Dave Bull Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Hi, I'm Dave and in the last month decided to buy a very low mileage 350Z HR. I use the car as a daily driver and love it to bits. I've added a set of forged wheels and wider tyres as the stock Rays' were beginning to flake. How long I'll keep it though is still in debate, as it's a thirsty bugger! But then what did I expect!!!

Dave Bull Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 It's no where near as quick as my previous vehicles, but as an everyday car, it is very nice to drive. I'll be installing a set of 4.08 gears in a weeks time, as I feel the stock rear end ratio is way too tall! Will let you know how it goes! Quote

Dave Bull Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 be nice to see what you do with this Give us a taste of you're car history and maybe some pics My SR20DET powered Nissan Micra aka 'Little Bandit', that I built back in 2005. It held the FWD class record at Crail Raceway for nearly 3 years with a best time of 12.18 @ 126.8 mph. I unfortunately crashed the car after competing at the 'Ten of the Best 6' event and thus decided to built a new car, a Nissan Almera GTi, but with an updated version of the engine that was in the Micra. I was never really bothered about how the car looked, as function was always more important to me. After several years of trying, I was finally able to do the impossible and break the 11 second barrier at Crail Raceway, being the first to do so in the FWD class. I ran a best of 11.94 @ 129 mph. If you wanna see more, then just ask! 1 Quote
GMballistic Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 That Micra look's pretty cool if I'm honest. Had one for my first car but it was the 1988 Mark 1 Micra 998cc so the only thing I did in 12.18seconds in that thing was the 0-40mph dash. 1 Quote
Dave Bull Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 The car seems to have developed a misfire when it gets up to heat! Not good for something with less than 20K miles! Quote
