  1. i've had cats all my life, had one shot once, he walked around with the pellet in his side till he was poisoned. had one kicked in the head and lost use of one of his eyes once. that was all done by old men who like bumming pigeons...... moved house now and my cat will not go over to my neighbours place (mechanic - lots of cars kicking around), i think that has something to do with his rotweilers. you could try gettin one of them, or any dog for that matter. cats tend to keep away from dogs.
  2. thats what i thought, also felt a bit of a creaky feel to the clutch earlier. took it to the dealer i got it from, he pulled it away in 6th, ragged it down the dual carriageway and back, i explained what and when it was doin it and he said the clutch seemed fine and he was confident it wasnt that. they are ringing their man who used to work for nissan to see if he has an idea. whats the bets the clutch goes on my way up the a1 to college in the morning?
  3. i am getting whats sounds like the same problem, say i'm sat at 60 in 5th behind some chump on the motorway and then he moves, if i plant my foot without changing gear the revs shoot up by about 1000 then back down then the car accelerates gradually. have tested this with every gear and it does the same. any ideas or anyone northeast fancy meeting up sometime and seeing what they think? cheers p.s. search is my friend
  4. shame but fair enough, hope you find a buyer.
  5. hmmmm.... just a thought, see how much it would cost to get it delivered and if its reasonable i may have to get this from you, it will fit on 05 jdm right?
  6. i like the fact its an import and i want people to know it is, not sure why, thats just how i feel i got the nurrish nav and asked him to sort out the jap buttons from the original so i can still have them and just have one as an on/off switch, just cos i like the look of them.
  7. price i got was including taking wheels off and all that jazz, just a case of dropping the car with them. might be able to get it cheaper, looking into it now, friend of a friend kind of arrangement
  8. good find thanks, ordered.
  9. if the lettering is seperate it wouldnt matter. whats with the red under the lettering. ok so i just had another look, the red is the back you peel off right? and the blue bit is just how it comes so you can line it up straight? where you find taht and how much? found one on a site here but the wanted about 50 quid, didnt think that was right
  10. mattbowey

    TAX!!

    JDM 05 - £435 for 12 months, this cant be right based on what other people are saying, or does it depend how ong its been in the country?
  11. cheers guys the quote i got was for powder coating, sorry i didnt mention it. will have a look at your wheels sunday dene and see what i think.
  12. previous owner removed the fairlady badge but left a little lonely Z all on its own. he didnt do a very tidy job either, couple of marks on the paint therefore i am looking for a fairlady badge, havent been able to find them anywhere though. any clues?
  13. i just got a quote today to get my wheels and door handles sprayed black. pro job, 255 squid for the lot. gloss finish, think i would prefer a mat finish but apparently is harder to match them up well. this ound about right to everyone or a rip off?
  14. got my vote but you've got some catching up to do on the classic, has nearly 50%. good luck man
  15. bt wont be rolling out the fibre in my area for a long time and the line that runs to my house is terrible. they have replaced sections of it on numerous occasions but will not replace the entire line. so it just gets worse soon as they leave and we have to go through the whole ringing them and booking an engineer to come out again. very annoying.
  16. just getting new tyres on my fronts tomorrow. had it 2 and a half weeks and the tyres are fine, pretty deep tread left, over most of the tyre, just the inside edges are like slicks. will get the alignment and all that jazz checked out too.
  17. have you ever looked where the other end of the cable goes to? maybe possible to swap it outcompletely, hmmmmm, may have to have a look
  18. i believe its some kind of phone connector, anyone know if its possible to change it or get an adaptor for a different phone type?
  19. aye looks good. can only see his sig pic like
  20. makes sense. was thinkin about just painting them black with the cf look tbh, to match the black badges i want to get, would prob have to get my wheels done too though
  21. if you'd like a set i can do some for you but i think its a case of forming an orderly queue. you'd need to paint first, then you need to allow time for the paint to harden between coats and before applying vinyl. so you'd need to be without door handles for about 3 days. if you do it properly. why does it need to be painted first?
  22. right... i like the arrow, just to be sure you know which end to plug in
