    "Way Back Home"

    I bought a BMX a few years ago for the sole purpose of learning to manual (wheelie) Gave up after about an hour of trying.... An hour is plenty long to learn the basics of a manual - someone was teaching you wrong or you had the wrong technique. You need to put your weight way further back than you think - acutally its not that far back, it just feels it. Rather than pull up to get the wheel off the ground, you kind of move your weight back and get the bike to pivot around your feet. Sounds odd, but thats how it works. When I was 16 I could pedal wheelie literally as far as I liked. Wish I still had that control, can only do about 50m now
  2. Its fairly well proven that dual pipes with a good cross over works best for the 370z, all the best exhausts are running them You should see a good hike in power, the design in very similar to the Stillen in terms of flow

    "Way Back Home"

    Not really 350z related, but go on, I'll let you off
  4. Just waiting on a delivery from Brian our American cousin
  5. Bit late to nip to the shops now Will have to try and get a copy tomorrow. What does it look like? You happy with it?
  6. Havent done any mods to the Zed for a while, so got the itch. Just waiting for some bits from the States... should be a very handy addition
  7. And if it sounds anything like the bikes I'm sure you will be over the moon when you fire it up

    19" or 20"?

    I'd go with 19" personally
  9. GT acadamey has been around for a few years now. Before this year they used 350z and GTRs, this year they used the 370z, and some autos to boot - so they cant be that bad! CH4 screen the series on it on weekend mornings, but its over for this year (on TV). Its a good programme, but unfortunately as they condense them into 30 min episodes, you dont get to see too much driving.
  10. As Martin says, stick it in 4th, up a hill preferably, and accelerate. Watch the revs - if they rise faster than the car picks up speed then the clutch is on the way out.
  11. +1 mine did 76k on the original clutch and still had life in it when we removed it. With a mechanically sympathetic driver they can go a long way
  12. +1 - start at 35psi cold and have a play to see what you prefer, add or drop a psi here and there
  13. All this talk means you are surely destined for the green room

    trolley jack

    Hockey puck with a groove cut in it is the best way to jack the car at the sills with a trolley jack
  15. MY06 LEDs look much better IMO, but I can see why people want to be a bit different.
  16. Yeah yellow is the Ultimate Edition, only available in MY2009. Wasnt a limited run as such, just only available to order during 2009
  17. Looks shopped to me too
  18. Yeah its something like that from what I remember. There is a fuse for exhaust butterfly valve, that when removed keeps it open at all times
  19. Get the premium one, its much thicker and doesnt move, also stops some of the noise that comes from the boot area. For anyone around Basingstoke, I have one in my garage loft they can have for a token gesture/dontation to the club. I CBA to post it, so would have to be picked up from me when I am around, but that can be arranged It has a couple of slits cut in it for the boot divider which I dont have any more, but I dont think they are obvious from what I remember.
  20. They'd probably be importing 370z's too if the exchange rate was as favourable now as a few years back. Import Zeds were far cheaper back then than ones off the forecourt. Given the hard times in the economy I dont think Nissan are doing badly, I know the black editions were flying out of the door. You cant compare year on year sales when one set were from when the economy was booming and one from now. I do think we are slowly seeing the end of sports cars though
  21. Very nice sir. Remember to remove the magic fuse for more noise all of the time
  22. Seen them before and they dont suit the car once they are on. If you want smoked lights, go for a light tint film, that way when the cops stop you, its easily removed and you dont get in trouble
  23. I heard the rumours about Merc and Diesel too, I hope they are not true. I think they will go hybrid though, its the only way. I can see Fezza and other supercars going that way too, they are actively researching and developing them. Still if that means a 400Z with a bit of leccy help, so be it
  24. Posting when a thread is what? Sorry I dont get it
  25. To be fair to Reuters they put out an announcent. On foreigner decided not to put his phone down til on of the PAs gave home fat evils
