Jetpilot

And here in is the issue, have a look through history, whites were used as slaves (and the above) long before the "black man", but for some reason some want to cling onto it!!

Nothing exciting, have always been Jetpilot if i can be, not because i fly jets, but it was a brand associated with Jet skis

There is a reason Ukips popularity is growing quickly and its certainly not because people actually believe Nigel Farage will make a good pm and i guess that says it all.

An unprovoked attack on a white guy from an ethnic minority, surely thats not racist? But had roles been reversed, surely it is racist? Or so it would seem these days........

Quite an interesting topic, cant quite believe modern day oils would not need changing after 6 months, unless of course the car was thrashed within an inch of its life on a daily basis, but a quick oil and filter change would be relatively cheap, so why wouldnt you.

Thanks Alex, what would i expect to get from those, 12500 miles Yes, if you are not tracking it. I have done 3000 miles in 18 months with a new R35 and 2000 will have been track miles. I am just about to put on my 5th set of tyres. On my 6th set of pads and 2nd set of rotors. Done 10 engine oil and filter changes and 5 tranny fluid changes and 2 diff. Alex. So a set of tyres and pads is effectively returning 500 miles give or take with track use, thats obscene! Any reason why, weight?

Modding costs? Is that the usual Stubby and spacers? As all the UK GTR's look exactly the same. Because it has a decent value, i could justify a set of Nessens for it

Thanks Alex, what would i expect to get from those, 12500 miles

I can get rid of 100 quid in fuel in the 370z easy I'm convincing myself here that a gtr wouldnot be to bad lol Not worried about fuel, my tuned rx7 was returning an average of 9 mpg.

Modding costs is par for the course imho Thanks for you help Alex, could you just shoot out some rough costs, i.e tyres, pads, discs from x to x etc,

I will want to do a few track days, it would seem this bumps up costs massively.

I have been doing a fair bit of reading on GTR running costs and as usual with the web, there are very much conflicting stories and most of them are from a few years ago: But basically, tyres, discs and pads are all a common theme. Presuming as time has moved on more companies are offering alternatives to oem Nissan parts and have already checked out Litchfelds service prices, what options are out there in terms of cost for, tyres and brakes and how many miles would you expect to get from both with general driving and the odd trackday?

why? What's frightening about a Russian pharmaceutical billionaire? I wonder if thats "prescription" drugs Did anyone see have i got news for you last night, by all accounts our gdp has been worked out to include prostitution and drug revenue, around 5 billion on each

If you trust him you will love it, if you dont, stay well away

Not watch it but after previous attempts of making the jump across the pond of US derived shows i am not sure i would, need i remind anyone at the UK's efforts at Pimp my ride take off I like the US storage hunters but team Brando do my head in, especially when the wife comments on someones weight, maybe she might find a mirror in one of her containers one day, lol

How long before the gov step in and increase duty to compensate for the loss of revenue from it being cheap at the pumps!!

Not in any form of defence as i have never used them but Super 7 Autos does hold high regard within the rotary community. However, the bill does seem highly excessive to say the least, maybe there is something else to the situation we are not aware of as cant see anyone thinking those prices are acceptable.

I hate to say it, but really not sure a 350 is a good place to start because of the weight and expensive service items, tyres, brake discs and pads, spares arent going to be cheap if your prang it etc Especially a nice Zed like yours, buy a cat c or d and strip it within an inch of its life imho

I was always under the impression it was a timed thing, not beating the guy on the track, i.e best lap time? I am not sure i would want to go racing without a cage and harness's however!

Yes, I have pulled a couple of items, maf being one and threw a cel and appropriate code straight away.

I would imagine its highly addictive and will then become incredibly costly as you strive to make your car better or to give you a shot at winning, i cant imagine you would feel satisfied with coming 2, 3, 6th or whatever if your competitive and you then enter the world of motorsport i.e money. I didnt think you actually raced against people though, isnt it timed laps?

I would say yes, for adhesion and finish.

Personally dont think its a good look on a pretty much std ish car.

Thanks for the link, i really dont think its coils as in essence its as smooth as, no misfire, no hesitation, just flat, like its stuffed full of cotton wool and cant breathe, when it does occasionally work it runs the same, but feels crisp and responsive, as much as 1.5 can be

This was my next input, no familiar with these engines in particular, but how is the timing controlled via the coil packs, surly the ECU timing map does this? I was going to suggest a coil pack breaking down under load, although it should result in a misfire, I would still test or substitute cam and crank angle sensors as this could have a big impact, and effect the function of the VVTI system. Ok thanks, going to try and source an ecu from a breaker just to eliminate that, wont hurt to have a spare. Then move onto your suggestion and start eliminating sensors, if its none of these, guess its the vvti itself and sadly the most costly, it may just be gummed up as by all accounts this can happen and restrict the movement. Problem is i cant even get any live data as its just too old to test.
