Im lost too

so would you be happy to return them and get 2.100€ back? What do you mean??? isnt that what your cost is from nissan?

so would you be happy to return them and get 2.100€ back?

how much did this cost you in the end? (only from the shop and what they did not including any other stuff you bought?)

Nice price +1.... wonder what the quality is like... does it come painted like that (like their website.)

can the same not be said for the nismo v1/2/3 bumpers? officially on nismo z's and if yours isnt then it shouldnt be wearing it? I quite like the blue gtr stylee bumper but the nismo 350z bumpers are the furthest i'd stray from the original lines as i think they're the most sympathetic to its style... i would say that though i have a v2 front bumper waiting to be fitted! lol not sure i agree the Nismo Stuff was from Nissan and could be got as an option (albeit a very expensive option) and is in keeping with the car. i do agree with what you said though about it followiung the lines and being the furthest you'd stray. i have always gone for manufacturers aftermarket kits. i went TRD on my Toyota. ... you went 'copy of trd' I'd say ? Have an altezza and to be fair to many peps out there using the TRD stuff... (copies)

Hiya, do you have any more product spec on that 'nob' ? Is it only the screw nob or is this a nob and a stick setup? Reason I ask is you can get them for 110€ from JPY +TAX/Shipping for nob only. Not trying to ruin a group buy mind just wondering if these are greater then the normal nob. a

glws, sent link to a mate.

..next time you can check the 5 lights at the back of the tower normally tells you whats wrong , amber green etc. http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/s ... rouble.htm

nice job

happened to me too once in a carpark... some nutter parked their work van so close I couldnt even get into the door let alone open it. He had a number on it so called yer man and asked if he had a blue van parked in this carpark. He said yes I do, thinking he'd get some business his way I guess. I told him I 1st needed it moved and also that he had smashed the door into the rear wheel arch and left a dent in my car that I wanted him to pay for. . He asked again what colour it was and I said BLUE! He went off the phone and at that point i saw there where more vans with his company name on it... he came back and said the driver of tht van says he didnt dent any car etc. whatever. I told him to come down adn take a good look at my car and the van. He came down 5 min later with the driver behind him. Took one good look at the way the parking was done and shock my hand. Was talking for a while with me and then asked the driver for the car keys. He'd 4got them... ooohu Never seen someone so angry before 'the foreman' shouted at the driver and he took off faster then I'd ever seen such a big man move... he came back and unlocked the van, the 'foreman' opened the door and it fitted straight into the dent... Told me to get a quote to get it fixed and he'd sort me out. Which he did... 150€ later and dent not so obvious thanks to dentman.ie (he said it would cost 200€ for a full respray which is / was needed to get it 100%...) So thanks to yer man the driver told me while he reversed the car that he was sorry... I answered, no your not... you're sorry you didnt move the van! hate parking, get all my dent and scratches that way. Think over there in the uk there is a bit more respect then here even... A.

Glad im not the only one that failed miserably is there some sort of technique to it? as i just seem to get faster each time its much easier to learn from a higher speed imo under more braking as it smooths it more. like an empty motorway slip lane with plenty of room to recover, 70-0. best way to start is begin braking having your foot positioned how you will have it, dont touch the throttle at this point. do this till your comfy braking with your foot at this funny angle. now with the car stationary with the engine running press the brake and pactice using the throttle, pick a number of revs and try to get it while holding the brake then try mving about the revs to get a feel for it so its familiar. holding the brake as you do this. now go onto the road and give it a go. plenty of room required to be safe with noone about, track would be ideal. put the two motions together, at first you will find you give it to much and it lurches or too little. tis all about practice thats how i was tought. cheers, thats on my to do list now btw, first time I tried braking with my left foot.... = glad there is a law to wear seat belts It was in my dad's chevy with him in it and me as a 'learner' driver. Never seens someone so close to hitting the front windshield with there head... practice makes perfect though and managed it real good in the end. Since lost that 'skill'... so if you dont use it I suposse you loose it Think this might be something that I could film, just need to find a good area to practice it on. A.

Yes thats how slipper clutches work. There is no resistance to engine braking - ie if engine is spinning slower than wheels, it will just let the clutch "slip" so that it doesnt lock the back wheels up. Thats why its used in motorbikes as engine braking in bikes can easily lock the back wheel. Not really worth it in a car. hmm my own experience on track on bike with slipper clutch is that it slowly engage the clutch with the engine; engine braking still occurs but the rear wheel doesn't lockup. I need to investigate this further btw, tried a heal toe downshift earlier today... lol think I'll do it on closed road the next time...

Not sure a slipper clutch would work on a car really. For bikes, sure its all good as rev matching on them is harder and its easier to lock the rear. But on a car it would just mean no engine braking! ^^^ Is that right that the car wouldn't engine brake? hmmm don't think so it would just make the downshifting smoother and you wouldnt need to use a blip...

I see one parked in the Royal College of Surgeons Car Park (Q-Park) in Dublin every day I park there... hope it's none from here because it seems to get into worse and worse nick with scratches and dents and bumps from someone that doesn't look after it...every day

Man i love your style!!!!!!

Dont brake... Never had to drive that with my Z to be honest (take it 'handy'), suposse it would be needed if you track it and want to push her further. (kinda like a V-twin on the track, blipping the throttle) I saw that the 370z has this blip built in! I think I'd have a hard time concentrating on driving and trying to keep the revs perfect while downshifting. Maybe practice make perfect? Must ask the Haltech crew if there is any plans to make this as a firmware upgrade for their ECU Not sure if there are any 'slipper clutches' for the Z?

Install Cooliris if you want to watch them on facebook (makes it much more enjoyable!) Looks like great fun to be had! A.

looked like you had a good time! Great looking Z's all around. Still waiting for the vids to download...

Do like that black one... looks cool and not like a GTR but more a custom Z Probably no funds for outside styling...

just got nos'ed out, so happy i never watched that one... hmmm just did accidently have 4 of them... sorry. prefer get-away-sthlm

/. nice one, what you where going to swap them out in the mot centre like? dont think mine will make the sound levels though, will be interesting to find out
