  1. yep and proud of it now wheres my walking frame and viagra
  2. a picture to start with would have expalined a thousand words
  3. meh! american cars get me about as excited as a girl with a jordie accent. i'd actually have to thumb it in its that much of a turn off!
  4. Coming from the man with an XK!!!! Pot, kettle, black springs to mind! mine is quiet nimble thanks to its adaptive cats suspension; and it weighs about the same as a zed. from what i remember yank tanks don't know what a corner is. and were still uisng backwards tech like leaf springs etc. and i'm yet to see a decent US interior for a car that costs 35k and under. they user cheaper plastics than you find in a binbag manufactuers workshop.
  5. i have to laugh, sorry for being a pedant, but why is it called a dip when no dipping is involved?
  6. if i wanted a boat to go sailing in i'd buy a dinghy
  7. sarnie beat me too it, but yes about 11-12k max and thats only if buyers will pay that much. you can put it up for what ever you like but unless people are willing to pay it you won;t get that price. the price of anything with a big engine is going only 1 way and thats down. with the cost of fuel and the fact peoples living costs are being squeezed no one is buying them and if they are they aren't paying anything near what they would have done for a big engined car. i think its brilliant as i've been picking up cars like my jag for a lot less than i would have paid 2 years ago. and it will mean i will have a great selection of big engined cars to pick from in a couple of years time.
  8. if your talking about the front bumper reflectors if its a UK they are just that, reflectors, and pretty easy to change. you can get ones with LEDs fitted in them, just look on ebay.
  9. price for a zed these days is about 6-6 k and a pack of worthers originals. lots to choose from and its a buyers market. The DE engines have more torque and the DE cars weigh less, they also generally fall in to the lower tax bank. apart from the newer interior in the newer ones on the track there is bug all between them. the newer ones might have more power but they weigh more and have less torque. my advice go for the best you can afford; and where possible buy from a club member as generally they are better cared for, although not always,
  10. if its just the side lights i replaced mine with LED's and you can access them from behind the wheel no need to dismantle or remove the light unit. if your refering to the reflector strip that is orange, then you need to split the light
  11. i'm due new glasses next year and i will be buying them online. just take your pescription from the oppo and buy online. i have the link to a good company at home if people are interested.
  12. shouldn't be difficult to find one in your budget, most of the zeds for sale are under 9k, its worth travelling a bit maybe down south to get exactly what you want. its a buyers market at the moment. so don't settle for something 2nd best to what you actually want.
  13. torque - for all OBDII code reading etc fuel - i use it to monitor all my fillups torch - light ebay - buying stuff angry birds
  14. if people like the nismo set up it is just a re branded AEM kit, so you could find one of those intstead. pesonally i'd get what wasso is selling, and anyone else who still wnated it, but was too slow, coudl get themselves an AEM. no reason why you couldn't paint the tube black, then speak nicely to me and i'll cut you a nismo sticker to stick on it.
  15. speak to husky first he might have a couple left over; if he doesn;t drop me a line and i can cut you one (i made them originally for Akari design to sell)
  16. applying heat to it will fix it to test the theory you can take a section and screw it up in a ball. then un crumple it and heat it and it all stretches back to normal. this won;t work while its still attatched to the backing paper.
  17. pics of them? when i get home this weekend i shall take pics of the samples and post up
  18. hexis do some interesting flip paint style vinyl as well
  19. yes but what i'm saying is that the original question was written wrongly as it doesnt travel 3 times faster therefore the question is null and void. he also asked would the third door move at the speed of light i answered that it didn't; doesn;t mean my answer isn't valid just becuase i applied engineering to it?

    GTR Body kit

    You are wrong. The nismo 350z stuff is an accessory designed for the 350z and the nismo 350z abroad is a variation of a 350z and still a 350z. The gtr bumper is designed for a gtr and that's where it should stay. You're trying the play the smartarse here and unfortunately just spouting shite. No matter what you want to spout, the 350z is not a gtr, a nismo 350z is a 350z. Nismo 350z accessories are designed for the 350z. alot of the nismo stuff isn't actually made by nismo its re branded stuff from other manufacturers. when it comes to in house tuners like TRD nismo etc nsimo i think are one of the worst for actually doing anything themselves.

    GTR Body kit

    if you have the stock nismo V1 spoiler its aerodynamic properties are negligable it was an aestetics over substance design. but it suits the car well
  22. the answer is no. you wouldn't get the last door to light speed. the mechanism is actually set up that panels 1 and 2 actually move at around the same speed. and the third panel chases a bit quicker. panel 2 has a slight pull head start as panel 3 gives some of its momentum to panel 2. (similair technique to how slow release tech works in mechanisms to stop you slamming a cupboard door. so basically regardless of how many panels you had. they would all move roughly at the same speed apart from the last 1 which would be chasing them closed. so you'd only actually have 2 speeds. so regardless of how many doors you added it would still move at the same speed.

    GTR Body kit

    i think its better looking than a lot of the crap people put on the zeds to be honest, but it makes it a null and void conversation because the GTR exsists i personally wouldn't do it. right i have to word this part carefully but i also feel the same way about people who put big sponsor stickers all over their car when they aren't actually sponsored by them. or shopping lists on doors when they don't actually own the stuff or people who put big wings on cars that never actually go fast enough to actually need that much down force. but at the end of the day people all have their own individual tastes; the world would be dull if we were all the same. and i must admit this forum is starting to get abit like the VW scene, unless people adhere to a set stringent set of rules on how to mod a car people will pi$$ on anything out of the norm.
