  1. Just remove the s from https.
  2. MESSY oil changes could soon be a thing of the past, if a new technology from lubricant specialist Castrol takes off. Called Nexcel, a car's new oil and filter are contained within a single box, known as a cell. A mechanic can simply unhook some pipework, lift out the cell and install a new one – in just 90 seconds. The demise of the 20-minute mess-making enterprise should make car servicing cheaper because of the time saved, and Castrol is also saying the Nexcel system helps modern engines to produce less carbon emissions. It has been tested in extreme hot and cold temperatures in cars ranging from the smallest to the largest and most powerful. The system even continues to work under high g-forces, having been tested under 1.8G of braking – the equivalent of stopping from more than 60mph in just 1.6 seconds. Paul Waterman, Castrol CEO, said: “We believe this is the biggest leap forward in oil change technology in the history of the combustion engine. “It’s the result of almost three years’ work but as soon as people see the benefits in emissions and servicing as well as the substantial environmental benefits, they will ask why it hasn’t been done before.†Any drawbacks? Well, at the moment the Aston Martin Vulcan is the only production car to be fitted with the system, and they cost about £1.8m each. Castrol plans to expand the Nexcel system into mainstream cars as soon as it can.
  3. This post is about convincing Colin to have his AMG remapped, that would mean a lot more swearing from June next year! So back on topic, Darren, help me out!
  4. A 2004 silver 350z
  5. :lol: Whaaaaat? I can't hear you, sorry! Text me!
  6. By the way, did you guys drive backwards or something, where were you all that time?
  7. Told you, Alan!
  8. Let's just think this through out loud: HOUSE < CAR Buy wheels now, get house later
  9. Another daydreamer... No, it's when I overtook Colin and went ahead, waiting about 2 minutes for you guys to arrive :lol: You were behind the Laaaaaguar: I was on my own for a very long time, felt sooooo lonely! :tumbleweed:
  10. Need to catch up with Callum, he's got the SC sitting on his desk at work, looking beautiful
  11. Used UpRev cable, works on both 350z and 370z vehicles that have been UpRev-ed. Details here: http://uprev.com/secure/store/management/uprev-interface-cable Software is free from here: http://uprev.com/secure/support It can be use to monitor parameters, write a new tune/map sent by your tuner, check and delete errors / check engine light ON. Extra: License on cable - Ask your tuner to build your map and email the ROM file to you, you can upload it in your ECU. This is a good option for guys doing supercharger installation, having a base map before you travel to have a full dyno session. You will only be charged for dyno time, no license fee, saving some pennies £200 delivered
  12. :lol: Just realised I've replied with Hi John, while his name was George!
  13. New feature added, live chat
  14. Sadly not haha On shift as per usual...making the pennies so you can take them from me Well, hurry up then, I've already order your SC from Vortech!!!
  15. Jeff, are you not sleeping yet?
  16. ARK has arrived, Berks on their way
  17. The will be heavy duty ones, comparing to the OEM ones. Being length adjustable, those eliminate the preload on the ARBs.
  18. Colin, it's been fun waiting nearly 2 minutes for you to catch up after that overtake :lol:
  19. Brian, you have replies, a lot of them!
  20. The plenum spacer kit is supplied with spacers and longer bolts to raise the height of your strut to accommodate for the height increase of spacer. Also if the page says £159 it will be £159...never any hidden costs with Adrian As Jeff said, they come with spacers and fit the OEM strut bar, not sure about the one you have, but if that's made not higher than the OEM one, there won't be a problem with the fitting. The price is also correct. Adrian
  21. Martin, are you sure that cheap? I'd price them at least £1200! Best wheels for the 350z in my opinion! Love them, had them on my 350z
  22. Even if he's keeping it standard, still the best car forum to be!
