Are these valve stems?

Does anyone on here have chrome valve stems and caps on their car. I want to put some on my standard 18s. Can anyone make a recommendation? Thanks Shinjuku

Planning on getting my wheels refurbished soon. Im likely to go for a slightly lighter and more silver shade than standard. This makes me think about the centre caps. These might look a bit dark. What do other people do Cheers Shinjuku

decats rattle at 2k rpm apparently. Bear that in mind.

I have the nismo pedal and I agree it makes a lot of difference laterally. My heel and toe was coming on quite well with it. However, ive bought myself a pair of race boots so I have a pair of shoes which will provide good pedal feel but more importantly give consistency when driving. However the sole of the shoes being thin has had the effect of giving me a bit less reach on the heel - where what you are looking to do is pivot the heel right and then quickly down without simultaneously increasing pressure on the brake. Really then what I need is to drop the brake pedal by a centimeter or two so that I need to make a less significant downward movement with the heel. The lateral position is fine with the nismo pedal. Is there a way to make such an adjustment? Cheers Shinjuku

Bump?

Im looking forward to getting the roof down thats for sure.

If anyone knows (i.e. is genuinely familar with) the Gulf de St Malo, Baie de la Seine and/or the area between La Harve and Boulogne Sur Mer and is willing to give me some advice on holiday locations please drop me a PM. Cheers Shinjuku

Is it possible to move the throttle pedal a tiny bit closer to the driver or the brake a little further away. Or is the location of the pedals completely fixed. Cheers Shinjuku

Have a go with one of these dan. No wire poking out. As you say sound is not cd but its radio quality easy enough.

Its not Bose, no. However, until someone makes a quality version it will do me. For a tenner its functional.

Was browsing ebay the other week and came across a tape that you can put an SD card in and which has codecs inside which push the sound out through the tape head http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180760025621? ... 1497.l2649 Anyway, it arrived the other day. Charged it up and tried it out. With my headphones in (it also functions as an mp3 player) the sound quality was pretty disgusting with none of the EQ settings giving anything close to decent music. I was disappointed. Anyway, I got home and gave it a roll in the Zed. The results are a lot better. There is some hiss (like a tape) and you would not mistake it for CD - it would pass for radio though once you have selected the right EQ setting on the device and adjusted the bass on the stereo a bit. It comes with a little remote control which allows you to change tracks with it in the stereo and other bits and pieces. In summary would be that its a great idea and if a bit more cash had been put into the hardware and digital analogue conversion process it could probably have been a more effective piece of kit. Its not going to replace your CD multichanger, but it does provide a nice extra option for long journeys / when you need a change. For £10 delivered you can't really go wrong. Hope someone finds that useful. Shinjuku

Cool. Thanks guys. The tardis it shall be !

Good. I was thinking it looks pretty cavernous in there. So its well established that its ok to put stuff in there? If there are any tips on packing techniques or things to make sure I avoid please let me know.

I have been thinking about using the area under the roof hatch as emergency storage space recently. Do any other roadster owners do this. If so what sort of things do you put in there - weight, size etc. Is there much chance of anything fouling the mechanism in there and if so what do you do to deal with that. Cheers Shinjuku

Thats always worth doing...

Over the years I have got fed up with this in respect of my current car and previous ones. My approach is: If the questioner is vaguely into cars I say a 350z. If I think such a response is only going to lead to a discussion where I try and educate someone about something they don't have an underlying interest in, I say "a Nissan". If my supposition was right they say "oh right" we breifly talk about the generally percieved reliability of japanese cars and the discussion moves on. If I was wrong then they say "which model" and I tell them. I'm past using my car to big myself up to other guys and as I have a fiancee I have no need to try and impress the chickas. Shinjuku

Now sold. Mods please lock. Shinjuku

Looking a lot better there than you did at the kent meet biscuit.

Great series. Catch it from the start with this DVD box. We keep a DVD on the go for when there is no decent TV on (most of the time!). Recognised as one of the best series in recent years The Wire is a must watch. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0306414/ £8 delivered Shinjuku

So I could win your indebtedness? Would rather have your equity! :grin:

So near yet so far! I cant see me getting to 5000. Had about 2500 on my last cars forum but that was over four years... Come on folks! Is there no list matching post count to title?

Lol. True but is there a list of them anywhere

Probably in the wrong section and maybe findable if you use the modular but I usually use tapatalk. Can someone direct me to the list of condition markers and associated post counts please. Ie I am currently zed dedicated

Nice price there. Might get one for front and one for rear! Decent quality from your video too
