Jays are for sale, i linked them on post 17 of this thread

Few sets here http://www.jdmdistro.com/product-category/wheels/18-wheels/?cnpf=1&attro_condition=185&cnep=1

My brother in law is like this, but if the shoe is on the other foot and you tell him how it is in the same fashion, he goes into meltdown, if you speak to people in a certain fashion, expect the same back. I am with everyone else, dont breach the subject unless she wants to discuss it, if she does, just ask her if she would like to be spoken to in the same fashion, guess you wont change her and sounds like you like that no nonsense approach, lets face it, if you disagree with her its the dog house for you

The only places you will get to see alloys is the general tat halfrauds or motabitz sell, most people tend to trade on line these days, unless your lucky and a tuning house near has some but generally its too expensive to carry stock and cant help with any in that area. This thread below has loads of images or search google, unless there is particular reason you want to see them in the flesh http://www.350z-uk.c...ite-zed-wheels/

I thought a sensor but no way of checking codes as its an import, thanks dude!

No dude.

Need a little help guys, my daily is playing up, basically underneath its a Yaris 1.5 VVTI Auto. On pulling away and low speed it is really sluggish (yes i know its a 1.5 ) and hesitates a lot, if you put your foot to the floor it takes a while to build up but then seems fine, but at part throttle its horrible, even if you add extra throttle it still seems to do nothing, you have to put your foot to the floor for it to want to rev. I have changed plugs and maf sensor with no joy, old plugs seem clean I.e not oiled up etc Air filter is good etc Any ideas??

A V8 in any Fd is a crime, to do it to this one its positively sacrilege Far too nice an example to be butchering I can vouch this is a very well known an respected Fd in excellent condition and meticulously modified with quality parts, i know Guy and the previous owner

Hopefully i am not teaching you to suck eggs, but they are not chrome, they are polished ally, in some cases they will come bare which is a headache to look after but looks awesome and in most cases on cheaper wheels they will come lacquered which dulls the shine of polished ally but makes cleaning a lot easier. The other problem with lacquer is if you get a little chip the water gradually creeps under and you get the white worm effect like Jetset pictured. Jays solution is probably the best of both worlds, shiney and maintenance free. Although there are other methods, clear anodising works well and for my next set i am going to try a clear protective wrap to see what that looks like

Apologies, dont get onto the other sections much

Pretty cool http://jalopnik.com/nissans-new-le-mans-engine-has-400-hp-and-can-fit-in-y-1509734976?utm_campaign=socialflow_jalopnik_facebook&utm_source=jalopnik_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow

http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/79656-all-encompassing-wheel-size-offset-thread/ Plenty of advise with sizes and options here:

If its a gold like the Volks (a sort of white gold) yes, but if its the jewish racing gold you get on some other wheels, no Anthracite works well, black is done to death and for me white looks a bit rally car ish. How about this: House of Kolour Copper Penny Pearl

£1500 + refurb + 4 tyres = a whole lot more that £1250. Where is the kerbing on mine, they are immaculate freshly refurbed Apologies the link were Marzmans, which sold. Jays below which are also mint: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/63050-my-midnight-purple-volk-gt-s/

Jay is selling his: http://www.350z-uk.c...oys-with-tyres/ and mine will be up shortly for the same money, can be seen in the first couple of posts on this thread: http://www.350z-uk.c...-offset-thread/

I guess i will sing the same old tune, if you have a budget of £1275 or near that, why dont you buy a 2nd hand set of something decent, Volks, Weds, Work, SSR, BBS, Enkeis etc etc, they will be better made, lighter (on the most part) and will still be worth good money if you ever decide to sell them. All of the above do similar styles to the wheels you linked

Seeing this video on social media now, seems its doing the rounds, the surprising thing, the vast majority were supporting the car driver and saying the cyclist got what he deserved. I didnt expect that reaction off a non motoring based spectrum.

I can't believe this old chestnut still gets trotted out in 2014. Probably more relevant these days with the amount its costs to be on the road

You can discuss the rights and wrongs of the characters in that video but personally i think the cyclist got let off lightly for his outburst, problem with that video is they both were as arrogant as each other! I guess as i mentioned earlier it can be pretty unnerving being on a bike. I felt pretty vulnerable during my motorbike days and took exception if someone didnt respect my safety. Some drivers driving simply had to be seen to be believed, positively scary, so can understand some cyclists reactions, but it does seem a percentage actively seek out a reason to kick off and be obstructive to drivers simply because they are in a car. I think in everything i have done there have been conflicts, horse riders hated mountain bikers, fishermen hated surfers, surfers hated jet skis, yachties hated motorboats and it goes on. I have no idea why some people seem to feel their chosen activity gives them some god given cause to object to any alternate activity. Just get on and enjoy what your doing and forget about everyone else, i am sure some people wouldnt feel normal if they werent complaining about something or other. Sorry to say though, i really dont think the roads are any place for bikes these days and if your going to get your lycra on and "get fit" you have to accept your the minority, you dont pay anything to use them and more so, massively vulnerable.
