350Z better than a 370Z?
i think when the 350 first came out I was quite underwhelmed with it - especially the change in shape, and when the 370 came out I was of the opinion that it was what the 350 should have been. but to be fair, the price of the 350 is so low now and the bang you get for your buck is such that I would be very tempted to buy one should I ever get rid of my 300 and my Civic.

Alarm cert for Insurance
i took mine to a local car electronics place who are qualified to certify alarm installs - they produced a certificate for me when my insurance asked for proof. I've only been asked the once though... :confused:

Help with Greddy E-01
as far as I'm aware if the unit is OFF then the car will be running at factory boost, i.e. 9.5psi. I'm unsure as to what the default settings are on the E-01. I have some experience in setting my own unit up manually, but I'm sure someone who knows more about tuning will be able to squeeze the best out of it. The main thing is to do it gradually and carefully as one wrong setting and bang!! I used to do a home to work run in the morning, keep an eye on the line graph, and then tweak the settings when i arrived at work. then try it out on the run home and tweak it again. this took about a dozen or so round trips to get to the settings I currently have. I always tried to find the optimum max boost in the higher gears (like 4th and 5th) with a low gain, and then once I'd achieved the boost I wanted that was safe in all gears, then tweak the gain up slowly so that it didnt overboost in 1st.

very interesting stuff Vodka and if you watch the last quarter hour or so of Stephen's programme, he explains how we'll eventually have to leave this planet for whatever reason (either our sun dying, or a neighbouring sun going super-nova and releasing atmosphere-killing levels of radiation) and colonise a new one. but what he doesn't mention is that that could have already happened and we could be new arrivals on this planet. In fact, we could have done this a dozen times, perhaps data banks with our history/technology is either destroyed upon landing, or held very close to the chest of particular world leaders or key people in history. anyone who has completed Assassin's Creed 2 will know what I'm talking about here. skip the first minute until our hero Ezio meets the hologram of the woman.

did anyone see Stephen Hawking's Universe? fantastic stuff and IMO on par with David Attenborough's Earth series. I only caught the last episode which you can see below: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/stephen-hawkings-universe/4od#3123808

Hobbies other than cars?
Other than my job and the Z, I waste my life on PS3 gaming and the internets, reading and watching films/comedy/retro TV, and gymming it once a week.

bodykits
I purchased my sideskirts from carlovincriminals about 3 years ago. the quality of the ones I received was good and as far as im aware the fitment was good too although the bodyshop had plenty to moan about with the front bumper which was fabricated by a bunch of cowboys who have changed their ebay name as often as Ive changed my underwear (which is at least five times this year!). but Car.Mad is your man for bodykit :)

Winter coming........Car cover?
roflmao!!!!! those covers from fleabay are good as long as the car is dry when they go on as they have a nasty habit of freezing to the car overnight and you risk tearing the breathable fabric when you try to take it off in the morning.

No idea how much i missed the zed
im hoping i get that feeling back soon. after a load of relatively small problems she's been sat out front for a couple of weeks so far and I'm literally 50/50 whether to get rid or not. I found myself seriously considering a 350 instead, especially how cheap they are!!! :eek:

A few pics of the progress
I ran a twin-filter setup through a single MAF like Alan is here and had lumpy idle problems, however the setup I had had a longer tube coming down from the MAF so that two Apexis would fit. Whether this was the cause or there was some other little fault I don't know.
