  1. That's desperate... what do they think they are worth??? Is the car parked on the road? They'll be back if they've spotted it and you're lucky they didn't get pi**ed off and torch the car when they didn't get the wheels off...
  2. classic, maybe it should be as a banner in ther e
  3. to be a nice forum? Plenty more out there, one will drop in your lap before you know it. Are oyu looking for any colour in specific or will any due?
  4. Think uk car with JDM type registration plate. JDM do not have the washer for the lights, don't forget to do a hpi check on it and most will be revealed. Imo I rather have the org intake box with a panel filter.
  5. I find the z very well behaved with my 17 and f1 tyres, when it let's go it does so with warning so you can decide how much throttle to give her to keep it well belowthe edge. Think key is smoothness and not to much. :-)
  6. autoglym aqua wax works great as touch up. Car looks sweet really nice stance
  7. maybe your caliper only need a bit of a clean? take it off and clean the cylinders with brakefluid I normally use a 100% cottong tshirt piece thats done its time on me if your unlucky they might have seized on one side so you might need to use air to pop them out or what I do is normally use a piece of wood and while still connected to the brake line brake the car and force out any seizure. If you're even more unlucky the fluid might be rotten and as a result they've made the rings melt or stuck onto the cylinders and when you try and work these out they break. I'd pick up a repair kit for it before I got started anyway.
  8. what if they don't fit? Not bad price if the pads and discs are in good working order
  9. Windows 7 Pro FREE (Microsoft Gold Partner status) PS I would be happy to build this for anyone else that was interested, at cost price of course on the first one, you'll see that it's not covered to install it on a PC for home use in a car on the second one I'll hold you to that!
  10. What exact wheels are they mate? Not sure you'll be able to sort it without swapping the wheels out then, maybe you can use another option and upgrade the pads and disc to something better? I can see you're using yellowstuff, is that with standard discs? Maybe get braided lines and better pads and discs and new fluid ... not sure whats really out there for the JDM calipers I used yellowstuff and they faided very quickly on track. Keeping air at them is key though, I'm trying to figure out how to make some airducts to my fronts at the moment so if you got any tips let me know
  11. half price what I paid for my 64Gb one typicall. Well on found on some ubuntu place that they recommended to turn off the swap drive to slow down writes to the SSD drive. Im not sure since its not been around for too long to know whats what really. My plan on mini pc would be to have a 2.5 inch drive with 160 odd Gb on it and sync with my server once I come into the drive if Ive changed stuff on it. In my mind a minipc drive in a car wouldnt have much new information written to it most of the time so it should be sufficient to set it all up take an image of the drive and store outside the car and use a SD card type media to move use files on the computer, or Wifi / Bluetooth via home while on the drive.. or via 3G with the HTC phone used as a internet router (Android 2.2)
  12. that looks very tight with the JDMs on, my 17" standard Z wheels clear the brembos but its mm fitting. Not sure re yours since they look tight, is it little clearance on the rears too? Id sell whatever you have and get a set of nice Rays instead
  13. Woho cool geek stuff... solid state I'm not sure its worth it. Have a 64gb on my eee and it cost more then the pc itself! Also some guys talk about life will be hit by lots of read writes for swap and cache. Get two drives instead and image copy once your happy with it.
  14. lifetime warranty? funny that one... Anyway I use Berks and have had no problem with them so far and the flow nicely. Will still see if they'll pass the NCT though. thats pretty nice value: http://www.kinetixracing.com/kinetixple ... 03-06.aspx
  15. true but they are art cans not decats really... read here: http://www.importtuner.com/tech/impp_10 ... index.html and here: http://www.my350z.com/forum/intake-exha ... pipes.html maybe not worth it...
  16. andlid

    dyno help

    good man! start a build thread and you got a good baseline to monitor where you where and where youre going!
  17. Get a set of these from Abbey (they stock some motordyne stuff) http://www.motordyneengineering.com/ind ... 0126e406f5 Advanced Resonance Tuning (ART test pipes) for the HR engine (note that its not a cat so wont pass mot)
  18. then again they are used to Auto boxes I wouldnt go back.
