Nobody mentions here about the money WASTED on wars in Afghanistan, Irak, Syria etc: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics?departments%5B%5D=ministry-of-defence Why not use the billions of GBP on domestic issues, rather than on interfering with other countries internal affairs, trying to make them democratic and failing miserably, while we have our military personnel coming back in metal coffins Britain's economy is great in comparison with other countries in Europe or anywhere else in the world, but we still have a lot of internal issues, way more costly than "immigration" the way it is seen today. How about the billions of GBP spent on the NHS IT system that failed? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-24130684

My 9yo daughter yesterday, after watching with me the debates and videos about BREXIT, EU, single market, regulations, financial impact, immigration etc: "So daddy, Britain being in EU is better, it's like you trying to sell your GTR only to the neighbours in our post code here, rather than actually finding a buyer in the whole of the UK, isn't it?"

The good old National Institute of Economic and Social Research eh? "Funding is recieved through commissioned research projects from a variety of sources: <snip>, the European Commision, <snip> Nah I'll pass. Nice try tho. Did you even watch the video before throwing a stone at me? It's inoffensive, just explains basic stuff about the single market

How about you read about the Black Wednesday, eh? (not being patronising, promise!) Meanwhile, these bloody experts and researchers, what do they know, propaganda! "Scientists in the UK received €8.8bn (£6.8bn) in research funding from the EU from 2007-2013, according to the Royal Society - more than the €5.4bn (£4.1bn) we contributed over the same period. If the country votes to leave the EU no research grants will be revoked, so there will be no immediate cut in funding. However, scientists will be left in the dark about whether they should be applying for new funds from the European Research Council, which could pause research. Longer term, that €3.4bn (£2.6bn) gap in scientific funding would have to be met by the UK government to maintain investment in research and development." http://news.sky.com/story/1714989/why-the-god-particle-would-survive-brexit

More "propaganda" "Mr Soros made a fortune betting against the pound on Black Wednesday in 1992, when Britain left the ERM, and said Brexit would cause even bigger disruption. Mr Soros said in his article that leaving the EU would see sterling fall by at least 15%, and possibly more than 20%, to below $1.15 from its current level of around $1.46. "The value of the pound would decline precipitously," he writes. "It would also have an immediate and dramatic impact on financial markets, investment, prices and jobs. "I would expect this devaluation to be bigger and also more disruptive than the 15% devaluation that occurred in September 1992, when I was fortunate enough to make a substantial profit for my hedge fund." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36582026

National leaders and media across Europe mobilised on Monday to persuade British voters to remain in the EU, with Hungary’s prime minister Viktor Orban buying a full-page ad in Monday’s Daily Mail urging Britons to choose “Remainâ€. The advertisement tells voters the decision is theirs, adding: “But I would like you to know that Hungary is proud to stand with you as a member of the European Union.†The image includes Mr Orban’s signature in black. He joins a growing chorus of EU leaders who have begged Britons to stay, deploying a combination of dire warnings about the economic consequences of Brexit and emotional appeals to pro-European sentiment and solidarity. France’s largest companies took out ads across the UK press on Tuesday, urging Britain to vote to remain, saying their future hiring and investment in the UK depends on the country being “firmly and lastingly anchored in the single marketâ€. The advert is signed by companies such as Airbus, BNP Paribas, Engie, Ingenico and Safran, according to one person with knowledge of the plan. It starts: “S’il vous plaît amis britanniques, remain!†and is signed off “Vos amis françaisâ€. That tone was exemplified by a speech on Monday by Donald Tusk, the European Council president, directed at Britons voting in Thursday’s referendum. “Stay with us. We need you,†he said. “Without you, not only Europe, but the whole western community will become weaker.†European media have also stepped up their interventions. Earlier this month, Der Spiegel, the German news magazine, published a special bilingual edition with the words “Please Don’t Go†set against a Union Jack. Meanwhile, channelling Abba, Sweden’s biggest financial daily urged Brits “to take a chance on EUâ€. Inside, Dagens Industri carried an interview with Fredrik Reinfeldt, the former Swedish prime minister, in which the friend of David Cameron said the UK “should take the responsibility to lead Europe, not leave itâ€. Yet Mr Orban’s gambit was probably the most eye-catching. He is the first EU leader to spend public funds on paid political advertisements in the UK media urging a vote for Remain. Hungarian government spokesman Zoltan Kovács said Mr Orban and British prime minister David Cameron were on “good, personal termsâ€: but he would not be drawn on whether the message had been cleared with Downing Street in advance. Until recently, most of Mr Cameron’s fellow EU leaders have refrained from getting involved in Britain’s EU referendum, fearing a possible backlash against perceived foreign interference. But last week’s apparent swing in public opinion towards “Leave†encouraged them to become more outspoken. US President Barack Obama and German chancellor Angela Merkel have already made high-profile public statements backing Remain while on May 30 Enda Kenny, the Irish prime minister, campaigned in London with pro-Remain groups targeting Britain’s sizeable Irish population. Irish officials emphasised however that he was doing so in a personal capacity. In Spain, too, which itself faces a general election just three days after the Brexit vote, the political class — from the ruling Popular party to the far-left Unidos Podemos bloc — is united in its support for Remain. On the right, political leaders have warned above all of the economic fallout both for the UK and the rest of Europe. On the left, Unidos Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias told Spanish television on Sunday night that his group was calling on British voters to vote Remain — and that it had dispatched a senior party official to Manchester this month to speak at a campaign event. Mr Orban’s intervention has raised eyebrows given its apparent contrast with his searing Eurosceptic public rhetoric at home. His government has launched a separate mass media campaign in Hungary slamming the EU’s migration policy while he has framed Europe’s refugee influx as an “invasion†of Christian Europe “planned†by a coalition including “Europe’s top leadersâ€. The message drew a negative response from Douglas Carswell, Ukip MP for Clacton, who retweeted an image of the advertisement, suggesting it had been paid for by Mr Orban’s political opponents, the far-right Jobbik party. “Quite something that the extremist Jobbik party in Hungary wants us to Remain. You want political union [with] them?†the MP tweeted. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/64f48160-36d3-11e6-9a05-82a9b15a8ee7.html

