  1. The 350 does use one of the ISO protocols so it MAY work with a UK car too. If I get change tonight il stick my reader on and let you know what protocol it actually uses so we can be sure if this will work with UK cars. Looks a nice piece of kit though.
  2. I like those too and almost bought one a few weeks ago on the offer they had, but I don't want to loose the in-car Bluetooth (no-matter how annoying- that woman can be sometimes..)
  3. Ive wrapped many interior parts on all 3 of my cars before but I tried the Zed roof and failed so miserably. I would suggest going to RT performance up in London. But of a long drive, as it was for me, but the quality of the work speaks for itself and price was reasonable too.
  4. Glad you passed. Few numbers there are very close to the limits though. Not that that's unusual, all zeds that ive seen seem very close.
  5. Don't have the cash available sadly but GLWTS, they do look like some of the best condition rays ive seen in a long while (making me reconsider my potential purchase of Rota GTR's)
  6. I think the seats are just GT style leather ones 9asside from the orange stitching and the breather holes) as the shape is exactly the same including the extra middle support on the drivers seat. The Louis Vuitton parts are the "snakeskin feel" parts listed below that. im guessing anyway. 2x drivers and passengers side arm/elbow rests complete rear strut cover Steering wheel LV Edition badge on the back if you can remove it
  7. Fair enough. In the photo I posted I was more questioning why you would run the tyre 2-3mm from the top of the wheel arch. If the suspension moved EVEN SLIGHTLY you would just rip the tyre to pieces or damage your arches....surely??
  8. I just don't get what the point of this is unless your suspension has been replaced with solid iron girders to stop the wheels moving(and that this would fall foul of UK MOT laws as the wheels and tyres are past the arch) . Image below stolen from the US site
  9. I always wondered this too, assumed mine was broken, now I know !
  10. Are these the same things ZMANALEX sells? http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR9.TRC1&_nkw=nissan+350z+compression+arm&_sacat=0&_from=R40
  11. I agree, at least two torque wrenches, one for higher torques, such as wheel nuts and one for lower ones such as spark plugs. thing I have a 6 inch long one (oh-er missus) that does something like 20-50 Nm and then a larger one, 20 inches or so from 40- 300 Nm ish, very useful tools. Other than that, a decent socket set. I've been through so may £10 - £30 sets you wouldn't believe, they always fail when working on cars eventually, usually sheared adaptors or damaged ratchet mechanisms, I recommend Halfords advance for these
  12. For small parts I usually use eBay. I always use the 3M di-noc wrap for carbon as I prefer its appearance but hexxis for everything else
  13. I must say that is a particularly bad 24 hrs! hope you catch the mouse (or it ran away)
  14. Yep, the adapters are between 60-80 usually on here. Keep an eye out
  15. This annoys me SO much. Why can't people just hold a set speed!!!
  16. Yeah I would be comfortable with it asking as its no higher than the door sills. Also I always just keep my revs high to keep water out the exhaust but go slowish so as to not splash water up into the filter
  17. As above. I follow the handbook rule. Use Cc when the traffic flow means you don't have to keep making adjustments to the speed. If you are having to then disengage it and use your foot.
  18. Thanks Chris that would be amazing. As RT says editing mode does work (I didn't realise that) but you loose the functionality such as bold and stuff unless you manually type the tags
  19. Yeah, decided il probably go with the standard GTR's, didn't realise the D's had a lip like that which on the roads round here will be octagonal shaped in no time. CS has advised me that with the D's an offset of 25 for the front and 12 for the rears should be OK so I guess the same applies for the standard ones. Saving time now!
  20. Wow lots of replies! lol I don't plan on lowering the car at all, too many speed bumps and the car is plenty low enough seeing as I park in a steep multi-storey 5 days a week and already scrape the front bumper CS, il give you a PM but this was a speculative post for purchases sometime in/after summer Id prefer if possible to avoid using spacers and just have it as close to the arch edges as possible without the aforementioned spacers. *goes and does some reading on offsets* Im looking at getting them in the silver with polished lip as in....
  21. Hey all, since the Nismo LMGT4's cost a gazillion pounds I (as many other people have) am looking at the Rota GTR-D's as a replacement. Cheapest place I've found is Driftworks http://www.driftworks.com/rota-gtr-d-18-wheels-all-colours.html but am confused with all the numbers. I want to stay with 18's as I don't want to change the rolling radius of the wheels and affect the speedo. I'm guessing to stay as close as possible to the OEM alloys id want to go for 9.5" fronts and 10" rears with an offset of 35. They do of course do 12 inch wheels too and an offset of 10 is available across all sizes. Just wondered/hoped that someone could take a look at the site and quickly let me know which set-up would be as close as possible to the OEM wheels. I don't mind going slightly wider if it wont affect anything but obviously don't want the tyres/wheels and thinner than OEM. Obviously I also don't want to have to modify the arches or use any arch extensions to keep the wheels legal Cheers guys
  22. If anyone picks up on this, maybe take a look at the last post here, or the middle post which is a link to the IPboard support forums with a fix.http://community.invisionpower.com/resources/bugs.html/_/ip-board/enter-key-does-not-work-when-posting-in-ie10-r38650
