  1. Same Bank details Charlie. Alex.
  2. Spell check!!!!! Where can I find this Will? Alex.
  3. Hi Charlie, i have had your brake order set aside since 6th November 2012. I always knew that you would come back for it. I will honour the prices quoted back then, so no price increases mate. Alex.
  4. Thanks for that Russ: Phil, Nismo V1 carbon rear wings are in stock and good to go same/next day. These are copies but are superb quality and perfect fit first time. Drop me a PM if I can help you further. Alex.
  5. Will more than likely be a connection at number 6 coil pack or the coil pack itself or perhaps the plug. Alex.
  6. The R35 track version has even more stickier seats. It is true about the slippy leather seats and I "binned" mine and fitted fabric. Alex.
  7. You must drive like a Granny out for a Sunday hoon on her way to the local church coffee morning: :lol:
  8. When he bends it Alex, you have all the spares he needs..!! OH YES.
  9. Best to kep this style of driving for the track. Probably just the Traction or ESP kicking in. Alex.
  10. Seat electrics incuding movement and heating. Seat belt warning. Air bags. Alex.
  11. There are many issues which can cause an engine rattle on start up, and with out hearing it I am afraid I can not give you an informed diagnoses. If you are not confident in your technicians diagnoses then I would highly recommend that you let some one who is a VQ35DE engine expert to have a listen. This issue should be able to be diagnosed without serious stripping. Alex.
  12. Charlie, If your brakes are not in top tip shape then there is a very good chance that your track session will be prematurely cut short by either brake pedal fade or pad fade which are two completely different things. For the sake of £300.00 why take the risk in spoiling your trackday? There is nothing worse than getting in a few laps and your brake pedal sinks to the floor. When selling your car, new brakes will also be a good selling point, however you will not get any more money for your car but it will make it easier to sell with now pads, lines and fluids fitted. In answer to your specific question Charlie, I would advise you to definately change the lines as well, and at £72.00 it is a no brainer. Alex.
  13. A compression test and a cyl. leakage test would tell you that.
  14. You will not see the spring as the bucket covers the spring and the cam covers the bucket.. Alex.
  15. Some 350s are known to rattle for a few seconds from cold start and there are numerous factors which might cause this. However if you have explored all the possibilities and the rattle is from the one of the cam chains, then I doubt if it will be the hydraulic tensioner and is more than likely to be one of the cam chains. This year alone I have replaced cam chains on two 350s due to similar issues. From cold, If you check how far the tensioner is protruding from the tensioner housing then that will give you an idea what is going on. Circa 10mm protrusion is acceptable and circa 20mm is not. If the protrusion is circa 20mm then the reason usually for this is that the small cam chain will be stretched and the tensioner has to come out further to take up the slack and the rattle you get is due to the chain interfering with the casing. If the above is your issue then a new cam chain and tensioner will fix your issue. Also best to replace the chain guides and slippers when you are at it as Nissan have upgraded these with more efficient and durable parts. Alex.
  16. Unfortunately the cam shaft has to be removed to get access to the bucket and valve spring. I would recommend that you run another compression check and also a cyl.leakage test. Alex.
  17. As what Keyser has said: Plenty drop links and nuts in stock Kyle, and good to go same/next day. Alex.
  18. Not rpm related so guess that something must be touching one of the pulleys. Alex.
  19. If you are also looking for advice on what to fit to retain or improve on your present power levels then I would recommend that you retain the 06 airbox and fit a Performance Panel drop in filter. Cosworth or HKS are the most popular and both improve filtration and cold air intake. Plenty in stock and good to go same/next day. Just drop me a PM if I can help you further. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/46565-hks-de-350z-performance-panel-filters/ http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/40448-cosworth-drop-in-panel-filter-vq35de/ And here is the link to my 10 page sub forum Z store where you will find all this stuff and much more. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/137-zmanalex/page__prune_day__100__sort_by__Z-A__sort_key__last_post__topicfilter__all Alex.
