  1. Not a lot of difference in the exhaust stakes between a 350z and 370z. The Stillen sounds very Nismo like on the 370z, so if you like that sound, I think you will like it. You can always try out the vids on YouTube too. Stillen have brilliant customer service, I would fully recommend going to them direct
  2. Far simpler than that, it just costs too much In the States it didnt offer enough for the cost at their price point, obviously it was better to sell the cars a bit cheaper than include it. The car costs more over here, so they can justify it as on the Infiniti range they are meant to be high end cars and its a USP people are willing to pay for. Quartz is definately the best colour though They werent planning on making it available in this country to start with
  3. Very nice sir
  4. Check out http://www.cliosport.net/ - if they are anything like here (not been on in ages) they'll have the best advice Will probably have owners with spare cats and bits for you to try
  5. There doesnt seem to be a lot of info about Scratch Shield, mainly because our main source of info - the US - dont use it much any more, litterally only on the GTR I beleive - the G37S didnt have it after the first model year and Nissan never put it on the 370z out there. Over here, Infiniti do use it on the G37 and Nissan have it on 370z and GTR. It only comes on metallics and pearls. From what I have read, it is an extra resin in the clearcoat which allows the clearcoat to expand slightly. This has restricted movement, so will only cover small scratches to the clearcoat only, if you go through the clearcoat, it wont do anything. Its designed for swirls and very light scratches. Heat activates it (Infiniti confirmed to me that they use heatguns on it), and it pretty much only works once due to the spreading effect having limited movement. Having seen multiple details on it, some have said the paint is a pain as it warms up, swirls go away, it cools and they come back. Others have had more success and have not had this problem, my guess being they use a more agressive compound and generate less heat so cut straight through the clearcoat. Those that work it more, warm it up and get the weird results. Mostly I think going by DW forums, its not hard to deal with.
  6. Insured with Admiral too, but on a multicar policy. I have it on business use, to 20k/year and it cost ~£600 for my part of the policy
  7. There is info out there about Scratch Shield, but very little stuff recently. In the US, I think Infiniti dropped it off their cars after one model year and I dont think Nissan are using it much over there either, except for the GTR. In this country there are limited cars out there with it on, some Infinitis, GTRs and 370zs (of which only metallics and pearls have it, the solid red doesnt). From what I can gether its a resin in the clearcoat, but doesnt seem to do much. Infiniti in Reading confirmed that they use heat guns to activate it in the country, but couldnt confirm how you are meant to detail it, or what can be done if you need to have touch up work done applying extra clearcoat. I think it doesnt do a lot, but what I have noticed is that the paint seems more resilient to stone chips than the 350z paint.
  8. Nice one Al, well done. Remember to toot if you ever come past Canary Wharf with Mart
  9. Ah the joys of 7AT, 2.5k @ 80MPH
  10. Some cracking photos there chaps
  11. Dont know why people to struggle to find a new car after the 350z - its easy - get a 370z
  12. Told you its all about the driver I do wonder why people think the Zed can even take it to a Cayman, the Porker is way better, but it costs a hell of a lot more so should be. Price for price, I'd take the Zed every time, but you have to admit the Porker is better.

    OOOPS

    From what I understand, because one side is stationary and the other is forced around, it puts forces through the diff it is not designed for. I dont know what it does for sure, but I know it can be very bad for it. Someone like ZMANALEX may be able to shed more light on what it actually does to it. At a guess, if they've knackered the diff, they pay for it to be repaired or a new one
  14. Used a lot on Evo's so should be quite good on a Zed, given both cars are of a similar weight and come with Brembos of similar sizes My mate Ben has run XP8's and XP10's but does mainly track work with his. Both seem to squeal quite a lot, but that could just be down to the use he gives them. Dust wise, he never cleans his rims so couldnt tell you how much they give off
  15. Get it added to the Black Edition list thread - we have quite a few black and quartz 40th Editions
  16. Cosworth always got the thumbs up on the 350z, so see no reason why that wouldnt be the same on the 370z. If you want a proper hike in power, you need some Stillen Gen3's, but thats a really involved install.

    Not bad is it It does better than my 350z did, and I reckon its about 70HP up on it
  18. Bump for AK - we want pics of Wales - did you get any?
  19. From the little I have read of it, you need to remove it from your PC (MalwareBytes or MS Malicious Software Removal Tool), flush your DNS cache (tells you where other PCs are in the WWW), and possibly reset the DNS on your router (and change the default password). This seemed quite helpful - http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/s ... fec8&hl=en

    Shame it doesnt use ID3 tags in that top view. It can do it as you can see in the second pic. No idea why they show the file name
