  1. My car is in for a P2 service and MOT (Firsway Nissan Leigh) and they advised me that the spark plugs are due for replacement at a cost of £186. Car mileage is about 57000. I know they're a bit awkward to replace but this seems inordinately high. Anyone else got any quotes on this job? Cheers.
  2. I notified my insurance, telling them that I am replacing the OEM exhaust due to corrosion and replacing it with a stainless steel exhaust. I told them that there would be no change in BHP but they asked me what BHP it is at the moment. On the check at RS Tuning with plenum spacer and Uprev, it was 293BHP. I asked her how accurate that needs to be and she told me that if I think that there IS going to be a power increase, I need to get it checked and let them know the new BHP. So it looks like I may need to pay a visit to Paul after all. Any idea what Paul charges for just a tune and a run on the Dyno?
  3. Cheers m8. I'll suck it and see.
  4. I have a 55 plate Z. My OEM exhaust split near the back last week. I'm booked in at a place to get a custom made stainless steel exhaust fitted. A few months ago I got the Uprev reflash and plenum spacer fitted at RS Tuning. Will I need to go back to Paul and get it retuned after the new exhaust has been fitted? Any advice will be appreciated.
  5. He IS actually aware of something that most people are not. Both parties in America (Republicans and Democrats) are run by a cartel of corporations and private banks. They also run the three political parties (at top level) in the UK. Gives us that illusion of electing a government. He knows we're all being conned.

    My new Zed

    Looking smart. It's sacrilege that a car like this should get mistreated by ANYONE. They should have it forcibly taken away and forced to drive a Ford Mondeo for the rest of their natural life.

    My First Z

    Including VAT, £468. That's for the Uprev flash and fitting of the plenum spacer. It doesn't include the cost of the plenum spacer which was a shade over £200. Living in a Manchester postcode, I struggled to get insurance once I had modified the car. Cheapest insurance I could get after shopping around everywhere was £945 with Adrian Flux. That's for a 46 year old with 12 years no claims and just one SP30 on my licence.

    My First Z

    Bought this six weeks ago. Got the Uprev reflash and plenum spacer both done by RS Tuning. 293.4BHP on the rolling road. Drives like a dream! And that sound! Uploaded with ImageShack.us
  9. I bought my Z from a dealer a little over a month ago. I have the statutory 3 month warranty only. When I travel at speed and LIGHTLY touch the brakes, there is a little bit of a shudder through the brake pedal. This shudder is not present with medium to heavy braking. It originally did it with more aggressive braking so I took it back to the dealer last week. However, it had seemed to ease off and the mechanic test driving it with me couldn't really feel any problem. They took it in the workshop and had a look at all the discs and said they were all fine except for a little line of rust on one of them. Is this just pad deposits or rust that is correcting itself or should I take it back again and ask them to check for disc thickness variation? Cheers.
  10. I'm actually with Adrian Flux as they gave the cheapest quote at £945!!!! I'll do a year with them and shop around again as I'll have owned the car claim free for 12 months.
  11. Sky won't touch the Manchester postcode.
  12. Cheers. With the insurance quotes I've been getting, I feel like an 18 year old chav with a string of convictions rather than a 46 year old coffin dodger with 12 years no claims and 15 years experience driving a performance car. Your insurance should be about £250 to £300 -try Privilege or Admiral Tried Admiral. With my mods (plenum spacer and Uprev) got quoted £988 mainly because of my Manchester postcode. Most companies would not even give me a quote on a modified vehicle. I actually live in a nice area.
