Hi Guys, I have cracked my passenger side stainless exhaust manifolds on a speed bump. Does anyone have some or one they want to sell? aftermarket cast ones would preferable to stainless, I'll take either Thanks.

I got them on with the spacer and a bit of stretch tyre.

Thanks s13silvia that makes a lot of sense . These have a flat back for the extra depth , hence why they don't fit . Back to the drawing board then .damn chunky brembo's

I have just been told by tarmac sports the higher the offset the worse the clearance would be . It can't be ET +5 can it ? Confused .com

Hi guys , Bought myself some new wheels and they don't fit. I bought 18x10 et25 all round . Rears are fine as my arches are rolled. The fronts though don't clear my 350z caliper . I have added a 20mm spacer and they now clear but the wheel is sticking out of the arch LOADS . I knew it would stick out a bit but this is not failure sticking out . Has anyone else had clearance issues ? What offset do I need in 10j to clear them . Thanks, Adam

I know what your thinking Chris , too much negative camber and less contact patch. I did plan on having it setup at orchard garage in newport who did the geo on my s2000 years ago, but I ran out of time .

The pic is before I lowered it , see the rear has a touch of positive.

No I haven't had it done professionally, but the car sits better since I lowered it , after fitting all the suspension bits the car sat a little higher than before and the rear looked like they had a tiny bit of positive camber and now they look spot on . Also the car feels planted and not skitish at all .

Thinking Michelin ps2 or ps4. Had toyos on my s2000 and they were very good in the dry but not amazing in the wet . I live in Wales, it's wet most of the time here lol .

I started at 32 psi and worked my way down to 28 psi . I had the dampers on full then backed them of at the rear 50% hoping a stiffer front would dial in some understeer .... nope . Defo weakest link is the tyres

Sorry I meant 265/35/18's

It was dry Friday and Sunday just not Saturday . My friends M3 had loads of traction and thats 1500KG I turned the boost down to 10psi later afternoon which is around 350 bhp (by my estimates ) I had was oversteer everywhere still. I was driving smoothly as well, not chopping it in etc The car has a set of HSD dualtech coilovers , HICAS removed Drift works arms and adjustable front camber arms. It is lowered 2cm all round. My 350z has been taken on the track .... also a GT car and it certainly didn't behave like that , I was running conti sport contacts which felt great. Any tyre recommendations welcome. Cheers, Adam

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I'm looking to get some new tyres for back of mine. Car is around the 460bhp mark and running 255/35/18 Pzeros at the back. Just finished a wet track day and have to say I was shocked at the lack of grip from the rear (tyres have 4.5mm) What tyres would you guys recommend for all year round with driving including track days? I am going to buy 265/25/18's Thanks, Adam

Cheers gazz, Going to put some more photos on my journal thread. Also going to develop the car some more . All the mods i have done over the last few months have made it a great car to drive .Nothing could keep up on the straights

I went to llandow race circuit in the pissing rain and tried to keep my zed in a straight line!!!! Absolute animal of a car , needs more grip though.

Nice Unit ! Wish I had one like that

Thanks Jeff, I have just ordered one from maplins for 79p :-) I'll give atp electronics a call now and see if they can fit me in . I owe you a pint.

Hi Guys, I have got a new ECU but I need to get a chip socket so I can have my new ecu chipped, does anyone know where I can get a chip carrier/ socket? I have emailed Noz and there is no response , I have tried the phone numbers on his website and they are both out of action. Anyone know where I can buy one ? Thanks, Adam

Thanks for the help guys , it was an intercooler hose . All sorted and running sweet again

Hi Guys, Bit of an update I have tracked down a big exhaust leak on the passenger side manifold /turbo. My aussie down pipe had a little blow at the lower flange which made it hard work to track down. When the car was was barely ticking over I could actually see the exhaust gasses by cylinder 6. I'm unassuming because the leak is before the turbo this is air leak and the reason why she is dumping loads of fuel in ? Very glad I have stainless manifold with no heat shields , this may be a pain to get to but not impossible.

Hi Jeff , I took the maf off and it was dry inside . I also unplugged it and it made it worse (wouldn't rev cleanly higher up ) , yes I do have an induction kit with filters that are 7 months old and a standard nose panel . I checked the boost hoses on the fmic . Will have a look tomorrow when I've relaxed a bit . Cheers for the help

Hi guys, Was out for a blast today and had issue. Was giving it some beans 6-7rpm in first and had Loss of power and a back fire out the exhaust. The car stuttered and yo yo' d with power cutting in and out, The car eventually died was chucking loads of black smoke out both exhausts. The car fired straight back up but won't idle . The car bogs down until about 3k then revs cleanly. Weird thing is I left the car for a bit (45mins) when I started it idled perfectly. As soon as I reved it up , it went back yo running like dog shit again. So far I have cleaned all the plugs as they were fouled. Cat started straight up and idled for 2 mins perfectly, touched the throttle to reverse of the drive and now back to square one again. No codes. Good compression on all 6 . It's almost like it's on the idle switch them as soon as the TPS send the signal it chucks a load of fuel in . Any help is appreciated !

I bet that is absolutely mental to drive , is it N/a or tt ?

Hi guys , I'm sick of looking at the clear /Crystal lenses on my jap import tt. Does anybody have some smoked /tinted ones for sale ? Pre facelift . Cheers Adam

That's it Pete, 3 inch width all the way to flange. most systems are 2.5 inch all the way i believe
