  1. im not following? *I'm Seriously though, a professional website really shouldn't be making errors like that. Hoonigan don't, or if they do it's dressed up as a phrase on purpose (the awful 'Ain't care' springs to mind). This is bugging me now Where are you getting the original quote from and what website are you going on about? Relax, here you go: http://www.jimmyup.com/about-us
  2. Who is this Jimm Yup guy anyway?
  3. Have you tried the Nanolex Pre-Wash Concentrate from the waxybox branded box yet? I can't figure out what is from the description. The first half says, "high foaming alkaline pre-cleaner" which I think means a sort half way between snow foam and citrus pre-wash. Then it says later on that it is, "highly suitable for removal of wax, polish residue and silicones". Will it strip protection if used as a pre-wash, in a lance, like a snow foam? I don't want all-in-one-does-50-jobs-and-last-for-19-years-protection-including-nuclear-armageddon products. I just want ones that do one job really well!!!!! It's a sign o' t' times I tell thee.
  4. There's a thread on cleaning the motors somewhere but this is also worth a look. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/72351-has-anyone-fitted-a-mishimoto-nissan-350z-aluminium-fan-shroud-kit/ Edit: here's some stuff http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/69810-how-to-repairfix-your-cooling-fan-motors-youtube-vid/ http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/88321-carried-out-a-rad-fan-motor-fix-today-small-how-too/
  5. Longer introduction messages go down better
  6. All mods improve fuel economy, safety and increase the car's value, up to 25% more when in discussions with other halves
  7. Just be gentle to start with, you can always go harder (ooo err) or do a test spot if you're worried.
  8. Any decent APC should shift it, a soft toothbrush might be a good thing to get in there (don't put it back next to your sink though ) If it's been neglected (which it sounds like it) I'd suggest that once you have cleaned, rinsed and dried it, try some gummi pfledge to look after it. http://www.micksgarage.com/proddetails.aspx?pid=1584628
  9. No carpet in the garage? Is the carchem pre-wax cleanser a straight replacement for werkstat prime? Which appears to have disappeared (just after you got me hooked on it ). Does it muster any cut at all? http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/blog/2014/11/introducing-the-carlack-range/
  10. NIR Polarised Lenses - FIT - they are on my Xmas list, good for 15 bhp too http://www.dillonoptics.com/shop/metal-frames/greasewood/silver-nir-lens/greasewood-ss-s.html This dillon optics seem to sponsor The Smoking Tyre, which probably explains where Larry got his and that they were probably free.

  11. I'll never complain about the size of anything I detail ever again*. A few things about this jump out at me; First and foremost; his matte silver lenses are f***ing awesome. I want some! I don't understand why, a) They were working out in the sun, surely a hanger would be better... surely?! 2) Why detail it before painting bits? This goes against everything I know about detailing more than reaching for the microfibre cutting pads before anything else. c) How any of them could possibly face turning up to day 3. Impressive job, I certainly don't envy any one of them doing it though. Was a good video too, I enjoyed that. *This is a lie. A barefaced, unashamed, complete, utter and total lie. I also listen to the AMMO podcasts and they did one on this recently. The reason they detailed it before painting is quite simple. The museum had planned to paint it, so the curators told them there was no point detailing it as it needed fresh paint. They (detailers) asked if they could do it anyway, so as the museum planned to paint it, there was nothing to lose. When they finished I believe the museum put the paint job on hold as they were so impressed by the result Love the small section (I think it was Kevin Brown) was doing, a little 2x2 but you could see the oxidisation coming off in literally one pass and looking a fantastic baby blue underneath. I think they did it outside as most of the the museum is outside and the hangars are full of dozens of planes. It must have been mentally hot out there! I'd have been indoors washing pads I need something that big to learn on!!!!
  12. Worth a little look. There's nothing revolutionary, but it is a fairly fascinating (I think!) if you like this sort of thing, plus the world's biggest 50/50 shot. http://youtu.be/-SwWoTYJp9A
  13. PMSL, reminds me of every single Latin class I went to! Yet surely, Centurion: Except that "DOMUS" takes the ...? Brian: ...the locative, sir! Shoud be vocative, not locative?
  14. Azure is the most beautiful Z colour, don't hide it, give it a wash!
  15. Selling rocket covers to the Russians now Wasso???? Paying for a V8 can make you do some questionable things
  16. Resprayed bumper two weeks ago Spotted my first fresh stone chip yesterday It's one of those things, stick a tenner away each month for a periodic respray. As above, I've tried driving well back but it makes no odds, they just happen. It's the two on my passenger door that are irritating!!!
  17. Nice work. I bet it'll be bags of fun. I want to do this so much!
  18. The coolant sensor one is a bit weird if you've only changed the exhaust isn' it? There's a list of codes here if you want to double check: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/81962-350z-fault-codes-in-pdf/
  19. thats up there with the fantasy that a bloke spotting a pair of of Lesbos going at it is going to happily join in Sounds perfectly plausible
  20. He must have been hauling ass. Has a jump or other car been photoshopped out of these pics
  21. Nice write up. I hope Infiniti stays a bit uner the radar as I really fancy one as a daily, but they'd lose some desireability for me if they started popping up everywhere. It's the new SAAB
