Are those the stainless steel pod filters that Blitz make? They suck at filtering out dust. Don’t think there is any proven Hp increase just by changing air filters but if you can feel it that’s all that matters

Did you notice oil in te spark plug chambers? Simply putting 98 in the car won’t help if it’s mixing with 95 from your last fill up. Highly likely it’s a misfire, but if that was the case you SHOULD get an engine check light if it persists. He car feeling better after an ECU reset is because t...

factory one only weighs 9kg apparently, don't think you saved more than 2-3kg By the way I was referring to a 300ZX bonnet but still I thought Bol&%$ks that can't be right. So I got out the scales and blow me down Driftin is pretty close. Wow stock is 9kg (well actually 9.3kg) but my CF one is ...

350Z Bleeding coolant lines

Just thought I'd share my experience changing out my thermostat this morning on the 350Z: I can't confirm for sure, but I think my thermostat was stuffed and to be safe ordered a replacement NISMO low temp thermostat to replace (as well as new fan motors and a temp sensor just to be safe). Using goo...

I’m just going to revive an old thread just because I’m bored and to help those who stumble along it asking the same question:

Short answer:

Polyurethane bushes / mounts, the rubber mounts were made with comfort in mind. Do the differential bushing and then the subframe with “collarsâ€￾ and you’ll notice a huge difference in suspension / chassis flex under heavy acceleration and cornering.

Go for a staggered wheel setup, I had 9.5 and 10.5inch rims, the large 275 tyres in the back kept the ass in line when putting the power down transistioning through corners, try doing that with factory mags and you’ll end up drifting. I wouldn’t touch the factory suspension (shocks / springs) if you have the track model or atleast a lot of money to do it right, some aftermarket kits a rubbish and can’t be set up properly and also require supporting mods such as adjustable camber arms / toe arms - at this point stiffer suspension will put a strain on your stock rubber mounts, bushes etc so keep that in mind and upgrade all those as well.

Windscreen Rubber seal

Has anyone found or sourced replacement rubber weather seals for the bottom corners of the windscreen? The ones that always seam to go dry and brittle at the edges

Thanks, I might make a trip up. Not many places want to touch a Z where you can’t just swap out standard bolted part

Re: Daytime running lights and highflow cats on a 2005 DE

Looking at ordering some day time running lights to replace the ugly reflectors in the front bumper. Any issues with them? Does anyone know of a seller in NZ? Also is there much difference in the DE vs the HR style for mounting? the HR ones look so much better is all. The other thing i'm looking fo...
