  1. Also known as willy waving. Tesco sell tape measures. (not really what this forum is about ) Pftt tape measure. By the sounds of it this should do...
  2. That is true.Some of the low profile tyres nowadays are incredibly sturdy in regards to their side walls. Probably the reason a lot of people don't even notice after their tyre has lost half it's pressure & almost gone flat.
  3. Bloody hell it gets worse! No chance of avoiding that one for sure. :surrender:
  4. Ahh.. I just noticed that! I wasn't careful enough ! lol.. I'm supposed to be anonymous -- Yeah you got a glimpse of me after being up all night working on a network install in an office building.. I took care of that -- I'll make more videos where I look halfway decent .. I was tired when I uploaded that one, no editing and totally missed it. I don't care who sees me.. Just rather not have my first impression be my up all night, unkempt , walking dead look I wouldn't worry too much ~ have a look at some of the other members on here & that'll make you feel better. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/81438-face-to-the-username/ I hate how I look in every picture anyway but my Mrs still loves me so who cares.
  5. What do you mean Dan? For example; 18" 225/45 runs at 34-35PSI but 17" 225/45 runs at 32-33PSI = different tyre sizes/different pressures. I totally agree with the second part of your statement but just don't get the first bit as the pressure needed as a rule usually goes up from what I understand by 2PSI per inch. Or have I read what you wrote wrong? It has been a long day.
  6. Just checked on the Second video .. which is the most important one lol.. And , nope, no sound, Uploading it again now -- Will fix it when the upload finishes. You know what I look like now? Hrmm.. From what? The drive-by videos? How can you possibly see me with my tint? lol. If you are referring to the Berk HFC install videos.. That is NOT me.. That is the mechanic,.. remember I'm behind the camera the whole time. I'm not fat, nor do I have a big belly, and grey beard. First drive by video at 5:25secs as you get out of the car. If that was you driving of course. Assuming the dark tint is as you're famous or is it for when you do drive by's then? If the latter do you prefer to "spray & pray" or methodically aim at your targets? I jest.
  7. Very nice and those videos should help give some indication to people of the sound. Although you are so right when you say that the videos never really do the exhaust/HFC's sound justice compared to driving the car & hearing the sound for yourself. Btw really love the exhaust tips on your Invidia. It was a hard decision to make but I went with the stainless steel rolled tips but yours look so cool too.
  8. Should be ok then. Just double check all the markings and things look legit in comparison to the old battery. I never leave batteries charging unattended which can be a pain but at least if they burst in to flames or explode I won't miss any of the action.
  9. For Zeds running standard size 18" tyres then Yes. Other cars with different size tyres then no.
  10. Corrected that for you. Welcome aboard and I'm sure you'll love the new Zed.
  11. Welcome aboard and very nice looking Zed. Always love those alloys on the Zeds.
  12. After having the wheels removed for tyre fitting it is always advisable to re-check all the wheel nuts after around 100 miles or so to check that they are all tight still. I always run my standard size Zed tyres (front 225/45/18 rear 245/45/18) at 35PSI as RickyZ mentioned. This is the Nissan recommended tyre pressure.
  13. Was going to add ioneabee that you need to be careful with these things as there are quite a few fake batteries & illegally made batteries etc from companies that are really quite dangerous if used in equipment or charging equipment. http://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/Identifying-counterfeit-laptop-batteries-/10000000175934297/g.html http://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/A-warning-about-FAKE-Batteries-and-illegal-Batteries-/10000000002638505/g.html Hopefully you've bought a genuine battery though.
  14. First video worked fine bud but the second video had no sound when I watched it. Tried it a few times but still got no sound. Anyone else have that problem? was really hoping to hear the difference. Other than that, good videos & finally know what you look like now.
  15. Also gives some of the idiots on the road an over exaggerated sense of safety making them drive even worse imo as they think they're invincible in their 5 star crash rated vehicles ~ without giving a f**k to all the other people driving around in their lesser rated vehicles or pedestrians on foot.
  16. +1 on all that. I've got Ferodo DS2500 pads as well and they work great on my 350.
  17. No probs and I wouldn't worry too much about it. The 02 sensors can be a bit temperamental.
  18. http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/products.aspx?CategoryId=063d63ed-3a5e-4a87-ad18-57ca6e0f8aa9 I'd imagine DBA would be a good choice for discs (see Tarmac Sportz link). Just a few ideas for you to look at.
  19. ^^ That's really cool. A "Hygena" bed with hidden storage for half price. Oh yeah and the brake fluid cover looks great.
  20. My Berks HFC's did throw up an EML after fitting them and the only real way to sort this was with an UpRev. I did the pedal dance (ECU reset) to clear the EML but it just kept coming back until after my UpRev. ECU reset info here; http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/53148-how-to-ecu-accelerator-pedal-throttle-valve-resets/ Fault codes here if you need them; http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/81962-350z-fault-codes-in-pdf/ If you can get the 02 sensor out again then I'd try running a "tap" through it to try and clean up the threads & then refit. If it's sealed though I doubt it will make any difference. As SuperStu mentioned though you could try Clark Motorsport for more help if your near them.
  21. Sound's cool. Looking forward to seeing some pictures before I get properly jealous.
  22. Can't go wrong with Abbey Motorsport from what I've read & heard.
  23. Might have to invest in some of those one day myself. Good to know the SGS Engineering ones are still the ones to get.
  24. If a quiz is quizzical, then what does that make a test? Accidentally pooped my pants in the elevator. I'm taking this sh*t to a whole new level. Marriage is like a deck of cards. In the beginning all you need is two hearts and a diamond but by the end you wish you had a club and a spade.
