  1. Just as a guide Nisno LMGT4 19'' wheels £1200 per set plus tyres KW Variant 3 coilovers £1123 Cusco sway bar set £395 Full Nismo kit ( high quality replica) £900 plus painting fitting Nismo Exhaust £850 5Zigen Pro-Racer exhaust £795 JWT induction £95 Various other induction kits available with polished or carbon intake pipes budget around £195- £250 Hope that helps
  2. B&M short shift is £85 but be aware they can vibrate, just change from the standard gear knob to something like the Nismo, gives a similar shortening of the throw without any issues. JWT flywheel is a pretty good option at £315 All kept in stock.

    35 is the recommended pressure
  4. I have just read through some of the small print from 3 of the couriers we use and all state clearly that in the event of a claim they will not accept signing as 'unchecked' as being valid. It also states any damage should be reorted at the time of delivery and the driver/delivery person must sign to verify the damage noted. As a side note it has taken two hours of reading small print to unearth this information from their terms and conditions, seams pretty obvious they want to hide behind it, interesing that all three used exactly the same wording.
  5. This needs to be reported to scorpion, second one in a week that has had fitting problems.
  6. that should be easily repaired.
  7. I would concur with a lot of Guy's comments. It baffles me that we can have products shipped thousands of miles from accross the water and then they travel 10 miles in the UK and get trashed. The disclaimer situation with couriers is also a nightmare as most will knock back any claim once the parcel is signed for, despite couriers not wanting to wait for parcels to be opened and checked. The situation is exasperated when the customer then feels disgruntled(understandably) that if we were to say sorry its your fault for signing for it, not our problem, we then get slated. The simple fact is that any goods sent by courier require checking before a signature is given, if the courier kicks up a fuss then refuse the item, it is our right and yours and is a stipulation on their contract in accepting the contract for delivery. Sorry this is a bit long winded but as with Nemisis in this situation we have been left out of pocket many times in order to keep the customer happy. Just as a guide we have ten claims alone from last week some of which are items we will have to wait another 8 weeks to replace, and thats another story altogether.
  8. packaging is a difficult issue as if items such as this are boxed often they are more likely to be mistreated as they have no idea what is inside and heavier items get loaded on top, we are often advised that if there is a certain exposure they will be treated more carefully, still doesn't always work though. A lot of items comming from Japan tend to come in crates if you are ordering in volume so no boxes at all. We had two items last week both to the same customer that were damaged despite being packed very carefully.
  9. dont get me started on couriers
  10. We contacted them some time ago as their location is listed as Heburn which is only 3 miles from us and we always like to know who is operating in our area and needless to say they declined to give out an address to have a look at their operation. We also had a couple of customers who asked if items could be collected to save the risk of courier damage in transit and again they said no pick up was possible.
  11. I am pretty sure they have just downloaded almost every manufacturers catalogue and price list.
  12. DBA are good quality discs, dont have prices here send me a PM and I will give you prices tommorow. Headlight brows are real carbon but can be painted.
  13. Our preference would be as follows:- Ferodo DS2500 £175 full set Performance Friction £200 full set. The eyebrows we supply at £65 pair
  14. Dont worry about the EBC's Jim ..I have them fitted for 18 months now and done a Silverstone session as well..no probs at all.. very impressed with them..also less dust than the OEM items..I certainly would fit them again (in fact I have a set ready on the shelf to go in for next time ) +1 Dont worry, Redstuff ARE better than OEM. Greenstuff Aren't and there jus not suited to the Zed due to its power and weight. Redstuff are a good road/fast road pad especially considering the price. I had them on my Zed and currently use them on the rear of my current car. So - Are the redstuff's ok for Brembo Brakes? Not for a turbo car as your sig indicates.
  15. Sorry to say it but bedroom operators with a comprehensive website.
  16. would like to know where you can get headlight covers for £20, also if he's had the alignment checked why not get it set at the same time, something doesn't seam right, might be wrong.
  17. Yes full kit, plate,cover and bearing even the centering tool.
  18. Good result £250 delivered is our standard price for the clutch kit (Exedy)

    Grinding.....

    could be something trapped between the inner disc surface and the shield especially if you went onto loose ground or the shield may be rubbing on the edge of the disc check its not out of line.
  20. We know we dont always get things right but we do try and are working hard to put right any shortfalls. We also try very hard to resolve members issues with their cars when they are having problems. One such case was with Mark (Squarehead) who had some issues with brakes which had been going on for some time and thankfully a solution was found without any money changing hands. This morning we had a courier arrive with this really made our day, Cheers Mark
  21. Eibach 20mm spacers bolt on hubcentric 350Z specific £185 Eibach spring kit £185. Both in stock.
