I recently purchased a Nismo front splitter from a member on here via ebay. Won it for £72 which i was pleased with. anyway, heres how it looked when it arrived: All in pretty good condition, though in need of a respray even if my car was sunset lol! So then i had a think and decided to get it painted satin black and dropped it into the body shop.......... then i changed my mind! I was looking at the pictures of my car next to the GTR and thought that the grey colour they use for the splitter etc on the GTR would be pretty good too - went down to the bodyshop to see if i was too late to change my mind and luckily it as in primer :phew: Changed the colour to K11 Smoke - the same colour used on the GTR and heres how it looks now: A few shots of it rested on the car (just to give an idea!) Im pretty pleased to be honest just gotta get it fitted now - which i'm dreading doing to be honest. Normally up for having a go myself but drilling into the front of the bumper is a little nerve racking! so what do you think? Jak

I have recently purchased a used genuine nismo front underspoiler kit - it has everything bar the paper drill template. has anyone got one i could use/buy? Jak

i have not tried, so this may be total garbage but.... what sort of cloth are you using? have you tried using a more textured cloth so that it gets between the small dimples on the surface? As i said that may be a rubbish piece of advice but it does makes sense in my head! Jak

Sorry slightly but me and my bro were looking into going halfs on an xbox soon and was wondering where would be the best place to get one - ideally need two controllers dont need an elite, and as we would only use the storage for game data (neither of us are massive gamers so no online stuff really and wouldnt really have that many games just forza and a few others) would probably be able to get away with the entry level one..... Jak

Thanks Choptop - Sound advice - i may actually know someone who speaks japanese of the Swift Gti Forum - i took a semesters worth of lessons in my second year at Uni (2008) but wouldnt stand a chance of arranging it myself i dont think, i may be able to get my tutor to help though.... P.S. Whoop Whoop 100th post! Jak

anyone else think the GReddy lip would look nice in black with the Carbon Bonnet? Jak

Thanks for the help guys, hiring a GTR sounds immense - may have some convincing to do though as far as the GF goes!! Yeah we are heading for Tokyo but want to see outside the city too so Nikko sounds good! also found a tour that takes us to see snow monkeys - just wondering wheter it makes sense to pay for the tour (£800 for 4-5 days only 1 of which involves the monkeys) or do it ourselves - i.e. daytrip out on the bullet train! will have a chat with my gf and try and get a list together of what type of things each of us particulaly want to do! Again i'd be well interested to see some the downhill drift runs but the missuse is less car orientated, so we will just have to see on that front! Jak

anyone on here? I parked opposite you, i was in a GM GT Jak

Happy Birthday!

The bubblegum was a bonus indeed - no testers though unfortunatly, maybe next time ey! Jak

i havnt heard anything bad about BC, and they do seem much more affordable than Tein etc.... Jak

It has crossed my mind, and i still may do it, but unfortunatly, like others have said, you ultimatly dont really get listened too. Still winds me up a treat though!! Jak

hadnt even thought about what it must be like for bikes to drive on it - Well dodgey!!!

lol i know!!

Thank god i'm not the only one - was worried i might sound like a wally!! What i dont understand is why they dont roll it in properly afterwards?? i realise they are saving money not hiring the roller and just letting the traffic do it, but i bet it causes more accidents etc so the money they save there just ends up in the NHS having to deal with the aftermath of it all...... an lets face it the traffic dosn't roll it in properly either. What really bugged me was the fact i deliberatly took an alternative route to the gf's last night because of this but low and behold they had done it on the alternate route too!!

Councils "resurface" a road by seemingly just chucking a load of loose stones all over it!!!! I mean really what is the point??? Sure it might take less time but i bet you they have to do it at least twice as often as they would have to if they just did a proper job?? I have already got at least one chip from driving through one last night en route to my gf's, may have to abstain for a while lol!! I wonder how well they will look on an invoice for resulting repairs? Sorry for the rant - it just "grinds my gears"

sure did

Hi Gaz, Thanks for the reply! Am hopefully going for around 2 Weeks, which i know dosnt sound a long time but its coming down to cost and assuming that we can always go again for longer in the future if we like it (also planning a month in NZ soon so looking after the monies lol ) Jak

Ordered a pot of DoDo Juice Purple Haze yesterday afternoon from i4Detailing and it arrived at the door this morning on normal delivery with a complementry piece of bubblegum (unchewed i should probably add!!!) Anyway - great service and will be reccomending them to friends and would not hesitate to use them again myself either. Looking forward to trying out the wax on the Z at the weekend too Jak

i was thinking do-luck too Jak

As in title really, me and my gf are planning on heading out to Japan for a few weeks around April time next year, was just wondering if any of you had been out there and could recomend places to stay/ sights to see etc etc... Not got a massive budget so no posher than posh hotels unfortunatly! but we would rather have our own room as opposed to a dorm type thingy. Any hints, tips or reccomendations would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance Jak

I dont really dont think i can afford to spend £60+ on wax so the Supernatural is out of the question - though i do not doubt its capabilities as i have heard its pretty much the dogs danglies. So the choice has been narrowed down to Purple Haze or Rain Forest Rub - Which do you think would give the best results? Jak

this sounds good, what do ya think? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DoDo-Juice-Rainfo ... .m14.l1262 I was gonna go for the Purple haze but noticed it said for purples, blues and Black cars on the add, would the GM be a little light for this? though i wish the paint was a little darker if i'm honest! What sort of results do you get ian?

meh, got some swafega (spelling?) orange scrubby stuff to sort the mess out anyway
