  1. Car is really looking great but the ankle...arghhhh
  2. I'll have a look - did you post up any pics ?
  3. Shut it Not hanging there but if it can affect the lines under heavy braking then obviously I don't want to leave it like that. (I agree it shouldn't do though)
  4. It has braided lines mate (Hosetechnik) It's just one of those jobs I've not gotten around to sorting out, so thought I'd check in first.
  5. Cheers for the tips, it was done by hand, not with the impact ! I prefer the impact due to the nature of what it's doing, sure for tightening I may start a long threaded bolt with it but always finish using the torque wrench. I do have one of those 'easy out' extractor kits which I've used with success before, of course I just don't want to f-up the aluminium
  6. Something different... stock Yep, I'll be replacing some rusty bolts soon. I'm not into bling or colourful bits and bobs but I am tempted by doing an 'engine tuck' (hidden wiring) that I've seen.
  7. This looks like a bit of preload to me on the ARB: Check out the leaky diff bushing I tried to get a photo of the front ones but it was a bit tricky.
  8. I managed to break this bolt last year when I was trying to un-do it. Half a turn and it broke (so this is why I use Plusgas and the impact wrench when possible - as well as using the correct torque specs now) Of course I don't want to be messing around with this, to end up making it worse. Any thoughts as to what I could try ? (yes it needs a clean ) (hopefully the guy that is taking a look at my crushed brake pipe flare will be able to help)
  9. I didn't bleed any, just covered the ends. (only passenger side)
  10. Shouldn't decent oil ensure that various bits n bobs remain coated, thus reducing any potential wear ?
  11. I wouldn't bother calling them Brad.
  12. Probably a dry or worn out bushing - inspect them and get your LUBE ready
  13. What brake set up have you gone for, as it sounded like you changed your mind over the PMU pads ?
  14. you're welcome I don't think many over here (uk) know about it, certainly sounds like a decent product to me but I've not encountered any odd clutch feelings before. Keep us up-to-date
  15. Might be worth looking into this: http://www.rjmperformance.com/350z--g35-afp-clutch-pedal-kits.html Plenty of positive reviews and not expensive either !
  16. Heh I was looking at titanium bolts as well, fed up of these nissan chocolate ones
  17. If you're popping new pads on it would be wise to have the discs skimmed properly. Also probably a good idea to say what sort of price you're willing to pay for now ?
  18. I've got a similar sound coming from the front offside, I'll be inspecting it on Saturday. Annoying isn't it !
  19. If they are Brembo's, Sly from Kaizer Motors recommended the Brembo pads
  20. Hehe I understand. If you were down my way I'd help out, it's easy to do, just takes time.
  21. I have a Cobra, it doesn't look like that as there are more connecting/join points on my one at least. Also this looks like 2.5" which is smaller than the Cobra.
  22. Yeah more than enough. As long as you don't go mad, 1ltr should be plenty. (useful just to have a bit extra I guess)
  23. I had issues in the past with: 1-2 6-5 Improvements I made: Nissan gearbox oil Transmission mount (I opted for a polyurethane one - too harsh probably for a daily driver, Hardrace make a decent rubber one). The OEM one is crap (imho), gives changes sloppy feeling and grinding slightly in my case. Note - it may transmit a bit of extra vibration into the cabin, my one does but it's a different material, best to look up some reviews of this. No problems now that it's out. OEM = pap Hardrace rubber one - for example:
  24. 1ltr would do you in whatever you pick, you may as well use the same (1.5ltr to be safe or full flush). It'll be about £15, opieoils - can use our discount code too. I'm not ever going to bother with Motul RBF600 again as it's meant to be done every 6 months (or after a couple of track days), it's too expensive for my needs.
  25. I've no idea, could just be a custom Powerflow thing, try cleaning up the backbox to see if there's a branded name on it (could be on top though).
