Yes, the rear hubs need modifying to fit the calipers. I've posted about it a number of times before, there will also be some pictures if you search.

Believe it or not that had crossed my mind, but a) it is only supposed to be installed one-way round and doesn't fit properly, b) I'm not that daft !

I have 350Z kit all round. And a 350Z space saver does not fit ! :confused:

Now that is something I had never considered.

Any chance I can clone myself a young Diana Rigg ?

Exactly - I have big brakes all round.

Bump

Has anyone succesfully found a spare wheel, eg space saver, that will fit over big brakes ?

Need to know as no name arrived with bank transfer.

Oh, very nice .....

Hopefully, I'll be in the pub ... or at this rate still at work ...

Yes, I did. Thanks very much.

Reckon about 6-7mm.

Anything is possible, but not realistic with the current engine/transmission layout.

http://jalopnik.com/5070304/2009-nissan-370z-breaks-cover I think I like it more than the 350Z - more curvy ...

No snow here, but it did get as far east as Harlow.

I've never had a Z series, we were all T's here. Definitely one of the best machines around. We did buy 55,000 of them !

Sometimes it's the software rather than the battery which causes the problem. If you discharge the battery completely, the the software resets itself and you may get better battery life again. I've had my current IBM ThinkPad for 3.5 years and the battery still seems very good. It's used on mains all day, every weekday and on battery at other times. According to it's data it now only maintains 19.97 Wh of it's theoretical 47.51 Wh capacity, but it has been cycled 723 times over that period, so it's not dooing so bad. If I performed a deep cycle recharge I suspect I'd get a little if that capacity back.

I would have thought it would be non-conducting. You don't want anything conductive near HT leads unless you like 50,000 V electric shocks !

Running one of my chips without a boost increase seems to make a small difference, never dyno'd it for exact measurements though. All the modified map is doing is making it safer to run higher boost.

Opinion seems divided on whether vaseline is a conductor or not, my instinct suggests it would be a very poor conductor as I don't see much opportunity for free electrons to be sloshing around, like in a metal. Essentially, anything except a vacuum, will conduct electricity, if there is enough current, but materials with free electrons will be a much better conductor than materials that have little or none. The reason vaseline is smeared on battery terminals is to prevent oxidation, eg that white crud, and has nothing to do with any properties as a conductor. It is possible to buy both conducting and non-conducting (dilectric) grease.
