What he said

Howdy, one of my mates was tempting me with replacing my alfa with an MG RV8 and although that would probably be aweseom the 350z has always been on my list and sometime soon I hope to have one

Isn't the zed setup for use with the bridgestones and using other tyres can cause problems? (evo buyers guide info) As a comparison this is what my GTA cost over 2 years running http://www.pistonheads.com/members/show ... arId=75033 look at this http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyres_For/Nissan/350z.htm where are the bridgestones? wayyyy down the list for a reason That's good I really rate the PS2s I have them on my e92 Coupe, done 40K on the fronts (about to change) and 30K on the rears

Me too, I was recently hit by a muppet who changed lanes on me entering a traffic light controlled roundabout, he is now coming back saying I changed lanes on him I suppose the fact that he was navigating by a tom tom held in his passengers hand could have had something to do with the accident. OP, hope you get it sorted, I know how gutting it is.

Hi, Interesting site here with some stats on the 350z http://www.rri.se/popup/performancegrap ... artsID=637 Not sure if it's been posted before, did a search for rototest and not much came up but hey ho. Good for comparison against other cars. Not sure of its real world value though. Sean

Got 3 delivered at work on day of release, what a faff it was getting them setup and then trying not to hold them with the left hand in such a way that the reception dies completely. Ah well the two guys who I gave them to are happy though, the other guy said he was far too busy and would stick with his BlackBerry so I have one unopened in my drawer.

Thanks for all the replies folks. I do tend to go through gearboxes (3 in my last 2 cars) I don't 'bang' but I do have a sharp shift, good to know that 1st to second needs to be nursed a little through the gate to increase the longevity of the box. Has anybody on here had their car on a vbox or similar timing system after a remap to see what the real world gains are? Not just in launch but also midrange? Cheers Sean

Hi, Read somewhere that the 350z is restricted in the first 3 gears, does a remap lift this restriction? what are the reasons behind the restriction is it fundamentally for better dynamics or a throwback from the JDM market or can the components not take the power and torque at higher rpms resulting in gearbox failure? If the latter what upgrades are available to rectify any inherent weaknesses? When I get mine I was hoping to get it tuned to get the 0-60 somewhere closer to 5 seconds as the GTAs stock have been consistantly run at around 5.5 on a Racelogic V-Box. Any advice welcomed Cheers Sean

Link? cheers Sean

Hi, I'm wondering if the built in sat nav on HR cars is any good, when I test drove one two years ago it looked like an etchasketch have they upgraded the software at all? Does the display show any other data? Cheers Sean

All of it with the torsen diff and eibach coilovers I installed...

Thanks for the extra info, I'd read (I think on wikipedia) that the 300 engine (is it 300bhp???) was first introduced with the GT4 car and then mainstreamed in mid to late 2005 good to know that info is wrong then. If i do get an earlier car I'll probably be swapping the bonnet for a 07 one for no other reason than I think it looks better I am looking for a decent upgrade in power though, my Alfa is putting out 262bhp at the mo so I'm not sure the earlier cars would provide any real gain for me which is why I'm looking at newer ones. Mind you is the chasis on the later ones tuned in anyway to compensate for the bigger power of did they just stick the new engine in the same car? Cheers Sean

Ah, i'll need to update that don't live there any more, your domicile aint bad either, spent most of my childhood wandering the lakeland fells with my parents, lots of horrible memories of being dragged up mountains, odd that I don;t seem to mind now
