Welcome and happy birthday for tomorrow good luck in the search, plenty of info on here for what to look for.

I was amazed how heavy the gt4 wheels were when i took them off mine. In 18” the lightest wheels are the rays that lots of people opted for or the enkei rpf1. Then you take a big step up money wise to the legendary TE37s and other Jap imports. Lots of options that will be somewhere in between the above and what you currently have like the popular rotas that many go for. I went for some SSR wheels that are only slightly heavier than the rays but better offset and width.

Wonder if they need a tea boy at the cosworth factory?

Welcome along used to have a beemer myself as well as the zed

From what i take in from the very little attention i give it: Mays deal: no one is happy, country in chaos, impending zombie apocalypse. No deal: half of country unhappy, goes into chaos, impending zombie apocalypse. Re-vote: possible stay in EU, other half of country unhappy, chaos ensues, impending zombie apocalypse. General election: no one knows.... see previous Its a good job i have seen 6/7 seasons of walking dead so whichever senario plays out me and “lucile” will be ready

Cracking job there, they’ve even done the wheels.

As above, great little piece of kit, it can recondition the battery as well as recharge and then keeps it on a trickle if needed so you will come back to a full battery. (As long as its not totally dead)

Great news, welcome to the cult.

From what i have read into this (and considered doing it myself) when i upgraded to the kaaz diff is in normal final drive (stock) 6th gear is only for motorway driving and saving fuel, it is not needed/used on track as 5th gear can cover the max speed your gonna do. (In my HR 7500 rpm in 6th equates to around 210mph) so what a shorter final drive does is makes the whole gearing shorter, so redline in 2nd gear would be 50mph rather than 60mph and so on. This will improve your acceleration (as long as you have traction) but means more gear changes. It also makes full use of your 6 speed box but means cruising down the motorway might be at 4k revs rather than 3k (depending which final drive you change to) My issue was and still is: 1- The cost involved (as above, around 2k unless done which other associated work) 2- The general day to day driving is compromised . 3- It may work great at one track but not at another (ie, where you could go flat out 3rd suddenly now means you have to change to 4th for a second then back down.) Apologies if you know this and you probably do but just stating what I considered. I think to sum it up, like you mentioned, if your after a drag/full track/nurburgring machine its def worth considering. For anything else probably not.

No need to make a purchase first for the forum members, running same promo as last year, see flyer:

Must make tyre changes quite emmotional. Matt: just be careful with Barry mechanic: i will do, i take it thats what you call the car? Matt: No, Barry is the left rear, take your eye off him for a second and he’ll be rolling away, little terror. Mechanic: right.......

It certainly broadens the target audience if they ever break it for parts.

Do you have numbered dust caps to get the right order each time or is like changing gears so you instinctively know the next move?

When i say blast them, i mean rinse them. It was for dramatic effect. They are rinsed with rest of car after wash. I blast them first as you do then use whatever wheel cleaner/fallout remover i have to hand which gets to work whilst i snowfoam the rest of the car, then rinse, wash car, then wheels after with said left over water then rinse off with pressure washer and dry. Works for me.

Welcome along

At what point does it not become a zed anymore, serious question. What has to change for it not to be what it was, the chasis?

Same as davey. I use whatever water is left from main wash to clean the wheels, goes down well with the eco types in the street. I then get the pressure washer out and blast them with 500ltrs which makes Yorkshire Water shareholders happy. I usually then start on my car if the wife is happy with how ive done hers.

Same as above, fantastic kit but if you spend a long time in stop/start traffic you don’t need to do leg day at the gym.

Bet he wishes he was head of persimmon homes, wouldn’t need to be as sneaky then.

I now understand that famous Eric Cantona quote. why the seagulls follow the trawler, its not because they think fishermen will throw fish into the sea BUT because the seagulls know they have to throw them back because of EU quotas. Clever seagulls. I just wish the whole brexit debacle would hurry up and finish. It was always gonna be a lose/lose senario. I didnt vote and i wouldnt vote if there was another chance as i do not know enough or have access to the complexities involved and neither do most people. Like has been said before, it was a case of saying what people wanted to hear. The main problem now when you turn on the radio is most businesses still dont know how/what to plan for.

Welcome to the club, although you did get me very curious when you started with 250z.

What jcurtis said, welcome
