So if Tesco did one brand car oil, met all the requirements for your car, next to it was a branded oil for a pound more, which would you go for? If a budget tyre brand made a tyre that was all the same grades as MPS4S, in the real world you dont know how well they actually perform, would you try them or stick with tried and tested? (That ones for Dan) Same question with brake pads and other consumables on a car

True. But fuel is vital to a car and lower grade fuel can affect how a car runs. So take your crisp analogy and shove it where the sun don’t shine Dan Or you could compare it to something like dishwasher tablets, or washing powder. A cheap brand will pass all requirements and do the job fine. Or you could get something of a known brand

So do you feel like Asda’s own brand crisps or would you prefer walkers for a few pence more?

I don’t have the evidence I was told by 3 different mechanics to avoid them When I had my zed I ran it for around 2 years on standard fuel before finding out about the need for premium. Never had any issues. Would I run my 350gt on standard? Nope, course not. But how many zeds out there have been run on standard and haven’t had issues They weren’t saying every car run on supermarket fuels will have issues but there’s a much higher chance due to the differences

The damage won’t be noticeable in a few tankfuls though, it’s years down the line. The same as running 95 ron won’t be noticeable in a zed until damage is seen in the future And don’t believe everything you see on watchdog. My cousin was interviewed by watchdog when he was working for a company who were featured on the show. He was manipulated into saying what they want us to see, not the truth. It’s an entertainment show just like anything else on tv

Have to agree. I thought they were genuine Nothing wrong with running reps, I am too. But go for a sticker that doesn’t have different branding or colour the calipers instead

Yep I don’t think the performance will vary much but after the mechanics who mentioned it to me, decades of experience between them, said it’s the long term effects of usage that is the issue If something is cheap it’s cheap for a reason

With these small amendments there’s a difference in performance in detailing products as your tests show. The same will go for petrol

I’ve heard from a few places now that supermarket fuels should be avoided. And that wasn’t just for performance cars He said the cheap additives are what make them more problematic

I’d say red

Welcome along from Glasgow. We have monthly meets across here at the quay and will be doing some of the shows as well. Got a stand booked by Zcotland in Bo’ness in June

Welcome along. Plenty of us have had skylines and s bodies on here. Had a 33 gtst after my zed, now I’m in a 350gt Any pics?

Nope, free forum and no minimum posts before selling

Sign up it’s free Rare branded stuff will have more chance of selling there, give it a go if eBay doesn’t work

You might have more luck trying to sell the old ones on driftworks

Much better. Rear spacers will improve it more

Sorry to hear about the skyline

Still waiting on a reply Adrian

I think the front looks a bit soft but the rest I can live with. Not a fan of these wheels I was driving behind a supra the other day and that had awesome road presence. That’s what’s lacking with this. I still think of it as a bigger gt86

I was with admiral for 9-10 years. Always the cheapest and yearly renewal didn’t always go up, always came down unless there was a claim. That was with 5 cars at one point on a multicar policy. They even honoured that over 2 addresses at one point. It was only after that period other companies were cheaper

Nice.... but.... I prefer your old ones and I don’t normally like dark wheels

Plastic from what I remember, will check tomorrow

I’m looking to get a full kit this year, most likely from the states Btw I’ve got a pair of eyebrows that I don’t need. Tiny crack on one of them but otherwise perfect. If you’re looking for some I’ll let them go cheap
