I also have Scorpion,and sound is fantastic. Dont come up 2nd hand that often,as they are so good,but you may get lucky. I do 2/3 gears through tunnels,windows down.

Car looks fantastic,you must be very pleased. I like the look of the front bumper with the badge,as it makes it look more standard than having it smoothed,and also breaks up the area a little bit.

Stock 19" Enough said! For me it was a visual thing,and it seems that alot of people that saw my car just after i got them agree,transform the car.

A couple of people have had issues with fitment of the Japspeed exhausts,Scorpion ones appear to be better built and fitment is alot more consistent

Today I will be doing a lap of the M25! Dropping Estelle off at Heathrow about 11,then heading to Essex to see my sister and mum in Leigh on Sea,then heading back to Milton Keynes later today. Give me a wave or toot if you see me in my Azure

Thats one very good looking car!

I must admit that my car has a Megan Y pipe,it was fitted before I got the car,and its holding up alright,though the wire mesh over the flexi areas has now gone,never to be seen again. They probably dont have the resource to do proper testing and flow dynamics on their parts,as im sure someone like Stillen do. The Megan stuff is probably just copies of more expensive products. Its not to say the quality is worse,it probably isnt,its just that they have copied a more expensive item without doing any proper testing,thats why they can sell them cheaper. You know,like what HTC et all have done to Iphone!

People will probably find that Apple's budget for R+D is smaller these days than what Samsung etc spend because 5 years ago,maybe more they probably spent 2x the Samsung budget to get the Iphone to the market to start with. Once thats up and running,you dont need to spend that amount again,as its constant evolution. Its the same with anything like that. Samsung etc have had to spend £££££££ on R+D to get anywhere near Apple,and 5 years after the original was launched. (Or however long ago it was) I was always skeptical of Apple stuff untilI started to use it (currently typing on a MacBook). I also have Apple TV3,and an Iphone 4. I find that all the stuff is easy to use and integrates well with each other,with very few issues. My mrs can work Apple TV and I have never shown her how. We can wirelessly stream music,videos and photos to the TV,and all of it works together. Yes the products are expensive to buy initially,but they also hold their value too,and atleast every Apple product iv touched has felt well made and engineered,which is more than can be said for alot of products. Either you get Iphones and Apple or you dont,simple as,there will always be a market for such things,just as there is for Android.

To start with,you are going to struggle,as iv been looking and there seems to be a shortage at the moment. Also,there are side effects to the SMF. You will loose low rev drivability and you will get increased noise "chatter" below about 3k. However they are meant to be very good and really help the V6 rev. Unless a trader on here can appear with one,you may have to source one from the USA or ebay,but thats abit risky

Have to dissagree there Daryl. We have seen any number or reports of traction control problems when there is a huge wear difference between the the front and rear tyres. Bear in mind the profile change going on aside from simple lack of grip at the front end that is likely to be triggering the TC. And that is not taking account of different tyre makes where the tyre structure/compound are not the same front to rear. I would put money on things being fine if the OP puts a new 452's on the front as well. You would wouldnt you! Fair point though.

Tread remaining has nothing to do with it,if the fronts are the wrong size,the TC system will be thinking the wheels are rotating at different speeds,and the TC will be going mad.

Cant believe he has died. What an absolute legend,he has done so much for the safety of F1 over his career, he will be very much missed in the paddock.

You should have asked Beavis, with his love for RB he'd be down there in a flash I could also how him my iPhone!

Corporate policy, has to match the RB colour scheme Just a shame we couldnt get a Red and a Yellow to park next to the black.

^^^ That is right,just been and checked my old Rays in the garage.

Sounds like incorrect tyre profiles to me. What size tyres you got? Rears should be 245/40/R18 IIRC

The middle Azure is actually for sale if anyone is interested.

Got a heads up yesterday morning that Nissan want any owners to park in a specific area together today for a filming and photo shoot. After abit of swearing and seeing how dirty my car was,proceeded to give her a quick wash before work yesterday,then at work its poured with rain,so got up at 6.30 this morning and gave her a quick spritz with QD and took her to work. First Nissan owners there,and as it worked out, we happened to park in order of manufacture,though only noticed this when uploading the photo. Not working till 2,but couldnt miss the opportunity. As i left them at work.

How about BRG with Red lettering? Engine bay looks sexy!

From an engineering point of view that is incredible! I love precision bits of metal and mechanical parts,what a piece of kit. Shame i dont have a 370 or a big enough bank balance to get one converted.

A good friend of mine has an S3,and i thought it was way too large,and actually using it was nowhere near as intuitive or as user friendly as an Apple product. A 4" screen is perfectly fine,besides,they have a tablet for things like movies etc,and an Ipad Nano coming, so why would they make the phone screen bigger? I know it dont look much different, but its whats inside that counts,and from what iv seen,its pretty decent,and im sure the look and feel of it will be superb, as it is with all Apple products, im yet to come across one that feels cheap and nasty. It feels well engineered, which is more than can be said for some rival products.

Should be fine yes, I dont think they changed anything on the rear bumper for the late spec cars

There has been alot of topics on making the gearbox smoother etc,and many garages think that putting any rated gearbox oil in is fine,but you will find that using the proper Nissan stuff with the Moly slip additive will probably make a bigger difference than you think,and will improve the shift more than any other oil combo.

For less than £100 you have nothing to loose really.
