  1. makes for a depressing but real read sadly. this is such an infuriating government
  2. i teach technology and i teach in mm, its not at my end that the c0ckups coming from. i blame the science teachers. i think they measure everything in cm.
  3. some good work their well done i'm not so embarrassed to use small text, i talk to my car to
  4. i believe you take the power from the lights.
  5. fiddy do you run a jwt pop charger filter, but in the typhoon box and pipe work?
  6. thats quite a chunky tap you'll need, most kits i think only tend to go up to about 12mm. i'll have a look at work but i don't think i have something that big. possibly closest is about 15mm. i think your going to need ot order one. i want to order my own set for home use, but not got round to it yet. try screw fix might be able to buy them singular.
  7. its like drugs when it comes to nissan servicing/maintainence "just say no!" i bet your total expenditure on this will be about £10 for lubricante. this website just saved you £1300 not bad for a night work. worst case scenerio is you have to make a trip to abbey, and thats not going to break the bank.
  8. good point, they are an easy to fit job.
  9. your still £4k short for the rest of the super charger, and thats only if you can fit it yourself. i tend to look for the newest lowest mileage i can find. nothing wrong with the older ones but thats just me. i suppose the the OP the only thing to say is good luck in your searcha dn try and find yourself the best example possible for the best price.
  10. i don't think your not that far from abbey motorsport. there are several based round the m25 area also DMS are near the dartford crossing/brandshatch area. both are worth travelling for as both are very experienced with the Zeds you'll probably find you don't need a new throttle body, i think i had that code once. possibly set off when you had the filter fitted, they may have knocked the throttle body, the butterfly valve is very sensitive and doesn't like to be disturbed. i'd do a throttle posisition reset and an ECU reset and then see how you get on.
  11. after its been remapped, i'd go for mine all fair points. and luckily i don't have to think of them as i'm neither selling or buying.
  12. Anyone that thought their car was worth say, £15k in August, and now thinks its worth £18k is deluded...... i bought mine for £15k over a year ago, i don't think mine is worth £18k but i definatly reckon i could sell it for more than i bought it for. but agree i doubt i'd get near the £18k mark. i'd say possibly in between at about £16k ish as a start price easily. only got 20,000 on the clock. No you wouldn't. You would struggle to get £14k for it. reallly? i just went on autotrader and found at least 10 cars over the first 2 pages of refined search on a 56 plate that were over £16k the rest of the other cars were 07-09 all above £17k looking on autotrader i think i'd sell easily if i put it straight on at £15k. its all hypothetical as i have no intent on selling.
  13. thats very easy to reduce the cost of this, don't go to nissan, they are the biggest bunch of ripoff artists, and they aren't the best at diagnosing problems as their technicians aren't that familiar with the car. whats your location, i'm sure there is a better performance garage nearby. also Zmanalex or R35LEE can get you parts cheaper as well.
  14. snow looks set to hit suffolk on wednesday, just as i go back to work i'm hoping for tuesday night so i don't have to go back on wednesday, but it looks like i'll have to do wednesday, then we'll see if the county grinds to a halt again don't know how much we'll get. hoping for loads

  16. i've done 2000 so far on my sessantas and they still look like new
  17. i don't think its seasonal, thats just what the market has done, the only 350z that changes in price is the roadster which is usually less in the winter as people don't like to buy ragtops in the wet and cold. the only reason the prices were less last year was because of a recession and according to the owe wise and wonderful mr brown we are apparently out of it now. i think the only direction the prices are going is up, but thats imho.
  18. i did suffolk to york area before christmas, was around trip of about 500 miles got home with 50 miles on the DTE its doable but i only managed it due to the really bad weather and so i cruised up at 70 the whole way, witha few a14 stretches at 60 due to traffic.
  19. off too france in the summer for 14 days, definatly a stint in normandy as i've never been and probably the dordoin (don't know the spelling )
  20. you know what that isn't a bad idea, i do a lot of D of E stuff might just bring my kit. was an instructor on a gold expedition round that way lasy year so no biggie for me. thats the one thing with the dates. i need to find out when the bronze expedition is as i know they have a may one and i have a feeling its then
