Ebized

She is lighter than the spacesaver so not a lot of help there and anyway she keeps threatening me that if I keep driving it like I stole it I'll be on my own in Wales

they're not pink they're anodised red, which happens to come out with a very slight lighter shade of red Sir! I just looked up the definition of pink and it says " pale reddish colour" and when a woman says pink, pink it is Nuts apart the wheels look great - but tell you what how about pink calipers to match your nuts

Is that due to the back end being lighter Colin? Possibly, but I now have spacesaver installed so I have upped the car's overall weight - but its a 'seat-of-the-pants' thing when you just know the torque being pushed through to the rear wheels is far superior - something I never felt with the 296 over the 276. If, and its a big 'IF', the Stillen has added an extra 18 bhp then the 370 is knocking on 350bhp - whether that is the case or otherwise it certainly feels a lot more power is available

Glad to hear no-one was badly hurt and another case where the passenger compartment of a ZED has obviously stood up well to the impact - thankfully for you. Hope that might tempt you into replacement 350 or even a 370 roadster

Was out yesterday having a play of some of my favourite roads, and oh boy this 370 has some grunt and does she like to shake her ar$e off the line - far more than I ever experienced with both the 350's. The pull through the whole rev change is awesome and at the time I was thinking those with shares in Shell will be doing very nicely I expect the syncro rev match is not helping on consumption but it is joy to use now I can use the full rev range - you just go looking for downshifts and with the Stillen barking - oooooooh I'm luving it But on getting back from a 120 mile or so round trip the computer said 24.8 mpg which I thought was brilliant with less than 2500 miles on the clock and having spent much of the drive giving it the Ebized leaded right foot workout.

Try http://www.h-dev.co.uk/index2.php?page=home Based at Chieveley, Berks. Ask for Jez - he is a 350 owner on this forum

Looks like ZMANALEX will up his game now sequential + AWD + that mega bhp - that is one very quick ZED (or what is left of one)

wimp so you wont have he pleasure of seeing burnsie being silly ah! - so there is another reason for not staying overnight

But you get a lot of these in compensation:-

not much, now it is run in

true...but i v got a full gt spec bracing under the car...30 waaaaaay too low!!!! 20-25 at best...thanks for the input anyway Looks like the Welsh roads are being regraded in May

Ask no questions you will hear no lies first off the rear spring is OE in design, meaning the spring sits exactly where the stocker sits. as far as height adjustment goes for the rear, there is an adjustable perch on the rear spring as well as a collar on the shock. you must adjust the shock with the sping to maintain proper shock travel--ie when you move the spring perch a few turns, lower the shock a few turns. in the front you just lower the shock body as the springs come preloaded from hks. if you are not coner balancing then just leave the preload alone. as for the shock setting adjustment. the fronts are at the top of the strut and is changed with a supplied allen wrench. the rear adjustment is made by a knob on the lower part of the rear shock. this is easy for me as i have stock brakes and lmgt4's--this allows me to stick my hand through the open part of the wheel and turn the knob. install is easy. the front struts are pre-assembled. the rest is very similar to any other spring/shock install that you can find in DIY section. the only thing i recommend is if you are going to lower the rear a lot then do the perch adjustment before you install it as it is difficult to access once installed. Hope that helps as an English translation for the fitting instructions - well haystack and needle come to mind

* their end that is - not ours! I don't know about our end being organised, did you see how many people had to try and help Shire put that flag up!!!! Chris managed it in a fraction of the time on his own, and his was straight!!! james hasn't been on the course we can't tear him away from modding his ZED

Base model (the 18" wheels are the give-away) - they seem to be far more prolific in the US than here.

You all guessed wrong - the answer is in the posts near the bottom - if you believe it "350z Guy says: April 11, 2010 at 2:52 pm Hilarious. Somebody showed me this website. I am the owner of the 350z on the bottom. I was parked and the Camry was reversing on the other side of that island. I’m not sure what happened, but he suddenly gassed it quickly and he accelerated over the center median which acted as a ramp and it hopped onto my car. I’m the guy in the hoodie."

Love to comment on your work, but sorry, that crumble is toooooooooooooooooooooooo distracting

He's lurking again Gone all shy on us

Cheers Mart BTW, the link in your first post does not seem to work now - I used the one on page 5 to find the details

Yep W/M, but do not use a fabric conditioner. They seem to tumble dry OK, but prefer to air dry, when the weather allows

Further to my call Mart - can you book June, me and the 370 in We will probably drive over to meet you at the Premier Inn for 7am - an early start but at least I will have a clear head without having to keep up with you boozy lot the night before

Nicely preped - good luck and let us know how you got on

Just gets better and better James - your attention to detail is second to none Looking forward to seeing the car in Wales - just hope the weather is kind Bet that bulge you are now sporting gets you a bit more attention too

Nissan US supply oil coolers (at a quite a price) but I have read that owners have then had issues with getting the oil temp up to anything near working temperature when not on track or during cold weather So far I have not seen anything above 94 and that included some 'spirited' driving in Wales - and it mostly hovers around 88-90. So unless some serious track work is envisaged or climate change means we get US temperatures, I don't see it being an issue here, but that does not mean I will not be keeping an eye on the oil temp guage. In fact, as the digital light system for water temperature is less informative than the guage in the 350 I will be regularly checking what the oil temp is doing, particuarly in warmer weather.

Wudster (45), BennyH (29), AmyZed (27) Many happy returns guys and Amy have a great one

Happy birthday andlid - 100 today - you kept that quiet you old fart - makes me feel all young again Steady on the egg flip and lemonade now, otherwise you might fall out of that
