I have had them a year with stretched tyres, and even after hitting a few tough old bumps and pot holes they are perfectly straight, (not just saying that, checked them 2 weeks ago on the balancer at work) Some will say go buy the 'real thing' but TE37's are insane money. and fitment wise I don't think look as nice.

Does anyone know what seals are in between the 2 halves of a rear brembo caliper and where I can get them from? Thanks

Agreed, there are cases where seatbelts can be the contributing factor to a death during a crash, but the lives they save far outweigh the lives they take. Wear a seatbelt and don't drive like a tool and all will be good.

will try fit them today

would a belt have saved him? Is that even a question worth asking knowing the facts of this story. The driver: Did not wear a seatbelt and died instantly The passenger: Did wear a seatbelt and didn't even need to go to hospital. I think that is enough proof that seat belts do indeed save lives. Also shows how safe these carbon cars can be if you use the safety devices they provide. The front end is mullered but the cabin looks okay.

sounds sad but do you think you could ask him where they are filming and when?

Finally ready to fit them, new longer caliper bolts have been bought. Calipers finished and discs built.

From the stuff I have read, (as I want to see it being filmed). They are shooting lots of car stuff in Scotland but no lead actors will be there, the lead actors are in fact currently in London filming. Dwayne Johnson's facebook/twitter says he is in London filming it. But I cant find out any info on where and when

a) It was done in the states perhaps you would prefer pure science research ceased, taking away the modern world at a stroke? United States are in a much worse state than us last time I checked. I don't think science research should stop, not for curing diseases and the like. But novelties such as how many frames a second can we shoot in isn't what we need to be doing right now. How is this going to benefit anyone? Don't get me wrong, its very impressive work, that impressive that I watched the whole 11 minutes of it. But it seems to be money could be used better else where just for the time being.

Wonder how many millions went into developing that. And there was me thinking we were in a recession

Cheers CJ, it's nice to hear positive feedback. The rear is a Chargespeed, with Carbon Diffuser and Nismo side skirts. The front has a Nismo V2. It's a blend I liked and felt suited the car. The boot is also carbon but painted Azure. No spoiler as I didn't want to drill into the carbon making it harder to sell in the future. Could you not just tiger seal the spoiler on? Tiger seal is fecking touch stuff and should hold an oem spoiler in place no problem I would have thought.

I'd be interested to see what the repair looks like?

If this is reverse mounted, all they need are plastic caps for the feet of the machine that clamps the wheel. I use the plastic feet and cloths on top. What gets me is how the hell did they butcher the spoke as well? Good man Tarmac for offering to help out.

£650 for GTR Brakes. Actually saying that, if you just go for AP rotors rather than oem brembo then that can say you a fortune.

I am a tyre fitter who has dealt with everything from stretched tyres, to rubber bands that not many could fit (265/25/22 for example), reverse mounted £20,000 wheels and so on, I still cannot for the life of me work out why they would need to "pin prick" your wheel. They obviously have a very low spec machine that is not capable of doing low profile tyres. To do that mess and expect to hand it back as though everything is okay is just ridiculous!

For sale are 2 sets of black steel wheel bolts. Both sets are brand new and never used. First is a set of 16 flat top type wheel bolts (12x1.25) £15 posted Next set is a set of 20 acorn type wheel bolts (12x1.25) £16 posted Last up, one genuine oz racing centre cap £12 posted

Just cant help but think the DBA's are expensive, what makes them that much better?

Tyres are about all i'd use myself. If they are the right size (doubtful) and with lots of tread then that would be worth it. The 350z deserve better wheels than this imo.

She uses a sponge...

My driver side window motor has decided to pack up. Usual smack the door card to make it work etc, sounds pretty sick when its winding the window up near the top. Does anyone have a motor for sale? £200 odd quid is a little much for me right now as work has sod all overtime right now.

Your number plate is to one side.

I really hope you used extended studs and a basic 10mm non bolt on spacer.

You bought a 10mm hubcentric bolt on spacer? I surely hope not. That will be very very weak. Also what's going on with the dodgy looking rolled rear arch?

Varrstoens. ET22 require a spacer, ET12 and ET0 don't I believe. I have ET22 with a 20mm spacer

brought is the correct term. He didn't buy the car, he took it to the garage.
