    What else?

    New diff , coilovers, arb's, oil cooler and bigger rad if you track it.
  3. the lads doing it properly have guide hours for doing such a job and if it takes more they'll charge you more (per the hour)...
  4. Yeah we are almost there...
  5. Whats the alternative? If someone else fab them then go to them I'd say. Have you looked into anyone doing a custom fabrication of the brace kits? A bit strange they won't fill an order...

    Holiday Romance

    Great but quiet! Sounded ace when giving it beans but very quiet when cruising. Jayne and I discussed this, we'd have put Lexxs exhaust from his vxr8 on it! next time stop at a hardware store and get a nr 12 drill bit and drill the rear muffler a bit v8 needs to be loudish

    Holiday Romance

    What did she sound like?
  9. Wouldnt take the vet unless old one..
  10. yeah tuneability should probably be compared on a non invasive operation as chipping etc. not engine work.
  11. What brakes are on them to cost 4k to replace?? :0 tyres would be easy to pick something else rather then standard..and as someone pointed out pick a specialist company to service or do some yourself...
  12. twin turbo, aps systems. anyway if he is taking it all off I'd say no drama. the pipes will be to long to be honest so tell him to ONLY cut the top rad pipe not the bottom (no need) it might hit the pullies if he does. I got a spare lower one if you need it lol
  13. Something I should pass onto the lad who is going to be doing the work, is it a bitch? yup, you wont be able to fit the oem fan shrowd behind it (maybe if you don't have APS kit it might work but not chance if you do have it!) I couldnt fit any type of shrowd and had to use fan fitting kit for my slim fans that I got. 10" fans, I could have gone 12" but they're is little need since they do very little over 20mph+ (and if they're is a fan it'll restrict flow anyway. If you need any help fitting the fans let me know, I'm guessing you can't re-use the oem cabling so you need to be a bit nifty with the install... Ah bolox this sounds like a nightmare. I have mishimoto fans and shroud inbound in the mail, hopefully they will fit ok since they looked a bit slimmer, otherwise my mechanic will have to engage in a bit of jiggery pokery or ill have to send the bastard back and fork out even more money. might be easier to fit if you take the bumper off and the support stuff and fit it that way. I ripped out the old rad shrowd, ripped out the old rad and fitted my new rad by sliding it down. Might be much easier when you don't have a tt fitted, the AC pipes will be moved out of the way either way. But you won't have the IC pipes to battle with. Make sure to give whomever are fitting this stuff enough info to do it so they dont destroy it
  14. oooooo yes please i love the NSX
  15. To expand... you might be dead tomorrow so get that box checked "I owned a GTR R35" in the black book.

  17. same one that I got maybe not use the 1.3 bar cap on that unless needed. swap over the oem one. gluck installing it!
  18. You'll still need a radiator tho....... They do radiators too on their ebay store. We shall see, I've ordered the radiator and the Mishimoto fans, knowing my luck if it can go wrong it will go wrong. u got a linky or some data of it?
  19. japspeed dont actually make the rads though, the buy some other 'brand' ( i think) the rad I got was / is pretty good holding up well and wasnt pricey. another lad on here got it, 55mm so it's a bit tight but fits with aps tt kit in there. I've seen 'better' brands leaking with little to no use so wouldn't really be to bothered about their price... custom made in the uk might be the best option but will probably cost a good bit more then 200£ get a cheaper one and be prepared to replace it a bit more often...pm me if you want the linky to where I got it.
  20. looking good out there...
