  1. might find someone with a 2nd hand one lying around
  2. i got a snow day, last day of school cancelled, and i've got 6 inches of snow
  3. mines in my garage, so not noticed it. nor last year when it wasn't in the garage, may be its not cold enough where i am?

    if you want the veilside V3, i'm not sure it comes in carbon, but i think Zmanalex has one thats already been painted GM but if you speak to carbon forza they might be able to skin it in Carbon for you. or the nismo V2 is a slimmed down version of the Veilside, and they do one with a carbon blade, so you'd only need to paint the body of the spoiler.

    the v2 is more of an old school wing style wise. and its bigger.

    when i get round to it i'll take some pics of mine, i have the nismo v2, been on for over a week now and i haven't been home in daylight hours to take a pic.
  7. no snow here yet biscuit. Its tried and it is freezing cold but the roads are wet through. My zed is the filthiest it has ever been in its life! Pop by my office for a mince pie tomorrow! won't get away from here till about 4 i reckon, so i doubt i'll be in malton till about 9,
  8. yay me no worries, i'm aiming for january any way, just got to get xmas out the way first.
  9. this is all new terroitory for me and i'm following with interest. mine will hopefully be booked in some time in the new year. is it worth waiting till you've had a play with your car with the new tech? also and this may sound like a stupid question if the ECU is basically a little computer is it possible to add more ram like you do with a normal PC, either swap out the old stuff, or have like an external ram that bolts on ontop? or is it a case of it only works with that setup and any tampering in that way renders it useless?
  10. i got to drive up to york/malton on friday afternoon, and then on saturday off to lastingham.hope the weather holds off till monday
  11. O really? i shall go and have a butchers have a search for my threwad on here about plenum spacers, think it will only throw the one result, has links to all items mentioned, and i think it has 3 nipples for about 3 gauges, or it might be 2
  12. adam at z1auto does a plenum spacer with built in valves ready for fitting gauges onto. might even work for tapping the plenum.
  13. talking of mini concepts i really like their mini coupe concept that should be coming out in the next 18 months, shame its FWD
  14. had a look but couldn't find the zed badge, it may yet turn up but i'm not hopeful. on a possibly more positive note i do have one of these going spare it may or may not be to your liking, but it should cover the gap where the original zed was. let me know if your interested.
  15. saw your FTO at modified live snetterton this year, looked very good, was really impressed with it, looked great in the flesh. If R35LEE or P15ULT or Zmanalex doesn't have one try some of the online car breakers there are a couple of nissan specific ones, if you can't find any let me know and i'll post up links.
  16. there is your answer there, unknowns and federals, you've got mixed axles, low tread, wet weather and you let off mid corner; a lovely concoction for mayhem might also be worth checking tyre pressure alround, should be 35psi alround if they are out it can have an adverse affect as well. also if the hnadling has thrown you slightly might be worth getting the geometry checked out and have it setup again, shouldn't cost more than about £60 but well worth it. once you learn to use it to itsw full potential its a very rewarding drive. i'd take it steady at the moment with the snow regardless of what tyres your own you'll be wanting to go steady. if its really icy i'd suggest going a gear higher to reduce your torque available save the rear coming out without warning. welcome to the club
  17. insurance companies always send you out your new cover letter for the policy when it starts, as long as you have that it is proof that the policy was started. should be enough to cover your backside. but glad you didn't have to test it.
  18. if i remember rightly when i last did it ages ago i think its at about step 7 it will give you a continuos sequence of flashing lights. and it will repeat the sequence indefinatly untill you switch off the ignition. you'll know when you get to that point. might be worth putting a shout out for someone local who might have an OBDII reader. i have one now but i'm a long way off.
  19. have you got acess to an OBDII reader, might be someone local with one. might be worth finding out first. or do the engine reset, if gives you the code that way. it might be nothing and just needs the codes reset.
  20. hospital stint means i'm limping in now.
  21. better to rest for a few weeks now than cause long term problems. believe me i wish i had put more into my physio work 5 years ago. i'm back with the speacilists for the 4th time, i now have abnormal bone growth in my knee and arthritis in my knees. i have a severe heal spur in my right foot and regulalry suffer from a limp depending on how hard i push things. i'm 27 and i miss so many things. i'm trying to get sorted to play rugby again but my phsyio-terrorist thinks i'm crazy another 3 weeks resting is better than 20 years of constant pain.
  22. nothing to say she won't pop early, they tend to have a mind of their own, its like forcasting snow, you'll get close but it might just come early
  23. you do know its for the 2007+ engine thought you had a pre facelift as you went for the othe rengine cover earlier
  24. standard car paint will withstand the heat, just use a good primer and laquer and it should be fine. if its aluminium use an ally primer.
