    Spacers Question

    Sorry if it's been covered already, but I didn't manage to find anything on this. I am running a stock suspension, and stock Rays from the GT pack on my 350z DE. If I were to fit 25mm front and 30mm rear spacers, would that cause any issues? Has anyone done that with my kind of setup? Cheers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  3. I'm not massively into US politics, but this one will be a rollercoaster ride to say the least! The way I see it, citizens of the USA fall into two categories: Category 1 consists of - Trigger happy gun lovers - Rednecks - Racists - Xenophobes - Sexists (I would assume this is another threat as some people may vote for Trump, purely on the basis that they don't want the first female president...) Supporting article here: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/03/who-are-donald-trumps-supporters-really/471714/ Then you have category 2 - everyone else (generally considered the more well-informed voters) All I can say is that it's going to be a close one, and I for one, seriously hope that it goes the way of the Democrats! Some striking similarities to another recent vote that we should not bring up again
  4. I've heard a lot about it, but was forced to go the Invidia Gemini route due to TUV certification. Just wondering, how much louder is the ARK compared to the Gemini? (if it in fact is - as I've heard people saying that the Invidia is quiet)

    Interior Wrap

    As above, I don't think it's really worth your time stripping the interior for a wrap. Dipping would look so much better!
  6. Will do..... It should be getting MOTd by the end of the month, so will be within a few weeks of that. 240z is being dry fitted now, then paint, so its not too far off completion and I am only allowed to keep one. Out of interest, how long were these at Sly's? I didn't realize it was forum member until just now. I drove over to Sly's for a service and while I was waiting, stumbled across these two parked up the side of the building. They looked lovely in person! Not long.... blue one got sold off quickly and this one went to bodyshop. Must've stopped over at just the right time. I remember arriving back in Luxembourg after seeing them and telling my old man about them. He used to own a Mk1 Cortina 1.6 twin cam back in the day! Then moved on to a Mk1 Escort, followed by the Capri 2.8

    Guess the Car

    Y'know, I was thinking about doing just that! Bit difficult watching all these lovely cars coming in across the road and being stuck in the office. Seen a few more beauties this summer already (all of these across the road). 1957 Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione Dodge Viper ACR Racecar Ferrari 246 Dino A few BMW i8s Bentley Continental GT Aston Martin Vanquish Mosler MT900 (first one I've ever seen!) Maserati MC12 - rare as rocking horse s*** Couple of E Type Jaaaaaaaaaaaaags Will see if I can get a thread going of my sightings Seriously with that kind of collection I would be paying him to be my friend. Lol You will normally find anyone with such a collection will be very proud of his cars and more than happy to show you them. Don't be shy - it's good to talk. Alfa 8c and Vanquish are two of my favourites I think he keeps those at a different location though. I've heard that most of his collection is racecars from different eras. Will get back if I manage to take a look later.
  8. Yeah that irritating airbag light... as above, the ignition trick works every time Found that out myself when I bought the car. I think that issue was actually what led me to this forum in the first place!

  11. Looks lovely! How easy was it to fit that zunsport out of interest? Keep telling myself I will buy one, but need to know I can take it off and replace it easily.
  12. Don't focus to much on how many miles are on the car. The engines in 350Z tend to be verging on bulletproof. If I were you, I would focus more on how well taken care of the car has been and that it has been serviced correctly at reputable garages.
  13. I've just realised that! Good spot. On another note, if it happened overnight, did you not hear the collision? What was the taxi driver doing until morning? As Kyle says, drink would be an obvious starting point.
  14. A little devastated? I would be absolutely crushed if that was something I woke up to! So sorry to hear that and hope it gets sorted out for you. Problem is that insurance companies never pay you enough to get another good example if it's considered a write-off... at least that's how things have gone previously for me. If you were thinking of selling off bits for spares, the only thing I really had a need for was a WV2 rear bumper... but it appears your one is in not such a good state! Anyways, hope it all gets sorted out!

    Strangely I think it's done like this on purpose to hide some of the cars from view!
  16. For me it wasn't finding the hole that was the problem, it was fitting it in....

    Guess the Car

    Over here, that is the 3rd F40 I have seen since April! It's pretty unbelievable. I posted another thread last month because I spotted a LaFerrari that just pulled into the restaurant car park across the road from our apartment too. Seen a couple of Enzos at an event in Milan some years back... The only one I am yet to see "in the wild" is the elusive F50!

    New WHIP 4x4

    £1800 looks to be an absolute bargain for that! Good buy!
  19. I'm also looking to know how these would fit without spacers. Would they sit near enough flush to the arches? For example, I needed to use spacers s(20mm front and 25mm rear) for my OEM Rays. If I could achieve same fitment as that with these Rotas, I'd be happy! Front: 9.5J ET20 Rear: 10J ET15
  20. I'm sure it's possible... more than possible! Maybe a photo might help!
  21. Yeah, I've had the windscreen replaced on my Zed 3 times due to stones... and I think that the cost Nissan would charge over here will be so much more than in the UK. Fortunately, I have to go down to the stealership to pick her up later this afternoon hopefully. Some bodywork and paint being done due to some ***** being an idiot on the motorway! Can't wait to have her back!
  22. Someone needs to create a Road Rage thread! lol
