WOW things have moved on

Agree, Agree, Agree neither myself or Dorian would be able to say if the SC is OK as they all vary immensely, what I was suggesting, if your heart is set on this car, that prior to inspection you have it put on a dyno at a respected tuners who would be able to give a plot of all readings and most importantly AFR mine was running 16:1, however I still believe that the someone has looked at this car for performance as one of the pictures does show a AEM gauge which again this wouldn't be fitted for bling. The noise thing is spot on, it does clatter, chatter whatever, and you do get used to the noises, BTW my oil at the moment is being changed approx every 300miles 10w50 it gets changed when the clatter gets louder with an attributed lumpy idle. ......and IMHO Dorians first and last lines are spot on, do it yourself, don't buy this car too many unknowns, and sorry to whoever owns it

Christ defiantly from London , anywhere above watford is up north. Notts to Newcastle about 3hours if it's newcastle pm bigphil he may be able to help

Where up North?

I think you can get away with just having the V1 if you choose whereas the V2 needs the rest of the V2 kit to compliment so it doesn't look like a chavvy whale tail Have to disagree there mate

Need to type quicker Looks like he's already dropped £5K off price Sorry RAC is waste of time, needs to go to someone like Abbey, TDI or WRCT

TBH the install that steve did would be first class, only downside he never had it tuned or put it on a dyno, from the photos it looks like someone has spent some time and care taking it to the next stage, but it looks like two people have done the work one for show off and one for performance, note the silicon tube forcing the air up to the filter (not a mod you would do for looks), cusco strut bar ((bling) but expensive bling) and the gauge pods F&F IMO performace wise you wouldn't mount them there. But my biggest concern would be history, if this can be provided and can be verified then yes go for it, Oh but IMO it's not worth anymore than £20K

Yes, IIRC it's had 2 owners since Steve, he only put about 1000 miles on it from new LOL kitted it with the vortech then sold up, so looks like 25000 miles have no history, again IIRC a 17/18 year old bought it off steve.

see http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4576&highlight= Not real problems just teething issues which I'm still trying to sort 14months on - oil leaks, fuel leaks, excessive noise due to oil temperature, belts squealing, pullies out of line etc, etc, as for the vortech it is a great bit of kit for the money, just make sure if you are buying a car with any type of FI on it get all the history, check then double check it and before pushing it take it to a trusted tuner and have it remapped for your own piece of mind, and if you can't find any history or not from a trusted source I personally wouldn't buy it, just do it yourself, example Base car - £13K - £16K Vortech - £3000 Installation £600 Extras/Contingency £500 You then know the history of the FI and you'll have piece of mind knowing you're the only one to put real stresses on the internals. I presume you're looking at Steveb's old car

Agree with limits, height but width should be increased and also believe this should apply to photos as well, it's a right bitch when I have to keep scrolling left to right to read a post. you're not the only one flaunting it

Nice sig Surely not within regulation 3.2.4.1 stating sigs have to be 500 x 100 Can I ask why you've set it at 500x100 my writings too small now Also how come mr minel got away with 500x105 sorry

Sorry mate not I, tempted but hadn't had tme to fix all problems.

Yes, it's the way this car should have been

Cheers Mate

Looking at the photos, I think upper and lower plenum are now plastic, so installation would need quite a bit of modification, would have to see one to be 100% http://jimwolftechnology.com/vq35hr/index.htm but there's always a way

Does anyone have a pic of a 350 with just a nismo rear? I dont mind if you dont have the V2, just to see how it could possibly look for now Thanks Best I can do at the mo, few years old now, not great photos wheels are crap

Sorry missed this, to confirm this is not me. Also not sure how much difference it makes but these are only 8awg cables, my cable manufacturer only recommended I use 4awg, this is why I can only supply in matt/silver grey. Hope this helps

no lets get this right you have some audio cables made up to like a grounding kit yeah right, as if that's not what you are using Optronics are 100% power cables.......... But you could very successfully use then as audio cables

no lets get this right you have some audio cables made up to look like a grounding kit

Just to confirm that is one of my kits, and yes Optronics is the brand name for our rear view systems and soon to be launched ICE. It is a bargain and if I wasn't such a nice guy I'd be buying it myself

Nope

:bye: Sorry mate I thought I'd PM'd you You've got mail As pointed out some will some won't personally I believe it's down to how well the ecu is grounded. As for testing now my cars running I will in the next week or so do some tests and post the results

I only paid £240 to have my new clutch fitted and new thrust bearing is only £20 so might as well replace it, if not being done under warranty. BTW this was done by a nissan dealer. Prices + VAT

I would have thought about £2K less, must admit the TT is a tidier setup and the vortech is noisy but I didn't want the aggressive TT feel Cheers allan for clarification

Cheers guys it's took a while but definitely worth it clutch going in next and then need to find a way to stop her brembos & HP+ are just not up to it Rob don't have the figures but on my previous two dyno runs transmisson loss was 16.5% and 17% so would have thought approx 337 @ Wheels
