how are you getting on with the coilovers bud? thinking of buying a set...

happy birthday chappie :thumbup1: :punk: :rockon:

on offer at £429 quid :shock: what is the history of this brand yassa? do they supply parts for racing teams?

looks v nice buddy... good stance. what size and offset are your wheels?

happy birthday matey :sorcerer:

jimmytt has 1

happy birthday me old crocker!

:headvswal

not seen it before myself...

yes they are the ones jimmy is using... his are so much more expensive as he has porsche 996 brembo calipers

i dont see the attraction... a lesser spec than my 93 for that much more?

pwoahh!

would look a right mess without the perspex strip chap

with it smoking like that... they'll send him packing!

my opinion: shite grille... wheel centre colour clash, would be much better in an anthracite or silver... and REALLY needs the black pinstripe in the swage line! this is the line that really pulls out the zeds stance... stop doing away with it MOFOs :sneaky2: :glare: :dots: :online2long: :phone:

step up Berrica...

it doesnt matter how nice your alloys are, murphys law is always ready to strike... that's life unfortunately. lol @ comparing a tastefully matching skirt to blatantly terrible attempt, i'v told you a million times, stop exaggerating!

is this the noise you are after? [YOUTUBE]LZUbo_mNDZM[/YOUTUBE] i agree the noise does sound pretty tasty... a much more manly sound then a boy racery dump valve :wacko: but i would never subject my tubbies to that sort of punishment... when your turbos are on full boost and merrily forcing induction, all is well, but with insufficient pressure release or recirculation systems (ie blanking the system completely!) when the throttle is released the demand for air into the engine is released but there is still excess pressure in the system... this excess pressure seeks the easiest possible way out, which is back out across the impellers to the intake. this stops the turbos dead and turns them back the other way in milliseconds (surge) causing massive stress on the blades/bearings. the pressure demand from the engine isn't linear and the engine still needs an intake of air, so this surge will 'flutter' causing your turbos to be rapidly changing direction in a series of surges. on a slightly different scale but the same principle is that in my work i often have to ground run modern gas turbine engines which have lots of compressor control systems to stop surging. these systems have only fairly recently become efficient... i remember, on older 737's with lower bypass engines, surges on ground runs that completely detroy the engine spitting bits of blades out the intake... your z32 surge control systems are bovs or recircs. you'd prolly be unlucky if you managed to destroy blades before the bearings go to pot but either way you will decrease your turbo lifespan drasticly. sorry if this is teaching people to suck eggs but that's a quick run through of it for those who might be interested :nuke:

i think he is trying to achieve the compressor surge noise often mistakenly called wastegate chatter...

thats a manufacturing flaw i'd say... would take a serious amount of time to corrode through that and you can tell its in reasonably good nick... if you contacted eibach they may replace it for foc?

exactly... its the best style change from the 350 to the 370 imo, just a shame about the lights! look on the 350 how the boot line follows the underside of the rear 1/4 window: now look back at the 370z and see how it swoops down from above. very 240 esque and a sexy, yet aggresive stance from it... tis the only part of the 370z that excites me tbh... if they would have got the rest of the design right they could have made it legendary..

Andy P can sort out a name change for you... though the only current names on the 'name change list' that are available are: NewName1 Indecisive Confused Andrew-C Helen

looks smashing chap... not normally a fan of any type of bodykit but i think that really suits the car

not a big fan of the 370z but there is 1 part of it that i really like... the roof line and rear quarter window

if it was oil... you would smell it!
