  1. Where's Neily?!!!! - what have you done with him!????? hahaha mexican air affecting me. Back in sunny scotland now . I'll rephrase... i spent a sh1t load and made basically sweet f=== all
  2. my bro's clk55 amg had a new gearbox at 40k miles and cost 4k or something for a reconditioned as the warranty was up
  3. karl, the decats will give you lots of rasp and rattle like you heard from my exhaust. Don't forget I did have the scorpion exhaust which is pretty raspy itself. You wont make anywhere near as much power as you expect. I made 305 with a plethora of stuff done. The stainless headers you have usually show a better gain but usually not cost effective due to time to fit. As they are already fitted then its a win situation for you. However, to see any power gains you will need a remap as the ecu will map back to factory settings after it realises stuff has been tampered with.
  4. Happy belated birthday mate. Just landed from Mexico so catching up on the forum before q nice shopping trip at the Trafford centre to keep the missus happy
  5. The bill for my install is costing probs about the same as a cheap/2nd hand supercharger to be honest, but, nitrous is much cooler
  6. have you always had ur boot striped or is that just for the install process? Its staying stripped out mate needs to lose weight. Hoping to have a carbon boot and gt spec carbon wing fitted.
  7. haha cheers guys. New engine build is for next winters project or whenever this one blows up on me
  8. Cheers Chris The weather is ridiculously warm and very humid. Had a couple of storms at night which were pretty cool. Hope your project is coming along ok also Cheers DoogyRev I cant wait to get her back I will keep this updated as it comes along
  9. Alright just a quick post up. Currently in mexico and got an email from someone saying my car is on Advanced motorsport and engineerings facebook page. Just thought i'd share the excitement i'm feeling. The car is going to be boosting 100hp of nos and getting fitted with a new ecu etc Here is a link to the pics Cheers PS enjoy the hoon everyone, really wish I was there
  10. Do you want new Nismo cone filters or aftermarket? Alex. Nismo please. Well that is not an "In stock and good to go" item. I would have to order them in for you mate and I doubt if any one in the UK will stock them so may have to come from the States. Why not stick a pair of K & N filters on. They would have to be ordered as well however I have a preowned set of Nismo cones here so I have the dimensions. Let me know if I can help you further. Regards, Alex. I thought the nismo filters were lifetime filters and just required cleaning and oiling. Is it defo the dual cai? Or is it filters for the oem airboxes?
  11. That is the exact same as mines with the foam in the same place The ones that usually fit dodgy are aftermarket and could be genuine but probably not a factory fit when the car was ordered.
  12. The genuine ones touch the boot and have a foam trim around edge of the tips. The spoiler you have was fitted by my painter and it was a replica which never had the foam around the tips.
  13. I still run standard rotors with uprated pads. If they last a couple of months at 40 quid a set I will be happy
  14. Welcome Shame about 300zx at really is a mark in time and a true classic zed! Hopefully your z33 experience is better as they're really fantastic cars
  15. Eibachs state 25mm drop but they are more like 30mm drop
  16. when you post the part number into google it brings up the 49mm size. That is what I am saying Neil. They should be 49mm but the guy has them listed at 44.5mm in one of his listings and 39.4mm in another. Good luck guys, I hope it all comes good for you, however you have nothing to lose providing you pay by Paypal. haha yep paid by paypal... lets just hope this fella was out on the raz last night and posted this stuff up while completely wrecked. Hopefully if it is the genuine part number and disc he has just made a mong of posting the info up and we all get extremely cheap discs
  17. i think that you should not be paying for any of the repairs as they damaged it. I would also air who it is due to the fact some that some other poor bugger could end with a result like this.
  18. when you post the part number into google it brings up the 49mm size. For 40 quid its worth a punt really
  19. Ah good stuff! Honestly the wheels make a huge difference that you wouldn't believe.
  20. I crashed my first saxo vtr and insurance renewal came in at 2000 quid. Bought a brand new c2 vts which is faster and more powerful and cost 3 times as much and insurance came in at 1300quid
  21. Cheers for that Neilp I have seen their adds in the mags many times and wondered if they did or would make one for the 350z, now I know someone else has one and uses it for motorsport I may give them a call next year if it will work out cheaper than geting my aunt to ship a vortec over as a prezy even if its shipped as a prezzie you will still get pumped on taxes and duty im sure. Get some lightweight rims and get rid of the standard heavy bad boys... the car will feel much faster and more responsive.
  22. Surprised at that, they cover my Akro, Hi Flo's and spacers, @ £90 extra! New docs that came through names the mods, strange that they said they wouldn't cover yours!?! A few years ago I was with Direct Line, they refused point blank to insure the Borla I had on my RX8 companys are now starting to realise that people that modifiy there cars take more care of them usually. I imagine if i had owned a corsa vxr and wanted to put a big exhaust on it they would probably ream my rectum but because of the Z status and usual ownership type (until recently) it is a pretty respectable car so dont bum that much more onto it.

    Rain

    i use the piaa stuff and the piaa wipers. The wipers coat the window in a silicone film which helps this. you need to be going over 40 mph usually for it to be effective
  24. TTS down at silverston, next door to AME build rotrex superchargers which is what the Aussie drifter uses on his zed
