  1. possibly, but i hate using 0-60 times as a performance gauge of a car, 20-100 is a better marker and on that the 276 version would be quicker by about the same amount. i always think power to weight ratio is a better guide of a car. and isn't the 309 heavier And it all means naff all in real driving as already said. There are far more prominent performance gains to be had be making yourself a better driver
  2. Will be interesting to see what it is Sarah. I have noticed more recently in the warm weather it takes a lot longer for intake temps to drop when driving and they rise like mad at a standstill. Think if I go down the ECU reflash route I will be wanting something to stop the warm air getting sucked in (stock air box perhaps )
  3. Yeah mate, its a free for all, its not a specific 350z-uk day. Ben (MAD7BOY) has a 300WHP Evo Just want to give everyone who was interested a heads up so we can all book on the same day if there is a decent amount of interest. Theres 25 places I think and 17 remaining when I checked so theres already some guys on it in some interesting metal.
  4. Hmm, well mines not that dead, but when I had Tom do my tyres before Wales, I asked what the chattery noise is that comes from the engine area and he thought it was the flywheel I'll leave it until it makes a right racket like yours and get the clutch done at the same time!
  5. +100000000000000 I'd have to agree
  6. Dont think he quite did it himself from what I know Tom said the flywheel was knackered, think mine is going the same way, would be good for you to listen to mine at JTS if you can and give prognosis. I think its going to be an expensive prognosis though
  7. Love songs for Dave?
  8. Most people put them in the front. So long as you have it in one end I think they will be happy with it
  9. Guys, As a few have expressed an interest in doing the CarLimits activity day, I am proposing we doing one on 16th Aug. They dont appear to have any sessions we could use as a dedicated 350z-uk one, so I am planning that we just jump in on this public one. There are 17 spaces left at the moment, so although there are not many gone, there arent that many to go either! Bit of info for you: ( http://www.carlimits.com/ ) Its great fun and very cheap! Apparently you are covered on your normal insurance as you are not on a track. I am a bit dubious of this, but as its a very open area, chance of accident is very small! Have a look on youtube for the vids and add your name below if you fancy it 1. Chris`I 2. MAD7BOY UPDATE: I have now booked onto the 16th Aug day, so feel free to do the same - http://www.carlimits.com/script/viewEve ... h=20090801
  10. In case you stick it in the gravel and they need to pull you out Aha make sense Yes make sure your tow eye is the right size people, we found out last time that there are 2 sizes and some cars have a differnt size from front to rear
  11. Lexx: I think I have a bulb, let me check when I get home. But asking to help fit the cluster, hmmm, I think I'll pass buddy! Its a bit of a nightmare, not something I want to do at JTS! Unless there are other more practiced people in the art of bumper removal!
  12. How long is the lead and what year is the car? The best place to put it (if it reaches) is in the little cubby armrest. Any competant installer should be able to run the wire behind the HU, down behind the AC controls, down the centre section to the cubby. Unless you need access to it for selecting Albums etc, this is the best place as its out of sight
  13. No problem with trading on the forums mate, we actively welcome it. We do however charge a small trading fee (and I mean minute compared to how much BulletMagnet will spend with you!), and ask that you contact a moderator/admin when you want to start trading so we can set you up with the details before you start trading/advertising
  14. Used to do all sorts, but as with the others, since being on this place they have all kindof died a death Photography I am still into but dont get much time for, hopefully the hoon will give me time to take some nice pics with no cars in them for once! I like to do mountain biking but due to the lack of bikerack on the Zed now, havent done that in ages. Once the missus new car lands I will get a bike rack for it and we'll be back into that hopefully between other commitements and 350z meets!
  15. Think Rob should do it, he organised JTS I was thinking, we should probably do it quite early on in the day so that everyone is there. If we get people to hang about once they've parked up we could do it say 9:30-10am? I think we should get the best crowd of people? Sound like a plan? Dont know when the track session briefing is, need to make sure we dont clash with that.
  16. First one to run him over gets a free gift from the whole forum (sticker, hoodie etc)
  17. If Martin W wins anything, I will be calling it a fix
  18. Silica bags work very well at drying sealed units out, its what they are designed for. If there is not break in the seal they will draw out any moisture. Remember to put them in the oven too for a few minutes if you use them again to dry them out. I sh!t you not it works, I use them in my camera casing when scuba diving and they work well at keeping moisture away. As you can imagine, diving the casing gets very cold so any moisture quickly condenses in the casing. Also if you have aircon in your house, you can stick them in an airconned room to help it further
  19. I might go get me helemt tonight then, just in case we have an inpromtue track session outbreak as I'm getting tempted by it again Remember the suncream too folks, out and about around the track there is always a breeze and its all too easy to get burnt!
  20. Buy 2 of the above and zip tie the edges together? Or get the missus to stick a few stitches through it, job done
  21. My Samsung lappy and Mac Mini survived Wales just fine, who was it who said Acer were fine?
  22. Have a good one guys, and BM, stay away from the carbon, I know you'll want some for your b'day
  23. You think that, but a few I have met that have/had TT, I would question if they knew much about it at all before they had it done! Search button is always your friend though, theres been plenty of talk of all this and the various options. As said before, Alex, Envy, and Martin all have different kits, so try asking them for advice, but only once you know the basics or you'll pee them off!
