Good work Batman

How very odd. How do you access the net on your iPad? When working in London, I used my iPad on my commute and never had any problems with the site or PMs on it. I'll fire it up tonight and see what I find. It must be caching the page or something

PB cures to a white finish and does powder up as you say Rim Wax does, but when you buff it off its all gone and just feels silky smooth/slippy. Once you buff off any sealant no residue should reappear. Sounds very odd of Rim Wax to do that, maybe you had a duffer? I know some carnauba waxes can come back to a haze after a while (DD SN2 can), thats the natural wax sweating. Could have been something similar? You could try some PB sealant and see how that goes - I find it works very well

That would be very sensible - it can go from to in all of 10 minutes

Think I might be giving this one a miss now

Yeah seems reasonable now Positive thoughts everyone

I'm finding my 370z is giving the same MPG as my 350z did - not bad for ~240HP (wheels) vs ~310HP (hub)

But you dont live in the Lakes. Like Wales, the weather forcast can say one thing and you get something completely different. Mountains tend to mess up their ability to predict weather tbh. In flatter areas its a lot easier. Everyone just MTFU and get on with it!

Where abouts are you based? We have a few members with MY09 370z so may be able to try one of their discs out? I cant for one reason think why if you didnt get the right disc it wont work. Spot on with the section BTW

The orange Cayman Turbo they had in Evo - yesh please Looks awesome in white too

With Sax players? She's rather ataken to this chap and his band, and he is rather good! We're pretty much sold on them now I strongly disapprove of sax before marriage though. Boom tish Almost as good as the first time you text it to me

OEM bonnet is Alu IIRC so no weight saving. As you say other panels such as boot lid and door arent so, so you save a lot more. Also Rays wheels are supprisingly light, not many are lighter (for a reasonable price), most people end up swapping them for heavier wheels

Have a garage down here if you need

Oh you know what I mean Mr Pedantic

Thats more like it

Wheres the tank you promised?

Supprising as the comments I had in Wales was that my car was railing the corners better than the 350z, being noticably flatter. It certainly feels like it too. Having KW V3 does make you a little better than the OEM setup to say the least I would like you to elaborate on this remark. I have KW V3 and I am quite happy with how my car drives but I have no idea how much of adifference it makes. I know it is close to impossible to quantify, but I would very much appreciate if you could elaborate on how you think/feel/believe the KW V3 setup is better than OEM. Its like day and night. I will let owners with KW V3 ellaborate, but honestly, it makes a massive difference to go to any decent coilover setup. The car rides flatter in the bends, its more compliant over bumps and just feels tigher all together. What you can say against them though is that a good setup for fast road driving/track driving is not the best for an all out GT car, which the 350z is meant to be. Aftermarket coilovers make it handle like a sports car, but I'm not sure how I would handle say driving to the South of France in a car set up well for the track/fast road - not unless you set them up specifically for that of course.

Admitedly the 370z isnt noticeably lighter, but it is stiffer and handles better than a 350z so they got one thing right at least. I do find it supprising with what you are saying that they didnt try to reduce the extra bracing in the 370z and thus reduce weight. There must be a reason for it all, they wouldnt just do it for fun! And if its down to poor design, they could have saved a fortune by now in raw materials by using less I havent had the opportunity to get under many other cars than the 350z or 370z so dont have anything to compare against with these things. I do know my mates Evo weighs about the same as my 350z did, and although that was 4WD, the Zed undercarridge looked quite a bit beefier. Seeing my flywheel changed on the 350z it made me realise how much weight was in the gearbox, maybe we have heavy gearboxes and diffs?

Whilst this is true its not all about extra BHP as we know. An UpRev map does wonders for the feel of a 350z in terms of throttle response and gaining a bit more low down torque. So while top end BHP doesnt make any difference really - you do get a good chunk of extra performance you can feel from UpRev and supporting mods

Wow - didnt realise there were so many out there that were done by Middlehurst. Learn something new every day

Very nice, I did enjoy throwing a Cayman around Thruxton - but not enough to get me away from the Zed Camera angle makes it look like a toy though

Why didnt you just say that in the first place then And I thought the 370z was a tiny bit lighter than the last 350z? Thats what they were trying to sell it as anyway.
