He’s incorrect 90% of 300ZX’s DO NOT NEED CATS for an MOT. It is NOT listed on the Appendix for Emmisions testing and therefore only has to comply with a Non Cat Test. Only vehicles with manufacture dates after Aug 1995 are subject to the tighter emmsions tests Page 12,134,135,136 and 137 are the relevant pages https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/676700/in-service-exhaust-emission-standards-for-road-vehicles-19th-edition.pdf

That got sorted with the recent map. Unfortunately, as I’m on my temporary straight pipe exhaust, I can make the quaintest of villages sound like Beirut in the 70’s..... needs tweaking a touch to say the least, but I’ll sort that when the new exhaust is made

Ill have to have a look what they’re like when they turn up. I suspect that there’s not going to be enough material there for me to sand it back to remove the emblems.

So today I purchased a set of the Smoked version of these: Shock Horror..... AMS parts! Yes yes I know however, they are an AMS original part that they haven’t copied off another manufacturer, so there’s no guilt here. There are 2 reasons why I have gone with these over just OE covers, one aesthetic and one mechanical Aesthetic is that I have a bloody expensive valve train with the BDE cam pulleys and the PE Kevlar belt. Seems silly to hide that lovely engineering away The other reason is I run the EPR manual tensioner, so makes it easy to keep an eye on both my belt tension and timing marks without having to remove the covers. My OE fasteners are a bit of the tatty side nowadays, so I’ll see if I can purchase some through ZSpec while they have a sale on

I’ve pinged you a message mate

Even though the term “manual” is used for the non digital climate control cars, the system for changing air direction etc is still entirely electronic, so the solenoids are still used. From memory I eant to say you can still get the the HVAC flaps from the pass side floor well, but it’s been a while since I’ve been under the dash

Forgot to add this one to my submitted pics. Love how imposing it looks here

Been a mixed 2018 for me Z wise, hoping 2019 is significantly better. Happy new year guys

Im hoping to give you some competition at the AGM buddy, keep your knickers on lol

JeffTT for his “Look how nice the weather is in Portugal” posts

I thought the date was familiar... I’ll be doing Beaulieu rather than this

Well you can certainly have a like for the T350C, unfortunately I’ve already cast my vote

Any update on this from Z club? Doesn’t this roughly clash with the AGM?

I think you got yourself a bargain there mate

Did someone say shine?:whistling:

I think that was because the vacuum reference was, at the time of the video, plumbed in pre throttle body not post throttle body. However the flutter is not audible inside or outside the car though (it’s only picking up as the mic was literally right next to the air filter) and although I’ve not put a mic back under the nose section since rectifying the vac reference, I’m pretty sure that flutter has been eliminated

Or this vid....... one of these days I will fix my SSR’s! [video=youtube_share;EkyCQEdTu2A]

An old video of mine, but you can hear them at the end of the run [video=youtube_share;_ptkRddQcF8]

Lol I’ve got the fins installed in mine, so it’s deffo more of a high pitched squeak rather than a hush noise (which is why I chose the HKS and not the Apexi twin chambers that I had in my old Z)

Squeak squeak lol

Nice to see another ‘95 in the club.

Can’t help but agree with the bloke. And I’ve no doubt that the R36 GTR will take any potential development budget away from any future Z. Not great times for Nissan

Like I’d do such a thing, lol

I’m more of a “keeping a watchful eye from the shadows” kinda guy

I’ve pondered it, but to be honest I like the sound of the SSQV’s. I also don’t have any of the issues that BOV’s can potentially cause (fuelling and idle) as I’m using a MAP sensor. The options always there in the future should I change my mind
