  1. At the weekend I went drifting in Holland, awesome fun! At the weekend I blew my clutch up... not so much fun! Can anyone internet diagnose with me and help me work out what could potentially be broken? I was accelerating, went to change gear and nothing happened, as in, put the gear stick into 4th let the clutch out, put my foot on the accelerator and the revs went up and nothing else happened. I can start the car "in gear" without the clutch in and it doesn't lurch forwards, it just STINKS of clutch. Still got plenty of clutch fluid too so it's not a loss of that. All of the shafts are intact and the diff feels fine, so I'd guess it's either the gearbox or the clutch, pretty sure it's the clutch though, just depends on what else I've ruined. Can anyone help? I know I haven't provided a lot of info, but it's all I have Before she died shot below to try and feel a bit better about it
  2. Bossdog in Dorking, Surrey. They did my car last week and were amazing, can't recommend them enough!
  3. Unless you want to do burnouts it doesn't cause an issue
  4. Sorry didn't upload them before, I completely forgot haha
  5. It's like a bikini wax.... not technically necessary, but boy does it make a good thing better Love it, especially the handles
  6. Tyres are supposed to be ok for 10 years from manufacture. There's a way to tell when they were made so you can check. Do you use lots of tyre dressing? The silicone in a lot of tyre shine products dries the rubber out and makes it crack over time. Yeah they are def 2008, no I don't use any tyre shine on them at all, but maybe last owner did, I know car sat idle for about a year before I bought her? Only one tyre has this problem, both tyres same age 2008. Were they made, or bought in 2008? It could be that the car sat idle on a flat for a few months and that damaged the sidewall, tough to tell though
  7. Only bellends do that :stir: :boxing: :scare: :D Oi!!!!!!!!!! Haha...Actually my nismos came with the stickers already on!! Bleedin Nismo you bellends!!!!!!! you mis understand nismo sticker on nismo rims are fine its people putting nismo sticker on the factory gt rays Nismo decals on nismo wheels is no issue at all, it's when someone puts the nismo decals on either the 17" wheels, 18" gt wheels or the rays ones we have an issue with Or Rota's for that matter

  10. give a few days yoll be doing this because of them Hey look, I found an example of a 350z on [insert chosen tyre brand here] tyres, only had them on for 30 miles! If only he was able to afford MPSS! The tragedy! Nah, that's how you park a car in America. Isn't it just an example of American drivers + a corner?

  12. Occasionally yep, seems really sporadic.
  13. These Yeah, never heard of them, I assume they are sh#t? Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2 I'm running them on the Rear People make out bad, unheard of tyres will make you feel like you are driving on ice... I was on a budget and short time scale, and the only tyres I could get fitted were Nangkangs. Only had them on for a week, but don't see what all the fuss is about. Haven't driven it hard, as I was bedding the tyres in, but I've been driving around town, motorway etc - Doesn't feel anything different to my old bridgestones. You're not going to die with them on I'm sure someone will be along to tell me I'm an idiot and my car is going to implode for running them. Lol, yeah if you read some opinions, and don't she'll out for Mpss, you may as well use RIP on your avatar Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2 The newer nangkangs are really highly rated by the people who give them a chance. I'm using infinity tyres on the front of mine, they were £70 each and I'll bet your mother's third nipple that they held on when I went into the devils elbow at Lydden hill sideways at a fairly high lick. And before anyone asks, yes, I was deliberately sideways
  14. Euro car parts sell budget discs individually
  15. It's almost as if they don't want your slutty money
  16. Oh jheeze! Get ready for the flurry of "You must get MPSS or die" quotes!
  17. I have 3 sets of these and 2 sets of rx8 wheels, I'm good ta I paid £100 on two occasions last year for similar wheels. I'd say priced fairly Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk

    Whip one off and look on the back of the face where the alloy meets the hub, it should say in there who made them

    Elephant charged me £7 for my exhaust
  20. It's funny, maybe because I'm rubbish at photography etc, but the camera on my xperia Z1 is amazing, way more impressive than I need, I've also got the fancy wireless lens attachment and that just blows my mind with how good it is
  21. and means easy access to post up your drunken mistakes in the morning I don't drink, so I'm ok ever? Not really, rather waste my money on cars, I've probably had less than 60 alcoholic beverages in my life
