  1. Neil Lol I kept getting phone calls saying when are you coming back to the forum.. its getting boring and theres no drama! So here I am
  2. I took the bumper of to find it was just because the washer bottle wasnt full up mate.. double check its full
  3. Paul from up here had is zed at 17 and then an R35 at 21ish
  4. Opie oils is pretty cheap for this stuff usually. Mobil 1 is rubbish and not a great oil. It has declined in reviews over the past while. I used it once and took it out after a month. Go for motul or Fuchs Titan tax pro
  5. This man speaketh the truth. Myself and my best mate Mark often do trackdays together, and it'll be a mix of Impreza, 911, MX5 and Caterham. No matter what he's driving, if I passenger with him then I can only do a few laps before I have to get out, else I'll barf all over his interior. By his own admission he's far from a smooth driver, quick but very abrupt with his inputs, and it makes for a horrible ride. Not just me that has that issue, other friends of ours who have been out with both of us (often in the same vehicle) make the same comment. I'm much smoother so they'll happily pax with me, and Mark's binary input driving means they tend not to stay out with him for very long. I would imagine that it's your own inputs that are causing the car to move around far too much and upsetting your brain, and making you feel sick. There's no easy cure apart from practice, but that along with the medicine should help. I wouldn't bother doing any upgrades to 'cure' this just yet, until you'll done at least one more TD (airfield if you want, as it's cheaper) and taken some tuition. Definitely get a CG Lock though, I use one in all my vehicles as they're brilliant and for £35, you can't go wrong. Exactly this!! ^^^^ You will also save on brakes and fuel etc with better driving style. Look at Greekman, a set of discs and pads last him a day or two, I can get 5 tracks sessions on mine. Don't get me wrong he drives pretty fast but he has very minor sympathy towards the vehicle and passengers lol
  6. A mini to a Ferrari! ! that would have been something you would never have heard again lol They are paying you too much Neil ! Lol the mini was more expensive than the 350z! Jcw stuff has a massive premium, especially the wheels brakes seats and body kit let alone the tuning pack which got ripped out and altered after a few months lol. The Ferrari was in reach at about 40k for an older model. Couldn't afford a new one though. Wasn't thinking about repair costs at the time either. Thought I'd be cool as **** at 21 driving a Ferrari lol
  7. I was 21 when i bought the zed, a crash 1 month before @ 8k cost. My insurance was only 1300 quid with zero no claims bonus. The crash was in a mini cooper s jcw, mods declared runnin 230bhp. I was only 18 when I bought the car and was only 1200 to insure. The crash was the only thing that made me buy a zed as I was originally buying a ferrari 360 and insurance was 1800 until I crashed which made the premium go up by a grand which I wasnt prepared to pay. So i bought the missus a new suzuki swift sport and bought myself a zed and insured both for around 1800 quid and now its well below the grand mark for both at the age of 25.
  8. I will defo be eating mate Its fine my tent is real easy to pitch. Can do it myself in about 10 mins lol Its a coleman tent so pretty simple and nothing too large.
  9. Ill be arriving around 8pm so be ready to give me a hand pitching camp as the missus will not be a great hand (indoor girl) lol

    Driftland

    shame that monster of a 700hp zed isn't running again tho
  11. Is your car supercharged or turbo'd?
  12. Neilp

    Driftland

    Shame they haven't sorted the run offs for us beginners though. Bit of an expensive mistake if it goes wrong
  13. It will be ok but I'd recommend while its jacked up to just do the rears anyways as it will take u 20 mins longer a side
  14. No they spray into the intake I'm sure mate. Similar to nitrous
  15. Haha is that so!? Just coz u'll have a charger doesn't mean you'll be a better driver Don't forget I have nos haha. I wasn't even going to use the zed, was just going to take the saxo lol ill bring my swift sport then hahaha
  16. Haha is that so!? Just coz u'll have a charger doesn't mean you'll be a better driver Don't forget I have nos
  17. Sounds like a great place to go mate, this is what scotland needs! All the 200sx boys go to crail which is pretty bad tbh. Well if you are ever up here give me a shout and id love to come watch you and maybe get some pointers from you
  18. Lol i agree but think if you can come up with a bluebooth or wireless version of that you will be a very rich man Are you talking about drift land? It looks like an awesome track that's been set up by a friend of mine. It'll be a perfect place for you to learn to drift No I'm an engineer for Cummins Diesel Engines so I get my hands dirty but work as more of a consultant helping the OEM's fit our engines into their machines Nice! Yes mate drift land it is! Hope your getting us 350z boys some discounts then lol! Prices look very reasonable at the moment! Hope it doesn't go the same way as Knockhill though!
  19. if one has failed may I suggest changing both anyways as it won't be far behind the other. Worth doing while on the ramps tbh
  20. Looking into something like a one place stop over. Where you can get everything done to a car in one place by the people that work there. For example. Engine out, interior refurbished, vinal wrap, add Brooklands Kent and you have race tune guys and Vortex Systems for all your fabrications. Its very doable. The fact that we have a team in place that all get on and can work with each other and independantly is a good starting place. Anyway its only in the planning stages at the moment:) Absolute awesome idea!!
  21. Lookin to start drifting myself at the local track that's opening in fife. Knockhill too dangerous for a newbie like me.. Been sideways a few times on it now and had complete squeaky bum moments lol! Can't wait to see this unfold! Will be an absolute monster! Are you a mechanic by trade?
  22. Hi guys I have for sale a used netgear wireless router. I'm looking for £35 including postage for it. Thanks
