Needs a 3rd exhaust tip

Shame about the turn out. The weather probably had a say in that I'd imagine

Lucked like you guys had a good time anyway. I've only a few weeks left in the football season, so hoping to get to a few events when my Sundays are free again!

Carbon rear hatch next?

the clear front reflectors It installs on Z years 2004?

 

Sorry, I should have said. They are for the 2006 facelift bumper.

Are you sure ? They look like pre facelift to me when you compare them to the orange pair.

Yea, 100% pre facelift.

One positive aspect of rolling the arches is, you do not get a build up of crap on the arch lip that never really dries out especially during the winter months, then if not kept clean, this is why most cars get the rust starting to creep in

I would call that a negative TBH. With the arches as standard you can easily run a finger over them and remove the crud, with them rolled, you're never getting that stuff out of there.

So you've had this whole day and haven't swapped the engines over yet?

Your inbox appears to be full Neil.

I'll have the clear reflectors if they're still available, mate

Decats will cause rasp, HFCs less so.

Thats it. Joke that they're left in.

These are 2 great sites with info on what to do. Pretty much all the best things are in the north and west of the country, except St James Gate in Dublin if you want to tour the Guinness factory and get to taste a proper pint

The route in the first link is a recommended 5 days, but it could easily be done in 2 depending what you want to see along the way. Don't forget the Titanic museum in Belfast if that interests you too.

Nice! Bet you've still got the suspension "anti fun" clamps on the front though. Go and check asap for clips attached to your front springs, full lock and spend at last 1 min looking. Mine are around the back of the spring

Surely you mean "were" around the back of the spring?

Welcome mate, where abouts are you?

The Nismo is a beaut. I'd love to get you out to a meet over here with Stu and his white Nismo

 

thanks kyle , here where bouts are yous? here in N.I.? we're doing a renegades run from banbridge to spelga dam to castlewellan on sunday

Ooohh interesting. I'm in Portadown, Stu's up Derry direction, but there are quite a few others over here. More info on the run please!

If there is no bulge, it is 100% not an HR, the engine wouldn't fit under a normal bonnet. Are there any interior photos so you can be sure it's even a RevUp?

Maybe not at all mate, but lets consider to prep and paint an oem (remove/refit etc) would be circa £200, 3 x times that is excessive imho and something that should be made clear at the start, i had a mounting point that was an inch and half short from where it should mount, having to drill holes into the body itself where the original cs slides into the oem fixings, no mounting at all for the number plate light and boot release, literally having to tigerseal it in place, issues of the extra thickness from being a mould of a mould, i personally dont consider that good quality or certainly not the quality they are made out be, least of all rt's borderline rude attitude and late to the party info that they allow two days to fit and paint, if they know they allow two days to fit and paint, why not say on the adverts, simply because they know sales would drop.

£600 to fit is ridiculous! Sounds like it was a right dog.

Is 2 days not kind of normal for fitting a fibreglass bumper? By the time the original is removed, new one offered up, holes drilled/cut, areas masked up, filler set, sanding and prep done, paint booth set up, painted cured, put back together, clean up, polished etc etc. For OEM parts i would expect it to take a full day, drop off in the morning and pick it up the next afternoon.

Am I being too lenient?

Irish weather is much the same as the rest of the UK. It can rain whenever it likes, it can snow in June, it can be 25°C in April, or most likely, it'll be pleasant weather around 16-18° and may or may not drizzle a bit. The south tends to be a couple of degrees warmer than the north, just like the mainland, however, the north has better roads in terms of quality, but the scenery north and south is epic in places.

4 days is no where near enough to take it all in, so you really need to get a list of must haves and work from there. The North Coast Road is an absolute must, start in Larne and follow it around to Portstewart, taking in The Giants Causeway, Dunluce Castle and The Dark Hedges along the way. There's day 1

West Donegal around Kilcar is also stunning and easily integrated. However, Kerry and Killarney are also amazing, especially the Ring of Kerry, but a 5 hour drive from Donegal. If you're down that far, you have to go to visit Blarney Castle and kiss the stone

Of course the EU citizens need protected, but I don't believe for 1 second that the UK or the EU would boot anyone out of either Union who is contributing to society. I didn't read the bill, I doubt anyone of us did, so I can't make a 100% judgement if what they did was right or not. My gut tells me they did the right thing.

The BRZ is certainly the one I would have out of the two also. I watched a review once that compared the BRZ to the GT86 and the consensus on the handling was that the BRZ's suspension is set slightly softer at the rear for handling on track, compared the the slightly stiffer GT86 for drifting, so that would explain why some people prefer one to the other after having driven both.

Buckle owner here, you can have them back along with your exhaust kyle, one day... Not today not tomorrow but one day

God damn you!!! lol

Good to know, though, give me a shout if you come to selling up

Don't be tempted to really tighten it back up in the mean time, you can damage the linkage if you don't grip the shaft at the same time with vice grips or similar.

I would say the parts are possibly the same in the 350Z.

This is going to be a very quiet thread
