    R35 GTR Alloys

    They look very good on the Zed; what would finish the look off is a BBK set
  2. i'd say the k series V8 is a better engine, i had a k series and blew the head gasket on that; it was expected; wasn;t like it was a suprise. as for the zed's v6 you should be more concerned at oil consumption. as it usaully requires an engine rebuild. unlike a k series which just needs the heads skimming.
  3. i was put off by the price this year, shame as it looked good, but it was a lot more than i was willing to pay for a basic ticket.
  4. have a look at sub zero's build he used a single turbo, might give you a size and build idea
  5. i've got a dog with no legs; i called him cigarette as every morning i have to take him for a drag
  6. So i had a quick look online and the upgrade fee if you are already on windows was £25 so i thought for that price, what the hell. so far i've been pleasantly suprised. it takes a bit of getting used to where everything is, but its not bad. and it seems to have solved my boot up issues. i have to say i like it.
  7. What!???? He's waiting to see the fitted pictures
  8. looks good, what products you using? get good wax on there and it makes future cleaning alot easier
  9. car covers are fine as long as you clean the car everytime before you fit it. otherwise the wind moves the cover over the dirt thats on the car causing swirls you're better off cleaning the car and protecting it with decent wax, and then wiping the odd bird doo doo off as soon as you see it
  10. doctor doctor; one minute i feel like a wigwam, the next i feel like a teepee don't worry sir you're just 2 tents (to tense) :wink:
  11. He's already in secret negotioations over new parts
  12. i have no idea as its not been done before. as a guide those rocker covers are about £100 a piece. but they are easier to dip as the plastic is alot smoother and requires less prep work. I'd need to speak to my painter and see what the best method would be. as the original plenum is rough cast i need to work out if its a case of having to sand back the whole thing before painting. or if its possibly to use a levelling compound to build the item up. i have to take into account where the item is being used and the heat in the engine, as i don;t want it to crack etc. this is a possiblity if the paint is very thick. i.e. with a levelling compound. and lots of heat.
  13. Its not really a new product for the 350Z forum, but thought i'd share with you my own little treat for my XKR. its so shiney and carbon will post up the full engine work mid week next week when its all finished. If someone is interested in doing a plenum i could look into this and see what we can do.
  14. will look nice colour coded onto the car
  15. if it competed on price with the other 7" tablets coming out i could understand, its more portable, more for use on the move, and more suitable for people who think 10" is too big for a tablet to use on the move and want more mobility. but at £429 no thanks
  16. Chill out dude I'm alright really
  17. you won't like him when he's mad
  18. are we sticking these tires on new rims; have you checked the spare under the hood, careful with new tires that you don;t get into a fender bender. hate american terms slipping into UK culture
  19. air con works like a de humidifier, it takes the moisture out of the air, which speeds up the clearing process. so aircon set to hot and aimed at the window clears in seconds, comapred to just hot air which takes longer.
  20. he's like the tin man, if he had a brain he'd be dangerous
  21. i use rainex on the outside, not tried the interior stuff. with regards to the seals, get some good silicone wax and rub it into all the seals around the doors. it should plump them up and help them seal. also helps keep the rubber in good condition. for reference i use super lube. comes in a small yellow pot, and can be got off ebay for a couple of quid.
