  1. Yeah but your about 130
  2. Buy a decent Y-pipe Common fault with the Nismo pipe. I run decats for 4 years with my Ichiba y-pipe & never had any problems with the flexi
  3. Happy birthday Nix
  4. Thats not a NOS tank Its the tank for the air ride system, white panel contains the switches for them
  5. 7-7.5k I bloody hope not! You will get higher than that. Might want to sell the wheels and other bits tho. A proper lovely looking motor mate! GLWTS Easily worth 9k IMO If it was a JDM then maybe 7.5k would be right but not for a UK GT pack car
  6. Ian

    Name this kit...

    This
  7. Kill with fire, lots of fire & nuclear bombs. There are no words to describe how I feel about that kit
  8. Forget the 10k. It can be done that cheaply if you just want the basics & prepared to wait for a bargain My s/c project came to roughly 13k by the time it was mapped
  9. It will be a 34 or a 35 if my shares keep rising Found the perfect GTR a few months back - £24k, 60K KM, Pearl white, 19" RE30s, Ganador Mirrors, Nismo Exhaust, Coilovers, GReddy BBK & some HKS filters. I just couldnt shift the Z in time or afford to put down the deposit to import it & take a chance on it Still looking though even if I do get sidetracked by looking at other stuff
  10. Didn't GTM develop a S/C kit for the HR motor? edit: http://www.gtmotorsports.com/product.ph ... 258&page=1 here it is. HKS also have a kit but I'm not sure it was ever released
  11. Yes, but they were taken over by another company. They don't sell cars anymore though, which is a shame because they had some GTRs
  12. Sounds about right, I paid £250 to have 5 windows done on my C2 a few years ago
  13. News this morning was an unexpected bonus, the major news is still to be announced by the end of the month
  14. No doubt it can be done DIY, but a lot of people on here struggle to tie their shoe laces, nevermind install a set of cams I agree When I was considering upgrading, I was looking into a BBK as the cost wasnt hugely more & they look nice Aaah but then we take into account the fact that I was running 255/285 x 19" & much much lighter wheels & also with the mods I had a much lighter car (although I would probably make the difference up again ) As above, struggle to do shoe laces I think the U.S guys reckoned 12 hours to install cams? I'd definitley look at doing it DIY if there was a proper guide for it (There wasn't the last time I looked but there might be now) Simple reason for getting rid is that I regretted not going TT at the start There was sod all difference in cost but I bottled it and went for the safe option that & the fact that after 13 years chasing a GTR I will finally get one I'll be back in a Z one day though As for being a "baller" - nah don't believe in it, I'd been saving for years for it. I'm just lucky that I only have myself to take care of at the moment & get to spend my spare cash on myself Anyway, back on topic - I'd go ahead & get the MREV, its £400 & you will gain a bit more from it
  15. Love the colour I reckon the 370 looks better as a convertible than a coupe
  16. The point I'm making is that its a relatively cheap mod to do & will atleast gain him something You may well be right re: the cost of it, its not something I ever investigated Brakes - compared to what? like I said, on a road car stock brakes (or even uprated disks & pads are fine) IMO on a road car a BBK is overkill & you know how much I love overkill Suspension? I'd fancy my car to hold its own against yours on track Cusco coilovers & arbs weren't just for show You can pick up a set of BC cams new for about £700ish but the point about installation remains As for the cossie, that was just baller I actually cried a little when I sold it
  17. Makes much more sense now
  18. Comparing £ to HP you think that cams are better than a lower collector? Lower collector is roughly £250? and cams are rougly 3x that amount - before labour naturally Also don't forget that the HKS kit comes with its own oil supply & oil cooler & I believe cookbot already has an engine oil cooler Stock brakes are ok on a road car IMO, my car held up just fine on stock disks & pads and cams are a bitch of a job as are headers. Stock headers are also pretty good, certainly good enough to flow 400+ hp & definitely well enough to justify keeping them over the cost of a 10 hour labour bill just for install alone - the only reason I did them was because of the retarded cheap deal I got on them Lower collectors are also not designed for the DE cars which is why Nurrish never used one
  19. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who's the daddy then? Pity I chickened out of buying at 8:05 when they had gone up 4% since opening and I thought, "nah - I'll buy them during the lunch-time lull" and they'd gone up 20%. was a good day
