get12

You my friend are a LEGEND i think the ages are as some of you said becoming more of a range now, Im 26 got my First Z at 25, my Brother is 33 and got his recently. I think its a car that is appreciated over all ages. perhaps the reason for why there is an increasing number of younger owners is down to the price being made somewhat affordable to some. However in contrast if we were to do the average age of Z owners in the States i think it will be quite the contrast I had you down as mid-thirties oh yeah more Phil Mitchell than Vinnie - you know what im on about I was 35 when I got both me Z's (36 this Thursday ) G

Sorry I didnt see this post when I last commented. You provide the Boxster S and I promise to run rings round you. ....is that with or without a supercharger?

Whoa! One at a time please - I cant handle all these offers - if it carries on im going to have to do a Zedrush and make a mint selling them on fleabay:lol:

The Noise. The End. I thought as much (not even an incie-wincie bit of increase in performance???!!!)

Hi there, Can someone remind me of the benefits of installing a Nismo zorst?? G.

.......I think this is a really good idea - gives you the chance to give something back to the community as a whole!!!

...doing well aren't they - might consider putting mine on e-bay - money for the Novidem pot?! Naturally I will wait for your auction to finish;)

...everything a lot better tonight - strange.

...you still got that pin-hole camera then Robin!?

By the way you two was I far off of what I thought you looked like? in the thread what yo look like? Get12 I might have someone who might be interested in your wheels, he has a skyline r33 and looking for volks, sorry to ask but do you know if it will fit his car? ....sorry mate - I cant confirm this and would not know where to start

Ideally you could go smaller and it depends on the material, however i think 18s are perfect if you lower the car a little, 19'' nismos are though. ......Nismo smismo - I figured you as a bit more creative! At JAE you could not move for 19" Nismos. I know where you can get a cool set of wheels

In two minds but the supercharger has a strong calling - I can live without the wheels!

There is a possibility of the above being sold by me in a couple fo weeks - not used and come balanced. Selling because of a more immediate project being undertaken on my Z (Novidem installation) . These will be going for £2000 - believe me when I tell you that I am making a loss selling at this price! Any interest? Come supplied with GT center caps, lug nuts and valve stems. Wheel size: 275/35/19 and 245/35/19. Google the wheels to see what they are like. Graham

I see so if you have fi you need lower octane lever? I always thoughy it be best to have higher. I know nothing about cars lol so excuse my ignorance. In UK I feel my Z with 98 octane as I think most of us ver here use although I could of sworn someone say you can get 102 octane at some garages over here but its very expensive ...I think he is talking America specific - because of the availability of just low octane fuel in California the car has to be tuned to low octane so in other words the car is tuned to the octane levels available - but of-course I could be wrong but that is how i read his post.

...if only you knew.......being me is tough!!!!! But seriously the site is hanging a bit

....anybody doing maintainance on the site as it's running particularly slow today!

I think so-Middlehurst are not going to jump into this eyes closed. Andy Middlehurst certainly thought it had it's advantages over Stillen/Vortech. I dont know alot about these things but I keep my eyes and ears open and listen to what people say on the forums and I know that I want a first stage turbocharger that does not require an engine component up-grade i.e. is not going to strain the engine. I also consider it a big bonus knowing that Nissan Technical Team thought it worthy in the GT-S they made. Middlehursts used to be agents for Stillen, way back when .......still are aren't they??

Novidem is an emerging product in the UK Prescience - do a search for 'Novidem' on www.350z.de (German Z owners club) then you'll see that there are people out there using the product - just not in the UK but I am sure the the aftersales support will grow once sales grow in the UK. All FI solutions are emerging products in the UK - the difference is the level of expertise of these kits available in the US where all (or most) of the issues have been ironed out over the last 5 years or so (and they have ALL had issues) Like I said - I know nothing - I bow to your greater knowledge on the subject

I have been researching digital SLR cameras for the last couple of weeks as well! I was torn between Nikon and canon as well but ive whittled it down to the Canon EOS350D mainly because it is cheaper than the 400D and is just as good IMHO. The Nikon D80 is a very worthy camera as well, what with over 30 odd pre-set shoot functions but is significantly more expensive that the Canon. The Canon 400d suffers from less noise at higher ISO settings than the Nikon but im no expert and would not be able to tell the difference. I plan on buying a second hand camera and up-grading the lense

I think so-Middlehurst are not going to jump into this eyes closed. Andy Middlehurst certainly thought it had it's advantages over Stillen/Vortech.

Now that would be interesting. Keep us posted, G! Update - spoke to Andy Middlehurst from erm, Middlehurst Nissan , Yes he has been in talks with Novidem and yes it will go ahead hopefully in the next couple of weeks - he just needs to confirm pricing and other contractual details with the boss of Novidem. Pricing - possible around the 5-6k mark He's got my number and is going to phone me to confirm booking in my car - be rude not to Graham
