  1. steve_b was and still is steve_bow on other forums.....

     

    Did not intend to hide as told people that was on this site and have made it clear on other thread that its was me.

     

    Just that steve-b beat me to it and I tried this as a different version.

     

    Steve

     

    That clarifies it, steve-b is steve-bow, but Steve-B is Steve-B :sorry:

  2. I have noticed that the common trend when advising newbies is to steer clear of JDM's and buy a UK car, because they are better.

     

    Let me just clarify one of the points.

     

    JDM's and UK models are made in the same factory and have Very minor differences. One of the more major of these is that JDM's consistantly have about 10hp MORE than UK models, due to differences in the ECU.

     

    If you are intending to modify your 350Z, I recommend that you buy a JDM, for this reason and the fact that it will be cheaper too ;)

     

    Now let the arguments commence :yahoo::thumbs:

  3. The traction control can actually cause you problems, if you are sliding sideways. If you are in this situation, sometimes the worst thing you can do is lift off! - which is exactly what the TC does.

    I had exactly this happen to me when exiting a roundabout, which had some kind of spill on the exit. The back end started coming out to the right and as i was correcting it, the TC kicked in, which made the back end immediately whip round to the left and nearly put me off the road.

    If I am driving "with spirit" I now turn the traction off.

  4. Sounds like the clutch to me mate, was it accompanied by a burning smell and/or a bit of clutch slip?

    The Zed will let you have a small amount of wheel spin, but only a little bit, unless you turn the traction control off of course :)

  5. I have a set of Steve-B vent trims and they are the dogs!

    They are easy to fit (I did it myself ;) ) and mine havent lifted at all!

     

    (Although I DID fit them with an epoxy - so they will NEVER lift)

     

    :D

  6. Hi guys,

     

    Some of you may remember that i was in the process of organising a group buy on the old site. I do not feel that the so-called "split" should stop any one from either site from benefitting from the the savings, so if any of you want a cheap, good quality Nismo type spoiler heres the story.

     

    My supplier is a guy called Terry Rees. He runs a car import business and through this he has located a source for cheap, good quality bodykits. One of the guys on here, Giffer (was roadster350z on the old site) has a spoiler from him and says it is top quality and comes in a Nismo box!

     

    Terry will supply the spoilers painted to match the colour of your car and delivered to a UK address for £265.

     

    If you want to avail of this Group buy, send terry payment either through paypal, or a cheque by post to the following:-

     

    Paypal:- t.rees1@virgin.net

     

    Postal:-

    Mr Terry Rees

    18, Beechcroft

    Glynbargoed Rd

    Trelewis

    Treharris

    CF46 6BP

     

    If paying by paypal, please add your name, postal address and car colour to the comments box. If paying by cheque/post, please add a letter with the same information.

     

    Please note also that you are part of the 350Z group buy with Eddie McCool

     

    Cheers

     

    (I've got mine ordered and can't wait to get it on the car :) )
