Was that when we had to go out and catch out food and then try and make fire to cook it Yup, and we never got lost relying on technology either!!

Thanks for that Chris, I accept fully what you are saying but I'm about to do 2k+ miles to the south of France and back, I have the steel ones in the workshop and as there seems to be a plethora of 'fake' D1 spec's about and i can't be sure mine aren't genuine then it's a case of better safe than sorry.

Nice job David

We all managed years ago when there were NO mobile phones, yes kids got upset but as soon as they came to terms with the fact that they couldn't talk to their parents until they got home we just got on with it so from that point of view I do tend to agree that phones should have been a no no from the outset.

Having now read these, I think there are too many doubts in my mind for them to stay on the car, steel ones going back on in the morning:- http://www.epcivic.com/index.php?/topic/23776-d1-spec-lugnuts-warning/ http://www.rx7club.com/suspension-wheels-tires-brakes-20/how-tight-torque-aluminum-lug-nuts-889249/

Thanks mate, have sent emails to the wheel and nut manufacturers already. Not too worried now mine go on and come off with socket and fingers too

Congrats. glwts

Nice gesture buddy

Green Flag have been good for me.

Reminds me of this:- Hope she gets through it

I stand corrected, 80ft lbs is correct for the 350....goes out to readjust wheelnuts

I've never checked before but it seems 80 ft lbs is right for 350z, at least 3 or 4 people I've spoken to over the years have said 100/110, 105 N.m is about 77 ft lbs, so which is correct, what settings do others use?

Thanks Chris, always tighten mine to 100/110 ft lb torque, chatted with Bob this morning and we think the set he got may have been a 'knock of'. I'm fairly certain mine were genuine, had on them on for Wales and no issues, been out for a pre France road test and off out now to check the nuts now it's cooled down. Watch this space. **edit** Checked them all and they were all fine, took them all off one at a time and checked the threads, no disfiguration or signs of "shavings".

Will, if I could give out 'bad taste' warning points you'd get 2 for this one!! That is gross

Safe trip Sent from my Zed using Nangkang tyres front, RE040's rear

Ok, I have D1spec ally wheel nuts, should I be concerned and change back to steel or is this to do with the fact that Bob has had his wheels on and off more than the UN have said they'll intervene somewhere!!? Serious question despite my frivolity.

I'll try to keep both my wing mirrors this time, you guys would love the roads

Off to France on Wednesday in the Zed

Buuuuuuster!!!

Change the head unit and the speakers first and then see how it sounds

So when are you going to start ?

So, I have to ask, why did you want to know what we thought?
