  1. Holy price hike batman! But aslong as they were the same as the HR models then Id pay that.

     

    I do have a few conditions mind you,

     

    1.) LED strip lighting, not bulbs like they originally were

     

    2.) Same plug and play functionality

     

    3.)+ this one is more of a request but would be worth asking. Any possibility of the case not being smoked. I have a set of genuine clear reflectors here, how cool would they be if from the side they looked like that still but had the DRL functionality?

     

    Stick me down for a set.

  2. It could be that one of the slider pins or padd plate (I dont know the technical name, but its the piece of metal that sits above the padd under each pin under tension) isnt seated correctly, causing movement when braking. I found that when I reassembled my calipers that id positioned it incorrectly. Easy job to sit there and reassemble everything ☺

  3. Nice progress - let me guess, did the old Japsh*t Y pipe crack? :surrender: ...mine did :D

     

    Developed a blow at one of the flexi joints not long after fitting which was a shame. The new manifold is 2.5 compared to the 3inch so I hope that doesnt cause any issues...

     

    Make sure you get the repeaters put in the right way round one of mine is upside down :(

     

    Noted dude! Will get the bodyshop on the case though so if they mess it up, they can sort it lol.

  4. Unfortunately she sounds a little like my ex, who even now some two years on will still give me hints that shes floating around. An odd stalk, a like or poke. Just enough that its like a bolt of lightening every time.

     

    And im being deadly honest, its not healthy dude. Its made me sinical, sarcastic and generally difficult to be around. My patience for fellow human beings is at an all time low and the worst bit, I know im doing it.

     

    Find something you like doing. As silly as it sounds, I wack the headphones in, stick the music on and play that pokemon game. Before I know it ive walked 15 kilometres. Treat yourself, some nice Z modifications, good wash and wax.

     

    Ultimately, without being harsh because I did the same, you've put up with the pissing around and breakups, you've wasted valuable time and energy on someone who doesnt appreciate it. You're the better person, and better off :)

  5. I have to agree with everything ive read so far, so many hammers and nail heads here.

     

    If I may echo what others have said, as hard as it is no contact is the way forward. I will freely admit after breaking up with the EX i hankered after her and to see the two kids for a good year, and still do every now and then. There was a comment here about how it effects you, and honestly I feel like my soul has been dragged through a catcus lemon juice filled pond. I cant go into all the details of it because frankly its too long, and there are some bits id rather not repeat.

     

    You've given it your best, and dont forget that. Its not your fault whats happened. Give yourself a pat on the back and remember that. As cliche as it is, it'll all happen at thr right time when you least expect it. Chin up!

  6. Id be inclined to say they help to a certain degree if you have an open filter cone. Heat soak seems to be an issue and under bonnet temps seem high on these

     

    But all of the above is totally useless if you're using the standard air boxes. Id say it would probably be a very small advantage on an NA car

  7. Another vote for MTEC here. Set of there drilled and grooved disks on mine with normal brembo padds. Stops perfectly well with a nice firm pedal but then ive also upgraded HEL brake lines.

     

    One criticism is they squeal a fair amount at low speeds and the dust is horrendous

  8. So to update a few things,

     

    About three weeks ago I fitted sports cats to the Z

    All I can say is Holy Rasp Batman. Down low with normal driving it sounds ace, but once you boot it then holy christ. the rasp! Will probably be changed in the future but it'll do for now. Obviously even with spacers its still tripped the EML so they'll have to be switched off in the remap

     

    I then purchased a BloX 1/2 inch plenum spacer. We are now remap ready!

    And then today I made two large purchases. One is a Chargespeed bumper, and the others are 370z side indicators ready for when I get my wings smoothed.

    Just some teaser pictures for now, will update once they arrive and its gone down the body shop along with the V3/380rs spoiler and all fitted ready for incarnation!

  9. When I was toying with quotes, it was actually cheaper to say I parked it on the driveway than the garage,

     

    Because it then affects your Home insurance. Especially if like mine the garage is ajoined with a pass through door. The lady said you'd be shocked the amount of people who lock their garages, but not the pass through door. Which, have to admit im guilty of sometimes

     

    I do think insurance is out of control though. This vicious circle of, high insurance costs from illegal drivers, false whiplash claims, fronting etc just following each other round in circles. Which cane first, chicken or the egg?
