Better pic here which I took today for Payco

I find 'solid' wax to be the most durable, which I keep topped up with a spray on sealant every so often. Paired with a decent shampoo the paintwork will keep the wet look after every wash and bead for months. Hellshine Eliminator polish/paintwork cleanser and Dodo Juice Supernatural wax are my products of choice. The Eliminator is really powerful applied by hand, never used anything that comes close to the performance of it. I'd recommend using a tar remover (like Autosmart Tardis) and Iron X to remove as much contaminants as possible before claying.

Leave it and worry about it when it starts to go, it has probably been changed at some point in the past. Although it won't last long if you pull away in third..

Great job as usual, oil filter and crush washer sent at the speed of light!

Motul 8100 is what a lot of guys use on here, very good oil available from most traders on here.

Did mine on the drive, pretty easy. Hardest part is trying to adjust the drop links so there is no preload on the ARBs, which should be done with the car on the ground, so there isn't a lot of room to work. You need to do this so that when the car is in it's normal position, the drop links easily slide in the hole on the ARB. (Attach and tighten one side first, drop car and settle suspension, then adjust opposite side to easily slide in) Exhaust needs to be detached at the mid pipe and hanger unbolted which will be difficult if yours is in poor condition, mine is only 6 months old so bolts were fine. I've read some people are able to remove the ARB without unbolting the exhaust somehow. It will be fine if you have the correct tools eg axle stands, breaker bar, 6 point sockets, plus gas releasing spray/WD40 if you can't get any, wire brush and a blow torch may be necessary.

Only just got round to trying my APC from Envy. Really good stuff, doesn't burn your throat like some do when you spray them. Can be diluted up to 1:80 for general use which I did (or as best I could!) to wipe over the dash, seats and clean the mats, it has a nice fragrance so is ideal for this. Also used on some exterior bits such as wheel arches and tyres with no problem cleaning at that dilution. Great value for money.

£300-£400 is normal.

Car looks great mate. Love what you've done with the exterior. Where did you get your rear diffuser and front lip from?

Resonated is a lot louder than OEM, non-res will be very noisy. Both drone in the cabin though, but it's easy enough to 'drive around'.

The Cobra is great, I love the sound of mine. Tell me about it, list of mods is long and I keep reading up about supercharging.. The GTM kit which I can install myself at home would be a really fun project. Yep, same as my setup. Not tried hardest all round yet, when I get on a track day I'll adjust them I think, but for day to day use they are perfect at the moment. Really impressed at the lack of body roll!

Go for it, you won't regret it!

Dodo Supernatural wax gives a stunning wet look finish on GM that is really durable, I love it.

Go with Eibach, very very good quality stuff. Fitted mine last week and they are so good.

Yeah, tbh I wouldn't want my exhaust any louder than it is, don't mind the tone changing but the volume is bordering on anti social as it is. I know Horsham do silenced decats, but they only fit the DE Zs.

Only need a 10mm hex socket, very simple job to do on the driveway. Best to use genuine Nissan fluid, however I'd be inclined to find the source of the leak first before driving it any more.

I really want decats but I'm worried about how loud they are!

Just picked mine up from the post office, chuffed to see my pic for July! Very well put together and filled with lovely cars, thanks

Not a problem if the car is lightly soiled or dusty, like in the summer. A very high lube QD will work fine, like in my post above. Also a clean MF each time is essential.

Jesus, it was actually missing and you didn't know!!??

Chemical Guys Speed Wipe is what I've found to be best for me, always keep a bottle in the car with a MF. It has very high lubricity so won't harm your paintwork, completely wax safe and it's also anti static. I use it pretty much daily in the summer to keep the car looking 'just waxed' between weekly washes.

Definitely worth the extra for the reasons above, just think of it as the same cost as a couple of extra tanks of fuel.

Slightly stiffer than OEM, still very comfortable. They will be fine for track use, I have Tein springs, Eibach ARBs and Whiteline drop links which are great together, however I had the springs on on their own for a weekend and the car felt a lot more improved in cornering. The drop is perfect for me, not too much that I can't get over speed bumps easily and doesn't require new camber arms etc. I struggled on OEM springs with the odd speed bump round here, but wanted uprated springs etc for fast road and the odd track day and Teins have the best balance for this IMO. There's a pic in my build thread of the drop if you are wondering what it looks like.

Fitted the Eibach ARBs and Whiteline adjustable drop links today. Wow! Why didn't I fit these sooner! Paired with the Tein springs the car now corners like it's on rails, drives like a different car. Understeer has also been reduced a lot. I highly recommend anyone thinking about these to get it done! Easy enough to fit, drop links need to be adjusted so that there is no preload on the bar, meaning you have to adjust them with the car on the ground, there's not a lot of space to get under with it on the ground, especially now it's lowered but it's just about doable on the driveway. Anyway a few pics: Thinking of a rear wiper delete next. Car also needs a service as I've covered 6k already since the last one!

Wow! Someone got a ridiculously good bargain with that :/
