Here's one for you all...
Just because it worked doesn't mean it was right. Does your switch have any function other than cosmetic?

Is the switch and wiring you added suitably sized for the current drawn?

Stick or lever?
It's a gear stick to me.

Your best off starting your own thread bud.

Just try unplugging the MAF and drying it in the airing cupboard first. After that I'd try a known working MAF.

possible maf issues
One long and two short is code 12, which is MAF circuit. The code plus your symptoms I'd agree with your diagnosis. They don't like getting wet, common issue with them. Try drying it out but I suspect it's potentially shot. Remember the code is for the circuit not specifically the MAF itself. So damaged/poor wiring or connections could yield the same fault. Unplugging the MAF, it should run much smoother but be limited to about 3k. You may need to reset the ECU to achieve this.

Dunno if I like the idea of drilling extra holes in the wheel Si.

Haha. Sometimes you gotta be a bit direct. I'm in Poole.

350z Brembo refurb and fitting
Without being rude, I sounds like you don't know what you've got. So I suggest waiting till you actually have them, then you can measure up and identify properly. The stock 350z Brembos use a 320 odd mm disc, that tallies with that 325mm figure you suggested. These discs fit directly to the 300zx. The calipers use a slightly larger mounting bolt, m14 rings a bell in my mind, to mount the caliper to the hub. You need to run a drill through the mounting hole to accommodate the larger bolt. Other than that a straight fit. If they are the 345mm discs things are a bit more complex, I've not heard anyone use 350z calipers on 345mm discs though. As I say, get them to you first and then we can work out what you've got.

Generally people use the stock size disc from the 350z a 320mm disc for those Dave. No mods required aside from enlarging the mount. The 345mm discs are generally using Brembos from an EVO, which do require a bracket.

Indeed, although he has been quiet of late. My money is on a bit of skirt.

What did you do to your zed today?
Good stuff, although I may have been a good idea to use the clutch and fly assembly off the car to test fit. Clutch pedals in I take it? I dug this out for you too. Reverse light wiring; Obviously you can neaten that up but it just shows the way it's done.

Weldone kiddo. Have you modified your gear box yet?

The color would suggest your American:lol: the colour chart you've given would suggest that everyone had great qualities, in my experience that's not the case so I feel there may be some problems there.

Sort of newbie
Talk to Jimmer at Powerzed in Bristol, he will sort out a health check for you and make sure it's right before you progress. He will also be able to point you towards who he sends his customers to, to tune the engines he builds.

Paint colours
Ignore them, it's incredibly popular ATM. You can go with whatever you like. The greys look great, we get loads of complements on the colour, that car gets more attention than the zed TBH. This in my opinion looks awesome.

Greys are cool. Her Skoda is grey, the same grey as a lot of the RS Audis are in.
