Neilp

Happy Birthday Paulie ! I hope Athol has treated you to something nice!!

I have a factory fitted one and it looks different. The bill when ordering the car shows 700quid for this intake

Don't think there's much comparison tbh.. The Nismo and fujitsubo exhaust are very similar but you won't find a new one of those on eBay for the price of a pair of trainers. It's horses for courses, personally I prefer buying brand named stuff always have. Im the same with clothes, I just like it that way. Exhaust may be fine, if I needed to replace an exhaust because I was selling the car I would probably risk it.... Besides eBay brings me a lot of business, I get a good proportion of custom from people that buy cheap crap off eBay and find out it doesn't fit or breaks after a few months. (Buy cheap buy twice) is a very true slogan in my experience. Personally I would save up and get some thing you can be proud of but each to their own as they say. I killed my scorpion with heat Too much heat buckled the internal baffles or something, the exhaust stained. I sent it back and they opened it up, found it non repairable and sent a new one out. I then traded it for a buddyclub with a member on here Scorpion have been a pleasure to deal with and would always recommend their exhausts To be fair the ebay dudes will also do an exchange if their model breaks too..............you'll get 5 magnetic fuel savers and an electric supercharger instead.

lmao

For those of us that just drive their Zed from A to B with the odd spirited drive now and again I would have thought the test is ideal. What you are talking about Neil is trackday use which I can understand you being interested in but I couldn't give a monkeys about I thought most people on here were for Vred's because of the looks more than anything else Even for during the day driving, all these factors come into it from driving country roads etc. I understand what you mean, but roadnoise is a massive factor in these types of journeys.

The real thing is very expensive as I have found out.

The breakaway may be shocking though and the handling characteristics may be awful. The road noise may be terrible also.... None of this stuff was tested in this test which makes these sort of tests shite... Where is the pilot supersports, ps2's etc.... where are the bridgestone re50a's etc.... What car were they tested on, which weight was the car ??? All the above is what should really be tested. Generic testing is worth nothing!

I have goodyear eagle f1 gsd3's on my suzuki swift sport and they are outstanding tyres

i would like to see, not only dry/wet stop tests but also breakaway tests, heat tests etc so we know how hot you can get a tyre, how does is respond at these temps and when does the rubber start falling away and melting. There is too many variable that go untested. Dry/wet stopping times arent enough to decipher how good a tyre is.

you can get a scorpion in the 300 region that fits fine. Mines cost me around that and fitted perfect, exhaust had damage to the internals and they replaced it free of charge with no hassle whatsover. You pay for the customer service with companys also. Try and claim a toyo exhaust under warranty and see what happens....

But forum "experts" tell us Vredestein are far superior to cheap brands like Falken, Hankook, Nokian, Kumho... the ultra sessanta's arent on there, its not falken fk452's either, alot of those tyres arent the current types we use.

2006 onwards don't have the new bonnet bud. That's the 2007 313ps hr model. 2006 has facelift lights and interior.

Leo give them a call and they'll allow you to come down another day. I done the same on the last group buy. Everybody paid deposits on the phone and that was job done

Taking photos while driving you naughty women lol I've had my van 7-8months and put on over half of that ! Scary Can't wait to get my zed back and rack up some miles

It's the programme the site uses. It's to stop spammers postin up for sale threads all over the place without complying to the forum rules. The forum is unable to only make the original post go through the approval procedure with making every post on the same thread do the same, I'm led to believe. Personally I think the system works fine as I usually just pm the seller if want to chat about something

Did you buy it of someone on here mate? I would be asking the seller for them tbh. Hope you get it sorted

if i had 13k laying around i would snap this off you!! Cant believe its still for sale at that low a price GLWTS mate

fuses usually blow for a reason bud. Possibility of you damaging something by shorting the circuit out. Unsure what but chances are there is a wiring fault or a pcb which is shorting to ground. You may have done more damage than good by shorting it out tbh

Have you seen japspeed decats?? What your talking about is drilling new holes for the decats, not putting them onto the factory fitted sensor holes. I'm talking from experience on this. If you drill new holes then you can put then wherever you want.

I don't use nitrous anymore Neil, but it still needs to be removed from the car. There's a thread on the my350z and **REMOVED** forum you can look up under my name and you'll find it! cool cool mate, cheers

Wizard can you please post some photo's of your car up? Want to see your nos install Obv cant get to pod on saturday so would love to see it up here

i didnt want to remind you how old you were getting Happy Birthday Ian, Hope you had an awesome day
