The problem is because Clarkson said it, then it must be true

I'm not sure any dyno operator want to do that many pulls per car, might need to tell them in advance and it might change the pricing and time it would take to go though a few cars on a dyno session.

that actually made me laugh obviously not...

Welcome, me likey the Z

thanks just what I needed It's a sharp turn right when you drive into it like 90degress so pretty hard to line up with the Z, also not sure why they heck the machine started if I was so f*cking in the wrong pos...

rtbiscuit: notice a difference ? A: Thought I'd feel the 100% throttle opening in lower gears but not really, haven't tried to brake the 180km/h barrier either so in short = no (need to try it out when there isn't that much traffic around or on track) nurrish: I dont get it you have a haltech......isn't that a replacement for the nissan ecu? A: No it's not, thought it was too but it's a piggy back so you connect the ECU in front of the standard ECU and let the standard ECU deal with ABS/SLIP/computer stuff. If you want a full replacement you'd be looking at something like MOTEC. _________________ Custom Made 350z Satellite Navigation Systems 3D Maps, Postcode Input, Speed Camera Warnings,European Maps,Fast and Easy to Use

I'll keep you posted... so upset that it actually caused SO much damage! And as for the lads washing your car by hand had my car scratched to @*!# by them... from now on I'll never EVER bring my car to an automatic non-stop-safe-f*cking-carwash. Now to calm my nerves a bit

Took my baby for a spin today since I got back my ECU from Abbey, drove it around the outskirts of Dublin and thought why not treat my little car to a nice warm bath! (carwash) Drove her in and paid for the most expensive car wash on offer (this carwash is an anti scratch one otherwise I was it by hand). Thought the car was a bit closed to the right hand side pillar that has all the washing stuff was going to reverse the car and have proper look (line her up) but the carwash started and began squashing the right hand side wheel arch It kept going so I slammed in reverse and drove her out of the wash ran out of the car and hit the emergency stop (Since the fecking carwash was adamant to keep going!) Look what damage it did Went in and spoke to the guy behind the counter, keeping my cool really f*cking upset me though. He filled some form in and we had a quick discussion about when the manager might be in, so tomorrow I'm going back there to see what the hell I'm going to do about the damage etc... they got it all on CCTV so I'll let the assistant manager have a good look before I call in to them. Fingers crossed I'm not going to have to foot this bill, looks REALLY bad too. That’s what I get because I'm a lazy fecker!

Was toying a bit with the bikes when that arrived! Time to change projects and mount this baby back where it belongs Thanks Mark from Abbey!

good explanation mine pulled 265 org on the dyno on the fly. going to remember the full throttle runs and cool off period I pick a dyno and generally stay with that dyno operator only to see if any mods make difference upwards or downwards (only change if there is mechanical reason to...)

You going to take it for a spin?

Yeah I wouldn't like that one either...

I never thought I'd sell the zed either but there is always something else out there to tempt you............. I think it was fate that made me buy her, wasn't even after something like that!!! I think what will happen is forged internals to 4.15L and TT FI setup and some other bits to keep her not from braking else where and then I'll keep her until they get collectors items (I still have a second car that I can 'trade' up)... Guess it'll be a S4 estate as some stage. Something like this would be cute http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9mdtyQ1x8U Anyway the best way of staying away from temptation is to not taste the fruit! (also drive motorcycles so for ultimate speed / track experience that hunger is well looked after)

I'm afraid I tend to agree. If you are having to get loans etc to cover paying off the car then any issues that may arise and are not accounted for may lead to you resenting it. But if you really really love it then go for it! Whats wrong with having a loan to pay for a car? Im not offended or arguing here, im interested... Ideal world obviously, you'd pay for it outright, but in the real world unless you're very lucky that's not possible. Who has £15k lying about to buy a car outright that isnt: a) still at home with their parents older, therefore had chance to save/make money on property etc c) a spoiled brat d) Have a ridiculously good job (i.e contracting or self employed etc). Im in my mid 20's, only been working for 3 years having come out of Uni so had no chance to save, but earn enough to have a nice car in my life... finance makes the world go round! I bought mine outright a few months ago, and I am none of those! I should add that there's nothing wrong with getting a loan for a car! 700 extra over the term isn't bad either. neither am I but some people might be, suppose he had to stop somewhere couldn't really harp on until Z now could he!

good stuff you changed your mind! Hope your personal stuff will help sort out the loan quicker hey Remember to budget for some other costs, like running costs / repairs... no point in having the car and not be able to run her! All the beast! I'm missing my car something else and it's only been a 1 week and 1/2 since I drove it! Cant actually see me sell her EVER!

hmm just ask them what the story is: Is there any outstanding finance on the car, and work it from there... if you feel its a bit shady walk away, plenty more fish in the sea

Hey there andlid, Thought i'd let you know that i managed to get the exedy clutch and the Fidanza flywheel from CS at a great price So when you start looking be sure to give him a shout!! thx for the update mate, let me know how it's fitting and driving experience please

not again its ok that it has though, ask yer man... knock another few quid off while you're at it

ditto that

sure the heavy cost wont be the price anyway... its when you start lashing out the other €€€ on changing it that's going to cost you BUY not, might be gone tomorrow!

maybe harsh but made me giggle made me LOL

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

guys, wouldn't think its good to run low on the tank... could that not pull some old dirt up?
