What difference would you notice if you turn off the traction control (apart from the car wanting to climb trees on wet days of course ). Are you introduced to a little more power, is the accelerator more responsive or is there nothing more than keeping you on the road (which is a good thing by the way ). I’ve tried it but cant really notice any difference.

Agreed, hate the majority of them especially the Audi (too much like a xmas tree). Like the 911 and the couple of the 350z converted side reflectors (incorporated not on poking through). If we have to have better visability why not just brighter side lights (if indeed DRL's have to be brighter than side lights)

The picture itself can sway you. If you can find a place to park in the evening with subtile shadows and street lighting then Id say the black would look best as you walk to get in the car. However if the picture were of the car in daylight, possible on your drive then I may well think the standard silver is best. I wouldnt like to decide on a posed this picture like this.

No, pre-facelift and Nismo V1 only. Does that mean they wont fit a 2004 standard bumper? You have a pre-facelift car YES its a 2004 and as you may have noticed I also have a wooden head. Apologies must have misread it.

I think this may well be a song by Englebert Humperdinck if memory serves. It begins with the back up singers going whump whump whump whump into their mics while he comes in with “Please release me let me goâ€. Yes Im nearly sure that’s it alright! Sorry for not taking this seriously but I’m sat here, lap top on my knee, watching some daft ballet the wife wants to see on TV. Ho hum----please release me let me go for I don’t love you anymore ----

Isn’t practicing and making the baby a nice little interest to have:lol: I’m to old now for such things as sex and would rather have a good curry these days.

My handbrake's been the same from new, so always left it in gear on a hill. My main dealer doesn’t adjust the handbrake when changing pads. Last summer I did the pads and handbrake myself. I stripped the handbrake assembly instead of just adjusting it and was pleased I did. The reason was I was able to clean and lub where necessary but more importantly I found the handbrake shoes looked to be “glazed†over as did the brake drum. I wire brushed the pads and drum to rough them up and brake the glaze, reassembled, the handbrake's now tick idy boo . By the way if you just keep pulling it on harder each time you'll end up needing new cabels as well

CONGRATULATIONS on the news A family is way way more important and rewarding than a Z

Is that right, changing the flywheel when you change the clutch plate? I can see the logic of doing both together if both are worn but surely a metal flywheel will wear more slowly than a clutch plate which after all has a wearing surface. There must be a thickness measurement that can be taken from the flywheel to give you some guide how long its got before a replacement is needed as with brake disc's. I had thought a flywheel would out last at least a couple of clutch plates (assuming you don’t do racing starts all the time) before needing replacement? This is written more in hope than with practical knowledge as mine cant be far away from needing replacement

I’m in the process of having some corrugated asbestos sheets removed from a old garage roof. My local council said if I bag them and mark them Asbestos they will collect and dispose of them FREE Might be wort checking out as asbestos removal can be very expensive

Was the guy sitting behind the wheel extremely handsome, highly intelligent and rather suave looking???? Then it could well have been ME! Problem is I have neither a nismo kit, spoiler or K1 exhaust -----------BUT I COULD GET THEM

Oh Yeah! I can hear you say even up here in Newcastle, but I did actually figure this out while watching some crap film on TV last night. As you have all guessed (long before me) the ty-wrap had to be on the inside So this morning I did the deed and it worked beautifully and I’m well pleased. So much so I’ve been trying the rest of the day to get photos off my old phone onto the pc so I can post them but without success. My daughter will home soon so I’ll see if she can sort me out. Edit: This is the one I bought (cheap but looks good, if you like that sort of thing) Now for the handbrake. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CHROME-BLACK- ... 3a6c649356 Thanks for all your input lads

Thats what Ive done but it looks NAFF. Time for some lateral thinking

OOOPS must have pressed quote instead of edit

Assuming you have transport of course

As the others have said also Lake Taho is worth a visit, its not to far and well worth a look.

How did you finish off the leather gaiter at the bottom of the gear knob? Just fitted mine from ebay but it doesn’t provide any means of securing the gaiter to the base of the knob. It seems the gaiter is supposed to stand up on its own accord (which it doesn’t). Pushing the gear lever forward exposes the gear lever shaft. Had to hold it in position with a black ty-wrap which aint very pretty. Not much good with the old computer but will try to post pictures later so people can learn from my mistake. It wasn’t expensive (and that’s probably the problem) but I think it looks good, just a pity they couldn’t have designed it better.

Thanks

Anyone know where I can get a drivers side wiper arm. The plastic aero deflector bit on mine has broken off. I’d need to win the lottery to afford one from the stealers
