  1. Well 18 months, 500 miles and a £700 stainless and TIG welded exhaust. You think all would be well. Its not I had my MOT the other day and when I was poking around the car I noticed the bloody middle pipe bracket was cleanly snapped off, looking at the bracket of the car, there was lots of lovely looking welding but not much that was touching the exhaust pipe work by the looks of it. Very tempted to write a letter and complain, but don't know who too? The people I bought it from or Buddyclub themselves. Then if Buddyclub, do I go to Buddyclub UK or Buddyclub in general? My car may be very low but I have not once caught the exhaust so I don't feel this should have happened lol Now I have to find a company that can weld it back on, but the biggest hassle is finding somewhere I can actually get on their ramp. lol
  2. Who on earth said because it has 6 studs that it doesn't need a centre bore for centralising. Trust me, it's not the wheel balancing. It's the fact the wheels not central. I see this all the time at my wheel place. Wheel bolt and nuts are to hold the wheel on, that's all. If a wheel is less than 1mm out on the bore you will feel it. Try taking the spacers off and have the wheel on the centre hub on the wheels.
  3. Thinking of a new colour for my wheels, but having a grey car with gold brakes means there are not very many colours that work with both colours at once, except black (which what I have now) and white. So whilst I have the tyres off soon to fit slightly smaller ones, I was thinking of getting them done white. Does anyone have a picture of white wheels on a GM or can anyone photoshop the picture below to white wheels?
  4. Welcome, you live near me. (well Bedfordshire) I live in Flitwick and also have a GM 350z (granted mines and old one though )
  5. What are the bungs all about? Is there only 1 O2 sensor on each pipe?
  6. Regardless of the MOT issues, what should you look out for when buying de cats? What's this issue with sensor spacers all about? I want de cats for mine, but want ones that fit on properly and have all the right holes etc. I don't want big spacers that make the sensors sit close to the ground as my car is bloody close as it is lol Do silenced de cats give much more sound?
  7. I wont write much as its all being said above, I went for Sema 2010 and loved it! Hoping to go back for Sema 2012. I stayed at the Excalibur, cheap, cheerful and the room was actually pretty good, it was at one end of the strip, next to the MGM grand, close to the monorail (station is in the MGM) Night life is good, all depends how much £££ you have to spend, either meals and shows or party hard in the clubs. Top of the World restaurant in at the top of the Stratosphere is expensive but worth a visit. I get excited just thinking about going back haha
  8. Crikey, I wish mine wore that evenly! lol
  9. what spacer brand do you have, you can indeed buy the studs. Just ring up any reputable wheel shop
  10. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SNAP-18-VOLT-1-2-DRIVE-IMPACT-WRENCH-CTU6850-/300598182762?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item45fd0c436a#ht_500wt_1287 the best tool ever! gets me out of trouble with pesky bolts, suspension and all sorts. Every guy should have - snap on impact gun - hammer - big bar - mole grips
  11. I may pop round, I work literally 30 seconds round the corner from there in the next industrial estate over
  12. You just know who is going to win though
  13. So do I im skint because of it lol. Luckily I got a bit of discount on the wheels. Still cost a hell of a lot of money by my standards I'll try grab a few new pictures showing the -3 offset soon, also smoothed out the aerial since those pictures.
  14. can you tell me a bit more about your setup? Wheels? Suspension? Any arch work? Fronts Varrstoen ES2.2.2 19x9.5 Falken 452 - 225/35/19 ET22 20mm Spacer so ET2 BC Coilovers Wound down 80% id say No arch work Rears Varrstoen ES2.2.2 19x10.5 Falken 452 - 245/35/19 ET22 25mm Spacer so ET-3 BC Racing Coilovers wound down to the maximum with adjuster screws removed. Rear arches have been rolled
  15. bloody hate that place. I have had to go there twice. And again in about 8 years...
  16. Looking for a shed. Just crashed the 1.2 R reg corsa, silly silly women driver pulling across moving traffic, clever.... so need a new run around. What its needs to tick is: Cheap (not a penny over £1500) the cheaper the better though. Good on fuel, diesel or petrol (i do mainly motorway miles so a 1.0 petrol would be useless) Half nice to look at I guess (okay maybe a quarter decent to look at) Ideally 3 doors And just a cheap to maintain car. Easy to work on, And no 350,000 mile examples of a fancy car just to fit into the £1500 limit lol What sort of car would you suggest? I am actually rather stumped : / Thanks guys
  17. am I a mystery 350z member lol. Yes that was me in the slippers, I didnt want to scuff up the brand new trainers lol
  18. whats a good price to have a dent repaired and a bonnet sprayed?
  19. Big ass stone + M1 = big dent and scratched through to the metal, ideall wanted a new bonnet rather than getting my painted. Does any one have one for sale. Maybe you got a carbon bonnet and have your old one taking up space? Thanks
  20. I bought 2 when i did mine, so i do have one spare, either buy 1 off ebay of if needed you can buy the spare one
  21. 30k i wish! try doubt that plus 5k! Had to use mine all week for the long commutes to work as the MOT ran out on my shed and I cant tax it until its MOT'd. so thats another 450 on it in a week... costs a fortune compared to the shed lol
  22. My drivers side B pillar keeps popping out the top clip. Is this a common thing? All I can think of its a worn clip? If so where can I get these from, I'm guessing Nissan Parts desk will be the obvious answer, so on the off chance does anyone know the part number? Thanks
  23. So this is a second hand kit (regardless of how little miles its done its still been fitted and used) selling for basically new money plus shipping on top?
  24. rear arches look to have the inner lip cut off, and they have been pulled out
