A few people i chatted to at the drive out asked for pics so here we go, i uploaded some and here they are! Oh and me and a couple of mates on one of our track excursions...

I used to have a White DC5 integra type-r, that was the white (cream) colour and it was possible to get it to shine a bit!! :-)

i expect i will pop along aswell if im not busy.

Sorry to hear about this mate, hope its all resolved (car and washing machines!!) quyickly and cheaply as possible!

Its true, i got many a stare on my way to and back from yours mate, i think the nismo exhaust and orangeish paint helps with that on mine tho!

Thanks guys still undecided on it then, i quite like it with the whole bottom orange, thanks marz, but yeah your right the half orange half black bottom looks a bit dodgy!

Must admit i am now a fan of the Nismo V2 front bumper, does anyone on here have/ have a good picture of the Nismo V2 spoiler aswell??

Hey guys i dont have photoshop and wondered if any of you wizards :-P could shop this picture of bigphils for me Id like to see what it looks like with the bottom lip orange, and just the bit in the middle black, is that doable? Adrian

Seconded, id love to go look at al the Z bits, but its just too far!

Welcome to the forum, im a new owner myself, you have a lot of fun to look forward to!

Well since mucking about with the door the rattle is worse and i get wind noise at speeds over 60 odd MPH, GRRR very annoying! Im guessing that in tightening the bolts i have changed the windows alignment slightly, anyone know which bolts set the windows position, and or will a window reset help in this case? I need to take the glass out and fix the rattle anyway, so i guess i am best to just wait till i do that?

Think i am lucky, i have only recieved glowing comments from others, and the jealous ones are all very nice about it and just want a ride in it!

Great pictures tilly and sam, was waiting for yours, you have got some great ones of my car, thanks. I'm still waiting for the camera man! aka Dan to pull his finger out and email me the photos he took of the day, will post them once i get them. Adrian

Thanks mike, does anyone on here have them fitted, wondered what the rear ones look like from behind? Thinking could be a cheap way to improve the looks whilst saving for nismo kit.

Seen this car for sale with them on, on the bottom of the car behind front/ rear wheels, anyone know what they are? Adrian

well im surprised how good the economy is, i have had between 27.2 and 27.7 on my first 3 tanks. I tried a slow economy drive home one day and managed a clear 33.9mpg, including some round town driving at the end, very good i thought!

This is proving to be a much more difficult decision than i had expected. Been reading up aroiund the internet and it seems the DBA 4000 series rotors are prone to cracking across the small slots, as they go right to the edge? Apparently they have been revised now with a new slot design to stop this, which ones do you have phil? Also cant believe how little choice there is, i was expecting to have loads of different types of discs available, without needing to pay for 2 piece ones!

thanks phil some food for thought there, will have a think on it and give you a call once my mind is made up, would you be able to ship them to where they are being fitted and not my house? Thanks

Just had a P1 service done (at a specialist i trust not nissan) and have been told both the disc and pads at the front end are tired and need replacing. I was hoping to change the stock setup for something a bit better, but not spend the earth, however it doesnt seem like there are many options!!!? Only 'normal' replacement discs i can find are the EBC ones, and im really not a fan of EBC stuff, and although i like the look for the PF ones, £600 is a bit too much to spend on discs for me. Are there any other oprions people might have that i am missing?? Oh BTW car is UK spec with brembos if that makes a difference. Thanks

Ersen doesnt have the 5Zigen anymore... but im keeping my Nismo aswell, only going to use the 5Zigen in summer months

Have had the door card off, tightened everything, no difference. It seems to be the shield around the lock mechanism causing the noise. Asked at nissan they said need to take window out, and remove that black plate to get a better look and see, minimum £100 Can't really attempt it myself, dont want to get stuck with no window, so looks like im stuckj with a rattle for now :-(

So far, the amount of fuel you can put in, damn dodgy dipstick and the DAMN rattle in the drivers door!!!! lol Other than that its great.

i used to use the silkolene pro S from oilman on my old Integra, but the guy i get my servicing done with uses castrol edge 10-60 in everything, as its what his race cars run. Should i avoid that oilin the 350, or would it be ok still? I'm going to have a look round locally and see what i can find in 5-30, but most are in 4l tubs so going to have to get a 4ltr and a 1ltr :-(

Thanks mate hopefully ill get time in the dry to have a look tommorow and will report back!

Sorry to post this its probably been asked before, but im getting the oil / filter done, what oil do people use in their cars? I need to buy the oil tommorow, so is nissan best bet or any other places i can buy it? How much does it use 5 litres enough? Thanks in advance Adrian
