  1. Works great on the tail pipes Pete my zed used to be blue but now its silver
  2. i use them on the jag as i have 20" wheels, been more than happy with the falkens, and at that e options are limited. if i had the cash i'd put more expensive tyres on, but the pirellis that come as standard are just shy of £2k i paid alot less for the falkens put it that way, but they more than meet my needs. as has been said above, they are a mid range, and the lowest value of tye i'd stick on a car. but they haven't let me down yet. ultrac seesantas are worth a look, again another mid range, but i'd say a little better than the 452's Conti 5s are good, and from what i've heard PS3's are the mac daddy.
  3. so this and aren't suitable for car washing then?
  4. should be one in the boot but you can slip your arm under and take a photo. basically if it has tin metal shrouds round it, then they're stock. if you can see the body then its AM
  5. strangly they've managed to make the badge even more hidious than the nissan badge which is a feat in itself with renewing the name will it revive the reliability issues that plagued the name so many years ago. i hope it works for them
  6. have you tried jacking the car up and actually looking for yourself?
  7. i always give the official 350Z owners salute; see below for instructions
  8. falkens, sessantas toyos, all suitable tyres, bridgestone re050s are good
  9. just seen the pic of your car being tuned, looks hot
  10. as long as it doesnt affect the current lights need for an MOT you'll be fine
  11. Cheap Hydrogen Alternate Voltage lighting is also an alternative, again they can be found in similiar places
  12. i have no issue with toll roads, but if they do bring it in, then they should reduce the RFL. I think the M6 toll is brilliant, bypass birmingham brilliantly, the only thing they forgot to build was the 30ft wall with barb wire on top.
  13. engine will turn over but not start. had this on an MR2 list of possibles Air lock in fuel line block in fuel line dodgy fuel pump imoboliser spark issue coil pack issue admittedlythe last 2 should still start even on 5 cyclinders
  14. might be the imoberliser could be the key fob battery
  15. yes, just use brighter LED's, but also mount an LED at either end. also sand the plastic to take it from clear to opaque
  16. advantage of acrylic rod is its a thermo plastic, so with heat you can mould the shape. prime example of this is BMW halo lights.
  17. if you take an acrylic clear rod, and drill an LED sized hole in one end, fit an LED into it, the acrylic rod should bounce the light up the solid tube and out the other end. at the same time lighting up the length of the rod. as an example this video shows the principal. first 2 minutes is just tech waffle, but from 2.10 shows the lights in action
  18. Yep, well, look at the prices of XK8s and 996s (and any Alfa from 2011)! i can believe it, i got my XKR for a bargain price, the previous 5 owners lost about 70k between them
  19. if alex has the stuff, get it from him. gear box oil is often very specific or has to be to a specific standard for each car, i'd use what is reccomended for the car. some gear boxes are more picky than others.
  20. Royal purple is good oil, i used it in my 350z its got a good rep especially in the states with custom builds as for the gear box i haven't dealt with autos on the zed, but if its anything like the jag auto the oil should be changed every 60-80,000. the issue with just draining an auto box is it doesn't empty the torque converter. don't know if its the same onthe zed,but on the jag its actually reccomended to flush the box, but these are origianlly sealed units. the zed might be different. I know a really good auto box specialist in the east if your interested. its where my jag is going in a few weeks time for a full auto box fluid flush etc. as for what oils checkthe opie website they can tell you fluids for the car.
  21. actually scrap that, it used to be full of nobs, but it went up the crapper, and with the naval base there it's now full of seamen
  22. i wouldn't bother going to condom i hear its full of nobs
  23. check your tyres are in good nick, no one should attempt anything endurance based with crap rubber
