  1. Thanks everyone! Yea, will get LEDs sorted soon Matty, yea, I should have it! Will try to find it mate and will let you know! Thanks Ian, will get some quick detailed then for it
  2. Nah, I would've found out when I got home by seeing it in reflection! And attitude test definitely didnt fail as I'm always polite to them... As I think being polite, telling the truth and not taking them for idiots - works most of the times!
  3. That's true! But I guess half of Britain would lose their licences if cops were given points for a headlight out etc
  4. Can't it be sprayed with some high temp clear lacquire? To keep it from oxidising? Just an idea lol
  5. Oh wicked! Just got some auto glym metal polish earlier
  6. Is that to me? Lol if so, I didn't lol as was a bit pi**ed off as got producer for nothing...fair enough it was for something more serious that made car dangerous to drive..but side light bulb? 2 min job to replace...but all hussle of going to the garage to get it checked and stamped n then returning producer back...meh! Lol
  7. yea...i had one of them "producers" for a tail light out. ..he obviuosly had nothing better to do...especially when he had to write it out twice as 1st time it didnt copy thru onto 2nd page
  8. Thanks matey what shall i clean it with? Fitted it 2 weeks ago, cleanned car twice or 3 times since and every time gave it a quick wipe and polish...
  9. Think you've been given some duff info there Vlad I've researched this numerous times and spoken to quite a few traffic cops over the years who all come back saying that it has to be on the most front part of the car Putting it in the window may be making it visible, but is illegal - I think the cops just give a bit of discretion when it comes to that from my experience though quite possibly I been given duff info... been reseaching myself and couldn't find any def. answers But as kris sad above - if you dont go over the top with it or do anything stupid - dont think coppers will give you any trouble... but at same time all depends on the copper(s)... as some of them are n*bs!
  10. Then it was time for a remap @ Abbey Motorsport. ^^ new nismo badge couple of videos Rattle in the vid is from sensors vibrating in tail pipes After remap its running 274 at hubs Car drives so much nicer after it! Then i decided i didn't like new nismo badge,so took it off, along with "350z" badge. Replaced rear Nissan badge with a black one Then fitted reverse camera and hooked it up to my HU Someone mentionned it on here, so bought one of them cameras that replace one of number plate lights (but still has a compartment for the light). barely visible Short shifter fitted Not shown, but de-cats and new y-pipe were fitted as well, prior remapping. Can relax now as full service been done(done it myself after reading about bad experiences with garages/dealerships) and most of the bits a had planned are done as well!
  11. Next thing was air intake. Kept original system,but fitted carbon fibre intake tube and velocity stack + HKS upgraded panel filter Took whole thing apart, degreased it and gave it a good wash and claenned MAF sensor with some contact cleaner. Velocity stack before after & filter and re-assembled with C/f tube Then it was time to start putting everything back together incl new bits. Gas Struts Fitted plenum spacer (Thanks to Wasso agan ) Fitted plenum cover, grounding kit and air intake New silicone hoses and strut bar Engine cover, slam panel/coolant cover/ battery & fluid covers are on New brakes on Spark plugs changed All other fluids/oils got changed as well. So absolutely everything in the car nice,fresh and clean now and runs sooo much nicer and smoother now. Then rear carbon fibre diffuser arived from US and A
  12. another update Last few weeks were pretty busy for me...where do I start? lol Ordered some carbon wrap to, originally, wrap my door handles, but then decided against it after reading on here - that it will peel off pretty quick . so wrapped window switches plastics instead ^^ check out cool hair dryer fitted Then had few bits delivered: ^^ De-Cats Y-pipe Plenum spacer Carbon bits for the engine bay (engine cover, battery&fluids covers,coolant panel, air intake tube, bonnet gas struts) New Strut bar Grounding kit (made it myself, pics below) Upgraded HID bulbs Reverse camera New stick on number plate (put old one slightly wonky, but new one is wrong as last 2 letters wrong way around, so need to re-order) Velocity stack Mishimoto coolant hoses New nismo badge in black And all service stuff: Grooved/Drilled front&rear discs with brembo pads HEL Braided brake lines Denso iridium spark plugs HKS hybrid upgraded panel filter And not in the pic: Engine oil/oil filter Gearbox oil + molyslip Diff oil Brke fluid Clutch fluid Coolant So... was bored one night so decided to make a grounding kit. Ordered all bits from ebay and off we go and finished product:) Then replaced areal with RDX(or whatever its called lol) one before after Rear,silver/chrome,nismo badge taken off to be replaced with new,black, one didnt take "after" pic, but there's one below (during remap) Then it was time to start sotrting out engine bay Firsty, stripped everything I was gonna change/clean/upgrade And my living room turned into work shop Before fitting anything back in, decided to clean/polish plenum cover. Before Progress 1st - blast all major crap off with wire brush (Yes, we are cool kids... safety 1st - so 3D glasses came handy ) after we finished with wire brushing Then it was time for sanding it...going from 80grit to finer 2000grit, doing few dry and few wet sands for every type ^^compared to untouched throttle body And then polish it with few different compounds/wax/polish Qute happy with end result. Thanks a lot to Wasso for the tips. Didnt come out as good as yours as I was runing out of time...even tho I allowed my self whole week to do it... lol i guess will take it off and do it again when i get more time Then gave throttle body a quick clean as well, didnt really fancy to mess around it with it
  13. When I had my celica I had it in bodyshop and one of the jobs was to smooth out holes in from bumper made by screws for number plate, and I had my number plate attached l(with suction cups) to the front left corner of windscreen(by tax disc) ones police were driving past as I was getting into my car in a public car park. They stopped for a chat and a quick check...asked about number plate if it was blocking my view-n it wasn't blocking it that much, then they got all their books and manuals out from the boot of their car-but after looking thru them for good 10minutes-they couldn't find anything that said it was illegal, wished me a good day and let me go! Also a friend of mine, about 2 years ago, asked VOSA bloke at one of cruises about having number plate in the window and he said as far as its displayed on the front of the car, it's fully visible and as vertical as possible (as possible...so I guess it don't have to be fully vertical) its fine! My other mate has American style tilted number plate bracket-he got told off n told to change it, as cameras wouldn't pick it up. So long story short - as far as its fully visible it will be fine
