  1. 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.
  2. the nissan logos are easy to remove

    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.
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  8. been spending last night knocking you and lizard off all the number one spots
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. looks like your pretty set on a 370.
  12. looks excellent mate, can't wait to see your spoiler blade refitted
  13. entry finishes on the 24th of jan apparently. i don't think i have the time to put in the practice to get into the top of the table to qualify for the academy. whats more annoying is a can drive better in real life than i can on a computer game
  14. i read this somewhere already, think it was on a press release about the new roadster that someone posted up earlier. nice option, but bloody expensive. thats not a premium, its a brand whore tax
  15. like i said before it won't have helped sales of their mag on this forum. and i won't be reccomending it to others. i'm sticking with my yearly subscription to topgear
  16. the race today will be interesting, it will have the 9 people who qualified form yesterday up against i believe 2 celebrities from topgear/fifth gear. and 3 racing drivers (think one is a touring car driver). (none of whom had to qualify yesterday ) the track layout is made up of concrete blocks and scrap cars.
  17. it was 5 minutes on track with 1 timed lap at the end. just one lap to prove it, any mistakes, your out. was great fun though and really enjoyed it, and the instructor with me gave me useful tips to increase my lap speed. i'm happy with my effort, but it has driven me to want to do more track stuff. just got to save up the money for it.
  18. looks interesting. i also had a look at the link to the Nissan GT academy for 2010, am abit annoyed that you can only enter if you have a play station or go to the auto show which was this weekend,
  19. dammit i bought it, and just lost 2 hours of my life good fun though
  20. last time i was mot'd the bloke said the 350z brakes were off the scale, far better than most everyday cars. the test was more to make sure all 4 corners were working the same without any seizes
  21. dat is a gud question rich how close was you to winnings? don't know, was told by the instructor i had a very respectable time and good control of the vehicle. but there was obviously people a lot quicker. watched plenty who weren't. i didn't spin out once, but did get some drifts in. were lots of others 360ing in the wet. possibly due to them coming from FWD hot hatches and no experience of RWD. there were also proper race drivers there. in my briefing there were 2 GT drivers. so i guess i was respectable for an inexperienced race driver i think mark did well, but don't know if he got through. he had to go to a wedding straight away, so i'm guessing he's on the beers at the moment.
