NA Engine temperature
DOH, i did mean the sensor. sounds right then. mine reads about 145F usually, but on a consult it's around 75 degrees. I think they under read as the hard pipe isn't earthed.

NA Engine temperature
where's your gauge fitted mate? mine reads that, but I know the reading is wrong. Don't mind too much as it's consistant so I can tell when it's running hotter

NZR. Awsome new car...
they are very nice though. Originally thought they looked a bit out of proportion but got to walk around one in Berlin (Bugati showroom) and was well impressed

flapping noise from front pass wheel

aftermarket seats
they are Sabelt 3" lightweight ones, very comfy 4 point belts, though can be upgraded to 5 point on the quick release. Even the wife doesn't mind *too* much. Rollbar is from Autopower in the states, delivery & tax cost as much as the bar itself! But it's a very good fit, not sure about 2+2 options though.

Gear linkage and shifter
you need bushings that fit then. Had similar problems using the bushings that came with the kit. Put stock ones back on and it's fine

H pipe
:nelson: doh!
-
H pipe
i believe the h pipe is to help with low down torque and that the pulses from each bank help pull the exhaust air from the other bank, and the X pipe is the same principle but does a better job .

My poor Z

Suspension overhaul
the ES kit is good, firms up the ride a bit but the car feels much taughter(sp?) for it. You'll notice a bit more road noise and you'll hear the diff whining. As for the installation the rear subframe needs to be dropped so it's a bit of a mare! Takes most garages about 2 days to fit the whole kit. I've gone one step further with solid aluminium Subframe and diff bushes. Not much difference in noise or harshness from the ES bushes but feels even better.
