  1. Great car mate. GL with the sale.
  2. Thanks mate, i have swapped my day shift for a night shift so i still have to work anyway!
  3. I track my car and change the brake fluid each year and bleed it once every few months. Brake fluid is hydroscopic and over time draw water in and water boils at low temp and cause brake fade. Nissan OEM bake fluid has a dry boiling point around 180degrees C, I swapped mine out to motul RFB 600 which boils around 320 dC i think. I have yet to boil it on track and the OEM fluid boiled in just a few laps! I would change it mate. Will give you better brake feel if it has not been changed for a good while.

  6. Wright guys the gates open to the public at 9am so if we meet at nixys meeting spot at 9:00 to 9:15 then this should be ok. The first race is at 1pm so we should have time to get set up and a ggod veiwing spot by then!
  7. Last call guys and gals for this event! Nixy if you think that meeting point will be good then i happy to go for that. If you could post up a post code for the area and some good directions for people and then we can sort out a meeting time!
  8. Yeah any where to meet up would be great, The reason i think we should meet before we get there is we may not be able to get "club parking" so if we meet up then we can at least get a area for the zeds!
  9. Nice one! So far we have : 1. DJTIMO 2. BIGPHILL 3. KEV @ ENVY 4. NIXY 5.?? Should be a good event and great to see Kevs 1100bhp supra!

    Being a pic Whore

    Stelvio pass! One of the worlds best driving roads!
  12. Gen nismo jdm sides are fiberglass! i have them! lol..
  13. Zeals are a true rear coilover and not that well suited to the 350z! The rear top mounts are not designed to take the weight of the car sitting on the spring. The coilovers are cheap as hell tho!
  14. I think The auto's use a 3.3FD mate and with 700whp your gonna need it ! I like the racelogic traction control mate. Would be first on the zed!
  15. Hi guys just giving you an update on my car after the clutch sarga! lol. After finding i had to drop the gear box off the car to fix the problem. ( a £7.12 pivot that broke!!!!!!!!!) I turned this bad situation around decided to go for a clutch and flywheel upgrade at the same time. I had been looking into the clutch and flywheel combos for a while and narrowed it down to the JWT combo or the ACT pro steet and billet flywheel. After a few phone calls I went for the JWT set up from Kev @ envy performance. Clutch combo came next day in the post and was packed very well! The gear was fitted at Middlehurt motorsport nissan dealers in st. Helens near to me. Great service from these guys as Bob from RJN posted the slave cyclinder i needed direct to andy the owner of middlehurst motorsport as there long term mates! Right. I was worried that this combo would chatter and sound like a cement mixer. First time i started it NO noise at all! This was from cold though and car was on high 1500 RPM idle. The clutch pedel is MUCH lighter than the stock 2003 clutch i had. Before when i was looking it to the clutch combo's i did not like the idea of a lighter cluch pedel as i like the beefy clutch in my 03! But now after 100mile with it i MUCH prefer the lighter action! (helps with banzai style gear changes!! haha) I have the SS clutch line ,Motul RFB 600 fluid and new slave cylinder and this set up is SOOOOOOOOOOO smooth! The gear change feel more precise and smoother after the adjustments made to the gear selector after the box was out. The clutch engages at the bottom of the pedel travel which is differnt to my old cluch as the engament was much higher. The cluch its self bits much harder than the old stock clutch and is a little harder to drive as its harder to slip it off the line. The flywheel is half the weight of the stock (14.2 lb vs. 32 lb ) and lets the car revs MUCH faster! The first thing i noticed was when the car starts from cold it revs to 2500RPM and lets out a great little bark! Revs drops to around 1500 but move around as the car gets used to the low weight flywheel. On the road the Clutch and flywheel do make some noise below 2k rpm but its not bad as my girlfreind did not notice till i asked her to listen out for it! The car feels much more eager to rev and make the whole car feel much lighter on it feet! Im still breaking the clutch in, im at 120 miles out of 500 im doing to get the clutch broken in properly. So im not doing standing starts or reving much over 3K rpm in any gear! (very hard as all i want to do is go for a blast and try it out! lol...) To some it up guys its a great upgrade for the car and make the whole driving experence much better! Just a few pics i snapped before it went into the ar never to be seen again! lol..
  16. Jasper have you ever driven a car with 600whp? That kind of power will pull you face off at WOT! The difference in real life between 600 and 700whp on UK roads wont be extra performance it will be just less traction and more tyre smoke!!!! hahaha. I think at 600whp your gonna struggle like hell for grip even with 305 rears ! Cant wait te see how you get on!
  17. You wont reach 700whp on the stock aps turbo's mate. Ive heard they run outta puff around 600whp. You may need the uprated extream turbos with extrunal waste gates to get teh 700whp mark. In for pics and a ride in the pasenger seat when its done mate!
  18. The nosie is clutch chatter mate. my JWT does it at lows revs. As adam said just get used to it! lol....
  19. I said id take in the pm mate ? Whats your paypal address and where good to go!
  20. It has the stillen hood so i assume the stilln supercharger? That kit in its highest state of tunre will not make 450hp!
  21. Great day guys nice to see you lot again! Some great action and weather held out for us thank god! Just a few pics for the people that did not get to come! \ Hope you like the pics people!
