  1. Ordered berks and ams pulleys from tarmac.Should be here in next couple of weeks. Fitted jwt pop charger last week (Love it) Back to rs for changes to uprev. Possible wheel re furb as the polished lip is now pitted from one trip out over christmas. Front bumper re sprayed. Get it out of hibernation and into use for march.(Im already missing it after only 3 weeks).
  2. Thanks for the reply but still alot of money for a badge especially with shipping. Hoped someone had de badged theirs and had one lying round. If it not sorted in the next few weeks ill ask my boss to get one in the usa when he goes again in 3 weeks.
  3. I caught the Z on the 350z boot badge with my chamois and have been to the dealer this morning for a replacement. As expected they only do the full 350z badge.The best bit is the price......£48.79+vat!!!! He wasnt even laughing when he said it. Can anyone help me out, I only need the 'Z' part I can paypal money if someones got one spare. Thanks guys.

    NITROUS

    Having sat down and thought about things sensibly it might be wise to have it fitted and set up by won then book it in with rs to have it checked on the rollers.I already have the uprev licence so its only mapping costs. wasso, does the nitrous come in with a bit of a kick as i think thats what im missing from my cosworth. How long does the bottle last?

    NITROUS

    Just had a quote from WON in doncaster for fitting me a system with progressive control. My concern is that i thought i may need to retard my ignition,But they seem happy to fit the kit up to 75 bhp without the need for it. They said i will be ok if my car has automatic timing adjustment and my ignition hasnt been advanced when i had the uprev done. Not sure wether or not it was advanced at rs but does the car have automatic adjustment anyway? Anyone else fitted a nitrous kit and come across these issues? im currently at 294 bhp and would like at least 350. Thanks guys.
  6. Got a bit sucked in with the lovely new double din head units available. After a day of looking around i got sat down and started thinking about why i should change. My standard bose system has no faults and sounds good. What are the benefits of a change and what else do i need for dab aside from the head unit?
  7. I have had my 2004 zed for a couple of months now and am thinking about what to do next with it. I have a plenum spacer,hks panel,milltek and uprev from rs tuning. Im thinking about high flow cats and lightweight pulleys,but is this as far as i can go? These mods sould push me past 300hp as im at 294hp already after the uprev. While im asking,does anyone know how many hp the most powerfull n/a cars have? Anyone have a similar setup to me but with hfc and or lightweight pulleys?
  8. Funny you should say that,its lasted 7 years but today i cought it on a bit of rough ground and had to repair it! It is stone chipped and ive had a quote for re spraying last week. Its gonna be about £200 plus £150 if i want it clear wrapped.
  9. Springs came from horsham developments thursday. Took about 2 hours to fit all 4,quite easy really ,but glad i watched the how to video on youtube it was very helpfull. Cant tell too much from the photos but measured from a level floor the fronts have dropped 12mm and the rears 15mm. Went for geometry set-up yeterday at york.They did a good job and was interesting to watch.
  10. Its your money .If its what you want go for it. Make sure you get all the documents for repairs and give the car a good test drive. Ask what it was cat d for,Should be quite minor and be specific when checking those areas of the car. Good luck. Hope its ok.
  11. I might make her get out for a cig but it still makes my car stink when she gets back in! How is it that i can use the car every day with my work boots and overalls on,but the passenger side mat window and seat that are only used at weekends get twice as dirty!!! if i made that kind of mess in the house she'd go mental. No respect.
  12. The wheels are linea corse from america but im not sure on the model number. Im only getting springs at the minute,was going for 30mm eibachs but i dont want to get into arch rolling or geometry issues,the teins are only a small drop so should be ok.
  13. Dont have a fancy snow foam lance like the rest of you,so i went for a super soapy fairy liquid wash first to remove the old polish etc that was on my paint. Then i clayed the whole car (Not bad at all for 7 years old) Meguiars paint condioner Meguiars polish meguiars carnuaba wax to finish meguiars metal polysh on wheel rims and milltek meguiars endurance tyre gel Took about 4 hours with an assistant and came out pretty well I already have a meguiars water magnet for drying but the terry towel that came with the detailing spray for the clay is far superior,Im going to invest in some more of these. I also bought some detailing spray.I dont like the idea of this stuff but never tried it so ill give it a go. All in all a day well spent i think.Im certainly happier knowing its been done properly.
  14. Had my car a few weeks now and it seems to be coming together. Fitted my milltek a couple of weeks ago at rs tuning when i had the uprev done. Fitted my wheels this week.They are 9x19 fronts and 10x19 rears (245/35) (275/35) Spent sunday giving the car its first detail since i bought it. As you can see in the photos its not sitting quite right at the back so ive ordered some teins from Horsham,should be here this week.
  15. Thanks. North eastern tyres at york is close to me so ill give them a try.
  16. Anywhere recommended? Im near to Hull/Doncaster/York. Fitting my new tein springs this coming week to compliment my new wheels and think a full setup would be a good idea. Any advice appreciated thanks.
  17. Fitted my new wheels this week (19"x8" 19"x10") They look good but they seem to make the gaps in the arches a little too big for my liking. I have my tein s tech 17/14 springs coming tuesday hopefully. Even though it might not seem necessary i would like the car properly aligned after fitment. Can anyone recommend or knows of somewhere near to me (york/doncaster/hull) thats up to the job. There is a volvo dealer in malton that the evo lads use but i have no knowledga of what to look for. Any help would be appreciated,Thanks.
  18. My vts has headwork/cams/custom map/manifold/scorpion with de-cat. I bought it with printout for 157bhp and i have since added a better exhaust manifold. The best thing i have done is the S1 rallye gearbox. 160bhp isnt too hard,its getting beyond this thats the problem. Doesnt matter now anyway because its sat in the back of the workshop gathering dust next to my saab 93.
  19. Been to rs today. Exhaust fitted and uprev. Before 283.7 bhp After 292.0 bhp 25 lb ft gain at 2600 rpm tailing off to 10 lb ft increase throught.
  20. 2004 uk car Rs tuning dyno dynamics uprev/plenum spacer/hks drop in/milltek with Y pipe/standard cats. Before 283.7bhp/260 torque After 292bhp/275 torque Shell v-power 25 lb ft torque gain at 2600rpm tailing off to 10 lb ft throught
