Chris`I

Seems to be within tolerances. My Zed hasnt used a drop of oil outside of normal servicing (every 9k) and I've put 40k on it

I wouldnt say Stew is rich, but thats exactly how he drives (just kiddin buddy!) Mart is spot on though. Bikers mantra is always assume the unexpected and drive/ride for everyone else on the road as well as yourself. Expect them to cut you up, pull out on you, shove their way in. You eventually get Zen like powers of driving where nothing phases you and you just let them do it because you knew they would. Doesnt stop a quick blap of the horn mind

Speaking on behalf of the women car lovers (and I'm sure Nixy and Bronzee will back me up on this), I really think you should let your daughter have a go, isn't it universally known that females are the better drivers (don't know why I can't keep my mouth shut on a predominantly male forum ) Yip. If your daughter is that fearless Rob, she might be rather quick around the track as long as she keeps it tidy. My dad loved his powerful cars, but I've kind of taken the obsession to a new level. No dont do it! You wont get your car back! I let the missus drive the Evo triangle last Wales run on the Saturday and nows shes always moaning she wants a go at the driving! Takes time away from me driving, boooo! To be fair though, shes not half bad, better than most of my male friends who claim they are good drivers

What model are they? Look very nice Recaro 'Sport', ive had a few different Bucket style seats in different cars in the past but i had these in my Evo and i cant honestly say that they are brilliant. They fit perfectly with the Zed interior, most people think that they came with the car as standard, and they hug in all the right places. It took me ages to track some down. Excellent matey Trying to decide if the extra £75 per seat is worth it to have leather bolsters or not. I like the all Alcantra look but think it might wear. Looks more sporty all fabric, but looks classier with the leather bolsters

What model are they? Look very nice

Which Recaros did you get? Considering getting some Recaro's myself

Have no fear, the quality of the Scorpion is very good. I have a Scorpion on my bike and its top notch. The reason it is cheaper here is that you are getting it direct from our traders (who normally give discount, which could explain it), and arent trying to make a quick buck, so no massive markup like eBay, and no cheap imitations either. Traders here have to offer good deals and products as their reputation is everything. We wouldnt recommend them otherwise. You wont be disapointed

Signed and forwarded! When will they learn education is the way to cure these problems. Lowering the speedlimit will do sod all until they get it so low that it is safe in call conditions, which means it'll be like 5MPH as thats the only safe speed in snow/ice!

You can get yours at Wales. Means you have to come

You make my head hurt man When changing wheel sizes, it is impreitive to keep the rolling radius of the wheel the same. Google, tyre size calculator and stick the old wheels in then change it to 20" and adjust the profile until the RR is the same as you currently have. Thats the size tyre you need. Keeping the same profile will make the RR bigger and make the speedo under-read. Can also balls up the TC if you dont get the front to rear RR stagger correct.

Price seems very reasonable too, just too far out of my price range

You have PM. Could you drop that same pm to me bud Something i will be doing this year Can someone pass that on to me too. I guess being up North it will be a fair bit cheaper, but I'm currently pricing up seat re-trim vs new bucket seats.

Could always try these http://my350z.com/forum/interior/419058 ... -knob.html

He's humping your GTR The Falkens are far better than the Bridgestones in this country. In the dry they are fine, but get the Stones wet and its a nightmare. He is right in the sense that the Toyo/Falken are budget performance tyres, but they give you most of the benefits of something like MPS for a fraction of the price. If you have the money get MPS, but if like me you dont, Falken or Toyo are a great choice

Well it was good to see the Evo boys put to shame by a Datsun either way!! Was brilliant to watch and he definately let the lad go in the end for fear of the Evo being stuffed into a barrier! Car sounded awesome too. Would love a 240z to restore and tinker with, nowt you can do with a 350z as its all electronics. Nice and relaiable mind.

Rob, stick them on photobucket. It'll resize them for you, then post the IMG code it generates

Classic! I suggest speaking to the various detailers on the forums (Muddy, Envy etc) and see what they suggest. I wouldnt want to chip anything in to find it damages the car

Rob So was it your 240 at Japfest I have seen tourmenting young Evo drivers on the track? I must say, that Evo last year didnt want to give up, and I assume that you backed off thinking he was going to crash? Cant remember which Evo it was, but saw you had a good little battle with him but he was much closer to the limit, fish tailing out of corners. Was some cracking driving Unfortunately, I wont be able to attend JapFest this year as it clashes with out Wales drive out

Popcharger and induction kit are the same thing (pretty much). A popcharger is just a cone filter element that replaces the stock airbox. An induction kit can take many forms, one of which is a cone filter to replace the stock air box. A Cold Air Intake (CAI) is essentially the same thing again, but the filter is moved out of the engine bay (to the front bumper for example) or housed in its own box with a cold air feed (as the K&N Typhoon is). So popcharger (or other induction kit) and plenum spacer will give you a nice growl and a bit more torque than standard

Plenum spacer sits between the upper and lower plenum and helps balance the air flow to all 6 cylinders. The stock plenum slopes towards the front, which starve the front 2 cylinders slightly. This spacer, balances out the airflow for a better A/F ratio in the front 2 cylinders. Popcharger - replces the airbox and gives a nice roar. Meant to flow better than stock, but the Zed doesnt use it so all you get is a nice noise

You were just waiting to post them werent ya mate

Added the new dates for 2009. Next one is next Tueday. Dates: Mar 2009 - Tues 17th Apr 2009 - Tues 21st May 2009 - Tues 19th Jun 2009 - Tues 16th Jul 2009 - Tues 21st Aug 2009 - Tues 18th Sept 2009 - Tues 15th Oct 2009 - Tues 20th Nov 2009 - Tues 17th Dec 2009 - Tues 15th

thats a bit surprising chris, can you or any member expalin why!! Have a read about my350z.com. Its been said before by quite a few people that the stock airbox is a very good design for the engine and provides more than enough flow for it. 06 onwards had a slightly redesigned box with a venturi ring, which supposidly gives you the best performance bang for buck out there. I think this is down to the fact that its shielded from the heat, takes in cold air from the bumper (not the engine bay) and flow is more than adequate. Doesnt give you the nice growly noise though I run a pop charger for whats its worth, no noticable difference in performance, but does sound nice
