  1. Thanks, the wheels I'm looking at are priced including tyres so if they're not going to work for me I'll just pass on them. The wheels Iv seen are 18" 10j et 35 with 255/35 And 9.5j et 25 with 245/35.
  2. As long as you are realistic about what you want from a car, and take what the z truly offers into account. It really is a cracking car for the money. Great v6 with bags of torque. Looks that haven't rly aged. Yea it squeaks a bit but it's a nissan, you can't have everything Get one and enjoy it ðŸ‘
  3. Hi, I'm trying to buy some second hand alloys and I've found some at a decent price with almost new tyres but I'm not keen on the size. Is a 35 profile going to cause tc issues? Or look overly "archy" lol?
  4. I'd imagine £20 will get them off for you.
  5. Love how he couldn't resist taking a swipe at ricciardo/red bull in saying he's the first to beat them fair and square. He won due to merc dropping the ball on strategy. No doubt it would have been close but merc would have been 1-2 or 1-3. How is this different to ricciardo feeding off scraps last year? The guy just irritates me, so smug and never gracious. Look at Merc's reaction to it. Very sporting considering the circumstance, they could've easily said its because of this or that but they were actually happy for them and left it at that. Ultimately it wouldn't surprise me if merc were actually running lower engine settings to nullify the talks of "equalisation", there is no way a team makes up 1.5 secs a lap in a fortnight lol Bernie probably told them to make it interesting for ratings.
  6. That's down to misuse/neglect not age. If u think the clutch is going, get a new clutch, full service and alignment for the £1k you save yourself. +1 for wanting to see the ad lol. I saw an 06 gt in lovely condition today for a fiver short of £9k and I thought that was overpriced!!
  7. Cheers, had a feeling this was the case, looking for jobs and improvements to make but the struts hold fine for now, thanks for the explanation ðŸ‘
  8. Daft question time. Should the boot struts open the boot unassisted at the press of the boot button? My struts hold the boot 95% of the time so I'm not bothered for replacing them really unless it's a noticeable improvement I.e the boot pops up on its own. Lol thanks guys
  9. Well I'm possibly in the market for Rays with tyres so give me a pm if ur selling. The tyres will degrade also. I wouldn't know how much/how fast tho
  10. Thanks for the heads up but il take my chances for now, it's just a stop gap before I go back to Greenlight. They weren't happy with the power hike from the mx5 to the 350z so one of the operators recomended sky for a year. Sky are over £100 cheaper than flux who were pretty cheap themselves..
  11. I know Iv heard edd China say it's equivalent of 4l before so.... .... This must be a fact ðŸ˜
  12. So tempted to take the spacer..... ... Must save for wheels and tyres lol why now!!!!
  13. I can't honestly remember how many coats it got but yes there was a lot of prep and I really took my time with very light coats etc, the parts were off my car 8 days, it's not perfect by any means but you've got to look very closely to spot any flaws. It's not my first rodeo tho I'v had experience with spray cans before so fancy my chances of a decent finish on most projects, don't think I'd tackle a body panel tho. And thanks for all the comments 👠glad everyone seems to like it. I think it's really made the inside like a new car.
  14. Yes, the same stuff halfords sell, or that you would use for the outside of a car. I'm sure somebody will come along and say Iv used the wrong stuff lol and It won't last but so far so good. ðŸ‘
  15. No I did fancy having them dipped and maybe il send them your way eventually but these were done with rattle cans. 😎
  16. Cheers, love the ark with a bumper tuck 👠I was just hoping for a straight bolt on swap tho to keep my costs down that's all. I'm saving for some Rotas u see lol
  17. Wanted or swap for slash cut titanium. I'm after a pair of the rolled chrome tips. I know it's a long shot but I'm not a slash cut type of guy and these came on the car when I bought. If somebody offers a swap I will offer cash their way as the left hand tip has suffered at the hands of a previous owner who has polished some of the blueing off by the looks of things.
  18. Sky insurance. Best for me by an absolute mile.
  19. Sorry I didn't did I, they're 18's and thanks for the input ðŸ‘
  20. A mate has seen some Rotas for me, 10j 20et rears. 9j 20et fronts. A. How well would these fit/clear Brembos (I'm sure this wouldn't be a prob but best check eh) B. What would this do for the ride, feel & handling. C. Tyre sizes. I assume 265-275 45 rears and 245-255 45 fronts? Edit: they're 18's

    WHEEL NUTS

    Do you do a colour close to the Brembos?
  24. Such a shame to have this noise, only owned the car 5 weeks but this is the only thing I don't like about the car. I have the invidia genesis and the car sounds beautiful, then every now and again at 1800rpm it sounds like it's eating itself. A bit embarrassing really when you have somebody in the car with you. Would love to hear if anybody has managed to quieten it without replacement as my clutch is fine.
