Pingu2

what the hell does mean, anyway? why was it in a box? how long was it in there for - did it have airholes so the poor Z could breathe? I could never bring myself to buy a car from someone who used a phrase like that!

mmm I thought that too - maybe they mixed up Brickyard (http://www.nissannews.com/multimedia/nissan2004/350z/colour/01brickyard.jpg) and Chilli paint in the factory by mistake

A287 is good for me - used to commute from the coast to south london every day up that road a few years ago when I had an MR2 - was better than the train any day!

Congrats on the Z!

looks like a good laugh

ahhh

I was in bed - in fact I didnt know that such a time existed untill I read this post!

looks nasty on GM I think - wheels distract the eye too much from the bodywork (which I happen to like!).. looks OK on chilli

original article = bollocks.. vertical load on tyres not linearly related to horizontal force required to overcome friction (specially given uneven surface of road!)..

mmm I quite like them .. or I could get one of these for the roof along with a recording of Pingu to replace the horn and then run through red lights with impunity.. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-ASIA-PINGU-PING ... 0049259098

found it at pistonheads - http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/to ... 324931&h=0

mmm looks alright - how much does it weigh?

I can do either 3rd or 10th..

I'd actually quite like any info you have on the OBD spec/commands - for my car pc project

I think it IS a Spill kit - optronics is the name of the company.. the instructions sheet in the ebay photo is the same as the one I received from Spill last week so kindly ammend my title back

I already have one posting for others!

10 quid with 18 hours left.. seems a bargain? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Nissan-350Z-O ... 0052290883

that's some shockingly bad driving

should be free most weekends - except this next one.. probably better sooner than later with christmas coming up!

well I can now drive round town without spilling my gin and tonic due to the smoother throttle response at low revs - so although some people may not see any benefit, I certainly do (gin is expensive you know!)

Well I just went out for a sunday morning hoon-aboot - there is definately a difference at low throttle openings, I am able to drive much smoother at low rpm and around town than before - which is what I hoped for.. so I'm happy

count me in I have been down to Goodwood (from Kingston) twice since I got the Z 2 weeks ago for a drive - some decent roads that way..

Kit just fitted - my 2nd mod (after K&N filter ) - very easy install thanks to Spill's fine instructions, took me (completely inept due to presence of short vestigial wings where hands should be) about 45 minutes. Will go for a spin later and see if it feels any different, although having hard the car less than 2 weeks I may not be able to tell!

I always think of that noise he makes as more like "Maaaarp!" - so I think you should greet me like that Anyway - thanks for the welcome, whatever it sounded like Have just been for a drive down around the South Downs some (up near Goodwood) - great fun, lots of torque - couldn't really push it (new car and all) but even driving like an old granny I was impressed 1st problem I found so far is that the CD player keeps being interrupted by NEWS - how do I stop that? 2nd problem is that I pushed the fuel cap opening button into the dash and had to spend a couple of minutes fishing it back out.. guess I am just ham fisted! oh and 3rd problem was finding myself doing 100 when I thought I was doing 70.. the speed piles on quite effortlessly if youre not watching!
