    tyre pressures.

    wet conditions, snow, example 1. last year in the snow i had bridgestone reo40's grip was almost non exisitant traction was poor and all corners were power slides. this year, in the snow i had my vredestein ultrac sessanta's grip was greatly imporved, i had for more traction, the car didn't fishtail at anything over 40mph which the bridgestones did. example 2. wet weather with the stones the car never felt as planted, (this is everyday driving) wet weather with the sessanta's, i have far more confidence in the corners. point being made. if i had sessantas on the front and stones on the rear, or vice versa, i'd more than likely be in a new car. or if not that then i would be driving the car to its potential ( and i don't mean like a boy racer)
  3. this is exactly what i was looking for, i wanted to keep the lettering, and have been trying to work out how to put it back onto a blank carbon template
  4. i still don't know how we got on to genital measuring, i never said people north or south have big tools, i just used the analogy to explain a point
  5. they should be ok, i know its 50something, nut can't remember what the something is
  6. i think its about 56mm i think the centre caps are about 58mm if you get a tape measure you can measure yours. i cna't remember off the top of my head the size.
  7. here i am the last time i got my c0ck out its very large and i had to dangle it with a rope to hold it up so people could see. i'm wearing a bike helmet for anonymity
  8. can you guys start a new thread on them as i fancy discussing the steering wheel covers as well. just means when people search for it it will be easier to find than tapped onto the end of another thread.
  9. my middle name is "tripod" if you really want i can pm you a picture

    tyre pressures.

    sorry speedy, that wasn't the point i was making, when i pointed out difference between budget and premium, was more to point out the chart that shows the variation in braking distances in the budget tyres alone. it was to try and back up the point that every tyre reacts differently. and braking distances aren't track based needs, they are everyday road use needs. if the braking differences are different what other handling characteristics are different?
  11. i've dealt with JDM performance, and they are very good. also i think coops has some kind of carbon covers on the way to release. lots of options.
  12. the nissan logos are easy to remove
  13. thats a baby

    tyre pressures.

    tyres make a huge difference, and in my opinion should be one of the first mods you do. exibit A: http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/ pretty much every tyre is in here thats worth mentioning, just by reading the reviews you can even see how the same tyre but on different cars can have a different reaction. Exibit B: http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/Au ... rmance.htm an example of budget tyres versus premium tyres, the braking distances alone shoul dpoint out a big difference between tyres. this isn't just opinions based on guessing, the people giving you advise have lots of experience. know the cars, and know how they react, we aren't here pushing tyre sales for premium brands, or to make you go buy something, we are just telling you the most likely outcome if you mix tyres. and the difference it makes not just on a track but in day to day driving. i've driven cars and tried a variety of tyres on them, and i noticed that the handling characteristics of the car change with the tyre. and so does your driving style.
  15. i'm sorry but giving all that to northerners is like giving man a huge penis, but not enough blood to get it up. looks impressive, but is completely useless, and only good for pi$$ing
  16. i did this with mine, you don't have to use likwid art, ebay have a selection, i think the diameter is about 56mm or 58mm. easiest fitting is pop centres out, turn over, drill out plastic studs, remove nissan logo, clean surface, fit new ones.
  17. i didn't go to bed until 4am this morning because of that game

    tyre pressures.

    you don't have to be pushing near the limit for mix tyres to be an issue. mixed front and back is better than mixed across an axle. its down to the fact that you'll be running different, tread patterns, compounds, sidewall stiffness among other things. you hit a piece of ice on the road, or a diesel spill. the tyre could react differently. one tyre travels over it fine, but then the other doesn't. its your choice at the end of the day, IMHO the tyres are the only point of contact between the car and the road, and the only thing that keeps you attached to the tarmac. its not an area to skimp on, I'd rather run a good tyre on all 4 corners, than a mix of tyres or put cheap tyres on. as said before its your choice, you can do what ever you like with the information, follow it ignore it, up to you.
  19. been spending last night knocking you and lizard off all the number one spots
  20. i like them and for the price, you can't go far wrong. worst case scenario they've used cheap stainless and after 5 years it needs replacing again. most of these kinds of items are manufactured out in china. emphasis tends to be on quantity and not quality, but saying that i had a TRD copy manifold on my mr2, made in japan, sold by am american on the forum, and it was fine. never had any problems and did the job well. your choice really.
  21. love the pic, great looking car
  22. i don't know they don't say. if you qualified, they rang you between 5-8 last night. if you didn't answer after 8 they went on to the reserves. i did ask about a league table and if they were going to publish all the times in a leaderboard style. they said they weren't sure, but if they did it will go up on facebook.
  23. looks like your pretty set on a 370.
  24. looks excellent mate, can't wait to see your spoiler blade refitted
