Nice one & hello Pics then... ???

Might be a repost but there are some pretty spectacular wallpapers on here .. http://www.dieselstation.com/news/nismo-350z-a621.html nice Devon GTX

Hello A lot depends on budget and ofcourse your personal preference as ^^^ lots of useful info in this site. Personally we bought a UK car at the time as we were going for new and was the GT pack as that gives leather interior which was another box ticked Uk cars are also slightly different to JDM models. There's a good mix of nice cars on this site for sale so enjoy the learning curve.

Just incase it hasn't been posted before somewhere came across this interesting site http://www.wheelpaints.co.uk/page1.htm might be useful

Friend of mine has a body repair shop he used to do work for Citroen, you would be amazed at the number of un registered cars he would paint mostly bonnet roof & tailgates on every car as they had been standing for so long in nasty places. All before the 'new' owner got his barnd new car!!

Could try here.... http://www.courtesyparts.com/350z-logo-emblem-350z-and-370z-p-19496.html?cPath=714_881_1243& & save some images as... might work

Dont agree, you can avoid swirls.... wash with 2 bucket method 2wash mits, 1 for upper & 1 for sill areas. using good products open end hose to rinse which will take most of the water off if the cars waxed, pat dry with waffle weave towel, last touch to finish .. etc.. etc etc.... Our night blue zed now 2 years old & 20k doesnt have swirls at all (did when it was new from dealer mind!!) just corrected it all in the first week & have looked after it ever since .....

If they are foam stuff you should just wash them... dont use them again as they are as the polish etc will have gone off and hardened, which could scratch the paintwork next time you use them. Also you should have a different applicator for each product... you don't want to be using a pad that has had a course polish on when your using it for wax Usually wash mine in water with washing up liquid, rinse well & leave to dry. Also if you use any micro fibres or polishing towels or the like machine wash them without conditioner

here you go, may still be for sale 18" rays wheels & tyres http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=27062&start=0 OR... if you look on the other site there's some std 18's there

Jerry you have pm

Not sure you could try http://z-store.co.uk/ they may be able to help or PM CS on here & ask. I got my last ones from the states http://www.courtesyparts.com/350z-parts-z33-2003-2008/accessories/emblems/-c-714_881_1243.html

Blimey lots of info here then... thanks guys, clarified things a bit for me will give it some thought

Now then, this is getting confusing... am I right that some cold air intakes have velocity stacks and some dont.. might seem a daft question but which bit is the velocity stack of the intake? and the standard boxes have them yes? Maybe I just go for the panel filter & take Marks advice & try the Dyno route.. would be interesting to see any difference.. the car has the Nismo cat back exhaust so would be good to see what the power is in any case.

So if I stick the high flow panel filters in will this give the extra gains that the other intakes do, just without the noise?

VQ35HR engine so need two intakes any advice as to the best to get as I'm a bit lost ! Looked at the Stillen long tube direct from them is about £315, but if I get stung for VAT its nearly as cheap to get it over here... then looked at the AEM & Wolf popcharger seem cheaper to buy any preference peeps. The only advantage I can see with the Stillen versions is that the filters are completely enclosed whereas the others seem to be exposed would they be liable to some heat soak from the engine?..... or should I just go for the Cosworth high performance panel filters in the existing boxes? I'm confused

Hey steady on there I have a porka truck yea I know its ugly but tis different.. in my humble opinion the VW version is prob better especially as they do a diesel thing. So much the same the Turouag thing & the Cayenne that why would VW want to have the same cars with different badges.. ... and the Panamera .. got to be one of the ugliest thing to come out of Germany

Dont have much choice really... cos after all it is her car but I use it as much as I can, my reward for the cleaning I suppose ...and I let her use my Cayenne truck for the shopping

See how you spent yr bank holiday then.... cleaning looks

Agree with ^^^ yesterday decided to get all the bugs off the front of the zed, so wash & de bug left the front looking not what it should be so out came the machine polish gear. Ended up doing the whole front / bonnet & wing tops & a bit of paint correction to get rid of the scratches the neighbours cat had left when sliding down the bonnet. 2 types of polish 1 sealant & 1 wax & 3 hours were gone!! but it does look now...that is until the missus comes home in it tonight covered in bugs again no doubt

Well have to say I've had 2 STi's No1 was at uk sti 53 reg with the Prodrive performance pack, reputed to be 304bhp.... the second a 06 model JDM STi twin scroll turbo etc 320bhp, The sceond was a rocket ship by comparason to the first... and the first was far quicker than the 54 reg 350z we had. Different power delivery but once you get used to the scoob hell the're brill & will leave he zed on an A to B road, a far more focussed car in my opinion, but yes can be tiring if you just fancy a cruse. The car above is the WR1 which is based on a re mapped STi, + other bits was built by prodrive in Ltd Nos. re mapped to 320bhp (Standard STi of that age 265bhp) but the map was such that it still had some lag early on and power was more generally spread across the range. It didnt feel as quick as the normal STi with the PPP but was, in a stightly more refined way. All in all I used to want to get out of the wife zed & back in my scoob for the performance, but then if I was doing a 500mle road trip i'd go in the zed !!! However now that i'm scoobless & we're in the 313ph Zed with the Nismo zorst etc its a slightly different game

Nice job there.... lovely colour combo the blue & grey

Thanks pm replied

Stunning Supra you have there... so then how much you asking for that ??

If you go for the Pro S use 5w40 & yes its a better product that the others... all to do with its make up, if you feel like splashing out use the Motul 300V power which is also 5w40 I've used both in Impreza STi's & in both of the zeds their performance is far better that dealer mass oil. In the current car 19k miles the pressure is far more stable and higher when hot & pressing on than the oil the dealer once put in !! Have a read here it may help..... http://www.opieoils.co.uk/pdfs/Are-synthetics-better.pdf
