See post above, link has all the details. Not been updated in a while though, try bumping it and see what Adam has done since

Here ya go : Near enough 304WHP viewtopic.php?f=25&t=8920 Not sure what hes done to it since though. EDIT: Last post is quoting 320WHP

Not really a 350z though is it, its more like the 380RS Adam@Z1 has a lovely N/A Zed, there was a thread somewhere about him getting over 300WHP out of it

Atlest you know they wont give it back to you until its perfect. Thats better than most places

Indeed. Until you get it under petrol station lights Thank god mine are mostly gone after a quick machine polish

Looked very good when I saw it at Reading and Tom was very very impressed with the build quality which is saying something. I cant see it having any problems at being punished around a track. Its just built to be lightweight so minimal thickness which menas a lot of vibration. Doesnt mean it wont handle abuse though. If you ever see a real titanium race exhaust, its shocking how little metal you get for your money!

Primer shines just fine .... That was before the going over with a polisher. Looks even better now

We havent had very good turn outs for the past few or we didnt get all the cars together, so no pics at the mo. There are a few dotted around the thread though

You might want to drive on your own if you dont wanna get drowned out You have to keep up first

+1

The other option if its not repairable, is just to have the end bit filled and painted black, and have the other side painted black too, just on the ends. You would never really notice it

Nice one Stew! Dont think I'd ever take anything other than a Random Orbit polisher near my Zed, I wouldnt trust myself not to burn through the clear coat Wont take you long to knock out any swirls with that baby

You will at Wales, if you dont I'll pull them out

Kevin HUntley Z Newbie..... Maybe a mod with some nouse could do the honours! Yes I do think our Kev is worthy of a little more than newbie Nah, he just needs to post more. We kept Gaz's post count, so be happy (I'll go speak to the admin, kinda hard how to work out how many posts we should give him though )

Just make sure when you have a garage do it, they use copper slip/antisieze on the thread. Then you can give it a go next time in the knowledge that it will come off easily enough Its only hard the first time when Nissan dont use it (costs extra pennies of course) so they sieze on and are an ar$e to remove! Definately something worth doing yourself once, just for the experience And no deafening me at Wales with my quiet Nismo

Its alright mate, they will know a way of getting it to look repectable at least. I would have thought atleast you could flat it back and layer on some new gelcoat. Its not broken the weave completely anywhere (doesnt look to be any damage to the weave acutally), so carefully sanding back almost to the weave and layering back up with gelcoat should be possible. Carbonology should be able to send you the right stuff

+1 I didnt expect that, gutted for you mate. +2 - send a pic off to Carbonology, those guys seem to know what they are doing, and will be able to give professional advise. I think thats a bit beyond glue and permenant marker

YOU CAN F@*K RIGHT OFF I need 2 arm transplants asap Why do you think we all happily pay garages 50 quid to fit them Nice one though mate, it is an experience! A bit of blow torch action always helps to get things moving

Got pics? Most things are repairable, just need to see how bad it is. Varis carbon is cursed. No less than a week after owning mine, a rock hit it on the motorway and put a crator in front face of it! I had to colour it in with permenant marker Looks better than it sounds!

Not a test drive, but I got a Diesel Alfa Spyder (58 reg) as a courtesy car once. Saw it outside, and was like , but then realised it was a Diesel Was soo boring to drive and the turbo kicked in for a power band of about 100 RPM! Was **** poor, although did enjoy putting the roof down when it was snowing! I had to try it and it snowed for 4 days straight Very poor.

Nowt wrong with linking to my350z.com, they are a wealth of information and stupidity, all in one go

That is a good result too Yup, you dont want those monkeys putting scratches and swirl marks all over it. Better they dont clean it!

Just leave some bits at home, less weight, more ride height. Take out the spare wheel if you have one Seriously, dont know how you adjust K&W, did they give you the special spanner to do it with? If its anything like a bike, you need a big splined spanner, and all you need do is jack up the wheel, turn the but nut thing with it and up she goes, easy. Do the same number of clicks each side and job done

Top work

You should have had it a lot easier, the 5Zigen hadnt been on 5 minutes and TGM will have put copper slip on the threads
