Ditch the tyre lettering and spend the time/money on painting the calipers (some funky colours and effects around these days) . Only Nissan that can pull off tyre lettering is the GTR imo. 

and the 350Z GTR Nismo? 

Like Alex said, check the tyres for uneven wear. Is the car leaning to one side at all?

If you can jack it up, take the rear wheels off and have a look at their condition, check for damage, corrosion, snaps.

Could also just reach under the arch and have a feel.

On the right car with the right mods they look great. Keeping them white is an issue 

 

@HEADPHONES I’ll just leave this here

 

 

i'm not sure what is worse, the Roadstone tyre paint, the GTR badge or the open fuel lid!

How pink do you like your wheels?  

Considering the current state of them (flaking, corrosion) pink would be an improvement 

When do you start taking bookings for alloy refurbs? 

Called my local today, cars booked in for next week, full works, sparks, belts and all fluids . (not wanting to rub it in, just this thread prompted me to make the call and check). 

Theres a chap whose recently stripped the roof off his vert. @Androlyn

Check his thread in the introductions section. He may be able to help or 

I've got an 06 rev up and not had any big issues . 

I get this on cold mornings, it never really bothered me, just assumed a bit of stiffness after standing still in the cold (like my knees ). Interested to hear from others with experience though

Agree with Payco. The black would give a more aggressive look. I fear in white, the lip would just be lost. 

I wish I was this skilled, should have seen the mess I made of our basic wooden fire surround 

Any major watch out? May give this a go, my wiper arms are currently off (one sanded, the other gets done tomorrow). Had to get a tool of ebay just to remove the buggers! 

Hi, do you happen t know how much a courier would be for these to Swansea, South Wales? Would be interested if i could get them delivered 

Only now seeing your reply Zelda, must have missed the notification, will have a look into an RJM pedal.

I've had to get back under the clutch pedal this afternoon, i turned the rod so 4 threads where showing, the car felt great to drive for the first week or so but then the pedal stopped returning fully, it wasn't staying engaged however it was starting to annoy me that it wasn't fully returning (only 10-15 times within the last month).

I don't know if its just my hyperactive mind but something just didn't feel right. I've now turned it back one rotation so there's 3 threads. Going to see if the same thing happens.

A new clutch and flywheel will be fitted when lock down is over anyhow but err-ing on the side of caution for now.

Glad to see it's back on track! 

Sounds like a right nightmare. Hopefully you can get it it to a point its a joy to drive again! 

Awesome, sent you a message 

Interested in taking this off your hands, would come in handy!!

Ive heard the Torque one is decent, can it reset errors?

 

Im in the market for a bluetooth OBD reader too, so many. I need one that works with an import (JOBD?). interested to see recommendations. 

Yeah it resets / clears errors also. 

Could be worth sitting tight and waiting for lockdown to lift, there's going to be more cars available in the summer, Spring / Summer seems to be the typical selling time for these cars and as our Spring is knackered, Summer may bring a decent spike in availability.

If the Mazda goes, could get yourself a cheap run about, or if the option is there, borrow a family members car etc 

not tried that but I have the Torque OBD reader which works with a phone app via Blue Tooth, works a treat, can also keep it running when the car is in use to measure different things 

Doh, just saw this after posting in the 'other' thread

Evening all

Found this via twitter

I had 1 the other day saying the sender had explicit material from my laptop webcam. I found this hilarious as I only have a work laptop and it is so highly encrypted it could never happen. I did think about replying and playing along but thought na just delete it. 

About 50 people know my old password and have seen me pleasuring myself on webcam.... They all want $250 worth of bitcoin also. Poor sods having to watch that!! 

Followed this paradise

I hadn’t thought about the clutch pedal. Yeah there’s something the clutchbut I couldn’t pinpoint what I didn’t like.

 

i thought it was the norm maybe as this is my first “sports car”

It's a simple task in theory but getting down there is the hardest bit. Search for clutch adjustment and you should find the thread quickly, have a read and see what you think
