Assume you have spoken to Torqen or Tarmac Sportz?

Stability control will be a constant calculation using yaw rate, steer angle and wheel speed. It will intervene if it detects oversteer or understeer by applying brakes and cutting engine power. Can't answer for specifics on zeds, but that's the general idea.

If I wanted to keep it stock, I'd rip the rotted cat shields off (they can't fail on rot then can they) and then get an exhaust from any decent exhaust centre. I wouldn't touch a Nissan dealer with a barge pole because I wouldn't want to be paying their hourly rate. If its the CATs themselves that have rotted through and not the shields, I'd buy a used pair of CATs (off ebay or someone breaking a 370z) If I'm keeping it, I'm fitting HFCs and a sports cat back £1800 ~ £2000 budget.

Unfortunately 11 months until my MOT comes around again, but if they pass an MOT with ease I'll take a set 😎

Wheel cribs can be built from lengths of 2 x 4 in an afternoon. There is no excuse to go killing yourself.

Pretty sure the 350z doesn't have a smart alternator so it should charge continuously, ensure lights etc off and use a multimeter to test for 14v. If its 12v it isn't charging. With lights etc on it should still be circa 13v. If its low it might not be the alternator, you can try a voltage drop test between the alternator and the battery to see if its a wiring fault, corrosion etc.

Aim middle for diddle with any torque range, so 52 inch lbs. Inch lbs is small by the way, my 1/4 drive drive torque wrench is marked in inch lbs.

Nice wheels, welcome

+1 for clear

I don't know about 350zs but I've had electric motors on older cars where the grease inside the gears has been old thick and crusty; and after a a strip down, wash and new grease was fine. I've also had occasions where it's been tired and worn reed switches on the switch circuit board at fault not the motor or regulator. Also a failed capacitor on the circuit board.

7/16 - 20 UNF, in case anyone should ever want to know

The standard cats have a captive screw for fitting to the bracket that bolts across the underside of the transmission bellhousing. Hope I've explained that well enough. I've had to fit the standard cats back on as I've got one of those cars that just can't pass an MOT with 300 cel HFCs despite how hot I get it and how much cat/injector cleaner I put in the fuel. Best I've got the Co2 is 0.4%. My inspector is visibly willing it to pass every retest. Lamba and HC pass. I've put the standard CATs back on for a re-re-re-test but I can't find the nuts for the captive bolts. It looks close to an M10 but an M10 won't fit. Anyone know the size? Imperial maybe?

Good that it's sorted

If the steering still feels direct and not vague and all a bit meh, just heavy... after checking tyre pressures I'd tend to look at the pump personally Is the pump noisy or is the fluid a bit brown?

I've asked CoPilot and its suggested Nifty city should have an early model AC adaptor Copilot The Nifty City Tesla-style screen for the 2009–2021 Nissan 370Z does include all necessary wiring harnesses and mounting brackets for installation. However, for 2009–2011 models, a specific HVAC adapter is required to ensure the air conditioning system functions correctly. Unfortunately, the product page does not list a specific part number for the HVAC adapter. Instead, it mentions that the system is designed to be plug-and-play but may require minimal modifications for early models like yours. 🔧 What You Can Do: Contact SoCal Z or Nifty City directly via their product support page to request the HVAC adapter for 2009–2011 370Z models. Ask specifically for the AC control interface or adapter harness for early models. If you purchased the unit from them, they may provide the adapter at no extra cost or guide you to the correct part. Would you like help drafting a message to their support team or finding a reseller that includes the adapter?

Mine is a 2015 so didn't have a problem. I'll have a look at the wiring diagrams and see if I spot the differences on an 09.

I didn't have to cut any harness. There is a white plastic box attached to the bottom of the head unit which is the AC control. Have you reused this? You want to.

I fitted the one from AuCar a few months ago, they are all the same screen I think. This one. What problem have you got?

Is anyone running true coil overs and air cups for mainly street use? And if so what is your experience v full airlift? What brands did you choose? Thanks!

A really nice build ❤️ it

Or spend £42k on this instead.... Used DATSUN 260Z 1977 for sale - PistonHeads UK

Starting to get somewhere I'm happy with. Still can't make my mind up on a rear wing...
