  1. How can i have a short swifter or whatever its called as well????
  2. Im lost too Oh right...nissan only fitted the parts....and fitted the disks the wrong way round....disks overheated...cracked...boiled fluid...calipers knackered...
  3. I dint buy anything from nissan...both times....and i dont want brembos on the car either!!! still dont quite get what you mean dude!
  4. so would you be happy to return them and get 2.100€ back? What do you mean???
  5. Unfortunately there is no death penalty for these things....i wouldnt mind the islamic law either....like chop their hand off in the city's main square!!!!
  6. Dixcel disks, matching pads, motul 660, 4 calipers roughly 2k with fitting about 100 quid. I got some titanium shims as well....but thats me being paranoid now!!!
  7. Been to see the nissan guys yesterday....the mechanic that did it is not there any more (how strange) but i spoke to the manager.... he seemed quite worried and understanding, he asked me what i would be happy with and a copy of the fitment instructions as it will go higher than him...he had a good look as well and offered to put the new brakes on for free.... I obviously said no thanks but i dont quite know what to ask for...the whole thing cost me well over 2k and still the calipers on all 4 corners are second hand... I am having the whole set up fitted tom and then i am off to see them and give them a copy of the instructions Alex posted here. What should i ask for? i am not the type of person that feels comfortable about these things...but do you not think that they should pay a part of the bill??? something like what i paid for DBA disks, pads, fitting them and a part of the caliper cost? I am wondering whether just 4 new calipers from them and nothing else would be better as i will at least have new calipers this way and it will be easier for them do deal with the whole thing. I dont want people to get into trouble for smth that could have happened accidentally.... Mind you they did some paint work that wasnt good at all and i paid for them to increase the ride height but they lowered the front instead so i had to do it myself in the end....
  8. that what i wanted to hear got any pics of it fitted???? viewtopic.php?f=64&t=27252 exhaust and if you scroll a bit further down the intakes.... mind you i havent solved the CEL light still...plus fuel consumption was bad...i v got a heavy foot....i thought it cant get any worse..... After the mods....it defo can!!!! i am always 2 gears down, gas/brake, accelerate for the sake of it way of driving....
  9. Looks good....not sure about the cover tho...a bit too much!
  10. Nismo intakes and nismo exhaust....absolutely fantastic....above 4k revs and full throttle insane!!!! Sunday at xscape for live performance....
  11. Although i may not like it once fitted....
  12. I asked them during the last service back in June and they said they are using fully synthetic now...

    heel+toe

    I must admit my right ankle needs warming up....once warm i v got no probs....mind you i like wide shoes and i am a 10 and a half...so i just slide my foot to the right a bit... if i proper heel toe then my braking doesnt feel even....i suppose a different pedal would help... but then again i quite like the fact that on every day driving i never accidentally hit the brakes while accelerating....
  15. I bought mine new in 2008 and never heard of them!!!! Maybe they are scared i ll wreck it.....
  16. 245/45 are more expensive than 245/40 as well... i am on my 3rd set of ps2s...which is on the way out as well... the tyre shop guy said smth about back order the other day for the 45s but i didnt pay much attention tbh....just told him to go for the 40s all round again. never had issues with the 40s...and i remember Phil saying its ok as well...the speedo is 7mph off at 80mph according to the road angel and about 3-4 at 50 tho... but even the price of the 45s is frustrating...especially when you are doing track day work... if you find any 45s let me know about the price....good luck
  17. Cheers dude, we will have to sort something out, although im not getting dragged into making any movies with you You can always be the camera man....
  18. What you trying to say Chris???? ur car looks fantastic m8!!! come up to Hull for a weekend...i ll ask darren as well...its a good night out!!!
  19. Looks like good fun.... Darren i love your cambers m8!!! Madmarky's car looks awesome.... although somehow tilted to the right???
  20. Spotted loads on the M62/M60 sat/sunday...mainly grey and gun metal..common as dog s..t i thought i saw a red/purple (ladies here help me with colors) one as well going opposite on the M60 Plus i saw one on a recovery track in Manchester...it was grey....
  21. I am afraid guys things are about to change in the legislation regarding nitrous oxide since there is no happy medium in our actions!!!! As you know laughing gas is not illegal in the UK (possesion and use..administration to people is regulated)...but since about 2007 there is a new fashion in clubs and festivals in the UK and all over the world (ie Megaluf), the balloon fashion!!! I wont go on about the effects and potential risks here although you are free to ask...or google.... However there is an increasing health and safety issue from deaths already and as a result changes in legislation will be imminent. The problem for us is that NOS is one of the worse greenhouse gases and highly dangerous for the ozone layer. Its actually worse than CFCs. Which means that no matter what, the new legislation will affect the use of NOS in cars!!!! A scarcely used 30 sec fix in cars will be over because some thick, uneducated, immature kids need a 30 sec laughing fix!!!!! Arrrrggghhhhhh
  22. dude!!!! Be patient...you will get used to the car...the handling is so sweet and predictable that now i want to find a way to have the ESP off by default and turn it on when i want it instead of the other way round!!! I suppose it depends on the tyres as well.....bridgestones 040 are bad in the wet...pilot sports 2 and you will never look back! in any case a very very extensively covered topic here...have a look around.... Now go out there and get used to the car!!! ps if it ever loses grip...lay back, relax, be gentle with the steering (doesnt need much to correct), gently play with the throttle, 200 yards after stop on the side, light a fag and once your hands stop shaking take a pic of your smile and post it here!!!!
  23. Gutted martin i couldnt make it...but the car is not ready yet...hopefully all will be sorted out on friday... hope you all have a fab time with no mishaps
