I own a 350z and a 98 corsa lol I have had a couple of comments since i had my car (all of a couple of weeks) but nothing compaired to the amount i used to get with my old escort i had. When i used to take it out for a drive id get people looking on every road, be it because of the noise or the bloody annoying flames out the back (lol) Id get people every time come up and comment take pictures etc, sort of got use to just going cheers, thanks, she alright. At a show was good, as alot are really intrested to know what you have done etc, gives them ideas for there own car (with mine being an escort alot of young guys have them and got inspiration from my car) some even bought an escort after seeing mine Its abit awkward i guess when someone comments but hey, its a compliment, be chuffed that someone likes it

something around that price, but its a bloddy good piece of kit for its money, you'd be easily looking at 3+ times that for the blue point one, and double that for any other old one. If you want one to keep for your garage say, its definately worth investing in,

costco is a good bet, they currently have a very low reach steel heavy duty trolley jack for like £60-£70. its basically a copy of the blue point low reach but in red. Bit annoyed as i bought an alloy one from there and a week later they bought out this one which was more heavy duty and lower reaching

the biggest restriction for noise is your mahooosive stock rear silencer. Removing the middle silencer will help but not a great deal as that big silencer will still shut it up fairly well. Plus £90 to cut out and weld a pipe of mild steel pipe in is actually in my book a tad expensive, i can get the same thing done with stainless for £60

the ones you looked at are not proper locking wheel nuts, but they sort of act as a locker. only real locking nuts i know of in Small diameter fitment are Mcguard tuner nut lockers. but there silver. if you have to have SD nuts, best bet is what your link is.

I dont think you'd lose any money, end of the day its been Nissan serviced for a few years, as long as its all up to date. Had a P2 done to mine today at Japex, I thought should i go Nissan but i hear there not that great anyway. And Japex is well known with 350z's on here. Seems like they did a good job. When it comes to servicing i begrudge spending all this money. As i can do everything they do, but all because of a stamp in a book i have to pay extra Half the cost of a service is the inspection, of which i knew everything that was possibly needed on my car. Which made that pointless too. Oh well. Just get it done at the garage, as long as there a good reputable garage i think you should be fine.

f**king hate pr**ks that feel the need to key a nice car, just because they dont have one! Useless lazy waste of space w**kers

answered your own question? there steel so they will be strong and wont crack like lightweight ones always do.

how many pound notes did that cost if you dont mind me asking. Im abit of a traditionalist with bodywork, i think id rather get a car painted and pay the extra, but only because they paint the door shuts etc. Where as the idea of wrapping is great and fantastic being reversable is its big USP. But the though of opening the door and seeing a totally different colour, now that would bug the life out of me, only really works when a black car is wrapped white, black door shuts dont look so bad then.

get it too a bodyshop and sorted before it becomes serious. once rust starts its wont stop unless you cut out or in mild cases ( just started) cleaned and sanded off completely. Trust me im an expert with rust, my last car was a Ford...

cam skills have a offer on vredestein at the moment

i guess so, in that case, i do my own fitting for free

to be honest, trade isnt that much cheaper, there just isnt much profit in tyres as there are so many people out there knocking eachothers prices down. Id like to get trade at a massive company, they must get tyres pretty cheap with there buying power.

someones got a little crush on you i think. lol Anna and Vale sitting in a tree...... lol

try camskills, they always seem to be the cheapest, i get mine from my second job, as i get trade

i had this myself also on the second time off filling up my 350z press - check press - check repeated this like 10 times, i looked like a right muppet, it eventually opened. and since then not been an issue, but i may have to do what was said above and just clean and grease it up.

like i said, mine was mint underneath, not a scratch about. how are yours all scratched and where?

i took mine off yesterday, had a couple of sticky pad under it? So cleaned that up, and the paintwork is pretty good under it, if it wasnt id just machine polish it. Just not convinced on a big UK plate bend around the bumper?

bloody half arsed fitters. you will never have the same finish as oem, and it never seems to last as long, also if its powder coated they never have the shine oem has. If they were pretty mint to start with id say you down there, but if they were tatty, get in they can do mine too if they want, mine are in desperate need of a refurb

Im in 2 minds whether to take mine off, not sure which looks better, with or without? Anyone got any pictures of your own zeds front number plate, holder of not? What do you reckons better: Plate holder No plate holder and standard size plate No plate holder and 3/4 sized plate

why'd you get rid of the birdsview? it might be stuck simple with a sticky pad, mine has never been stuck down and still has the orginal sticky pad on

if they have wax on them then you need to leave them in soak with something like washing up liquid, thats because washing up liquid can eat through the waxes unlike anything else,

welcome. gorgeous looking car, lovely in red. please please please get it machine polished, the swirls in those top pics ruin them for me

there is a third type of spacer some cars use. These are spacers that fit behind the hubs. (not 100% sure how these work) but i do know its to reduce the extra stresses on bearings. Cars such as the racing ford puma's have them as standard. That means that adding spacers onto the front of the hub does and can add extra stress to bearings, most the time not enough to worry about. just imagine some of these show cars with 6" spacers to fit the wheels in monster arches. just imagine how short a wheel bearings life would be on that!

your tyres look very undersized. what you running on them?
