    355mm Discs

    of course I will, I just wondered if anyone knew of any cheaper suppliers of discs that fit the AP Bells. I have just found a place that can do a pair for £265 a pair, but no harm in asking if anyone has heard of some elsewhere.

    355mm Discs

    Anyone know of anywhere or have any contacts to where I can get some 355mm x 32mm AP Racing Discs? Ideally a drilled design but a 6- 10 slot would be okay also.
  6. If that's the case the Nissan should have bunged them on the 350z from the factory...
  7. Poor legs. Not only do they have to lift the weight of those weights but also of herself .
  8. You obviously didn't have your puma super duper driving shoes on in you high performance race car. Still makes me chuckle to hear people wear them in a 350z. We all agree it's hardly a fast car. I was massively disappointed with the speed of them. I get people try race me all the time, not that it is my thing at all but I just know that most of them would beat me so I just pootle along and let them past.
  9. They don't look like Kinetix HFC's. The 'cat' part on the kinetix is on the downward part of the tube (nearer the manifold) where as these are on the vertical section (nearer the y pipe) I'd safely say these are resonated Decats.
  10. Just search, - Skipping CD Player - Clicky Axle - Banana Arm/Bushing - Window Motor They tend to me the most common things discussed on here, and we all get a few of these issues through our ownership.
  11. The centre bore is indeed an issue. The 350z has a a PCD of 5x114.3 and a centre bore of 67.1mm so any car with that centre bore or smaller, these wheels will fit. A range rover has a centre bore of 72.6 (forget that the PCD is wrong in this example) that means the 72.6 bore will not slot inside the 67.1 bore of the wheel. This means the wheels will not pull to the hub rendering it useless. However. There are other cars you can retro fit these wheels too. These wheels are 5x114.3, pretty much all new age VAG cars are 5x112 with a centre bore of 57.1, so with some67.1 - 57.1 spigot rings and a set of variation bolts. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M14X1-5-VARIATION-WOBBLE-WOBBLY-BOLTS-VW-VAUXHALL-VIVARO-RENAULT-TRAFFIC-BMW-X5-/130580604887?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyres_Trim_Nuts_ET&hash=item1e6735e7d7#ht_2514wt_1273 Then they can fit anything like a Mark 5 onwards Golf, Scirocco, A3, Passat, Transporter. You then have the Mitsubishi Evo 4 upwards that is a direct bolt on, even the centrebore is good. 3000gt, Starion, Galant etc. Oh and most Lexus's are 5x114.3. With all that said, the only other issue (down to buyer) is to check the offsets are reasonable for their vehicle. That means making sure they don't stick too far out the arch, or to in the arch which means spacers will be required.
  12. I have been seeing them doing testing here at work for a while now. I really like them, but as mentioned above, they do seem on paper to be quite slow for what you expect it to be.
  13. What's that mean, they have lots of spaces inside them?
  14. All of a sudden I feel like a skeleton with a belly...
  15. Did i just read right? Ramps for your car made out of FOAM..
  16. it is was me, i would skip the SRP, it has loads of fillers in, that's all. in which case you may as well not use your LP. The lime prime preps the paint ready for a wax, so if you pile on SRP it defeats the object of a pre wax cleanser in my opinion. After I machine polish a car (hence I asked what you meant by polish) i'd either use a pre wax cleanser or alcohol wipes to get rid of any silicons or other chemicals.
  17. yes you will be fine. It has some very mild abrasives in compared to the lite stuff. I have to ask though, what do you class as a polish?
  18. I always wondered what the bloody noise was, will try pressing the clutch in next time.
  19. they are great, they fit underneath even my 350z and that's saying something.
  20. If you want to meet up before hand or something, let me know. You're in Hertfordshire it says? You're not too far from me then.
  21. Also, I'm pretty sure the the Orange Subaru with the £50 note on the rear bumper was actually a member on here. He spent a rumored £100,000 building it then sold it to build the red Chargespeed kitted 350z http://www.jt-culture.com/new-readers-cars-craigs-z33-350z/ Also I remember talking to Tony the owner of the blue 207cc and his words were he will never sell it, after all it has his face painted on the boot. Oh how times change.
  22. Why the hell do I seem to think the Mattig Astra is cool. Everything about it should tell me no. Like the crazy wide rear wheels on a front wheel drive car, Its Ford wannabe whaletail. But its kinda retro cool haha. Do I need to visit the quacks?
  23. A convoy or little zed meet would be cool. I'm reasonably close to the show being in Bedfordshire. I know there are lots of guys around this way. I don't know what direction you are coming from as my head is no clued up on uk geography lol Is it worth putting a meeting thread up?
