  1. Having spent too much cash on refurbishing my wheels, new tyres and a new Y-pipe back exhaust, I now find I will shortly need a new clutch. Having looked around I found this item on ebay and was wondering if anyone knows anything about this product. I looks like a decent piece of kit. http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1423.l2649 Thanks in advance,
  2. Just bought a JapSpeed K1 off ebay, brand new with 24 hour delivery for £210. At first looks the quality is quite good. It came complete with gaskets and bolts. I will be fitting it this weekend, weather permitting.

  4. Kinetix Discs And EDB YellowStuff Pads. Out of the box the discs look very good quality, I checked all the stated tolerances on the size of the discs and they were all fine. I fitted the rear discs with EBC Yellowstuff pads Saturday 16th July before being rained off Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday. I fitted the front discs and EBC Yellowstuff pads on last Saturday, I checked the run out with a DTI and found them both to be within 3 thousandths of an inch (0.003") which is within the specification in the manual. I took the car out for a run to bed-in the new discs and pads which removes the coating on the surface of the pads and beds-in the new pads. http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wp_bedinstock.shtml The new discs and pads worked great, there is a very slight noise from the slots and dimples when braking hard but you would have to have you windows open to even notice it. Overall I think they were a great buy for the price. PAK999.
  5. Just bought these from ebay, Kinetix discs with EBC Yellowstuff pads for 350Z with Brembo's, £399 delivered. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FRONT-REAR-BRAKE-DISCS-PADS-NISSAN-350Z-03-BREMBO-/330497004710?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4cf32814a6 Kinetix website: http://www.kinetixbrakes.co.uk/index.html They look very good quality wise and I think they are great value for money.

  6. I am after a new set of brake pads for my 350Z with Brembo brakes. While searching the internet I came across these on eBay; http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290504714170&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Has anyone used them, they look good value for the money. PAK999.
  7. It look's quite good. This Spyker is the uglies car ever,
  8. I thought the government was trying to encourage people to get rid of their old cars and buy new with the scrappage scheme, this seems to encourage the exact opposite. Typical, give with one hand take with the other.
  9. I have just fitted a new set of Denso Iridium Power Spark Plug IKH16 spark plugs, (bought from OPIE Oils for £43.85 including delivery and club discount). Everything went OK and the engine is running fine but the engine management light came on. I double checked all the electrical connectors and air intake tubing and still the engine management light is on. Has anyone had a similar experience to this, I have found the thread on the forum to reset the light but I would like to know what it is first. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    EBC Brake Pads

    I am not a trader but have been looking for a new set of brake pads for my 350Z which is fitted with Brembo brakes. I have read alot about cheap non genuine EBC pads on ebay and decided to try to get as good a deal from genuine brake pad suppliers. After a lot of research I found http://www.ebcbrakes.biz who offer all EBC pads at 10% off EBC listed price. I contacted ebcbrakes to try to get a better deal and they were very helpfull and offered a further 10% discount to the 350z-uk owners club by quoting the following discount voucher code when ordering online: NTFZOC20 The following is a copy of there email: ********************************************************************************************************************* Hi Patrick, We have now added the following discount coupon ' NTFZOC20 ' which will entitle you and members of the 350z-uk owners club to a 20% discount of RRP. You should be aware that the prices listed on our website currently have a 10% discount already applied, use of the coupon will apply further discounts on top of any other discounts already running during the same period. There will be a minimum order amount of £100.00 before the coupon can be used, also the coupon cannot be used during the weekend or in connection with any other special offers, during this period the coupon will be disabled. We reserve the right to revoke the coupon at our discretion without any justification or notification. ********************************************************************************************************************* I have ordered a full set of EBC YellowStuff pads for a 350Z with Brembo brakes which cost £114.30 including VAT with free delivery, not a bad price and they are not cheap imitations, http://www.ebcbrakes.biz deal direct with EBC. http://www.ebcbrakes.biz
  14. Hi Tim, I called Chris Knott last November to renew my insurance on a 2002 JDM coupe and you would not even give me a quote, my postcode is OL10, so I went with direct line. I have a clean licence, three years NCB and the car is standard.
  15. The Kenwood DNX range have direct iPod input (requires additional iPod connecting cable) and USB input for other MP3 players. I fitted the DNX7200 18 months ago and use my iPod all the time, it has a touch screen iPod style interface so you can hide the iPod away out of sight.
