if anyone ever considers buying a 350z, seriously re consider.

Because of the fuel leak i have i decided to take my sister z to work.

can believe how shitty the visibility is out the windows, especially the rear one.

reverse parking? nah. you cant tell how close you are to the wall. have to get out like 3 times to check.

power? ehh.. good take off, in the wet, i struggled to keep traction, half asleep you have to really baby it. but then when you expect more power up top. nothing. the car seriously gives up at about 4000rpm lol.

oh n not to mention a PITA to get in and out of.

It makes me appreciate the stag and how comfortable it is.

POS 350z, i wouldve sold it by now.

yeh shes got the HR model..its meant to be 30kw more or something..

but whats the point after 4000-4500rpm it literally just gives up. i think im expecting boost.

one other this i forgot to mention.

the speedo gage numbers are wayyy to small. personally i'de rather them larger as u notice if your speeding.

I dont know what the japs did with it, its a POS. im glad the 370z was a massive improvement.

I finally discovered the real reason why Craig buys Nankangs. They keep sending him calendars...

Edit: Fine, a link instead: http://livesniffpetrol.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/PicNews-101203.jpg

Hmm good point. Make sure tagged links in future then...

Mind you, your work probably doesn't like you on SAU all day when you're supposed to be working either?

Well luckily for me I'm not on it all day :pirate:. See above as per Aaron's comments...

I'm sure other's might not appreciate half nakid (fat) chicks popping up on their screens when their boss/colleagues walks by...

If u really wanna share your luv for BBW's there's the wasteland thread for that...hahaha

especially if the colleague is a fat chick

just got off the phone with Shannons Insurance...

Not impressed.

1st - they don't know my car. That's fine, not many people do.

2nd - after telling them every little bit of detail about my past infringments/mods etc he comes back and says "we can't insure you because your car has too many mods. It needs to be in a garage"

3rd - I told him as I'm moving to a new house soon which HAS a lockup garage, can he give me a quote. He goes for another 10 min and then comes back and said "no, we can't give u a quote until you've moved into a house with a garage".

I guess I need to ring up again and lie just to get a f**king quote. idiots...wasting both our time. If they don't/can't want to insure me just f**king say so from the start...

Thank goodness JCI's online portal is so easy to use...

    • Still fast enough to have fun (kinda). Time for a modern turbo with a divided turbine housing and a proper twin scroll manifold. I think 400-450kW is a great place to be, provided it's all in before 4500 rpm.
    • i'm not at 600 though 😢 its 484hp (356kw) at the wheels.. 
    • Nice. 600ish HP is probably a nice place to be.
    • In the US the EPA has been going after shops that sold aftermarket ECU tuning software that allowed you to disable CELs for things like EGR, DPF, SCR, or TWC failure. They also went after shops for selling emissions delete equipment. Their logic is that all cars built for street use have this emissions equipment and you cannot do an after the fact conversion to an off-road vehicle not intended for street use. Cobb, Hondata, and similar companies have basically all revised their tuning software such that going forward you cannot suppress DTCs for emissions-critical systems, nor can you toggle systems on and off in the tune like EGR. You also cannot adjust OBD emissions monitoring logic. You can still tune these cars. But you have to do things the hard way, basically. For example Subaru FA20DITs used to delete the TGV system to get spare analog IO for a flex fuel sensor. EGR also has to be dramatically pared back because without the TGVs the stock EGR map causes bad misfires. Now instead they have to implement the flex fuel system as a CAN bus sensor instead. IMO, this is heavy-handed but the EPA in the US gave so much leeway for so long and the aftermarket relentlessly abused that leeway to the point that they could actually see the effects of all these emissions-deleted work trucks on their air quality monitoring for cities that haven't met Clean Air Act standards. It's one thing to have a few people deleting emissions on their weekend car that spends 9 months out of the year on jack stands. It's another thing entirely for entire fleets of tradies driving around 8 hours a day on deleted diesels that emit 1000x the emissions per mile of a compliant vehicle.
    • Hmmm. that's a tough one. There's a lot of history bundled up in that lot. Perhaps instead we can create a new pinned thread, called "Legacy Pinned Threads" and provide links to the these ones that will be unpinned in there. And maybe put the names of the pinned threads that are linked inside in the tags so they can seen from the outside? Or something like? I mean, it's half a step back towards having a more complicated forum structure, without actually having it. But there's a reason that heirarchical architectures exist. They are logical, and if executed properly, make it easy to find something without having any upfront knowledge of where it would be , and without using a search function.
