You could also opt for Teng Tools, these come with a life time guarentee. They are quite pricy, but have seen some on eBay for around £40, new. Also, the wrentchs work best in their mid range apparently, may be worth bearing in mind.

Hi, I picked mine up about a month back now. £7.4K (After haggling for Tax & MoT) - 53K miles - UK GT Spec - Good Condition - Ray's. Only down side is the last service wasn't a Nissan one and there have been a number of owners. And there are a few cratches on the inside drivers door handle, but easily rectified. Still, very happy with it, especially having test drove two for around £9k in a worse condition, but with lower miles. I did speak to the servicing dept at a Nissan Stealership and he said he happily recomend a buying one up to 100k miles if it had a full Nissan Service History. Not sure I'd want one with quite that many miles on the clock! Being an 04 it has cheaper road tax too, £240 ish for the year I think. Good luck and have fun. Jacko

Thanks for the help guys. I'm fairly certain I've tried all switch options with no joy. I must admit I'm really impressed with the designed circuit. Enyoy the weekend. Jacko

Wow, that was quick!! Cheers

Hi Folks, I don't want to sound lazy, but is there an easy remedy to make the mirrors fold in/out automatically?? I usually forget and then have to get back in the car, turn on the ignition etc.. All thoughts greatly accepted! Cheers Jacko

Can I ask where you get bonnet gas struts for under £50? Cheers Jacko

Guess a regular clean/empty is on the cards

Yes, that makes sence. Did feel the plenum yesterday after a run and it does get pretty hot. A thermal Plenum spacer sounds like a good plan, thanks. Something like a 5/16" would give more flow too.

Maybe work getting some sall holed mesh to put over teh intake hole prior to the filter! Nothing too small to restrict the flow, but enough to stop leaves etc from entering. But then again, the suction force may just pull them through anyway! Jacko

I've opted for the standard box with a K&N performace filter. (When it arrives) Not sure if changing the intake pipe from the filter to the throtle body would help. The plastic stock one does get quite warm. Maybe a silicon one or Stainless one would stay cooler, keeping the air cooler. Jacko

I can't comment on water ingress, but I was having a tinker last night and removed the air filter to give it a clean. The box infront of the filter that the existing vent leads too was full of leaves! Admitedly I've only had the car 2 weeks so don't know how long since it's been checked, but there were a good couple of handfulls! Maybe if the air was being drawn in through the bumper rather from inside it may suck up less debris as they are kick up off the road, hard to say really. Probably not the most amout of help, but something to consider. Jacko

Hi Alex. Have PMed you, thanks. (Must admit I sent it twice, wasn't in sent box initially, so thought I hadn't sent it, sorry) Jacko

Thanks for the thread. Interesting read and a thorough test. Simple and effective, nice one. Jacko

Col vids, Nice spot of tail action too. Modified cooling ducts?? Sounds interesting.

Still going for just over the £2 mark on ebay. Ordered, just need to test out my painting skills!

Hi Alex, Thanks for you help. Would you mind PMing me with part no's and prices for the following please? May as well get all the fluids changed. Gearbox Oil DC Moly Engine Oil Diff Oil Brake Fluid Also, could you give me an idea of price for the cheapest gearbox repair/refurb option please, just in case things go down hill. Thanks in advance. Jacko

Ouch, that's not good!! Mine has down 53K miles currently and I've not had it long so I've no idea how long it's been going on for! Best keep my fingers crossed!! Cheers Jacko

Must learn to type faster, your second post appeared after I'd sent mine!! Very informative and interesting, thank you. Fingers crossed there isn't too much wear. Cheers Jacko

Hi husky, Many thanks for the info, I'll get the oil and additive sorted out asap. Hopefully that and changing slowly will do the trick. I'll be sure to should it get worse with time. Sorry to hear that, did it set you back a lot if you don't mind me asking? Just something for me to bear in mind!! Cheers

Afternoon folks. Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on a problem I've got? When shifting up quicky through the gears and giving her some beans, I get a spot of griding going into 5th unless I shift slowly and ease it in! What could be the cause of this, other then bad gear changing?! I'm hoping it's nothing major. Cheers Jacko

Great find, I have a couple of chips to touch up. Cheers

Thanks buddy. Yes, the previous owner kindly removed the flag pole! All stock apart from that.

Found it!!

Evening all, Thanks for the help and info, brilliant. May pass on forging my own turbo though! I'll have a look in to the Plenum spacer too. Photo to follow, wrong computer at the moment! Have a good weekend and let hope the rain stays away! Jacko

Hi, Thanks for the welcomes and speedy replies. Thanks for the pad and disk info, most apreciated. Ferrodo and DBA it is then, award winning is a good thing! Erm, I only have the one pic, waiting to give it a good valet before I get snap happy, but here she is.... Okay, how do I insert a pic?? New to this forum stuff!! Cheers Jacko
