  1. learnt a long time ago that the zed is not NA mod friendly. i've set my bench mark and i've nearly reached it and thats where i'm stopping.
  2. And little gain on a normal NA Z car... yes but the noise is
  3. no worries. my guess is that there won't be anyone there. and it will all be shut up. but we live in hope
  4. i think the trick is to keep the original throttle body still wired up but use a throttle cable, that way you can use the original ECU but won't see all the gains unless you use a stand alone. some on there seem to have done a jenvey setup for about $3500 but the tuning it all in seems to be the hard part.
  5. right have now sent messages via facebook, ebay, and their website again i'm just trying to retrieve my original cover and i'll leave it at that. ian if you could pop in and they are able to find my engine cover i'm happy for you to collect it and i'll pay you to ship it back to me if needs be.
  6. i love the sound of ITB's but its not worth the cost for the minimal gains but for an idea of what our cars would sound like here are some of the vq35 engine fitted in another car with ITB's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REOVkFz5qHc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVu7rIhUBcY
  7. just looked for the recipt and found it but there is no date on it. car was written off on the 24th of Aug 2007 i purchased it myself on like the 1st or there abouts of september 2007 if it was a write off it would be unlikely to do all the repairs in 7 days. although not impossible
  8. or the tommy kaira ones http://www.350z-tech.com/forums/153-int ... odies.html droooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll but apparently not available and the price of something like $30k
  9. i love ITB's they are available for the Zed but mucho expensive http://www.z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuse ... rentCat=28

    i know what husky is fitting and i think we'll all know when he's driving as the planet will spin quicker they'll have that much grip they'll be resurfacing the roads behind him
  11. thats a proper "oh sh1t" moment
  12. the ones you do up with a spanner still come off fairly easily. i'm using the richbrook anti theft ones. the have a rotating collar round them and a special tool to put them on with. if you try and take them off without the key the collar just free spins. anything can be stolen though, just depends how determined the thief is. but these should deter the majority of the opportunists
  13. i know the stuff your refering to i have it at home, used it on a few bits for other people looks good
  14. never been hit by a car, but plenty of students i teach i'd happily mow down if given the chance
  15. i'm going to be selling my carbon skinned B pillars soon as i want to match them in with other DI-noc stuff i have. these aren't stick on covers so won't fly off.
  16. I decided to be original and ordered red look forward to seeing them
  17. i think your right. for most people a black one should work, and be almost invisible on the wheel
  18. fitting the first one is the hardest, once you get the knack of it all the others are easy
  19. isn't there only 2 miles of tarmac on the island, and everyone rides a bike; i'm surprised neither of you have seen each other.
  20. was about to suggest the same thing. i need to ring them to as i need to book in for a remap.
  21. TGM always have good feedback, local dealers tend to be useless, i personally value a good independent garage service history over a FMSH if all the receipts are there. i keep everything, i also run a spreadsheet with the date, mileage, cost and description of everything done. when i sell it i will put it all together with all the receipts to back up the work. did it with previous cars and it generally makes them easier to sell as its very evident of the care and time taken on the car.
  22. You can post your ECU off to abbey and they can drop a new map on it to make better use of the mods. its not as good as having the car there, but better than not at all
  23. even if i just get back my old engine cover, at least i can do something with it. will try the ebay route and facebook route tonight
  24. done can just picture the steam coming out of his ears if he gets trounced
  25. saw one near me. its huge its the fat daddy porsche
