  1. Why is it rare?? Most of the mods on it are cheap to do (carbon wrapped stuff, sprayed standard alloys etc).... so i'd say overpriced. Its also looks like a jap import (rear bumper, no headlight washers), and a non gt car by the look of it (no rear spoiler). But, he is open to offers....so you never know. But 8K??
  2. Check none of the hoses are kinked when you where refitting them. Does sound like a leak though.

    Cheap Bridgestones

    150 quid at camskills each and if you buy two...they give you 20 quid back as a petrol voucher. Will only cost you a tenner per whell to change tyres over. Not saving you much...but still a saving.

    Front lip woes.

    Are you going to let us know where you got it from....save others stepping into the same hole. Good luck, as others have said, probably easier to add more fibreglass......but try the heat first. You have nothing to lose.
  5. The "yoof" of today have no respect....its not just Zs they target.....anything thats shiny will do. As for others....just ignore them and go for a drive.
  6. Wife has the Pathfinder....is like a tonka toy next to the F150. The new V6 Navara is meant to be good.....only thing lacking in the old Navara/Pathfinder was a bit more grunt. Let us know how you get on.
  7. They do sound great...and if your human sized then you can get away with driving one. Mind you, you'll need a chequered work shirt. Seriously, the guy who owns one rates it a lot....drive it more than his Mustang. The only prob he has is the shear size of the bugger....not exactly a city car. Its just my mate could pass for a Leprechaun, or as an extra help for Charlie n the Coco Factory.....so hence the **** take.
  8. No dont go there. My mate has one and the **** taking takes on a new meaning when he enters the room...that and the 9mpg!!!! He also has a 'STANG......and is 5 ft f**k all......the word substitute pops up many times during his slaggings.
  9. How did you attach it (screws / tape etc).
  10. Either Navara or Hilux......stay clear of Warrior. Underpowered and outdated.

    Which 4x4

    my wife traded from old shogun, to the 3.2 did and now onto a Pathfinder. The Pathfinders are good, and if you are doubling it up as a family wagon, very good. More car like than the Shoguns were. 7k might get you a high miler.....else a twin cab Navara....
  12. If you are not fussed on performance, why spend the extra cash on Uprev, HFCs and plenum? just buy a good quality exhaust, and fit a air filter yourself. Obviously the Uprev will give you more performance wise, but think its more the drivability that you'll notice. Milltek is very quiet...hence why I'm going to try decats. If the sound is fine (not too loud..LOL), may look at HFCs. But as you mentioned, they aren't cheap so want to be certain first - hence the decats.
  13. Maybe I was seeing things ... but didn't you have the facelifts listed as 130 plus postage on ebay?? Noticed now its 170?
  14. Cuba?? You want to head to Venezeula......less than 10p a ltr. Subsidized by the goverment for the people because they have a shed load of crude oil. Wait the now.....so DID the North sea! Thats why our prices are so high then. The goverment dont care on base line....as the higher the base is, the more they get back on tax. Simples. And if they do fine the oil majors....who gets the proceeds of the fine? And how will the oil majors respond? Put the prices up to cover the fines. Who ends up paying more? The consumer. What to do? I nearly went to Venezuela when I was in Colombia, the gringos coming out there though were saying its a bit dodge for tourists. I got the fear and chickened out. It's on my radar though :-) If you do go be careful.....esp at night. Some areas can be like the wildwest. Also change your dollars when you get there. A massive difference on the black market!!!! or so I was led to believe .

  16. BP and Shell.....price fixing on fuel for the last 10 years. Who would have thought it?? And the goverment didn't know? More like they didn't care. The higher the fuel price - the greater the tax generated. do you think they'll give us a rebate??? wish I'd get ll those receipts.
  17. 6K should get you an early UK car - in good nick, with Brembos / manual. I've not had mine long - but normal driving I'm getting around 26mpg. You'll get 30mpg on longer trips. And the blue is faster so is worth more.....but maybe I am biased.
  18. I think it looks very good....sets it off a treat. Is your car lowered? And if so what springs? Stance is spot on . Roadsters without spoilers looks a bit "fat" in the ass end - especially with lighter colours. How did you attach it (screws / tape etc). I have below just waiting on paint and fitting. Obviously remove the paper first!
  19. In the same boat as you , mate. Hanging off for RT Mines one.....if they ever appear. but if nowt soon may be tempted with this lip with the sidesteps.
  20. Now you mention it my nismo sticker felt like it gave me at least 28 bhp. Good for you but reducing unsprung weight makes a massive difference to the way the car drives. If you really think adding spacers affects acceleration then you are away with the fairies. Must be away with the fairies then.....because it will. Very unlikely you'd notice on a car...but defo effect performance. (larger mass to rotate).
  21. You must have a very nice council? I mangled a forged Ducati front wheel in a pothole. Was told unless they knew about pothole....then you cant claim. Was tempted to go back with the wifes car, sledge hammer the rim...just to claim. But then the red mist cleared. Good to here you got sorted though
  22. Heavier weight at each hub will effect performance.....but whether you'd notice it? Assume all done up tight, after a light drive, feel the wheel. Is it hot, maybe brakes binding ??
  23. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-350Z-3-5-V6-MANUAL-GENUINE-PEARL-WHITE-55-PLATE-56k-STUNNING-EXAMPLE-/171038495042?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item27d2b05142 While trawling, found this. Expensive for an import BUT....nice seats.
