  1. Agreed. I think him driving into the rear of Lewis was just a mistake and these things happen, it was driving alongside and barging him that was totally wrong. Even if it wasn't a deliberate barge, he should never have put himself in that position.

    He'll be kicking himself too as the rear ender probably would've just gone down as a racing incident then he would have won the race :lol:

  3. 08-09 Production S2K's can suffer from engine rattle. Apparently its a fairly common problem so avoid any built in those years. The only fix is a new engine apparently which may have the same issue :scare:

     

    My mate just bought his second one S2 last week and was told about the issue from Tom @ TGM Fleet so i reckon it must be true...

  4. I have a cobra resonated exhaust at the mo. Just the back though so cats an y pipe are Oem.

     

    I'm thinking of selling next year anyway so don't need to upgrade, just needs to be fixed adequately.

     

    Was just toying up hfc if they are reasonable compared to Oem replacement. I'll pm Alex.

  5. So the other day I was driving home from work and the exhaust note changed and didn't sound too good.

     

    I took my car to my local garage today and they have advised that the engine is hesitating under load so they have taken a temperature test of the catalytic converters and one has gone.

     

    Bank 2 was too low to be effective and bank 1 was fine. They recommend they should be changed and do both at the same time.

     

    The bad news is that they can only order the parts from Nissan main dealer and they will be over £2k for everything. They also said the lambda sensors may need to be replaced if they can't remove them from the original cats so have included them in the quote.

     

    The parts are -

     

    Near side catalytic converter

    Off side catalytic converter

    Manifold lambda sensor

    Offside rear lambda sensor

    Near side rear lambda sensor

    Down pipe to catalytic converter gasket

    Catalytic converter to centre exhaust gasket

     

    I have always supplied my own parts before so they said if I can source them it'll just be £80 labour to fit.

     

    So what do people think would be best, Oem cats or maybe changing to high flow cats? Can anyone confirm whether I'll need the sensors too? Just want the car back to full health but for the best price.

     

     

     

     

     

  6. I feel Lewis' Malaysia retirement robbed us of a good competitive end to the season. Nico did what he had to do and finish behind Lewis but i would have much preferred him have to win at least one the races to win the season. The Merc could have finished on the podium starting from the back of the grid on 90% of tracks this year easily.

  7. Apparently insurance premiums have risen around 10% generally this year. Not sure why that is, maybe a lot of people crashed last year.

     

    Good luck in finding a cheap premium but i don't think under £900 is too bad considering your age and only 4 years NCB
