  1. You knew what i meant Are they easy to adjust, ill be looking to do it myself. What sort of tension should the pulleys be at?
  2. How do you readjust them please mate?
  3. Get a squeaky noise at idle from the ngine bay. It sounds like its coming from the pulleys but not entirely sure. Im pretty sure its being made by a belt. Its worse when the engine is cold. Is this normal or can it be sorted out. If so how please? Cheers
  4. is that how long it takes me or takes a garage? whats involved in doing the bushes and how long does that take?
  5. I need to get my rears done. How easy are they to do? Or what price can you do fitted. Ta
  6. was cleaning the car earlier and noticed the off side wing micro is loose. the bracket lifts away at the bottom. how easy is it to access the back of the mirror to resecure it. i had a quick look and it didn't jump out and punch me in the face. pictures would be good if anyone has them but can't imagine why anyone would have them. cheers guys
  7. sorry if this is in the wrong section. I've always seen oil catch cans installed on modified cars in magazines etc, am wondering what they actually do and if there is a benefit to fitting one? cheers
  8. This happened today and happened for a very short time during an 80 mile journey. I was driving at speed and all of a sudden heard a noise, i initially thought it was the car in front and it sounded like the exhaust had fallen off. Then realised it was coming from my car, all dials and gauges showed normal. The rev counterwas behaving normally and the car still accelerating and pulling. Sounded like it could have been something caught in the arch. Then the sound went and didnt come back. Any ideas what this could have been?
  9. Toying with the idea of relocating the front number plate. Either off setting it or leaving it in place but replacing it with either a stick on plate or fitting the standard plate direct to the bumper without the black backing. Anyone else done this and have any pictures or views on how it looks?
  10. Will it allow me to use my ipod/iphone to play music through the bose system?
  11. Ordered a stubby aerial now. Should have it in couple of days.
  12. Had it a month or so. Think that was me. You was sat behind me for quite a while? I was on my way home from clacton.
  13. Cheers guys. I lie in east london but the photos are in clactom at my gfs house. Want to get the aerial changed. Have visions of someone walking past and snapping it off. Been considering the suspension and spacers but will be after christmas before id be doing anything about it.
  14. Washed it today and took these. Theyre taken on my iphone so not the best quality but better than nothing.
  15. ill be doing a near 70 mile journey tomorrow and the same back on thursday. i will do a comparison (roughly with eco and normal modes and get back to you.
  16. been out in the car tonight and had a play. the car feels a lot more responsive in the sp mode really does seem to move off quicker, takes a bit to get used to it, and a lot more sluggish in eco mode swell, as it is supposed to. so far so good.
  17. Fitted mine today. Easy enough to do but quite fiddly.all is working so far but i havent driven it yet. I will let all know how i get on when i play. The wire sleeve on the display unit isnt the best fit, theres a gap between sleeve and unit of less than half mill. but a minor thing really. £120 delivered by epracing on ebay. Ordered on 14th, arrived 16th.
  18. Cheers mate. Did try googling it but had no luck. Personally i prefer them to the standard badges so shall be leaving as is.
  19. Haadnt payed much attention since i bought it but walked past a z earlier and noticed it had nissan burger badges on. Ive tried ebay but cant find anything like these. Are they aftermarket or an option from nissan.
  20. hey all. I'm not particularly good with car electronics and the workings etc. what I'm wondering is if the nissan hands free that is installed in my car can be replaced by a parrot ( a Parrot handsfree, not wether a parrot could replace it before anyone says that) or wether the system is specifically wired into the headunit. when i had my RX8 people used to hook parrots up to the bose system in them and I'm sure they could then connect an iPod to the stereo via that. cheers
  21. Prefer not to say on an open forum mate. Course is not a general course though. Certain elements should be taught on driving lessons though.
  22. I have notced how quickly it gets up to speed and how easy it is not to notice.
  23. This is a really good thread, not enough of these on other forums in my opinion. I hope you dont mind my input on this, being new and all. Ive actually been trained in fast road driving. One thing from the original post id like to add to if thats ok. For normal driving on normal roads you need to be able to stop in the distance you can see. On country roads they taught us that the stopping distance is half the distance you can see. On coming traffic needs time to stop aswell and they wont be able to see you if you cant see them. Another thing they teach is to keep your vision up. Be looking well ahead into the distance having hazards identified well before you reach them and Adjusting to changes. When on country roads looking through tree lines or in large dips, thrying to identify other road users at the earliest oppurtunity. And looking for signs that other road users are giving you eg parked cars steering wheels moving drivers heads turning, little things that before id not have payed attention to. Having done the course it doesnt make me a faster driver, anyone can drive fast, it has tought me how to do it in a safer way being more aware of what else is going on around me.
  24. Pics to follow when i get a chance during the day. Im working all weekend.
