  1. Yup if they are perfectly balanced, then I would guess it something to do with spiggott rings. Either they are missing or you have them on when you dont need them. I made the mistake of one of my Rota rings being stuck to the hub when re-fitting my Rays and that caused judder. Also meant that when torquing them up, I had to keep redoing it. I'd whip the wheels off and see if any have spiggott rings Although I did feel it on my Rays at about 30MPH+ so started at a lot slower speeds
  2. Absoultely spot on. So many people wrongly assume they should give the same result. DynoDynamics try to compensate for this by having all their dynos hooked up to the net to share results and download updates to the software which is very admirable, but rarely works. As Adam says use the same Dyno and try to keep the conditions the same (temperature, humidity, etc). Make sure you get a base reading too, dont assume Nissans power claims are correct
  3. Sorry, all my money's going on IoM trip and harnesses. However if you did buy it, I promise I'd come play with it! Yeah yeah whatever! Lewis, bully Ben into buying it. Stick an Evo shell on it and he'd have it
  4. Love too chris, but im in the same boat, just blown my spare cash on the Z, gotta be careful for a couple a months now! How about I send my money for your exhaust direct to Lewis? You have no choice then Plus you can mod these little beauts much cheaper than the real thing! Cracking deal Lewis, hope it sells soon. If my new contract had come through I might have had it (missus would go mad) just so I can have someone to drift with me at meets
  5. Agreed! btw, phosphorous grenades will be great for booby traps, hehe. incase anybody is wondering why, it's because phosphorous will stick to the skin and burn due to exposure to air. the only way to stop the burning is to submerge into a body of water. So if one of them goes off at head height, then your choices are limited to drowning or burning to death. Spread the love dude
  6. But could you stand me starting over again???? I've got plenty of pics to post Think I need to brush up on my PHP skills to make an auto Sarnie post removal tool
  7. Yup they did for me. But if they arent taxing it for you, then they dont need to see your insurance. Thats the problem in this case! They have made a big balls up, and I'd be tempted to repor them for it. Not only is it illegal, its down right dangerous for you as it invalidates any insurance you have. I would be demanding a years tax off them for the hassle they have put you through and the fact that you cant drive the car until the tax arrives.
  8. Hmm tempting. My seats need a retrim.... shame they're 3hrs away
  9. Agree with the above, your lucky that they didnt come upstairs or anything. I keep a Maglight (4D nice and heavy) next to me at night and that would be used as defence. I think if you have your missus or kids in the house, so long as you dont mame or kill the little scroats, the law will be on your side. Was just the other day talking to our neighbours about getting an automatic gate for our cul-de-sac. We are quite lucky as we live in the corner and there is a decorative arch you come under to get into it. We might all chip in and get a gate on it to stop the scroats getting in

    My New Lip

    Thats not bad given the rarity of it. I didnt mind paying so much for the Varis when hardly anyone had them, then a batch landed on the other side and everyone has them Still mines mattered and bruised now, so I'm not so bothered. Hopefully the little cut back bit in the middle will help you with clearance, thats the bit that catches most on mine.
  11. +1 - everybody has to try them with the lights off and think they are broken, its a right of passage
  12. Wouldnt have thought it would be too difficult to have a random banner. I would give it a few weeks before expecting anything though guys to let the admin get our current performance problems sorted first
  13. Someone who comes to the Reading meet (Ad!) get this bought. We can have drifting contests

    My New Lip

    Nice, I like that a lot. Along the lines of the other carbon lips, but different enough to look individual, nice one
  15. Yeah, bit odd wearing on the outside, usually its on the inside from my experience. Dodgy tracking most likely, or are you hooning around corners faster than you should?
  16. Yup, I'm with you guys. Coolant heats up a bit quicker than oil, so wait for the coolant to level off and the oil pressure to drop, then we're off! One thing that amazes me is how long the Zed keeps its head when turned off. You can leave it a good few hours and the coolant is still warm when you get back in. My old cars always went cold within an hour.

    Exhaust broken

    As said above, go for a Scorpion from CS, cheaper than a Nissan backbox and stainless so will actually last. Improves the look/sound/flow at the same time aswell. If you fancy a new exhaust (and who doesnt) then thats the best option. However I still stand by the fact that you can have it welded if you want to save some cash. Dont listen to Nissan, they will just throw parts (and your money!) at it until it works. Wouldnt be supprised if they tell you it needs a whole new system! Welding is easier and cheaper, and if dont properly will be better than OEM no doubt!
  18. Should have said, I would only have it as a second screen (ie LCD for normal viewing and projector for movies). I know its more expensive than a plasma on its own, but I can dream
  19. At least carbon is sturdy stuff! I scrape mine all over the place now, given up caring. Really shouldnt given the amount it cost and how much it would cost to replace now Is it an original UK Nismo bumper? If it is then its only fibreglass so any damage should be repairable.
  20. Yup agreed, for anything over 37" and HD, it has to be plasma. But they tend to be more expensive, so I would still go for LCD for the cost reason alone. I have a 40" LCD and if I could afford it I would have the plasma, but you know what, 1080P projectors are around £900 now, so for the price of a decent plasma you can get a good projector. That wins hands down!

    Exhaust broken

    Very common problem, I'm getting a Nismo fitted this weekend as mine has just gone too (albeit did a bit better, a 53 reg with 62k on the clock). Most use it as an excuse to get a new exhuast, but the most economical thing to do is to get it welded up. A few have done that with good results. Dont involve Nissan unless you have money to throw away!
  22. Snow show
  23. don't think you'll get white noise that way, you'll just get black or blue Can sometimes turn that off in the settings, but its probably more hassle than pulling the arial lead out! Unless the TV is flush against the wall of course. And of course you meant to say pull the arial out of the TV didnt you Liam, not the Sky box. Pulling it from the Sky box will just result in a "No Signal" type message. You want it on good old analogue terrestrial so you get the snow show
  24. Wouldnt know unless I told you Guess he's being honest!
  25. I'll let Jay do the honours
