  1. Question is, which one of us is going to be Rick and Negan from TWD??
  2. In the event of nuclear launch being detected on either side, the MAD protocol would be activated meaning nobody wins. Along with all the fallout and prevailing winds its unlikely you'd be safe anywhere, especially with a good dose of radiation. Rule of thumb (pun intended) is if you hold out your thumb in front of you, and the mushroom cloud is bigger, you're boned. The neighbour is a trident submarine commander and he's not been home for a while Me? Id probably pull up the deck chair, stick the sunnies on with a beer in hand and get the best tan of my life. While grumbling that the Zs not back from the shop yet, naturally
  3. Sealing the headlights after whatever method you choose to restore them is the only real effective way to keep them maintained. You cam go balls to the wall like I did and have them clearcoated at the bodyshop, only cost me £50 quid and they'll last. Will happily say mine look better then when they left the factory!
  4. I had a very similar issue when I replaced my brake lines. Got to the drivers rear line and snapped it at the union as it had seized. Wasnt overly bothed as I knew I could get it trailered down to the shop. Obviously I had no brakes due to the snapped line, but thought I could at least move it on the drive. Nope Not sure exactly what it was, but the car sensed the lack of brake fluid, threw up both warning lights that you have and locked the differential meaning the car, even under its own power wouldnt move. It was like the handbrake was on. Im not sure how related both of these are, but thought I'd offer my input. Did you disconnect the lines?
  5. Prices vary wildly so thats kinda a difficult question. Depending on condition, damage, age and what the seller feels is reasonable I'd say anything from £150 upwards. And as for your second question, a little more information is needed. Depending on the brand most aftermarket exhausts are catback, with the option of a aftermarket Y pipe. You'll probably find that most systems will meet up from the Y pipe back with little to no modifications, unless you drastically change and get a full duel system like an Invidia Gemini
  6. Hardly ideal Davey. You know that
  7. Then unless you get a sparky to wire you up a loom im afraid you wont be able to change there positioning
  8. Mines in the bodyshop too bud, I know the pain and excitement of waiting for it to come out! Liking the bonnet struts, may have to track me down a set! Do like a red Zed
  9. Looking awesome buddy! The azure blue is so nice. Just how noisy are the fans then?
  10. Tyres are one of those things to not be scimped on IMO. They are the first and last thing connecting you to the road buddy. Its a good idea to do some research for your own peace of mind, as various different brands have different side wall strengths, compound and how long they last under normal driving conditions. I personally run the Hankook V12s and have no complaints about them at all. All tyres will have ratings on them, very similar to your electrical appliances rated from A - E for wet grip, fuel economy and road noise
  11. End of the day its much of a muchness whether its N1, V3 D2 C3P0 :|
  12. So little update, we have a N1 front bumper! Was dropped down the bodyshop on Tuesday. Looking forward to purchasing the revised preface DRLs from Torqen which will round the front end off nicely! Getting nervous about Incarnation now.... Also decided to smooth the front emblem off, should look tasty! More when I get updates
  13. If we have weather like we have been down south, its going to be absolutely glorious. Sat in the garden right now with a corona praying its good
  14. Have to agree with Dan on this, any alignment place worth its salt will listen to what you want. Theres a place locally to me called Hunter performance who have done all my car, specifically a full fast road set up on my Honda. Once dialled it was glorious As for camber, Id be looking more at the compounds of the trye. All are different and will react differently. I had T1Rs on the Honda and it gripped like poo to a shovel, but wore out quickly. One suggestion I'd make is have the tyres filled with nitrogen instead of air. Doesnt react anywhere near as air to temperature changes, and IMO provided a much firmer but smoother ride. Well worth the 12 quid it cost!
  15. The wiring wasnt there on my pals fairlady when we swapped his cloth seats for leather.
  16. Another vote for redoing the braking in procedure, had this a while ago! A good late night run up and down duel carriageway cured it, no more vibrations or clonks
  17. Problem he'll have is its very unlikely he'll have the loom to adjust them. So when he refits them they'll be in exactly the same position as they were removed, which will probably be too far forward!
  18. The manifold bolts can be deceptive, mine looked awful but a couple days spraying and then a good run before hand and they came off easily. I found that on mine only one was threaded into the manifold, the other two (4 total) came completely out. Had the same issue with cat bolts and ended up angle grinding them out, you'll be much better off with a new system chap
  19. The mental image was strong there haha. Hope all goes well buddy
  20. Please fit those facelift front lights haha. Or sell them to me!
  21. I know the new owner of this and he literally cannot wait to pick it up!
  22. Not sure why you're putting "just a remap" in quotes since I never claimed that. If you're agreeing that they are over 350hp, then my point is proved. My point being that a remapped 350Z can reach 350hp+ without FI. While also requiring obscene amounts of work, additional aftermarket parts and an endless stream of cash. Its not a standard VQ35 anymore, far far from! And the point that others are making and you're missing is that no stock block will get to 350BHP! Why are you still trying flog this dead horse? The constant arguing is getting so tedious and Im not the only one to notice it either.
  23. Not going to comment on eBay side of things as Ive never sold on there, only purchased so don't truthfully know the full ins and outs. But I used to be a post office master, and can fully say that 20quid for 150 grams is crazy. But my experience lays strongly within UK costings, my only question is though is there a difference as its Latvia to greece? Not the shortest of journeys lol
  24. Will add this is a cracking radio for any 350z! My pal had one in his and I was a wee bit jealous until I got mine! Lots of cool features and chrisp sound GLWTS
