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...

    • Yep it's an r34. Usually people remove struts without removing the front upper control arm (fuca is what i assume this is?) So not sure why mine wouldn't fit. I know on my other car I did a similar job and it wouldn't fit until I removes the ball joint nut even though I didn't remove it prior.   The upper arm doesn't seem to be in the way (the part that's bolted to the chassis. The part that's bolted onto the j arm I'll check that out though.   I was going to compress the spring and put it in with the compressor attached but not sure if it will work  Haven't seen anyone do it.
    • I have a small lip on the boot of the E90 and I've been toying with the idea of trying to mould it in to the boot to remove the gaps. I guess shaving the seams? No idea what the terminology is here.  What I'm wondering is, if it's current double sided taped down, what would I do to more permanently attach it so it makes a good base for the filler? It only has edges so no way to bolt it down unless I add some braces. I've done a lot of fibre glassing in my time so that's nice and easy but I'm not sure what my options are here.  Sorry, this is the best pic I have and I'm 4 million ks from home ATM.  
    • Based on this comment I went googling. A052's in the sizes I want are certainly not cheap, but I couldn't find anything in the V70A anywhere. How much do they run/where do they get sourced from? From what I know (nothing but internet searches and reviews etc) the R888 has pretty much fallen off from anyone's actual use, and the AO52 is the king of "road legal" rubber. Nobody is driving around on their daily for Z221, AO050, DZ03G. At that point, for purely track only tyres - Why not buy actual slicks? Why does nobody actually do that anyway?
    • This an R34? It shouldn't matter though - it should be the same as on any of the others, and by "any of the others" I mean R32, because that is the car that I have had the front end apart on about 50 times this year. Sometimes, it is much easier to get the lower shock eye onto that pin when: a) you have the upper shock nuts backed off a few turns so you can wiggle it a bit more freely. When they are tight the bottom of the strut is much harder to move that _leeeetle_ bit you might need it to to win the fight. b) you have the outer bolt(s) from the FUCA out and so you can move the lower pin around freely too. Then, all you have to do is put the upper arm back on when you've got the rest back together, and this is where jacking under the balljoint can help.
    • One question before I make a bigger mess potentially, do I need to undo the nut on the outer ball joint?
