  1. How would you like it if I offened yours or a member of the family

     

    Personally, i couldnt care less, so gimme your best shot. :teeth:

     

    Its :

    - The internet

    - a forum

     

    Every non-technical thing which gets posted on this medium is for me "non-relevant", meaning that in the best case it will make me laugh, but i ll never get upset or feel personally hurt by something a random joe types on his computer and posts on the net, even if it would be insulting my gf/family, or ... even worse ... MY CAR :rant:

     

    :p

  2. Maybe his gf likes it B):teeth:

     

    may be you wanna shut up :angry:

     

     

    Ehm, .... NO? :teeth:

     

     

    Some people take the internet a bit too seriously i guess :p

     

     

    Ok, forget what i said about your GF (if it offends you ), i'll put it more directly....

     

    your new gearKNOB looks like a vibrator (imho, and apparently not only imho :surrender::teeth: )

     

    But hey, les gouts et les couleurs .... B)

  3. For those interested.

     

    The spacers on my car are Eibach. I sent a mail to the dealer asking which brand spacers it was (and this sunday whilst my car was parked i saw by accident that the spacers had the eibach logo on them :D ) and in his reply he sent me the TÃœV report on the usage of those spacers on Nissans (including the Z).

     

    So here you go

    Open the page, wait 30 seconds, click the link, and then you can choose to download the file.

     

    Sorry, webspace not working atm :blush:

  4. Yeah, i ve got the car like this from the dealer when buying it new and i guess it wont be that much extra work to check the wheel bearings for wear when changing the wheels (which has to be done 2 times a year anyway, when swapping summer and winter wheels).

  5. So basically this seems to be too extreme? Maybe i should go for smaller spacers?

    What are the ET's of the nismo 19" wheels?

     

    I guess the problem is that by pushing the wheel outwards that you get a biger torque on the wheel bearings, because of the distance between the contact point of the wheel and the road, and the bearings increasing?

     

    Getting confused :wacko:

  6. I knew i should have taken pics with a better cam instead of my phone :teeth:

     

    The contrast is all wrong, its like my friend saying the wiper on the rear windscreen looks crap, whilst in reality you hardly notice it. :blush:

     

    Ow well, :yahoo:

     

    Your friend is spot on!

     

    My friend saw my car today for the first time in the flesh :teeth:

    And he was pretty amazed by it B)

     

    He had a drive with me and he was even more amazed, both about the sound and the handling B)

     

    I must say i m impressed too after some "spirited" driving today (floored her a couple of times today after about 30km of driving gently to make sur the car was completely at working temperature) the difference with the TT when coming out of a bend and stepping on the accelerator is pretty big.

     

    The acceleration is quite different to that of the TT, much more linear, no turbo 'kick'.

    Acceleration at illegal speeds is much faster than in the TT

    No more understeer-madness :yahoo:

    The soundtrack is also :yahoo::scare:B)

    The fuel tank is HUGE

    GPS is working very well, disabled the voice dough, drove me crazy constantly interrupting my music (i m used to no-voice GPS, had a Garmin GPS V some time ago ;) )

     

    My bluetooth adapter seems not compatible with my QTek phone dough :/ Pairs without problems, but no sound when using it

    :thumbdown:

     

    And my iPod interface does weird stuff too. My iPod nano goes from the menu to the screen "ok to disconnect" and back all the time, and sometimes it stops and then i can use it and it works normally, until the next time i connect the iPod to the car again. Same @*!#. Maybe its the firmware update of the iPod ... Downgrading now and trying again tomorrow. :wacko::scare::angry:

    Too bad you cannot control the iPod from the radio. Gonna move the iPod in a more accessible space (the center storage thingy where you can have 2 cupholders).

     

    The sound of the Bose isnt really much better compared to my TT Alpine head-unit + audi standard speakers (except for more "kick" bass sound). But maybe i need to fiddle a bit with the iPod equalizer, dunno. I seem to miss some treble. Playing with the Bose Eq didnt help (imho ;) )

     

     

    Tomorrow to the Nordschleife, meeting with a friend whos gonna test his Porsche 930 with 964 engine + compressor on the ring

     

    I m happy :yahoo:B)

  7. Well i must say it isnt the best of places ... its too far to the back when sitting in the car.

     

    Luckily the holder isnt installed yet, only the connector. I m gonna ask to relocate it to the cupholders in the middle, that space can be closed too and i m not gonna use those cupholders anyway ... as i seem to need to be able to manipulate the ipod itself as there is no radio integration whatsoever.

  8. Ok, seem to have 25mm spacers on the back and 15mm on the fronts.

    It sure looks nice B)

     

    I just would like to know if it will be problematic, e.g. how much does this differ from having much larger wheels?

     

    I currently have rays + spacers. Whats the difference in ET etc compared to 19" nismo's without spacers?

     

    Just being a bit worried about the safety of all this, coz i am no expert on the matter and i dont want to get into trouble ....

    Ow well, :yahoo:

     

    Forget about the wiper, sort out the aerial!!

     

    Looking very nice mate apart from that :thumbs:

     

    Aerial is already ordered (did it some days ago ;) )
