  1. That will still be a pain in the dick to get to/from, every penis in their people carrier will be on the M60 getting off at J9/10. I would love a Krispy Kreme but doubt I could stomach the inevitable traffic :D

     

    I'll keep my eye on this thread though as I've not had a NW meetup, wouldn't mind staring at a 350z again, sold mine earlier this year

     

    But this is just my opinion, feel free to ignore me and meet there anyway, might be fine!

  2. Best place for information are the following sites :

    I wouldn't trust any cameras being reviewed by a TV show as they could easily be getting paid to say it's good. 1080p is minimum, GPS is great, G-Sensor is great but means the camera needs to have power 24/7 so you either need something like "Blackvue Power Magic" to stop the battery being drained or to just have the camera turn on with ignition (which is what I have).

     

    Blackvue cameras seem to be good but for the price, several hundred, they don't offer enough of a performance jump over the Mini 0801 and similar cameras. Techmoan.com reviews a lot of cameras and if he says the 0801 is good, it's good :)

     

    And if you buy one that is well supported on dashcamtalk you can just post a thread on there and should have all your camera problems solved!

  3. Has anyone tried the Mini 0801?

     

    I've got two, front and rear. Bought from a UK seller in case of any issues, easier to send back to a bloke in Manchester than China!

     

    One of them is knackered but the other one works great. GPS works perfectly and the cameras small enough to be fairly discrete. I can upload a bit of footage if you want but it'll be from the rear.

  4. Mines a Litchfield stage 4 with Eibach ARBs and a full GTC titanium 90mm exhaust.

     

    Picking it up tomorrow afternoon with russ fellows downpipes, MY11 suspension, new sub & amp, front/rear dashcams, GFB blow off valves, sound deadened rear seats and boot! Should hopefully be making 650hp and have a good but of noise, not that it was lacking in either power or noise before this weekends round of mods!

  5. I've been tempted by a ducktail rear myself, they do look awesome! Car looks great in red, I bet it stays much cleaner than my bloody black one!

     

    You can always pickup the MY11 suspension for around £800 instead of £3.5k for Litchfields, that's what I'm currently having fitted along with a few other bits.

     

    Are you running OEM exhaust except for y-pipe?

  6. If you look at my build thread it contains an Arrokit rear.

     

    I remember the bodyshop saying the for wasn't great and it ended up looking a bit wavvy, not sure if it was the bumper or bodyshop though who was the real issue.

     

    You need to add VAT and delivery on top of their website prices too.

  7. It's less of the fact you started one thread that managed 17 pages, more of the fact you started 35 different threads before even buying a GTR that irritated some of the GTROC users.

     

    http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/search.php?searchid=6772441

     

    I've never found the place hostile and can see both sides of the argument. It is exciting buying a new car but 35 different threads is a bit OTT by anyone's standards.

     

    And it's nothing to do with how you earned your money to buy the car as it was yourself that felt the need to bring up the fact you worked for the money and weren't given it. I'm yet to meet someone on GTROC that was just given the money to buy a GTR, myself included.

     

    Either way, nice to see someone following the same route I took of 350z to GTR.

  8. If you're going for 0-60 in a GTR you leave it in auto as you can't change gears quick enough. If Nissan can do a 2 second 0-60 I'll eat my hat. If a tuned 1400hp with drag tyres on can't do it I doubt Nissan can do it out the box unless the next GTR is going to cost the same as Veyron!
