  1. 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.
  2. How about BRG with Red lettering? Engine bay looks sexy!
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Should be fine yes, I dont think they changed anything on the rear bumper for the late spec cars
  6. 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.
  7. For less than £100 you have nothing to loose really.
  8. Indeed,some pretty damning conclusions out there, but today is about the people that were caught up in it and lost their lives or loved ones. I was just about to leave work when the 2nd plane hit,and remember walking past Tesco on my way home seeing all the TV's just inside the door (now at the back of the store) and seeing all the TV's with news channels on showing it all. Got home and watched it for hours.
  9. what year and miles is yours? Mine packed in at 70k/km 3rd was crunching (is) fourth felt really hard to get in, crunch in 1st and 2nd but that went away replacing (hopefully happening as I type this..) with a CD009 donor box that has better design and should last a good bit longer. What oil are you / have you been using? When I stuck Nissan oem oil in and a shot of.. mmm can't remember what it's called it behaved better, think I knackered mine with shortshifter / redline oil combo! Might be better trying to get a CD009 depending on refurbing costs. If the CD009 box is the one from the HR,then i was pretty reliably informed that these do not fit on the De engine,and the Bell housing is a different shape,so maybe worth checking if you havnt already that it will fit. To the OP,trying genuine Nissan gearbox oil with Moly slip and see how you get on with that,as you may save yourself a fortune.
  10. Cant believe it really,i remember what i was doing and where i was on this very day.
  11. Cool and ignore the shipping to UK only info, for people I know, if you want anything I can ship to Canada (or deliver it myself and not come back ) Daryl, the unity remote is a great little device for the money, quite flexible too as you can program your own custom IR devices. I currently have a Logitech 1000 or something,and my mrs finds it abit of a pain,and not actually programmed it for the sky box so havnt used it in 6 months. Is this a better piece of kit?
  12. Great site,really like the Gear4 Unity remote. Looking at creating a home cinema system in about a year, will see what you can offer nearer the time. Good luck with the new venture
  13. Hello and welcome from a fellow MK'er.
  14. Nice C63,sorry to hear you having issues with it. Were the pictures of it taken at Sainbury's car park at the Hub?
  15. Still have this for sale.
  16. These are still for sale.
  17. Managed to pressure test the plenum last night,and all seems fine,nothing else done yet,as wanted to make sure it was air tight before doing anymore work.
  18. Ah yes, i know where that is,just by jnc13. Well if you get stuck week after next,then give me a shout and il pop round.

    Some new pics

    Looks stunning!
  20. Stirling has always struck me as a really decent chap,and most of the 'classic' racers seem to be the same,Jackie Stewart is also very nice and approachable, he came around the factory last year to see how much its changed since he owned the place. Fair play going to have a chat to him,and sounds like a very nice evening.
  21. For you,the first one you get to!
  22. Where in MK are you Tez? On late shift this week and next,but if it drags on to the week after ( I hope not) then im on an early shift so can come round and help out if you want.
  23. I maybe able to do next saturday
