  1. weird, I don't think mine does. If its definately a UK car then its been registered incorrectly. It should not be listed as a Fairlady as thats an import. I think you can check they are an import or not for sure with the VIN, but cant remember what the difference between them is UK vin starts with Z33, can't remember what the jdm starts with but its different Yeah I seemed to remember that was the case, but cant remember what the JDMs start with either. I remember looking at mine when I got my repair work done, and it was a really low number, so quite an old Zeddy!
  2. Sarnie's is a different pic, but taken from the same site, you can see the site in the bottom of your pic. Theres more on there too
  3. TBH I think you're better off sorting the suspension and ARBs than chasis bracing. Alex and Adam will probably be be along as they have more experience of this, but from what I understand, it doesnt do a massive amount for street driving other than shake your fillings out Not sure theres muich point doing it without sorting the suspension first.

  5. tuning is about 350....equipment about 700-800 maybe..not sure..thats about the best mod you can do after filter, spacer, exhaust to make the car the best drive Certainly tempting after you spend so much on all the breathing mods. Shame those Cobb things dont work in the UK. Did Envy ever get their reflashing service off the ground? That was going to be the best bang for buck mod out there, but I know to get it going was going to be expensive for them.
  6. I was thinking more about whats the cheapest way to do it NA? Pingu seemed to get very nice increases in torque on the daily driver rev range, which I think would make a big difference to how the car drives. Even though the peak increase doesnt look like much, for say £1k (if you could get something that cheap) then it might be worth it. Dont think any piggybacks with tuning will come in that low though.
  7. Man, we really need a sticky with all this stuff, prices and gains if we dont already have one! I assume that the gains for all chips given a basic NA tune (filter, exhause, plenum spacer) should be pretty similar? Do they all offer the same kind of tuning, just some offer more advanced features that are useful for FI?
  8. Yup, they are talking kack as usual! I'd suggest going for whichever comes out the cheapest, just make sure the ins company are happy with it otherwise in the event of a claim they may try and void the insurance
  9. The name for the 350z (and most other Zeds) in Japan is Fairlady Z. So all imports from Japan are Fairlady's. Either way it shouldnt make a difference!

    Mats

    Holdcroft are a trader on here, you can get a discount off them for being on the forum. PM an Admin for the code (dont ask me, I dont know what I'd doing yet ) EDIT: OK, you get 20% off apparently and I can get the code
  11. Thats not a word Bloody well is. Might have used it in the wrong context, but its a word Maybe I should have said it has a linear relationship instead
  12. Supercharger mate I still dont know the idea, but its more likely to fit
  13. Chips on the front are purely relational to the number of miles the car has done. Nothing to do with being ragged. If I was visiting that dealer, I'd tell him I want a car with no chips what so ever otherwise its been ragged
  14. Good stuff, seems like a genuine bargin then
  15. Like it, very nice
  16. And dont we know it Chilli Red will be taking early retirement at the rate you're going!
  17. I take it they follow the Nissan inspection points? If they do then thats a bargin. If they simply change your oil and kick your tyres (highly unlikely!) then you can just do that yourself and save £50
  18. Whats that Mav? I'm not blonde so I couldnt be Iceman
  19. +1 - otherwise you get a wet boot, dont you Mr Mac
  20. How much did that cost all in then? Did you get similar gains to Pingu?
  21. If they did a lot of dual carridgeway or motorway commuting then thats perfectly normal. I get about 29MPG on average with a 75mile commute per day with mostly m-way but some A roads and some fun roads Last Wales run I came back with an avg of 31MPG, and we werent hanging around in the front group

    How Old??

    Prices have fallen a lot recently so you will get people even younger getting them now. I think when I got mine, early 20s was the youngest on here, but I think thats a lot more common now.
