  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. Any pictures chap? Im weighing up options for some more guages at the moment as I miss keeping an eye on what everythings doing like the Honda!
  4. Id say its normal, although everyone is bound to be different. Too many variables. Before I had my new CSC and braided line fitted, I definitely had what I would describe as a deadzone, where it made 0 difference. Was very much nothing nothing nothing "clutch engagement" and we're off. At the back of the pedal there is a pushrod and two nuts, which you can use to adjust the biting point. Its an absolute fiddle mind.
  5. Id love to know what purchase and resale has been on this, reckoning its through the roof. Id be feeling very upset if I was in Paycos shoes. Shame a forum mrmber local to it couldn't arrange a viewing
  6. Any update on the redesigned prefacelift DRLs Adrian?
  7. I had my old civic de-wipered so it has crossed my mind, but I actually find the Zs rear wiper to be quite practical. Not sure if its the design but I find the rear window gets filthy! I'll more then do it in the future when I track down a set of window lourves though Mee too dude! The excitment is mad and theres so much to come! Hell yeah bud! The love for the Z is firmly lit now so no holding back! I really hope its done on time... Gutted wont even come close
  8. Id love that rear bumper, even if it was just to upset people haha. Sourcing one the UK proved to be impossible. Not got a clue what the spoiler is, interesting comment about the EVO as there is actually one parked behind it no? This is one of those cars that could either be a gem or a nightmare!
  9. This has been for sale alot recently, and was posted on one of the facebook pages. Its nice and alot of kit for the money, but something about it makes me feel uneasy!

    Opinions

    And I personally love USDM / JDM plates and hate UK plates! Nothing worse though then Japanese cars with motorbike plates
  11. Id edit this while you can, its really not wise to admit plan B on an open forum. Its well known that insurance companies check such sites. Especially when both insurers youve mebtioned are on here
  12. Well crunch time finally happened! It went down to the bodyshop on Tuesday, and after a lengthy chat with the sprayer I've ended up having even more work done Always amazes me how quickly I can spend what I earn! So as far as a run down goes, this is the list of work its having done hopefully ready for incarnation on the 22nd of April, It goes something like this N1 front bumper Chargespeed rear bumper 380rs spoiler Debadged boot Wings with 370 indicators Full front end respray blended into the doors backend respray Wheels refurbished Door handles to match the wheels So this was it being picked up By Rob at RBE LTD motoring and recovery assistance, know Rob personally and his work is spot on and down at the bodyshop The yesterday I popped down to drop a few more bits off and was greeted with this... Then today my phone goes off, and its the sprayer. They've gotten stuck right in... Happy doesn't quite cover it. There we have a chargespeed and 380rs spoiler! The bodyshop have had nothing but praise for these products and how well they've fitted, requiring minimal work to get them on. I should also note that I have USDM crystal clear rear lights to go into the bumper to make it really look fresh. I can't wait for more updates!
  13. Bullshit, no car goes through 4 and potentially its 5th owner that quickly unless its got something seriously wrong. The only possible thing is that they're all paying well over the odds and then realising they've been stung, because they dont realise the example they've got...
  14. So how many new owners has it run up in the last 3-4 months? 3-4? Somethings got to be wrong with it Remember seeing it at incarnation and thinking "Holy batman". Was such a clean well presented Z
  15. Where exactly did I "attack" you specifically in my original post? Where? Did it not perhaps cross your mind before you replied with a smartarse comment that I was referring to the outlandish comment on the listing? A comment that has arisen because what once was a lovely car is doing the rounds for certain dodgy reasons? Or is it somewhat more accurate to say that you've been called out on so many things lately, the blowing exhuast, the plastidip, something about a moderator that you're instantly hostile to anyone who says different? As ive said to you before, if you just stop arguing for 5 minutes then maybe common sense would prevail.
  16. Well done, youve posted links to engine builds that have everything from cams, valve train, porting and polishing in between to being over bored. Everything that this is not. Jesus wept.
  17. You're whole argument, which you started in the first place I may add, about whether an uprev can achieve 350 BHP is mute, from the simple understanding that this particular car, does not even have close to those modifications required, hence a multiple of members messaging the seller to inform him of this. It is simple common sense. Thus yet again strudel strikes again grasping at straws and splitting hairs to bump his postcount up a tad more, all in the persuit of "knowledge". What I am also saying is that until you undertake such feats and learn things for yourself, first hand, what you read on the internet is to be taken with an extremely large pinch of salt and is far from gospel. When you could perhaps go down to a reputable machine shop, I dont know talk to someone with YEARS worth of experience. But why dont you come help us with our high comp B20 we're building, I can show you if you want? Currently finishing porting and polishing the head, I'd love to hear your input especially on whether the exhaust is blowing or not
  18. Its really frustrating when you chat @*!# about topics you dont have a clue about because you've sat on the internet reading and suddenly you're Dominic toretto. When people like me and others commenting here have actually built there engines for themselves... You remind me of a chap on the civic forum who made engine mounts from wood then wondered why his engine fell out. You're still not learning from the whole "If people are disagreeing with me then maybe I might be wrong" thing huh. Speaking of relevance, you joined not long before or after me, i cant remember which and yet have an obscene amount of posts. Wonder how many of those are "related". Shall we continue via PM?
  19. Theres no way from what ive read on VQ35s for them to make 350BHP from stock with just the usual supporting mods. Big loud cams, fueling, injection, porting, polishing, skimming, timing and a whole shop of other parts then maybe, just maybe. But you're talking about upping compression, a serious N/A build. And absolutely thousands of pounds for when as coldel says, put on either a turbo or supercharger and youll make more for less. The uprev isnt just about unlocking modifications, its about improving the entire feel of the engine and how it drives. This really frustrates when people make outlandish claims and people believe them!
  20. Well the cars in, the painter is optimistic but who knows! Lets cross everything!
  21. You'll need to get the bumper repsrayed and filled of you move the plate, youll have two 50p size holes behind the plate holder
  22. Try unplugging the battery and leaving it at least 20 minutes to completely dissipate the charge. Hopefully upon reconnecting and starting the ECU will relearn throttle position
  23. Evening Payco, My car is going into the bodyshop this week for a fair amount of work. Im crossing everything that itll be ready in time but just in case and ill put this out for everyone, maybe pre allocate my pass. Im aimming to be there but its going to be tight Thought id let you all know
  24. Im half sceptical about my gallery gaskets as we spoke about a fair while ago Mark. Can anyone tell me what oil pressures should be for an 04 DE?
  25. 450BHP and stretched tyres. ALRIGHTY THEN
