dajw Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Evening all! A quickie: Oil temps are fine, it is my daily driver and used for a round trip from Farnham to Newbury. Obviously I give it some beans now and then on the journey because why not - it's like an impatient dog waiting for a stick! It's off to Westway on Friday for oil and supercharger lube change, other than that no issues to report. Brakes holding up well on the Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas but I imagine of I tracked it the brakes, oil and tx temps would all succumb in a hot lap or two. It got pretty warm but never exceeded safe parameters when I did the car limits day last year (& that was 33C ambient - the tyres were roasting in the sun!) Goodness you are a friendly bunch! BTW this is my second zed - I had a gorgeous black 350z with the VQ35DE rev engine (2007) love Zeds. Contemplated a 240z resto but decided on the supercharger work instead. One day!

dajw Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 To those interested in the Stillen kit, Simon and the team at Norris shared that it is a superbly engineered bit of kit - really well thought out, solidly made. You're welcome to look at it in the flesh. My car is intentionally stock from the outside. Sounds a bit different. Whine at the front, bark and pops at the back!

dajw Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 @ebized thanks! I'll take a look - one of the reasons I'm interested in wheels is I think the 19s are a bit overkill for the car, may consider 18s like the Enkei PF01 that I think look great as well as perform - http://www.motoiq.com/Projects/Nissan/370Z.aspx is a build with them.

dajw Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 @GMballistic the Stillen kit is based around the Vortech V-3 blower. I'll work out how to reply properly to a post soon. The iPhone version seems a bit limited for options! #noob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajw Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 welcome that car is awsome i want one now dont know if i can bring myself to part with that amount tho I borrowed 5k from my dad, paying him back at an affordable rate. Seems daft, but this is part of my "stop buying a car every five minutes" plan. Plus: Powerrrr! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajw Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 We like boosted and charged zeds I'd love to see what some of the turbo cars are like. I like the driveability of NA so the centripetal SC route was a logical choice for me. However I also laugh like a crazy thing when I go out in friends Evos & get the crazy delay/boost/dump thing with every gear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajw Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 I mentioned only this morning that I want the stillen on my 350: I want the stillen supercharger totally jealous dude, get some pics up asap Great bit o kit. Fine if you stick with the supplied tune too, I only got into some difficulties when I went for the 9lb pulley upgrade, as then stillen didn't supply the right map for my car. Happy to talk about my experiences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajw Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Welcome. I am in Farnham as well, 370Z midnight blue. You will probably only ever see me in your rear view mirror. Evening! Love the blue. Nah I drive like an old lady round town... Only really open the taps on the twisty stuff / good visibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah I drive like an old lady round town... Only really open the taps on the twisty stuff / good visibility. That said there's a lovely pair of 90 degree bends out near Bentley on one of the back roads that has superb visibility. I have never once rounded those without smoke and drift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Tidy installation, tight in there though. Very nice. Just fyi ~ all that oily/gunk looking stuff on your suspension towers can easily (with some elbow grease) be removed using some Carb cleaner. Just spray a little on a rag and gentle wipe it off. That's what I did on my 350 anyway & worked a treat. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WYNNS-AIR-INTAKE-AND-CARBURETTOR-CARB-CLEANER-AEROSOL-CAN-PETROL-ENGINE-CLEANS-/390802146845?pt=UK_Vehicle_Oils_Lubricants_Fluids&hash=item5afd9f861d 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
