  1. i've never read any bad reports about PF unlike the others
  2. http://www.hillsmotorparts.co.uk/breakers/nissan/350Z is it the rwd that does this ? you do need to adapt slightly before you try pushing the limits
  3. from what i have read it varies mate, depending on how well your car is earthed at that factory i was always very sceptical and was def NOT going to buy one !! then i saw one 2nd hand at a good price it def worked for me, much much smoother when moving slowly and on tickover and better mpg all it does is increase the earthing/grounding on the car which then in turn allows for cleaner signals from the components to the ecu, so that it gets better signals and responds quicker and more efficiently HTH Paul Thanks Gix, I had a look at the website, and I guess for the money, it's a cheap enough mod, that can't do any harm. I suppose at the very least, with some nicely coloured cable covers, it'll look bling in the engine bay agree on that one mate

    as above be very careful with body parts off ebay, sometimes what looks a bargain isn't by the time you pay to have them adapted to fit correctly and refinished to get a good result it will cost a lot more than buying decent stuff in the first place ebay can be - bad fit and poor finish
  10. Do I see a little photoshopping on your sig Tilly +1 i spotted that, they weren't on on the wales trip - fast editing that !
  11. thats lugging the 240v convertor round
  12. seems to be approx £16.95 + p&p for the big 1 let us know rob, i'm tempted but i do like poorboys anything i buy that doesn't hit the mark gets used on my wheels or my wifes car
  13. i wouldn't worry about the stone chips, mine seems to get them just by sitting on the drive !! congrats
  14. no personal experience with the zed but on my last car i had fully adjustable koni's which were superb although i do know that bilstein worked directly with the 350z to develop their set up, they were reveiwed in a magazine i had and they tested it back to back on a track with the s tune, the billy's were much better
  15. Why not just buy one off Phil then you know its genuine why ? obviously it must be cheaper 2nd hand

    Yikes - do you see the ground clearance on that - definitely needs lowering + spacers and rear led's
  17. take a look here mate http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... =grounding
  18. I'm running 275/35/19 and 245/35/19 - no issues although i have noticed a lot of peeps run the rear on a lower 30 profile to try to balance the look, as the rear are wider and the 35 look bigger as the profile is proportional to the width of the tyre i doubt it makes much difference to the handling or general driving for 99.9% of us
  19. I'm a bit worried about this. Not quite sure what they are trying to say!