With an extensive history in developing exhaust systems for race applications in conjunction with feedback from Japan's top race teams, Tanabe exhaust systems achieve a perfect combination of a lightweight free-flowing straight-through design for maximum performance and durability for your 2009, 2010, 2011 or 2012 Nissan 370Z. Constructed entirely of SUS304 stainless steel with the exception of the Ultra Medalion titanium cat-back exhaust system, Tanabe exhaust systems weigh significantly less than factory installed stock exhaust systems by up to ~ 40%. SUS304 stainless steel construction results in the utilization of less material mass over mild steel, producing an exhaust that is lighter, stronger, and resistant to the elements. Each exhaust system is engineered from the catalytic converter to the rear of the vehicle without modification to any emissions equipment. A refined level of performance and driveability is available in the MEDALION TOURING. The elegant, well defined appearance of MEDALION TOURING is mature, and matches the artistry of a tastefully built, highly tuned machine. Using the all new 'continuous strand' ADVANTEX packing material technology, MEDALION TOURING acheives extremely high levels of exhaust system efficiency, while maintaining a street driveable, extremely low frequency and deep tone that is well under 93db for discreet sports driving. This system requires no removeable silencer for under 93db operation at all rpms. The extremely deep, low frequency tone keeps in-cabin noise to a minimum. The full SUS304 stainless MEDALION TOURING features a slim-line oval canister, and a special dual wall, angle-cut tip. This premium quality system is for sports driving. MEDALION TOURING's slim canister is pleasing to the eye, and is designed to allow for high ground clearance, for lowered vehicles. Tanabe was one of the first Japanese aftermarket companies to create full SUS304 stainless steel exhaust systems many years ago. The highest grade SUS304 stainless is used on all systems for maximum durability, as well as reduction in weight. Minimizing bends is a goal of each custom-built Tanabe exhaust system. The truest form is realized to minimize restrictions and maximize useable power gains. Where necessary, the piping is mandrel bent for improved exhaust flow characteristics. The ultra efficiency Y-PIPE for 370z eliminates huge restrictions found on the factory Nissan exhaust system piping, and provides huge horsepower gains when used with Tanabe catback exhausts.

As above, for normal / spirited road use, BBK it's going to be a bit of overkill. Better Stoptech discs and Hawk pads for instance will do perfectly. Alternatively, find an used set of 350z GT Brembo brakes and replace the pads, discs and lines. Have a browse here for some inspiration. http://www.torqen.uk/17-brakes For BBK, have a look at our own kit here: http://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/brakes/big-brake-kits/1654-350z-torqen-big-brake-kit-trq-bbk350.html PM me for a price for 6 / 4 pot setup.

"Because an exit from the EU on 23 June would represent possibly the most right-wing exit imaginable. Even a fanatical optimist cannot believe that the values of internationalism and equality will be reinforced by a Brexit in these circumstances. The last four weeks have witnessed a re-emergence of views on a mass scale that seemed safely assigned to the past. The mainstream campaign to leave the EU has pandered to nationalism, has built a wave of anti-immigrant sentiment and has fostered a notion that outside the EU we can return to an age when Britain was the world’s foremost ‘great power’.

"The International Monetary Fund weighed in once more with its thoughts on Britain’s referendum, warning the U.K. could slide into a recession if it quits the European Union. In a 64-page document, the Washington-based fund said that the size of the hit would depend on a multitude of factors, though its overall assessment is that the U.K. “would likely be worse off economically in the long run.†The IMF also warned of a potential credit squeeze if liquidity markets dry up, which could stymie spending and investment. The Bank of England has moved to preempt this with additional auctions to make funds available to banks before and after the vote. In its report, the IMF presented forecasts for “limited†and “adverse†Brexit scenarios. In the worse situation, it sees growth slowing sharply this year and the economy shrinking 0.8 percent in 2017. The impact would see the economy 5.6 percent smaller by 2019 compared with a baseline forecast, while unemployment would rise above 6 percent and the deficit would be wider. IMF officials said that a permanent hit to output would probably mean deeper austerity. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne has said an emergency budget would be required within two months of a Brexit to fill a hole in the public finances." http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-06-17/imf-revives-recession-warning-for-u-k-economy-over-brexit-vote

"Amongst all this, one group of people has been largely ignored - the EU citizens already living here. There are estimated to be around 3 million EU passport holders living in Britain - around 5% of the UK population. This may come as a surprise as most are totally integrated into British life. It is likely that almost everyone in Britain knows someone in this position: they are friends, lovers, employers, colleagues, fellow-students, teachers of our children, academics, businesspeople, nurses and doctors. We’re not talking about those who come for a short time to earn money and then return home. I’m referring to people who have made their lives here, found love, had children, settled into jobs, bought houses. Most of these people can’t vote in the referendum - thanks to our bizarre rules, a French citizen living in the UK for 20 years cannot vote but an Australian here for 3 months can. So those friends and colleagues who are EU citizens are relying on us to protect them. If the vote is to leave, these people would no longer have a guaranteed right to remain in the UK and many could be forced to leave." http://www.huffpost.com/uk/entry/10502680.html?edition=uk
