we've had 300bhp hot hatches since 2009. We've had 250bhp+ coupes since the early 80s corrected for you

Not safe for work , language - One of the guys on the MLR .

I dont think there will be any walking, once rolling I have no issues keeping up with 350z's in my Octavia, I lose out off the line due to fwd, on the drag strip there is about 3/10th of a second between the Octavia and a 350z and thats a terminal of about 100mph so around a cars length so not a lot in it . The S1 has 4wd and is lighter so should get away cleaner , I certainly wouldnt put any money on either

I have the same engine in my Octavia VRS so in a lighter chassis I expect it will be able to match the zed , wont be much in it either way

Bummer Dominic replaced the top pulley on Reggie , dunno if its worth getting him to check out the video and see it it sounds the same , failing that a long screwdriver used as a stethoscope should help you confirm the culprit

^yep . I never tint the fronts , the guy i use uses a dark tint on the rear window and a lighter one on the side which helps blend the windows better Like this Not like this

If memory serves the stock windows are about 22% tinted already so that doesnt allow the use of any film on the driver and passenger or windscreen

Yeah not inspiring to look at for sure but fun to drive Amazingly just looked up my old one T101 FWL and its still on the road , although its covered just over 20,000 in the last 10 years so not used much

We had a Primera GT , you could just spank it everywhere Only kept it a couple of years by the time it was 2 years old it has started to fall apart , surprised they are still about really My mum had a Sri Almera , white , cracking car if a bit hearse looking

Have you put fresh petrol in it ? Fuel does go off over time

the lfuid level doesnt need to be low to cause this fault , a little below the max line can cause it

Have you actually checked the brake fluid level yet ?

Yes low brake fluid can cause this issue but there is not need to flush brake fluid simply replace old with new

The 2 year old Yuasa battery in my wifes Prius failed today , wont hold a charge at all , assuming dead cell.

I usually buy mine from here https://www.tayna.co.uk/ Bosch and Varta are usually the best in tests

I had autoaid for a few years never needed them though , all i need is someone to recover the car to a garage dont see the point in paying anything else https://www.autoaidbreakdown.co.uk/ Got better cover now through my bank for £10pm but you get a lot of other benefits as well (Nationwide)

Good effort! Intake temps are higher than I would have thought

Yea I was impressed by it, I've been using a laser pointed thing that gives you a reading but this seems a lot more detailed! What's your sons business called? I used to use a laser thermometer on my bike to check the cylinders were even , a guess this would be a useful tool for some people

Yep be very very careful prying the badge up with a tool its super easy to mark the paint

Victor tankers were still going into the 90's unlike the Vulcans. In the 1980's Marham was where they sent the naughty boys in my trade Did a 30-130 day at Marham with my Evo , good fun , absolutely maxxed it out on the runway , didnt know they did trackdays as well

Yepo warm up the old badge with a hair dryer before pulling it off , if you are gentle you can sometimes lift them with your fingers and the sticky pad stays on the badge

Sounds like a faulty TPMS sensor , if you set all the tp to 35psi it should go off once you get over 30mph , the tpms sensors on Nissans are coded to the car so the ECU knows which one it cant see , shocking really as its very easily sorted , glad you didnt pay for the new car prep as they clearly didnt do it . Check for the transit blocks on the suspension as well Enjoy your new car Edit sorry as its a Nismo not sure what the pressures should be so check

The last good looking car that Nissan made was the 240z imo , been downhill since then

Think I might have some door handles and vents .

I couldnt get the tablet to display properly on the cars screen
