bending for now.

    and get those cracks welded back up.

    but still. This is repairable. My old Gtm castiron was scrap when they cracked.

    Do you have this mani in CAD by any chance ?

    I recently posted a set of Rays with tyres, was £40 with Paisley Freight. 

     

    Packaging materials cost me about £20 because I had to buy boxes for the insurance to be in effect. I also had to 'customise' the boxes to make them fit and packing took about 2 hours in total. 

     

     

    I'd pay extra for your packaging @SteveW  - it's an art in itself !!

    Well atleast you can rule out majority of stuff then as coolant oil, exhaust fumes are very distinct, perhaps power steering fluid? that can give off a pretty strange smell if you’re not sure, if you e just been on a track day could be your clutch slave has given up and boiled? clutch feel a little lower etc? 

    Thanks for hint,  i didn't thought of slave cylinder, I'll  have to check, clutch is the same bad (it wasn't great when i got the car, main bearing is definitely up for replacement).

    As with power steering - i think that's a close call, as i had impression it was affected - but could be track time beating... I'll flush ATF to see for any improvements.

    I’ve had similar smell on my old 200sx after track days. Ended up being the gearbox oil getting too hot. Fluid change sorted it. 

    Interesting, I actually changed gearbox and diff oils two weeks ago.  But well could be cooked, i don't know what actual  condition is my gearbox (shift nicely). Wondering could i overfill it (almost not possible, due to filler placement, hmm)

    Propane is odourless so need a better description than that. :lol:

     

    If you've been on a track day, it'll be something burning so... tyres, brakes, clutch, or any of your fluids (oil/coolant/clutch etc).

     

    I'd go with tyres i think.

    Lol, indeed !  You got me google it, apparently 'rotten eggs' smell from propane/butane is added on purpose to detect leaks ... Nice learning everyday :) 
    Can't be tyres, as it appeared this morning after 5mins in traffic... other substances you mentioned are very distinct, it's nothing like it. 

     

     

     

    This is so annoying, i prefer leaks ;) at least you can see them ...

    I just replaced my Nissan badged centre pieces for some "Zed" ones I bought. They came off my rays but I'm not too sure they are the ones you're after. Unfortunately, they've also been sprayed black.

    I need the one with 'Z' on it ... but painted in black would be perfect. Thanks anyways mate ! 

  13. I found many threads, all not quite what i experience. I'd call it a 'gas', something like propane ... first appears on drivers side.

    Started yday after track day... on my way home. Now it just comes and goes, i can smell it when i'm cruising at low speeds, stopping, reversing. I'd say if it's cat burning something, i definitely burned all on track day ;) but it was all fine then and prior that.

    • definitely not a clutch - I had those before i know when it's burning
    • definitely not oil leaking on exhaust and burning  - had that in few bimmers ;)

    Under the hood i can't trace to any source, it's rather more in the cabin or the passenger recognised it when opened door - i couldn't at the same time... it's very strange.
