  1. Its still available if you want it
  2. I am not a great fan of the handbrake covers, gaiter and knob are a thought though.
  3. You will probably struggle to get a jdm exhaust without a large tip (pnar pnar), its probably 3" exhaust anyway i guess?
  4. Well that took longer than expected for many reasons, anyway, interior refresh mostly done: Jack Royal wheel Alcantara wrapped dash Centre consul sprayed black with gold pearl Android head unit and a little bit of analness, i got some brushed black aluminium wrap and did the triple gauge silver aluminium trims (very fiddly), gear lever surround and seeing as i had so much left over, the strut cover. I will also do the steering wheel control aluminium covers and speedo/rev counter surround and have an alcantara gaiter to match the steering wheel on route and wrap A pillar plastics.
  5. I think they look a bit Gtr ish from the side, similar lines but better, which is a sad thing to say A tt is a tt, she could sell it buy another in 5 years and it would still look exactly the same as her current one, you cant say that about yours. The answer is simple: Get her to write down exactly what hers costs a month to run, fuel, tax, insurance AND finance and you write down yours, the figure at the end of hers will undeniably be more than yours and it cannot be argued.
  6. Yes, the description boils my ****: Fully polished and ported for maximum performance Increases torque and horse power over the entire RPM range Increase your spool up speed and improve your throttle response Guaranteed BHP improvement To be fair it probably wont last a million years but at that price, just be conscious that it might need a little tweak when fitting.
  7. I would say thats bang on average mileage for a car just over ten years old Too many people get hung up on mileage, it is no indication of condition, buy the best car for your budget
  8. Yeah but there's always the hope that something will get heated for entertainment value, unfortunately it's all stayed rather tame. The people on their moral high ground havent got to excited for some reason this time Probably because the op isnt claiming entrapment and what bar stewards etc, just i got busted, my fault, can someone point me in the right direction to defend my case in the best way possible. You also never know what a lawyer may turn up, a local businessman has just got away with 74 separate offences surrounding bankruptcy, fraud, non disclosure of assets etc all because a lawyer found something that shouldnt have been there.
  9. How so, looks? Tbh there's not many cars I look at and think I love that, even the Zed. Often have to see them at certain angles to appreciate them more. I didn't even want a white one but it's growing on me. I am a 32 fanboi, lol, so for me the 33 looks a bit of a lardy round mess But i am never going to argue with a man who owns a gtr v spec
  10. Not a fan of the 33, but its the adult version so
  11. Absolutely, trouble is its very easy to point a camera at someone and say, you were doing x in an x speed limit, but could a police officer take say an old dear to court for dangerous driving when they are doing 20? I witnessed a classic the other day when at a job, was outside a house and an older lady pulled up and attempted a 3 (probably 7) point turn and smacked into a tree, she briefly looked as she joined her friend to go walk their dogs, just happened to be looking out the window when they returned. She took a longer look at the damage, proceeded to get into the car tried the same 7 point turn and guess what, hit the very same tree........
  12. I am not going to fall out buddy, but this hysteria of speed and death is just fantasy. Sure if there is an eventuality of some mechanical failure its not going to be pretty, but to be fair as you mention tracks, if you have driven some of the old circuits in this country and i am not talking Silverstone with acres of run off and gravel ala F1, say Castle Combe or Thruxton if something goes wrong in the braking area or straights beside pit wall for example your going to have an equally unhappy ending (unless the mistress of luck is on your side and its pulls you to the infield, perhaps more so because you are giving your car a proper hard time lap after lap, far more chance for something to decide to give up. The only difference is, one is legal and the other isnt, so people get a bit excited and start claiming "lucky to be alive". If you think about every eventuality are you not equally lucky to be alive because the op wasnt coming in the opposite direction and had "mechanical failure"?
  13. What a load of utter tosh. Whilst it is completely irresponsible and i have no sympathy, being alive and driving at speed has absolutely no relation.
  14. Would that include a Jack Royal wheel or you looking for something specific like Nardi, Momo etc?
  15. Read in an eastern european accent and all will become clear, haha ) by checking the name on the invoice. I would also want to make sure that part number is a Nissan fitment.

    There is the above of course and fully appreciate the back up from UK dealers like yourself, but they are warranted for a year so you takes your chances but at near half the price of anything else, it could well be worth the "possible" hassle.

    I have no doubt a set of Meisters will be better build quality than the above, but, these would have to be pretty shockingly valved/sprung/fluid to turn out to give a worse ride than a non adjustable oem shock imo. I am firm believer in you get what you pay for when it comes to items quality and its no different to these, reading around though on peoples experiences they seem pretty impressed with their performance, i just doubt they will give you the long term build quality and after sales you get with other more well know brands. If someone is looking for something at a price point and not too fussed about life span, serious track work, these offer an alternative solution imho.

    If your not into tracks etc, you probably cant go far wrong with these, having a read about on the net people seem pretty happy with them on places like lancer registry etc http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Coilover-Shock-Absorber-Full-Kit-For-Nissan-Fairlady-Z-350Z-Z33-Infiniti-G35-/161878556062?hash=item25b0b6bd9e:g:M0EAAOSwQoFWOb33

    Not even close to fitting without spending ££££££££££££ on arch mods or wide ass kits Nice though To be fair you would even struggle to get the gtr-d's i linked to fit as someone on here found out (cant remember his name though), they would stick out an inch further than my 11's and i am on the absolute limit without running silly camber
