  1. I did have them refurbished, but I was never tempted to change the rims on the Zed. Lightweight, strong, gorgeous and actual RAYS - what's not to like! Turbo twists are sexy AF too.

  3. Sorry this took a while to approve, I didn't see a notification for it. Thanks for sharing it
  4. Obvs hard to be certain from a vid but this is not dissimilar to the sound mine made for banana bar. Upon inspection with a pry bar, I was also advised everything was ok, but that a pry can’t always simulate the weight and movement of a heavy car on that kind of surface. I changed them because I knew they would need doing eventually and it cured it. If you can budget for them now and the drop links are definitely fine, I’d just do them.
  5. Plastic???? Think of the whales!
  6. https://twitter.com/LesDennis/status/1365774052384768009?s=20 Helluva scoop this.
  7. Got lost on the way to the supermarket, had to stop to read a map and took some photos by accident whilst I was looking. Some are ok for pocket dials.
  8. Might be a long shot in these sizes on here but worth a go. For sale two P Zeros which came off my car when I switched to Michelin rubber. 6mm tread all round, in perfect nick, no repairs or damage. Porsche N rated - so you know they're extra good. £100 collected in Sheffield or the same plus what it costs me to get paisley freight to ship them to you.
  9. This is all very peculiar, you parcel arrives, then mine does, you wash some boxes, then I wash a box. I used tested Dirt Magic today on my Fat Max mega detailing wheely box thing. Not been washed in at least 5 years. Just liberally covered, agitate with wheel brush, rinse. Did a really good job (used as it comes from the bottle). I might use some diluted stuff somewhere near the car next. After.
  10. I wish I could grab my 18 year old self and have this conversation.
  11. I think this idea that we should be scared that big companies will run off if we tax them hard is fantasy. It sounds reasonable for a person, but, it’s deeply flawed for a business. As we’ve seen from the botched Facebook tantrum in Australia, they might have a strop, but so long as they can still be profitable they’ll never leave - certainly not the wealthiest countries. It’s terrible business to walk away from profit because you’ve got hurt feelings. We allow them access to the market, in return for our benefit, they don’t allow us access to their products for anything other than profit. I’m certainly not for retrospective penalties but they’re not required, legislation could shut down moving money off shore in a heartbeat, but then that’s not why they pay their “donations”.
  12. As a Labour die hard, I’d like nothing more than a wealth tax. Not for people who’ve worked hard all their life but for people who’ve done nothing all their life and inherited a fortune, and for organisations that use IP to siphon funds to the tax havens the Tories & HMRC facilitate.
  13. Didn't he do well Ladies & Gents! Mine arrived just now. A lot of very colourful product too, which is always 'interesting'. 1x APC - £8.99 1x Waterless Wash (yuck) - £9.50 1x Spritz Hydropel (QD?) - £14.99 1x Wheel Cleaner - £12.50 1x Tyre Dressing - £9.99 1x Tyre & Trim Dressing - £12.50 £68.47 worth of product, between £46 and £60 of 'useful' product depending on how many years it is before I get through my stock of tyre dressing and then two these new arrivals. Reasonable returns for a £21 gamble.
  14. As soon as HMRC figure out they’re going to miss out on the £40 billion a year they currently enjoy from dinosaur juice motorists, I’m sure a “charging” tax or other such scheme (including the magical unicorn cars) will be along shortly to fill the hole.
  15. I too am late to this party. My plan is I’m gonna buy a cool ICE car and then sell it to a hipster post 2030 for 10 times its value when electric cars have made everyone fall asleep. It’s basically fool proof. Plan B is to get a second place on the go and clear two mortgages by retirement age and then move to somewhere hot with a weak currency.
  16. One was a government budget, the other was an opportunity to move funds from the state to neighbours and former school chums.
  17. You can still post up in here, so long as your ad meets the rules at the top of the forum. https://www.350z-uk.com/forum/213-350z-parts-for-sale/ Sorry about the tractor.
  18. That’s weird, I thought you just got a lower rev limit with the valet key, to curb valet Parker enthusiasm?
  19. If the pedal dance is giving you lights you can’t read, get a cheap code reader and plug it in. I’d get one with a cable a cut out the phone Bluetooth/Wi-Fi and get it read. For £20 it’ll be useful for ages. All you have to be careful of is that it’s different reader for jap imports.
  20. Looks like no. 34, no? For that money, I’d take an any number 370 Nismo in red.
  21. Let's see what it looks like, comes with and costs.
  22. Took mine out for a little run on Friday to top up the battery, it’s still so much fun. I don’t think I can sell it unless a totally new project catches my eye (V8 VIP build. Volvo 850R. I also want to modify a Cube too!). Despite not having the actual speed of the Cayman, it feels so much faster because of the noise and the way it moves & steers and you feel every bit of tarmac. I’ll defo be keeping an eye on these when they drop to importable money, that bit of extra displacement is the sweet spot.
  23. Not lost interest mate, just can’t add anything other than admiration!!
