would it work with the k&n typhoon?

Have just been browsing ebay, and found a load of oil catch cans for the 350z (think they were universal) all going for around £30 inc p+p but they were all from the US. is there much difference between a universal one and big name brand ones that cost over £100. also CS do you have any guide prices on the ones you have in stock,

i think that should be it, from what it sounds like its the laquer that ends up with a dimply effect as there isn't enough of it down to spread out and create a solid finish.

i did say ages ago that glyn hopkins wasn't a dealership i want to deal with, this just reinforces my point. i'm going to marshalls in bury st edmunds to hopefully have some out of warranty, warranty work done. and already just by dealing with them over the phone they've done a better job than glyn hopkins by being polite and helpful.

if you sand after laquering it will dull the surface, and you would need to polish it up. the lawuer should be the fianl coat. it might be surface prep. if its the engine cover your painting, did you sand it down properly before hand, i used an orbital first to smooth the plastic down and remove the rough finish. and then sand between coats.

i do like the tommy k badge, looks really nice.

if your laquer is orange peeling, its becaue you are moving too quickly with the can, its a bit of an art form ,but with a bit of practice you can get quite good at it. go too slow and you'll get runs. i tend to start at the top and work across in lines, nice and steady. do the edges last, but becareful with them, because by then you'll be adding to the laquer on the top and you'll most likly get runs. you should be able to see the surface change as you do it. you'll see it orange peel if you go to slow, just go back over it, if its already set, you might be able to use a levelling spray. it reactivates the laquer and helps it level out, but i don't know what the time limit is for using it on set laquer.

i prefer the bottom one, i was thinking about getting one for the rear of my car, but i don't think it would cover the location holes either. think i might have to bite the bullet and buy the tommy k zed badge.

think it might be your laquering technique. i didn't even sand between coats on this one, and still got a smooth finish. if you laquer does it look like the skin of an orange, all dimply and rough?

have spoken to nissan GB and they have passed me on to the dealership first, so i have decided to give marshalls of bury st edmunds a go, have just spoken to them on the phone, they have been very helpful, just got to send them a fax of my service book tomorrow, and will wait to hear what they have to say.

no one have any ideas of a good supplier of these, i can't find one anywhere?

will it clear fault codes as well, or just tell you what it is?

so expensive for a cable, the pioneer equivialnt is half the price. hence why i'm going the pioneer route to match in with the pioneer sat nav i already have.

Call the Customer Service team on - 01923 899334 Alternatively contact by E-mail gb@nissan-services.eu Or by post The Customer Service Team The Rivers Office Park Maple cross Rickmansworth WD39YS Hertfordshire UK Thanks CS for the addresses, i've just noticed the clicking rear axle issue on my car, but i'm just out of warrenty by a month, so i've emailed them to see what they say. i cheekily mentioned that i was a club member in the email, and that i had read alot about the issue already from the forum, and that i didn't want it regreasing. will let everyone know what they say in the end.

my guess is the speakers are wire dup backward somewhere, i vagly remember if on an old headunit setup i had the rear parcel shelf speakers on bullet connectors, if you wired the polarities up backwards you got no sound. try swapping over some of the connectors, possibly the RCA leads in the back of the headunit, or try reversing the ISO connectors

auto dimming units tend to be bulkier and have 2 led lights underneath, normally one is glowing slightly. as for the 350z having them, i've never seen a car with them, but if it was an aftermarket addon i'd be tempted.

this is hotrains unit viewtopic.php?f=32&t=22111 and to route the cable to the handbrake cubby is dead easy,

what else would i need to intergrate it into my car, i presume yours is able to use all your steering wheel controls. on the website it says it requires an aditional cable to use OEM steering control functions. would that be coming with the unit as well. was this something you fitted yourself, or was it already in the car when you bought it? sorry for the silly questions just it is quite tempting

looks like a nice unit, i'd be tempted but its out of my price range at the moment, will let you know if my situation changes, but i think i may end up going down the pioneer route.

finally got mine fitted, so i thought i would post up pictures of it.

i'm looking for the greddy gear knob, can't make my mind up between there ball type or the funky one. have found the funcky one but only with the 5 gear pattern on ebay, have googled it but not finding anything. plus on ebay they are around £40 for the greddy on, but the top secret one on the website on page 1 is nearly £80, i don't get it, they're the same design, probably from the same manufacturer, yet almost twice the price for tio secret.

big old farm for me, with lots of out buildings, so i can set it up with a giant storage garage for my cars, another as a big workshop so i could set up my own garage to do mods for myself and others.(keep it fun no worries of running a business) and another set up as a wood work shop so i could actually make furniture as a hobby. as for cars i'd keep the zed, but mod the hell out of it. i think id have a konigsegg (not sure of spelling) definatly a lambo, but not sure which one. not a ferrari fan to poncy for my liking. have a tricked out exige for track days with a super charger one of those paris dakkar style off road bobcats (the indestructable landrover on steroids that you can drive off a cliff) for things like paris to dakkar etc. not sure what else i'd get. but i'm sure i could think of something. and i'd probably still teach, but maybe part time so i can still claim my government pension. but i'd probably setup an apprentership scheme for difficult kids to come and work with me to train them up to do something useful.

were those pics taken up at the air field ?

welcome along buddy

stunning to watch, absolute nutter
