Chris`I

Was just showing this to someone at work, and it looks like they've blurred him out!

Glad you spotted it early enough, top the oil up and you should be ok. Remember the oil light tells you that you are out of oil! I never get that, I think it should pop up when you are low and flash when you are out or something. Just as an extra measure. I know BMW have fully electronic dip sticks these days which I also dont like as you have to rely on it. I want it to give me a warning but also let me measure it to be sure!

Smoking Having seen my old man fight throat cancer and lose, I would say to you not only dont do it in the car, dont do it at all! If you want something to really put you off it, visit the Bodies exhibition next time its in the UK and go look at the smokers lungs

Just added a bit more detail Chris.

Yes, and I think a lot of people have been confusing the issue on here recently with their posts. Ok, so with the RevUp engine, they redesigned the lower plenmum/collector with a view to increase top end HP IMO to chase numbers. This meant a loss of torque and also rendered the plenum spacer useless. The MREV2, is a new lower collector - which ironically is pretty much the non-RevUp lower collector - which gives back the low down torque but loses a bit of the high end power - to be expected. The spacer can then be used again to bump the power back up. So non-RevUp (MY03-05) just needs the spacer RevUp (MY06) needs MREV2 and spacer to work

Good luck bud - keep us posted

So Storm White GT with Nav? Manual I assume? I'll get them to run it tomorrow

smartmove: Have spoken to WLMG@Slough today and they have confirmed that the MY2010 order codes are live, and dependant on spec, deliveries can be as quick as 4-6 weeks if theres already one the right spec being shipped. If you let me know the spec/colour you are after, they have said they will run it through the computer and can give you an exact lead time

I think a little more info is required For example wheels? size? etc . +1 - on my Rotas, I could use 275 or 285 no probs, after all its only 5mm each side of the wheel.

If your tyres have very uneven wear compared to each other I could see how that is logically possible, but I'd get a note in writing to say that when you get new tyres they will check the car again for free and adjust if needed

Think there was a chap on my350z.com that changed his from a USDM to JDM, by transplanting the internals from the JDM into the USDM to give him autofolding mirrors. Maybe worth a search, sure there was pics of how he did it

Nottingham/Leicestershire area. Well I'm sure the locals can confirm, but that seems a little steep to me, London is usually more expensive because of the higher labour rates.

Looks nice Not sure I'd have it as a daily driver though

Where are you based? If you are down South (London/Reading area) that seems like a standard kind of price, but maybe a bit hight, I think you could get it down to about £65 inc VAT if haggle, but that seems a standard price to me - not their discounted price

Do not over tighten them! Tighten them up to the same spec as wheels (around 85ft-lb) and make sure you do them in a star formation, going say 40 - 60 - 90ft-lbs. It is important not to over torque and do it in the right pattern to make it sit true to the hub Also an idea to check them a week later to make sure they've not backed off at all. Then do the same with your wheels a week after that to make sure they arent backing out

Well said Colin

http://my350z.com/forum/intake-exhaust/ ... pacer.html you guys might want to read above thread... and try and clean your eyes of the bs... Nothing new in that as the older members on my350z have stated, unless I missed something? Good to see an inderpendant dyno measuring it, and does prove that a spacer on a RevUp motor does nothing with the RevUp lower collector, so what has been said is right, you need the spacer and the MREV/non-RevUp lower collector to make the best gains

I would say so. Given they are taking orders for roadsters and Black Editions, I would say MY2010 cars are very much available for order I can get a confirmation tomorrow

+1 - a lot can be lost in text, like the context of what people are saying, speaking in person or on the phone will get you the details a lot quicker but then I can't read it... But he will have more time to write up the explaination he gets than Mark has

Found a few vids on YouTube, looks like great fun, karting in a Zed! What is FreeRACE Heats Semi's Theres more of the same if you look at their vids

+1 - a lot can be lost in text, like the context of what people are saying, speaking in person or on the phone will get you the details a lot quicker

Go for a 370z, just not the Black Edition

Yeah think you're right, Stews doesnt have any lines, but in your case, I think they follow nicely from the bonnet so leave them on. Its marginal either way will look ace with a smoothed badge

IMO leave the lines on the bumper and smooth out the badge. I think thats the same as Stews isnt it?

As Mark said, standard on UK models, but optional on JDM
