  1. Can you get it jacked up? Shouldnt be difficult to find the culprit. Not heard of it being a problem before. Usual suspects such as ZMANALEX will be worth a PM
  2. Oh really? Colin is sorting the Saturday I am doing the Sunday So everyone calm down please. We wont be anywhere near this on either day. Sorry Sir, with Colins talk of reccy runs, I thought he was giving you a well deserved break this year
  3. Yeah no worries, he's very techno savvy for a
  4. I would ask what they are doing to repair it, but if it fixes it I would say its a fair price. You're looking at atleast £500 for a retrim, nearer £1k down south for a pukka job. Mine went like that, so I ended up with some Recaro's Nissans leather truely is shockingly cack if not maintained regularly from new
  5. Chill people, the route hasnt been finalised yet, so we can easily avoid most of the problem spots. As Chris says the only place we are likely to see traffic is on the A5 so we will avoid it as much as possible Will make sure Chief Route Engineer Colin knows about this
  6. Geometry makes a much bigger difference than you ever think. Mine was only slightly out, but my rear wheels were both pointing off slightly to the side in the same direction (like / / ), and once it was sorted, it felt so much better! Amazing what you are missing if you dont get it done! Bit like a remap, small change can make all the difference to the driving experience
  7. i'm going to aim for the first week of my easter hols, which will be in about 4.5 weeks time, but i still need the bloomin plenum before i can go. where is it? On a coal boat somewhere??? Aye what you been waiting on? Only took 3 days for FedEx to get me some goodies from the States, dont know how people can stand waiting weeks for smaller bits to come in, just get it air freight
  8. Nice one mate, thats very tidy. The sound quality will be much better than a transmitter too
  9. yep defo a great idea. why dont you see if a tuner is willing +1 You could always see if Abbey or RS Tuning are up for it? Would certainly be interesting and get a whole load of issues covered off. We could also post up the good questions from the transcript as a kind of FAQ too
  10. Good progress Dan, let us know how the next dyno session goes with the modified intake/plenum
  11. Well we dont really have the resources in the admin team to put 100 test users on there, hence we let rip and let you lot on it to stress test it. Give feedback in the other thread and we'll see what we can do to speed it up
  12. Maybe slightly high, but not far off
  13. Saw those pics today.. pretty dam good considering he used a torch!! He used a torch! Need to read that thread Here was me thinking Dan would be off to spash a few thou on flash/lighting equipment!
  14. so a pint a week interesting way to look at it Not really that much when you think about it like that! not really Seems like a lot on the face of it, but given the running costs of a car like this, its not a lot in reality. Didnt realise that the plate was done on date of manufacture and tax on date of registration. Thats good to know
  15. Underdrive pullies mean they will "drive" whatever systems are attached to it less than the current one, ie the pullie will be smaller and each revolution of it will spin the attached pullies less. I think they are used on cars which rev more than stock and thus when they get up the rev range, dont overdrive the attached other bits and bobs (alternator, AC, etc). Thats my take on it, someone more knowledgable will be along to correct me if wrong Basically unless you know you want an underdrive one, you want a standard size.
  16. I concur, looks like Malware to me. Spybot and Adaware should sort it
  17. Happy Birthday! Ahhh but whos fastest? Only one way to find out .... RACE!
  18. Oh doooooooooooooooooooooon't, he will be unbearable They're teasing me atm as the system says it will be ready for collection on 21st/22nd May, but apparently its wrong and it will be July. Thats mean
  19. I say we do a drive by
  20. My understanding is imports reg goes by the date it was imported, not by the date of manufacture. Hence why there are loads of import owners that moan that they are in the higher tax bracket when they import after 06 but import an MY03-05 car.
  21. Bit of a grey area, it will void your warrenty on any bits that it effects, which in reality isnt a lot. Any decent dealer should be happy with it TBH, but they could try and use it as a get out clause if something goes wrong, as most will wrongly try and deny any warranty claim because of it. A quick bit of shouting and you'd be ok though Yah, feel a bit better now. Also googled and found the following and it looks like it would be illegal (breaking EU law "'Block Exemption Regulations 1400/2002'") for Nissan to refuse warranty work as long as the exhaust being used is of equal quality to the stock one. Yup spot on
  22. Good man
  23. +1
  24. Nice one bud, I'm good thanks, 350z modding has stopped, but 370z modding will commence in July I would put the adjuster like the pics in that thread above, but I would just fit them under the trim on the strut bar, they are dead easy to pop of if you want to adjust (10 sec job) but keeps the stock look.
  25. Love the sleeker look of the Zed with a Nismo kit but without the Nismo spoiler
