  1. Looks great, much better than the plastics. Nice touch.
  2. Thanks mate, one or two jobs left to do and I'll be done
  3. I ordered two of these in error, fitted mine tonight in about 10 minutes (and I'm far from competent with a screwdriver). Good for at least 20bhp* and you can legitimately plaster NISMO decals and badges all over your Zed after fitting one Helpful installation guide here: http://www.350z-uk.c...elerator-pedal/ It's still in it's wrapper so the pics are of the one I fitted tonight, yours is sealed up as per the second pic. NB - retain your the little rubber bush as per the guide - not supplied in this pack. £45 including cheapest postage, or upgrade the postage at your cost. NB - iPad not included * no dyno runs undertaken to prove gains, may not result in more BHP
  4. I purchased this from a fellow member and she's done a few thousand miles with me, but in good nick. Bought purely to enhance my red themed engine bay and removed due to arrival of a CF intake tube. It could do with a wipe down with a silicone cleaning cloth but I've ran out and don't want to apply anything else to it. Bit of info here: http://www.amber-per....php?xProd=8076 Yours for just £35 including the cheapest possible P&P - will upgrade shipping if you bear the cost. This mark is on the underside when fitted I would have chucked in the hose clips but they were a bit dull, so treat yourself to some shiny ones to set it off
  5. Thank you Asad for speedy shipping and comprehensive installation guide for these, very pleased
  6. Some cheeky mid-week-mod-action tonight. First off, the rather dapper Asad vent trims. They break up the acres of plastic nicely and I think they look sweet as.. Probably the longest mod ever, ordered this many moons ago in a shopping spree Stateside - finally back in stock Excuse the state of my footwell, it looks worse on camera. A very pleasing 15 minutes modding
  7. I don't like to endorse faddy things but I think there's something to be said for this ice bucket lark...
  8. They're a fabulous looking wheel, very nice looking Zed you've got there.
  9. However careful you are, you will mark the paint if you keep her clean, it's curse of the detailer The best you can hope to do is keep any marking to a minimum and keep protection topped up. Replacing mitts and microfibres like GM says will help, also don't forget to wash your mitts after use. If you fancy trying something new, maybe consider a drying aid, it'll keep the friction as low as possible during the drying phase. I've just run out of AMMO Hydrate, which I didn't like at first but I've really come around too after a few uses.
  10. MEV Exocet http://www.mevltd.co.uk/exocet_gallery.htm You get to build it too
  11. How do you guys do it? I can't stand things which aren't symmetrical Nice update. It's about time you nominated the BEST one.
  12. The robots just grow it all, for everyone. It'll be like Star Trek, team humanity.
  13. If robots can do every job, why do we need an economy or money? Can't we just all enjoy living whilst they crack on with the graft? Coming Spring 2040, Spouse Robot 1.0!!!!!! Does all requested tasks without question or second guessing. Never says I told you so. Never nags. Never argues. Satisfies any "personal" request without complaint and with lifelike tongue/skin. Could drive your car, if we hadn't done away with that in 2033!!!!
  14. This presupposes that everyone will be mandated to have one. I kinda assumed they'd be optional for people who want to drive themselves?
  15. I'd love it if there's a team of geeks churning out a use case for every single conceivable road related event: Scenario 1 - Pedestrian forgets to look before crossing Scenario 2 - Car in front slams all on . Scenario 44,765 - A tree is struck by lightning and falls across the road . . Scenario 8,125,245 - An extreme sports enthusiast is zorbing on the hillside next to the road and at the bottom of the slope there's a trade show for giant trampolines... I'm quite excited by the prospect of driverless cars, it'll remove people who have absoletly no interest in driving from driving and the new driver won't get distracted by a girl in a tight dress, or a particularly cute cat, or a billboard advertising a sale at ShopX, or get tired or bored, or re-apply eye liner, or urgently need to tweet that it just saw that-guy-from-that-thing-on-the-TV-last-year walking down the street The google driverless cars (I think there's about ten of them on the roads of California at any one point) have done over 700,000 miles accident free. They can "see" in 360 degrees and track hundreds of objects all at once. Sadly it is reported to be extremely capable at spotting cyclists too
  16. Love an update on this thread, kudos for the attention to detail.
  17. It used to be evolution picked off the lame, old and weak. Nature has found a new way. Convincing idiots they need to be connected 24/7 and then finding novel ways to distract them while driving. It'll keep some runts out the gene pool. Just hope you're not in front or oncoming
  18. They look the shizzle, but at two hundred sheets I've got a stone chipped bumper which would appreciate the cash even more. Not to mention a humpy bonnet fetish
  19. Continuing my de-redding and carboning-up of some parts of the engine bay, samco intake went and in came evo-r intake tube. Before: After: That's the last of the carbon and also probably changes in the engine bay, unless a nice catch can comes along...
  20. I think it looks ok? The new intake tube was maybe 1cm shorter than the previous, so it was bit of stretch at the top for the silicone coupler to be tight on the throttle body and the tube, but I think it's got there in the end. Not quite the 15 minutes I was lead to believe If anything looks weird or wrong, please do shout now, I need to drive her tomorrow! Thanks for your comments
  21. Stuck the GoPro underneath to see if anything could be seen or heard. You can hear the almost continuous rattle - it's driving me nuts. Definitely somewhere underneath or around the area between the passenger seat and the engine. Any answers on the non-rattle related oily bit appreciated too
