rather than calling me a scammer why not ask me direct - the plate is mine and I am really fcuked off tht some site is offering to sell it when clearly I own it.

And I am a little pi**ed someone is calling me a scammer too - check facts out first, loads of members from the other board actually know me, know I own it and have seen me on teh road with it.

230 is what I am being quoted, I really hate teh way stealers charge such ridiculous rates for labour and parts - it is a crime and for what, a poxy stamp so when some tyre kicking tee-wat comes to buy your car in the future they can go oooooh (nasal sound) you missed a stamp in your service book.

can anyone give me an indication of what to expect to pay for the P2 service?

thanks

the valet key as you call it will start car (think it was mentioned) but I find it always sets the alarm off even if you opened the doors with it!

Simply turn the ignition to 1 for it to turn off should you ever use it.

112mph if you got a jdm (and no derestrictor)

is that it, I feel so stupid now though in my defence it did come to me whilst I was starting this thread.

a stupid question but what does MY stand for as in MY06 and MY03

oh wait as I just wrote it, does it mean Model Year

I must get a copy of this, never really bought owt other than Top Gear and Whatcar for ages.

Having seen his car it is ace, really nice set up and his reaction to boiling the brake fluid at hullavington was something else

Nice bloke and nice car!

work in North star area so thats cool

About to book my service, based in Chippenham area but work in Swindon so planning to use Fish Brothers in Swindon - any feedback or alternate recommendations in the area?

Thanks

cheers these are bloody simple calipers, no more swearing and twatting em with a hammer in the freezing cold to get them off (yes the hammer was required first time the pads on the granada had been changed in prob 10 years!)

had the quote back and am happy

already decided against disc upgrade and just going for fluid/hoses and due to price am going to fit redstuff front/yellow stuff rears for now

Hi all

I dare say this has been done and I have searched (honest)...

Does anyone have a comprehensive guide to changing the pads front and rear?

Also as I've seen a few mishaps with the jacking points, what is the recommendation for location of stands?

Thanks lads

Bob @ RJN motorsports did mine, fluid-disks-pad-brake line

They are really good and you can see some real sorted 350Z.

They were cheaper than getting it done at a dealership.

Ask him if he will do discount for 350z-uk members.....should be okay.

Very close to Williams F1 team at Grove so not too far.

thanks They are a nice drive down the a4 from here

With regards to the disc's which ones did you go for as I'm about to email them? I'm betting my standard ones are more than adequate (for me) so will prob just go for the pads, fluid and lines instead, if you dont mind me asking what did the cost come to?

cheers

these cost much much much much less than the 10k quoted and are basically just a disc and pad replacement

the issue really is the bloody fluid boiling and I'm no track hero either!

anywhere recommended in the chippenham/bristol/southwest area that does the stainless lines and fluid?

I asked this on another forum but there wasnt much opinion (thats not slagging them off though!)

To make anything quicker you're best making it stop faster too

So with this in mind I'd been looking at a metal ceramic kit that fits the Skyline (correct me if I am wrong we have the same brembos and similar discs?)

As they are metal they should resist wearing fast, few friends with porsche have had complaints the breaks didnt fade but they wore stupidly quick

Anyone got any opinions on ceramic (metal mix) discs - of course using the ceramic matched pads?

The other question is really about whether its worth it, the brakes seem brilliant BUT I find I need to do a prime press first then the main press to get the best result (think I may have boiled the fluid on a recent track day instead of coming in I took a few extra laps...) Any recommendations on upgraded fluids and the red stuff pads?

thanks for that, I will look at the HKS system based on your personal recommendations

One thing I have noticed is some get bad reports for the clattery noise they make, I presume with a self contained cooling/lube system this isnt the case on HKS (as you said, just need clarification)

Also I'm happy with stock exhaust, would the system work ok? I'm not wanting to change too much at first so basically stick the HKS on, does it really require an intercooler or as its good at keeping a low temp is the intercooler really not needed?

sorry for being thick but how do you find out what codes are being sent?

Can I hook my laptop up to the diags port? If so what do I need to do this?

who is reputable and trusted for an SC install? Are that nissan dealer in mersyside any good?

What SC is recommended for the Z?

I keep seeing comments on how the torque delivier is changed drasitcally with the SC but does it mean its worse low down or is it just flat but much more of it? How does it translate in road driving?

correct it doesnt

just a 300 quid postage fee

ok pm me your address and bank details and I'll sort out the transfer

heh, wanna transfer?

he sounds like a to55err so I'll swap

w3nkrs the lot of you
