  2. so do i but currently every time i chase i get another question like

     

    what did you clean them with?

    have you cleaned them since last time?

    What did you use to protect them originally?

    Can we have some more pictures?

     

    They have had 2 videos 7 pictures and thanks to your thread i thought i would chase them up today and i got told you only report this on September 1st despite the fact the same stream of messages goes back to august 10th.

     

    im no further forward i keep getting told its being investigated with work japan. But maybe im being cynical but it doesnt half feel like im being palmed off hoping i give up

     

    So im far from amused atm at having a set wheel that cost well over £2000 that have aged worse than a set of rotas

    Yep..know that feeling...it's a wheel ffs it should be made to a standard that at least lasts as long as the stock wheels.

  3. FYI I run Judd Wheels & if they aren't genuine I don't know what is , I also resent the inference that I cant drive or park my car correctly again FYI I have never kerbed my wheels ever but over 2 years of living where I do ( sea front ) and the god awful state of the roads around Chichester they are pretty fubbared also the tyre changes have nibbled all round the wheel nuts.

     

    Oh and one last thing the wheel on the left is nibbled to hell and back as is the one on the right

     

     

    Deep Breath.....

  4. On a side note the comment about kerbing is relevant yes but your wheels will be swiss cheese in two years no matter what you do, just accept it as a given our roads are so bad that the lips will look like you've surfed the edges of kerbs your whole life, the laquer will be holed and the bubbles and cloudiness will begin by year 3 you will need a complete refurb even if you've driven like the proverbial saint.

     

    Theroads in the UK SUCK..FACT

    Good job I work in automotive paint and refinishing then isn't it B)

    Just be prepared.....it's truly heart breaking when as you wash them every week you see the slow drip drip of decline...and garages and tyre fitters should be forced to go on courses of how to remove alloys without breaking lacquer...fummmm

  6. Dude take a deep breath and don't be a tit....the clutch is a major component so don't fanny about get the extreme kit from the retailers on the forum , its a known quantity and quality saves lives and engines.

  7. Hi has anyone on here had a gasket or O ring fail on one of these or had to replace one ?, if so is it safe to use a pre owned unit with new gasket or have I got to potentially stump up £200 plus and then £86 labour ?

     

     

    Thanks in advance

  8. your not alone, there was some research done a few years back that came to the alarming conclusion that most new cars left the factory with misaligned headlights, then there's the fog light on all the time brigade or as seems prevalent down south let's install a switch to disable my brake lights except for the high, oh and the high beam terrorist's.

  9. For anyone interested the full list of work undertaken is as follows

     

    350Z P2/P3 Service inc Brake Fluid Change

    EBC 350Z Redstuff Pads ( Brembo )

    350Z Front Droplinks

    EBC 350Z Front Discs

    Clutch Fluid Change ( 2 years ) old stuff was black

    Aux Belt

    Cobra Y Piece ( now have a complete Cat Back Resonated System )

    Superpro Comp Arm Bushes

    Front Wheel Bearing

    Lambda Sensor

     

    I wont print the cost but if anyone's interested pm me

  10. 9.03am arrived at Horsham Developments for a P2 / Cobra Y Piece / Front Pads / Clutch Fluid and a P1147 fault diagnosis / repair / replace.

     

    A little while later a man bearing three sheets of A4 arrived with a worried look.

     

    Front Discs are shot / nearside front wheel bearing has failed and banana arm bushes are shot.

     

    After giving me oxygen for the pelican he showed me the damage ( literally).

     

    5.48pm the car was rolled off the geometry rig and road tested, at no point was any banal question ignored or any point not explained.

     

    To Jez and the crew a huge thank you and yes the drive home was hugely different to our drive to see you, the polly bushes are much firmer and the ride a smidgen harder but the feedback is greatly improved.

     

    See you next year for a P1 and fingers crossed a plenum spacer and remap.

     

    Thanks again

     

     

    Doug
