  1. Happy Birthday both. @Steel Lynx ~ when you do the Birthday wishes threads have you thought about putting the Birthday boys & girls names in the title? Might make it more likely they'll see the thread and also their friends will respond.
  2. ^^ Good news Hooch. Getting some GTechniq stuff next month sometime so C4's on my list already anyway.
  3. I'm still on standard suspension parts... One day that'll get done as well. All in good time.
  4. ^^ Good results Jeff. Definitely a step up from standard.
  5. I guess the roads in Scotland are better than the ones here in Wales. Too many bl**dy speed bumps & pot holes round here to enjoy real WOT in the Zed.
  6. Would really need to photoshop that Golf out of shot first though.
  7. ive got this video of a couple of laps from knockhill on the go pro. its not good or fast but was my first ever track experience. My very first lap i spun out at the end of the straight still doing about 90, onto the grass and spun about 3 times just missing the wall. the only damage was that id lost my front two centre caps . unfortunately the go pro decided to freeze and not record any of it though Pity you didn't have that camera set up for the drag event and glad there was no damage done at Knockhill. All good fun though ~ can't use a car like yours properly on the roads so you're doing it in the right places.
  8. ^^ They should come off. Might be easier if there are screws underneath it that you can take off to disassemble the model to get the axles off. Just don't break it as you wouldn't want to have to tell your sister you broke her gift trying to mod it.
  9. That would be good. As long as you get the same scale wheels/alloys then that'll work. You can get them on eBay as I've seen them before on there.
  10. Keep it smooth for definite imo. Maybe with the cash you'll save on not getting the spoiler/spray job buy some LED rear lights which will make a big difference in making it look more modern.
  11. Good to hear. Did the Zed get any presents too? Not really no, just a diecast model of himself that my sister gave me. They sent the wrong colour though (TWICE I might add!!!). So now I have 2 in rusty orange haha that she has to send back to get one in Azure Pretty cool and will be better when you get it in the correct colour for sure. You'll just need to change the alloys on it though, add a stubby, Nismo style lip and then it will be as cool as your real one.
  12. I doubt it, ...James May has a pilots licence and you'd hardly say he was a fanny magnet because of it. Better off with a nice car imo as at least you get to enjoy it more often and don't have to ask for permission to take off in it.
  13. Good to hear. Did the Zed get any presents too?
  14. Could it be anything to do with the cyberbashing he took from AmyZed on this forum after the Ace Cafe meet? You know, where he was severely sh@t upon for very little reason*, regarding the way he handed out the trophies he'd brought along? Or is there another reason that I know nothing about? *just my opinion - hope I'm allowed an opinion. Yep it happened in the Ace Cafe meet thread and he has edited all his posts in that to a question mark. Tbh imo Amy handled that all wrong as their discussion should of been done via PM instead of her embarrassing Stevo on here when eventually it was all a misunderstanding on her part & Stevo did exactly what was asked/expected of him. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/88188-zed-meet-at-ace-cafe-london-sat-20th-september-2014/page__st__220 Still don't get why he has edited posts in this thread and others though as they have no relevance to that. Maybe he was just pi**ed off.
  15. How come you left the sub box in? I'd have taken that out and sold on eBay or something for some extra cash. Zed looks good though. that was the only mod that was in the car when i got it, also had a clarion amp under the seat. Im useless with anything so thought id just leave it lol Fair enough. Hope you're enjoying the Audi.
  16. I don't think it was actioned as a recall in the UK more so as a "service action" here. The only recall I have heard/read about here in the UK for them was for 143 Gallardo's regarding a brake disc problem. Source: http://www.autoexpre...k-cars-affected I have however heard of at least one UK Gallardo owner who's car did have his power steering pipe burst, ...this did not cause a fire in his case but could have. He was a member on Pistonheads. I've got nothing against Lambo Gallardo's nor do I think that they'll all burst into flames but your language seems to indicate it really upsets you for some strange reason. Some people will always peddle things like this on the internet Sarnie, whether you believe it or not is up to you. I for one don't think all Gallardo's will catch fire just like I don't believe all GT3's will catch fire. At least you've been lucky enough to own a Lambo, ...not that many people have or will.
  17. Ok Flyn not the easiest post to translate, ...but if you mean where can you buy the plastic strap that holds your fuel filler cap you have two options. Firstly fyi you can only get the strap with the fuel cap as it isn't a separate part so; Buy brand new from Nissan as I did ~ cost around £27 so not cheap but you do get a nice new part. Buy second hand filler cap & strap from zmanalex or similar ~ will be a used part so the strap may break again sooner than the new one but will be cheaper. PM zmanalex on here ( http://www.350z-uk.com/user/9648-zmanalex/ ) for a good used one or try one of the other members/member traders who are currently breaking 350's. E.g. Clark Motorsport, Shades Rs etc. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/87886-53-nissan-350z-gt-breaking-spares-with-20-khans/ Hope that helps.
  18. Welcome aboard. If you are lucky you may be able to sort out the exhaust with some persuasive leverage and bending, ..otherwise you may have to live with it or just sell it on and get something half decent which tbh is what I'd do. I've got HFC's (High Flow CAT's) and there aren't any heat shields on those so I'd imagine you will be fine. Doesn't get hot for me in the cabin but when you get out of the car after a long drive you can definitely feel the heat wave. Not a problem though.
  19. I detest that dam American tradition. Really that's one "holiday" period I'd be much happier without. Sure it's good fun with the younger kids, up to 10/11year olds, but any older and it's just an excuse to intimidate people in their homes, set off fireworks in the street & generally smash up the place.
  20. damn right might even buy another as a spare Well I wouldn't go that far, ..not at $400 a pop but still worth every penny, sorry meant cent.
  21. I bet the employees will be sick to death of Christmas by the time December actually is here. Bah humbug.
  22. How come you left the sub box in? I'd have taken that out and sold on eBay or something for some extra cash. Zed looks good though.
  23. Didn't think Graham was as tall as Will or Dave!!, .....then I spotted the chair.
