Speed and direction are entirely up to you, the AC compressor just kicks in when its needed, neither of these two limit that, its having the AC light on that counts. For re-circ - press and hold the recirc button (the one with two lights on it in the centre) until they flash twice. It is now set to auto-recirc and will enable re-circ when it thinks it needs to. If you override it, you will need to do press and hold again to get it back into auto.

Yup its a sitewide setting unfortunately. But we are always open to suggestions - so if a significant number want it to be upped, we can look into it. ATM its set to 15 - we might do say 20/25 if people want and see how the perfomance goes.

Cant remember which button it is the press, but its the one marked AC - just press it so that the light is on. The AC will fire itself when needed. If you set it to a temp it should keep it there, not blowing hot and cold, that suggests you have a problem - most likely the heater core has air in it.

But you clearly have no friends

always worth keeping the aircon on or using it regularly. It prevents it from seizing up, keeping the seals in good order and helps prevent mold build up Plus it idles better and stops the car almost stalling when its off

With the roadster - its all about the tardis - other roadster owners will be able to tell you how to access this space increasing feature

Cant remember what its meant to look like, but that does look split. Is the exhaust hanger now close enough to touch the frame? It looks like it in the pic. It could be moving under certain circumstances that then means it can touch the car rather than being isolated?

when i seen this, thats exactly what i thought.. or at least get MadGrip and a few others in the carpark with visable (but discreet) Forum stickers They would then have to add that little "P" symbol for product placement of the forum (if of course it was allowed on the Beeb which I dont think it is)

We could pack out the carpark of Waterloo Road

Well it has these little wind deflectors in the centre of the bumper (like the 350z has) but also ones just infront of the front wheels. These are a little low for this country and tend to catch a bit. Nowt to worry about but a bit worrying when you first hear the scrape

Your sig says you have a 350z - you do realise we are talking about the 370z? Mine scrapes now and again, but no biggie, the deflectors are designed to do that.

Not seen anyone post up that they have one. You might need to be a trent setter

As Chris has already said, when the site is slow or appears down - please do not keep hitting refresh or trying to click links to other parts of the site. All pages are served through a central database and when the site appears "down" its because this database is overloaded slightly. when you make more requests (click links or hit F5/refresh), all you are doing is adding to the queue of pages it is trying to serve, and eventually it gets into a right mess and cant recover due to the queue growing quicker than it can serve it. We know the fix, and just need to implement it. As it requires low level database changes we are being very cautious about this and it requires Chris to perform it as he has the right access. Even after the change there may still be some tuning required so it might take a while to get things back to how they should be. Unfortunately this is a our own doing becoming so successful. We are far larger than we have ever been and even in just the last 12 months we have twice as many visitors as before (actual visitors not bots), and also a lot more interest from places like Google who like to keep up to date with the site which is very busy. This means the DB is having to work harder than before and needs to be tuned as such, which it isnt out of the box.

But you still have a kidney spare?

Elise over Z4 any day

370z roadster is the only way forward I'm afraid. Sell one of Ricey's kidneys

Thats the idea I think. 1000BHP was the conservative/safe power they are aiming for

Might be able to make © and meet you all. Need to work out what time we are leaving Friday morning

And cake if available... I think also medication has been sourced on the one occasion And the most chilled out dogs in the world. Its a great retreat for stressed people.

This is what you should be really worried about. Hopefully Mark@Abbey can confirm what really happens if someone does this? Maybe someone who likes to run 95RON should get down to Abbey and see what happens

Or as someones Signature, no names mentioned I had seen, might even make it to the portal page next run too

95RON will likely put it in the high det map (Abbey may be able to confirm) so while it feels fine, its robbing you of power, and the engine isnt running happily. Stick to super unleaded. Yes it costs more, but its what the car is designed to run

Exhaust will net you around 15-18HP (fly) but only after a remap it appears. Colin had his exhaust changed and his stock map showed roughly only Nissan claimed figures. Once UpRev'd he showed a gain of around 15HP@hubs Intakes on the other hand are a funny one. My car with intakes and exhaust on stock map gave about 10HP more than Nissan claimed figures, so intakes made a bit of power. They do this by altering the intake diameter and making the car run leaner. After an UpRev map however, I gained another few HP which put me neigh on equal to Colins car. Abbey will tell you (and I agree) bang for buck the best option is an exhaust with Y-pipe (that removes secondary cats) and panel filters are the best mods to do. I got the Stillen intakes as they add a bit of bling and noise to the equation while not reducing power - which Abbey have shown on the 350z the open cone filters (pop charger et al) does loose a few HP. HTH

Forget a pop charger on the 370z, you'll loose power. Wouldnt bother with a grounding kit either, they only ever made a difference to older Zeds from what I've seen (I had one on my 53 350z and it worked well). IMO get a set of Stillen Gen 3s and Stillen exhuast if you want a good intake/exhaust combo as they can be shipped together. Tarmac should be able to get these reasonably priced for you. Exhaust is the main thing you want to change on the 370z TBH, get rid of the secondary cats and free up a bit of power and noise. Then get a map from UpRev to fully release its potential
