  1. Partbox drop their prices?!?!?! you may get a £5 off if your lucky +1 but I was offering silly money for the Cosworth plenum You too...... LOL!
  2. Kenwood LZ-702 in mine and its pretty clear, unfortunalty as it just uses the yellow video input your never gonna get ultra high quality but refresh is pretty spot on... Works well with the KOS v500 unit for a nice tidy video install with other inputs and outputs....

  4. Nope, box is off, took it off to fit the 5zigen grounding kit, got the pop heat sheild on though... fits with the pipe work though!
  5. Ah yeh!!! Aquaplaning to the wales run!! I remember it well!
  6. Its nearly always wet at Combe or is it just me that brings the rain Did it rain last year???!?!?!
  7. No probs Greg, happy to help! Funny enough I may have a Pop charger and a typhoon up for grabs soon when they come off the car.. may be at the end of the month!
  8. My thoughts exactly lol However I was watching this but am not expecting to go for it because it will no doubt go for at least £600 come the final minute and I just can't justify paying that for an 18 month old system and have a feeling most of that cost is just for a name (this is just my own personal opinion though). But it does have the best sound I have EVER heard on any system. It is a lovely exhaust and if I had the money would definitely get one. Re issues: the only issues I have heard is that the Y-pipe can potentially crack if you decide to fit decats or hfc, although I have not found much info backing this up when I asked this a while back. Any ypipe can crack if you use unsupported hiflows or decats.... it also depends on how you drive the car and if you track it. Saying that I have run with unsupported kinetix on a 5zigen y and not had issues, the 5zigen is off now as I scraped the flexis to death... Nismos are made by fujitsubo and its not just a name (IMO), its R+D and materials used... It prob will get to £600 for an 18 month old zorst, but that just proves that good products will always sell. if you buy it for that you could still get about £400 after another year to 18 months I recon.
  9. Looks like JAE 2010 is being held at Wickseed Park 9-12th Sept this year. Works well for me its only 20 mins down the road at a leisurely pace. Max Hope your car isnt lowered......
  10. If you have got condensation, removing the floor mats and the boot mat and drying them inside for a bit will help... Also when you turn the heat on and recirc on to get rid of the condensation, open a window a little when driving for the moisture to go somewhere... Also it has been discussed that the a/c can auto revert to recirc rather than out / in when you go to the defrost setting... something to do with holding the centre and left buttons in for a few seconds till the light blinks... think it does it on the 08's on but it may do it on the 03+

    Other car!

    Izuzu isnt it? Mate had one of the only ones in the UK about 10 years ago, drove OK. Wasnt it based on one of the other Izuzu 4x4 chasis and then supposed to look spaceaged?/
  12. Worn out all round? Or just on the inside edges?/ Did about 10k on my last lot. They were down to the cord on the inside edges though...
  13. Anyone that thought their car was worth say, £15k in August, and now thinks its worth £18k is deluded...... That was straight from the Nissan dealers, and was the 6 months from June to Dec, think parkers and the other places reflected that in there publications.... Possibly more down the bottom end so an 8k car came back up to 9.6 and a 10k to 12k The 15 to 18k jump may not have been as much due to the cost of the 09 ones dropping as martin said (after all you could have picked up an 09 GT for 22k at one point...) so it wasnt accross the board on the 20% increase...
  14. Not a seasonal variation.... Prices of the used Zeds went up 20% in the past 6 months and have sat at a bit of a platau, they may go up a little more towards the summer esp if they are lower milage..

    Spec?

    Have always thought that with a bit of metal work you could make quite a cool pickup out of a zed and loose some weight off the ultra heavy boot! Loose the back windows and the boot hatch, get a rear window out of an MR2 so you then have the rear windows and the rear screen in one and then fabricate the metal work surround to connect up behind the speakers. Remove the sides from the hatch and weld back on so you keep the lines from the side. Do the the mod on the strut to turn it up side down, chuck in some checker plate (size may be big enough for a small jacuzzi!) 350z pickup done... Off to phone the Big Dawg himself, Tim Westwood and see what he can come up with... If he cant then am going to phone the bigger dog as he will be able to sort it... Oh and in request for your pic...

    Interesting!! I guess you are meanign doing something like this? And this is as good as I can find! As you can see.... hard to fit a dog in too!!! Only issue is, how you gonna get rid of the strut to make it into a useable "truck" space?

    Directly beind the seats or in the but behind the speakers?
  18. Yeah, this was quoted for the full front bumper change by Nissan - Croydon. Noted that Ancaster Nissan (High Performance Centre) gave me a CNC Panels in Sydenham to have a look at it tomorrow for a quote as they do their main body work for the GTR's, 350's and 370's down there.....so I am hoping its going to be a half decent place But hopefully I can get a few more quotes from anyone who knows of anywhere within a 15 to 20 mile radius of Bromley The old man offered to drive my car there, but can't have him driving too far or it won't only be the front I might be replacing....... Are ancasters a HPC now I got a quote od CNC when I needed my door ding sorted.... (well more of a dent!!) CNC wanted about 1000, crawley down nissan wanted about £1800 and at Johns it was about £500 and that included a black roof and a couple of other stone chip touch ups!
  19. Works out to be 251.2 Yep there is a difference, as its due to the thickness of the walls esp straight off the manifolds, reason whey there is a difference in price. I think Ian has japspeed decats on his so he can let you know from his experience. No rasp on my decats (posted a vid somewhere on here)... thought I did but the flexis had gone in my y-pipe... there are also some heat sheilds above the stock cats that can be removed if you run decats that have been known to cause a raspy noise.. Remove or a little seem weld can sort things out..
  20. Yep it can remove it with UPREV! (and they do make some topend depending on how they are mapped ) Panels, HKS do a good one I think but never tried it... If you want to stay with the panel one, find an 06 air box from someone that has a pop charger fitted.. they perform better than the 04 ones
  21. RJN in Wantage any good? They are pretty handy with the 350z's... Its about 42 miles away from sailsbury...
  22. Harsh... LOL! The first response wasnt harsh.... and the op still thought the idea could be done... after that harsh, but deserved (IMO) as it continued! Glad you and the other +'s think its something to be laughed at! Harness in the front perhaps but still not the best place.. If you got a dog you need some type of appropriate transport to ferry them round in... wouldnt have thought it would have done the interior and exterior much good as well as the resale value! Its also not about the driver driving like a spoon, its about others on the road... a shunt from behind and you will have 4 stone of bulldog sailing through your front screen, a shunt from the front and you got a dog bouncing off the strut and back into the drivers area! Bulldog isnt exactly going to jump up into the boot so you got to lift it and as I said before you have to get them into the front area and they arnt going to get a bulldog under the strut... All in all a stupid idea!!!! You chose to join in
  23. Dan (dcash5) with a scorpian is on here, 2nd one nismo y-pipe fitted now and sounds much better! And he will tell you not as loud as a K1!
