  1. Not sure it'd be worth it.... You guys were miserable on the phone to me, had me repeat details a total of 4 times (3 to the same person) and came in at £5k, cheapest compared to that with a stronger policy was £1300.
  2. Manifolds sold subject the payment. open to any reasonable offers on the rest!

    Single or dual

    Seems as though no real clarity on this - I’m going to be pulling the trigger on a custom exhaust soon and was asking the same question! in my mind, as long as it’s as close to a straight line as it can be then single would be lighter provided manufactured well enough to ensure Its not restrictive on airflow... True dual looks cooler but twice(?) the weight? for me weight is important and I’m trying to keep that down so may just go single for now but if there are gains to true dual (even if only small) I’ll more likely lean on that side if the fence.
  4. Finally got mine fitted... video below (torqen hfc and stock HR exhaust).
  5. What kind of weight saving over OEM do these give?
  6. Seen some for sale on FB group(s) - worth a look on there! It's where I got my (seibon carbon) one from too!
  7. Hi all, I've got a few bits for sale from my HR 350 that I need to clear out of storage and go towards my new clutch fund! 2x RTS street master FRONT discs - The discs are new and unused (surplus to requirement as mis-ordered!).. I painted the centre hub bit with heat paint. - £120 1x OEM rear boot lip (Pearl white) - Good condition and for sale as replaced with Nismo N2 replica. Tiny mark on underside I made when removing but not noticeable when it's on (circled in picture - All other marks are just dirt that I didn't have time to clean) - £100 1x Pair of stainless steel exhaust manifolds (DE & comes with gaskets) - I was assured when I bought these off a FB group member that they would fit my HR. I made the mistake of believing him, only to find out the flanges to the CATs are different when my mechanic was fitting them. These have never been used on a car (only one fitted and removed shortly after realized wouldn't fit) - £100 Will take offers on any of these, collection from Bristol or posted at buyer's expense. Cheers!
  8. Looks good.... (though I'm not exactly an authority on these things lol) I was wondering if it would be possible to take the reflectors out and route from there? I've been thinking about getting long tube stillens/injens myself and was considering whether this would be viable to help airflow to them (or just help keep engine bay temps down). Haven't had a chance to take the front bumper off yet and figure it out (not to mention being fairly green to all this modding business).
  9. This is the Scooby they had on Wheeler Dealers when they did the Skyline GTS lol
  10. Got the motor back and all sorted. Happy with it now - took a lot of work to build up more CF and reshape the underside of spoiler and is actually mounted in the correct spot now! Really happy with it and think it improves the look of the car.. though the body shop accidentally scratched part of the door while it was in their workshop!!! They’re fixing FOC no problems (as to be expected). Pain in the arse but accidents happen and he was very apologetic at least.
  11. As subject - ideally polyurethane oem replica but will consider similar items. pearl white if poss but expecting to have to paint regardless cheers
  12. Cool... Best start YouTubing/Googling about it then!
  13. HI all, Looking for general opinion as I've been given mixed advice. I've got some new SS manifolds going on my car and unsure whether I should heat wrap them or not? What have others done or recommended? Cheers
  14. Where you based / how much for bonnet struts posted?
  15. Cheers for that - I did go to Peels and was trying to decide against them and another garage I went to. As the other garage gave me a fixed price and said "I won't accept payment until you're 100% happy" and could do it 1 month sooner so I went for them after they showed me examples of their work and some projects they're working on at the moment.. He's charging me £600 to get it all sorted, Peels estimated £855 and said it could easily go up if they have to repaint the bootlid (which I suspect they will). I had other quotes ranging between £400 to £1000 (which I thought was a bit excessive!). Fingers crossed... I have trust issues now but as he's done fixed price and was very keen to get across if I'm not happy with it, he'll redo it until I am so hope I made the right choice!
  16. According to my mechanic, they're sealed before they're exported which is why imported ones don't often have as much rust problems! Could be wrong but may be worth checking first!
  17. He was apologetic - His hired help had fixed it on after he had painted it and was too late to change it by then he said. The hired help did duck out sharpish once I started questioning how @*!# it looked.. He's done work for me in the past and it's been to a high standard so could well be that the other chap just let him down. Either way, I've got my money back and going elsewhere.
  18. I've got my stand ticket up for grabs or preferably a swap to normal tickets now - Car's had some shocking body work done that I don't think any of us want on the stand representing 350's and won't be rectified in time plus I'd have to shoot off early anyway! PM if anyone wants to swap /buy mine - I'm in Bristol but can post quick enough.
  19. So I got the money back and going to take it elsewhere which is already been an got quoted for.. went over it with him and talked options but we decided that’s the best way forward for several reasons. Frustrating as I’ve got to Now drive around with this @*!# on the car for another week! Do think will look good when it’s on properly - favourite spoiler for a 350 so hopefully be worth it in the end!
  20. Yea I’d even test fitted it and checked that the bolt holes on the spoiler lined up with the boot holes. the spoiler needed reworking before putting on regardless as when test fitting I showed him it was uneven so there was a gap either way. I went through it all with him but turns out he farmed it to his mate who helps him out and he’s bodged it. I’m sorting the money/fixing aspect of it out, I’m more worried about how it can be fixed? To me it needs taking off, reshaping, repainting and then bolting back on as I had initially asked but what would normally be used around the edges? I’m assuming not tiger seal used as filler!
