introspect

Wow, quite a transformation. Love the rear bumper with the diffuser . Those arches look MASSIVE! The standard arches aren't exactly small, but those are beasts

To be fair, I don't think the Bridgestone are actually a bad tyre, they are just not suited to every day driving in this climate. They are probably much better for track days in dry conditions as they perform much better with some heat in them. I have T1R's on they are much more suitable for everyday road driving, especially in the wet. The back end used to be much more twitchy in the wet with the Bridgestones. So I think it's a case of horses for courses. Slicks give the best grip but would be horrendous on the road and in the wet, doesn't mean they are a bad tyre, just that they need the right conditions to perform.

As much as I love Jap cars, £125k for a Nissan is crazy talk. You'd have to be a serious window licker to get one of these

Like the sound of the cooling panel. Any idea on cost?

That air intake on the side is enormous! Looks like a supercar mongrel. Lots of different cars melded together

Sounds like a good idea! Where's the best place to get some?

You could always fit mirrors to the other side of your car so people see the reflection of the wheels and they look the right way round!

How the hell do some of those cars get round corners? Some of them look so low that I don't see how the wheels can turn under the arches . Really don't like the stretched tyre look, just looks like they've fitted the wrong sized tyres Love the beetle though

Yeah, thought I might as well get them done while under warranty. Just hope these don't start bubbling

I thought about it but noone can see all 4 wheels at the same time!!!! Fair enough, they're not to my taste but as long as you're happy with them

Went to Westway Nissan Stockport a few months ago to make a warranty claim for two alloys which had the dreaded bubbling (only very small amount but it was there). Took a longer than I expected and had to chase them up a few times (so nothing unusual there) but I ended up getting all 4 alloys replaced! I have noticed that they don't have the blue dots on them so I assume they must be refurbs. This doesn't really bother me as two of the wheels they replaced didn't have any corrosion and I had kerbed them a bit, so can't really complain. Overall a bit of a result!

I don't think they swap the direction of the blades for the opposite side of the car so the left side will point in a different direction to the right side of the car. Not necessarily a problem, just need to be aware of it.

I suppose it was only a matter of time http://www.autotrader.co.uk/EDITORIAL/CARS/news/NISSAN/OTHER/nissan_gtr_is_a_wrap_star.html WARNING: This may hurt your eyes and make you feel wrong.

It will be interesting to see what happens to residuals after a year or so when people start seeing stories like this. I think the cost of maintaining and repairing one of these far outweighs the relatively cheap price tag of the car itself.

Think I'm gonna have to start hanging around in car parks more often

Good luck selling an '03 for £20k Does have nice seats though

Got my pedal today and just fitted it. A great little mod, highly recommended. Thanks for organising this

A place called Everalls 35a Blackfriars Road, Manchester M3 7AQ tel: 0161 835 1699 Ask for Andy.

I can reccomend the HKS Racing Suction as a really nice induction kit. Not cheap, but looks and sound really cool. Have a look at mine here http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=27599

That price also included putting new fluid in if that helps

Pretty sure I paid £80 for fitting mine at a place in Manchester. That was on Brembo's too.

Yeah, I think I might give it a try. Like you say, for £40 why not!

Sorry if this is a thread hijack, but has anybody used these guys before? http://www.groundingkits.co.uk Reasonable price and look pretty cool (quite fancy a blue one myself).

Interesting that the GT-R is already getting some tweaks. Wonder if it's as a result of user feedback? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/EDITORIAL/CARS/news/NISSAN/OTHER/nissan_gtr_now_even_better.html
