  1. Clever dude right there, can't wait for the first start up video
  2. How did the noise lessen over uneven ground when applying the brake? Good result on the fix though.
  3. ^ where's the unlike button for this post...................
  4. Id aim for a late DE 350z for this budget and that way you possibly dont need to spend the lot either (tax and insurance needed from the get go) IMO the extra paid in tax year in year out isnt worth it for the 06 model, i dont hit the rev limit every day nor do i feel the need to with the DE extra low down lb-ft I rarely have a drink in the car to which id use the facelift door cup holders either *early models have one on the dash anyways. Lamps on the 06 model are nicer than that of the early model, however interchangeable anyways. Also imo the DE from bumper is cleaner looking than the facelift ones. Try and get one thats had recent tyres, brakes, clutch and exhaust as i did and thats £1000's worth that you then wont have to find anytime soon. When i bought mine in Sept 15 i had a budget of 9k and still went for a grey 05' model and its been bliss. Missed out on a black GT4, however with my ocd that was probably for the best
  5. Whatever you do get oil with the right viscosity index, not just the right grade ie 5w30. I put the below in a few months ago and on first drive the car felt noticeably slower and warm idle pressure was up about 8-10psi. Fortnight later and it was swapped out for Motul 8100 5W-30 and the car feels back to normal.
  6. Sunday gone they had tones of trade stands at Silverstone, Donnington & Combe are much the same irrc its only Japfest Rock which seems to lack on the trade stand front.
  7. I missed so much action from the stand clearly haha
  8. ^ mate that first bit is funny haha - I like him, even with his candy pink P11 GT haha Cams wise theres JWT, Tomei, Catcams, Piper, Kent each with at least versions for the roller rocker UK DE. So you went to the dark side after then, for shame lol
  9. Yeah AOC and NPOC use to be tight then all had a falling out. Tough to find good forums tbf and even then forums go downhill quick. The SR20 really opens up with a tune and fast road cams, loved the lumpy idle i had too. I'd of still had mine if it wasn't nicked. Believe it or not even Sunday at the show i had a couple come up to me to say sorry to hear about your GTi, absoluting gutting as it was THE best example of the car for the UK.
  10. Mate it's a stunning Zed and it's not even done yet!!
  11. You very right to be, what cams did you have? I pop'd along to an NPOC rolling road day at HiTech some years back, with panel filter, exhaust, decat, eBay header and afpr made 166bhp - just about normal compared to other SR20DE P11 the same day. Few months later after swapping out the cams to Tomei poncams, ASP header and lightweight under drive pulleys with ignition advance and fuel pressure regulator optimised I gain 30bhp from the late visit. Same the combination of the cams and header just worked great. My brother who had a Corolla T Sport 190 at the time went back there in the week for a run, mods cat back and blitz panel filter made 189bhp which again is about pretty much bang on. These hand built ASP headers were a thing of beauty.
  12. The SR20DE was such a strong lump too, having full bolt on's gained 50bhp+ which is great for non variable cam N/A
  13. The Almera has never been a looker sadly, but I did love my ol GTi - something different from the common Astra GSi, Civic Type R, 306 GTi and Golf GTi's of the day
  14. ^ lol class - absolutely stunning result for the club. Time to defend the cup next year folks!!!
  15. My favourites are Calvin' Car Diary *Nissan GTR owner Performance Cars *Honda S2000 owner Road & Race *BMW M3 e92 owner SJB garage *350z owner Jamie FYD *Lexus GS owner irrc Chris Drift *350z owner I also like the UK supercar volggers, however find the content unrelatable sadly for me. Meet up with Calvin and his brother at Japfest, absolutely sound guys, reviewed a 350z a couple years ago and rated it.
  16. Yes SOUTHBOUND chaps I'm pre pre meeting at Notcutts for 6am with four other JDM motors
