i am not really sure about this Rich as i think a while ago when i was siffing around the GTROC for an R34 there was someone who had an issue with this i may recall it was retractable but past 70mph it would flex inwards completely horizontal and therefore the plate could not be seen The argument was if its not to break the law why do you have it The same argument goes for sitting in your car at the drivers seat on your driveway with no key in the ignition(in the house even) but you just happen to be over the limit You would be done for drink driving still its all about percieved intent mate

Good eye for detail mate i did it on purpose to save the frontlip. (~25mm vs 35mm) I will raise the rear to 25mm when doing my geometry before leaving for the Ring in May

Because life without risk is boring and because i have been in the game long enough to know what i need to to achieve set goals when modding i feel really bad you got stung but there are always ways of making sure you get what you are paying for secondly i do aggree that not every thing can be bought used i just felt you where slating my suggestion, which is only that and at the end of the day Rob will do what Rob needs to do but as he posted was open to imputs and ideas. Anyway i see your angle especially with what you have been through and take no further offence Hope you see where i was comming from too ol' chap

doesn't longer overhang = more weight = bad for performance? Or are you hoping for extra downforce? this stuff hardly weighs at all and the downforce trade off will be more Hope you are planning a proper splitter at the front to even out the extra downforce at the rear Chris you are always on the all you Not really doing much to the front as the veilside V1 lip is enough and the weight bais is to the front anyway so need more at the back which has lost all the sound deadenning, thick carpet, tools/jack, spare wheel, factory back box and tonneau. (I reckon at leat 30-40 kgs lost) It is probably why despite all attempts at getting a fully neutral setup i always have a liftoff oversteer in tight corners or rear squirm on hard braking especially in the wet which makes for and lively drive At least its progresive now and predictable so more downforce

When did genuine used parts become cheapo parts? Are we talking the samething here? who are you trying to impress Why would I try to impress? I don't really care what people think - if I did then a lot of the parts on my car wouldn't be there I just buy what I can afford Who said anything about used parts But on the subject of used parts there are somethings that I would buy & have bought second hand even though I got stung on one occassion but things like engine internals & superchargers/turbos I would only ever buy new Just like you bought the zed new My point was buying used is not necesarily buying cheap. Some people have valid reasons to do so and i would call them cheap or bodgers like you insinuated

Its not cheap Ian. just thinking with your head. If you do your research well and get them checked you can get very good deals preowned. Nurris's kit for and example. I GTM checked the kit i was about to buy and vouvhed its condition so if you got any reputable shop to do so before you buy it a no brainer! But i guess some people have too much money to sink in the pit.

They look lush Do they come with the PF 01 pads? i have then since january with my Ksport BBK and they have immense stopping power and fade free...just a bit dustier with the occasional squeal However might not be so with the PF rotors Its a shame they don't do a matching rear set
-
well done for keeping the Z lexx and even better in going FI and TT for that matter I think the GTM kit is a comprehensive kit and should just be bolt on I know Ian had some issues with them but they have a good reputation and i found it easiy to communicate with them when making enquiries in picking up a vortech kit they had installed to aprevious customer. Personally i wouild save myself some money and get a low mileage preowned one and put the savings towards preowned forge internals the high torque with TT is the killer and if you really want to safely enjoy the car. you can do this through a reputable gararge who can check everything before shipping! Use bundlevox for shipping and save youself a bundle too! you tell them what the kit is worth and they get it to Uk and can sort out duty for you to saving you shed loads. the other thing is you can store all you parts there and then send all as one shipment for free withing one months or for a small charge thereafter! Goodluck with everything and we look forward to your progress thread

For Sale Posts and Approval Problem
GT4 Zed replied to Beavis's topic in Forum IT Issues & Bug Reporting
Sorted then boss But going back on this: I still think it is the onus of the buyer to take all precaustions and satisfy themselves that all is well before they buy! there is no way you can stop the cheats despite photos and dates i will only buy from older members or traders and if buying from a new member i something request to speak to them or get emails sent to gauge everything is ok! As said before good work chaps and hopefully this forum will only continue to attract decent folks -
doesn't longer overhang = more weight = bad for performance? Or are you hoping for extra downforce? this stuff hardly weighs at all and the downforce trade off will be more Secondly if you take us to healthier pubs during meets, i could loose some weight I'm up to 102kgs recently from 97kgs a year ago

For Sale Posts and Approval Problem
GT4 Zed replied to Beavis's topic in Forum IT Issues & Bug Reporting
I appreciate what you guys are doing Mods but this will be very painful in the end why not lock the thread until everything is approved then release it? For instance i have just editted that i have sold some items to prevent unnecessary interest and the post has gone again for reapproval The buyers should ignore items which are not posted properly to safeguard themselves and seller be warned if not posted properly and fine if necessary Personally, i am for a nominal fee eg £5 for any sales post to cover admin costs etc and generate some income for the forum but i donot buy into this invasion or nannyism which is also plagueing every fabric of our society now. Just my opinion and a few ideas thrown about and nothing else chaps -
Thanks mods for sorting the thread out! Open for business lads and ladettes

It's ok, player took 1 at the resevoir Thanks Rich/Neil This diffuser was just bolted on temporarily with what we had in hand to make the meet and show how well it fits As i wrote in my assessment of the diffuser you can get black domed bolts, fill it up, bond it, paint it or make the inside smooth or made in CF at extra cost or made shallower like the topsecret for OEM sized exhausts Or whatever you liked could be done by Rik. viewtopic.php?f=127&t=33600&start=15 I for one was impressed with the fit and the fact that is works and Rik will be making a bespoke one with a longer overhang to use exclusively on trackdays and so I will only have it as bolt on

OK i hope its all ok because it took a while to do. Its all posted with my forum name and date -
I spent a few hour tonight uploading pics and describing/updating my items(20+) for sale. I finally previewed it and was happy with everything then submitted no problems. i then checked later to see if there was some interest before i went to bed but could,nt find it looks like the whole post has just vanished which it shouldn't as it is an edit but it seems to have disappeared . Please can any of the mods clarify or look into this
