  1. hi every one ,i hope you enjoyed the show as much as i did .

    i tried to get down eary on sat for the show and shine but could make it till late on sat so me and the better half just parked up at the hotel and hit the pubs around peterbrough till late hours on sunday :thumbs: .

    my car was parked up across on the epr racing stand (jeff had asked me to show it the stand )

    sorry if i didnt talk to every one as iam only shy (you wouldnt think so the size of me ) and both of us were a little hung over .

    Val iam thinking of which bank to rob to pay for the turbo kit like kevin has on hes Envy z or sell the wife into slavery and go for a forged engine with 4.2 stroker kit :D

  2. hello i have a second hand frount bumper skin for a uk models , complete with nissan badge fitted , a few scuffs on it (could do with a coat of paint )

    i bought it to have a go a making a custom frount end for my Z but due to lack of time and needing some space in my garage i need to get rid .

     

    bumper is Free to any 350z-uk member but is pick up only due to size

     

    i live in the north east not far from darlington

     

    PM me in any one is interested

  3. Hello Ross , nice to have a new 350z owner "up north" with me and big Phill .

    my car is also a import for over a year now and had no problems with it .

    Ive had virous jap imported cars with no problems at all , i think its comes down to each persons choice.

    i went the inport route as they are cheaper than uk models apart from a few minor things .

    just go for the best spec/condtion for your buget .

  4. big phill was doing a deal for dba disks for frount and back with uprated pads/braided lines and new fluid , i cant remeber how much it was but it seemed a good deal . youll have to pm him direct for a price .

    ive had a look at them fitted to hes car and they look very nice , ideal for track or fast road drivers and phill said that they transform the brakes !

     

    ps iam not being paid by phill

    :p

  6. Hi ive used federal tryes before on the rear of my supra turbo , they had good grip in both wet and dry and i had the car up to 170mph (not on public road before any body has a go at me ) and no probs at all .

    they dont seem to have a big name in the uk but seem to be a big brand in the usa

     

    ive also used kumo tyres before on a celica and was very impressed with them for the price :thumbs:

  7. Hi ive had 3 supras 2 of them were turbos .

    i had no major problems at all with any of them :thumbs:

    . the last one i had was a 94 imported model i ran IT for 2 years as a every day car . i only sold it to help pay for the 350z .

    As for moding i would look for a stanard car and then carry out the mods your self as there is a lot out there that people had just stuck all sorts of crap extras on and it will kill the car even with them being tough as boots.

    For big power outputs then go for single large turbo

    For good every day power go for uprated twin turbos

  8. the led rear lights i had fitted were the lexus style lamps . the car was probley running rough to teach me a lesson for fitting them :thumbs:

     

    ive talked to my local main dealer and they have had problems with blown lamps etc causing problems on the other nissan models but none so far on the 350z they have looked after .

  9. Hello again , just a quick update .

    ive fixed the problem after many hours and trying all sorts :angry:

    the problem was down to the resistence of the after market led rear lights i had fitted !!!!

    the lights were afecting the can bus system on the car ..i only thought to try this after a frend had fitted a led rear brake lamp to hes new bmw motor cycle that also uses a can bus system ,it was afecting the injection control system and making hes bike run very rough .

    ive refitted the standard rear lights and she running sweet as a nut now :yahoo:

  10. If you go to your local trade auto paint stockist , they will make up a spray can in the right colour for you .

     

    The sensour system is easy to fit , ive done about 10 so far for freinds and famly members .

     

    I fitted a 8 sensor system to my mother people carrier (4 frount 4 back) the kit also came with a 3" lcd type screen , which show have far in cm away from the object and where in relation to the car it was , is was a bargin i think i only payed £50 of ebay and that included postage .

  11. Hi again , ive been out in the car and tryed turning off the VDC button (i couldnt find any others to turn off) but no change at all

    is your trip computer set to low (speed limiter) I had the same when i first drove mine but i just increased the limit

     

    iam not sure what this is , the rev shift light is set to 6600rpm but would the trip comp afect any thing?

    PS my car is a imported model

  12. It happens at differnt engine speeds but many when the engine under load , if you potter around town all is ok.

     

    the car has virous minor mods but it was running ok with all of them .

     

    no ecu warring lights or any warrning lights have come up on dash
