Should do ok ~ doesn't get too hot and there are lot's of other bits in the engine bays painted in non VHT paints. Ask wizurd in a few months as his engine cover is dipped, "sticker bomb" style. Link: http://www.350z-uk.c...firmed-zeditus/ If you sign up to their facebook page you can see loads of work they have done on engine bays (and see their pretty extensive facilities, they are certainly no 'one man in his garage' outfit)

All the rules of science thrown out the window! Matter simply becomes nothing. Send the Golf around the Haldron Collider see what happens!

I think you would need nicely spaced/offset wheels that fill the arches, nismo style rear wing to make it work nicely?

They make stuff for lots of car makes, they don't have a great reputation on the Skyline forums - their stuff is known to be way out and need major alterations or simply sent back (for you to then try battle your way to a refund).

This is the best photo I could muster of the button surround they did for part of my dash - has that glassy, polished look. I think it complemented the paint work quite nicely.

I think its valve stem seals that can go as a common cause of oil usage and burn, but this would results in blue smoke out the back. I would speak to a couple of the aforementioned guys who can give you a more complete answer! (not saying the guys you spoken to are not competent)

I agree mate, sent my dash off to them from the VX and they had to scrape off all the adhesive, polish it back flat, prep it, put the colour down, lay the carbon over it and lacquer the whole thing. Very impressed and it looked a million dollars. So much better look than vinyl.

Nice work fella. I used the same company to put red carbon graphics on the dash on my VX220 - very good bunch, they even matched the red carbon shade to the red paintwork on my car!

Seems a lot of cash for what is tantamount to just getting a nice noise? From what I have seen of the Nismo its only just a bit louder than stock, you would need HFCs or decats to make it roar a bit more, but thats more cash...

Scuse my basics, but how is it 'burning oil' if there is no smoke?

Is the oil light coming on and then you are changing it, or you just checking on the dipstick? Any smoke out the exhaust? If so what colour? Any signs of oil stains on the engine/underneath? Try laying some cardboard under the car overnight and seeing whats on it in the morning. Im no mechanic or expert by any stretch but getting some of these answers before calling up the guys would help hone the answers they come back with.

Are you hearing the sound from a video or the like? Cant you just get a company to fabricate you an exhaust to make a similar sound? Heard some good stories about custom exhausts.

They did the skirts on my Skyline, again not cheap but decent enough work on the car. Your first quote seems pretty good for a full (windows out?) respray?

Have a good one chaps!

Not bad

Was going to say, looks like you are burning through just one side there...or just too many donuts!

Having used clay a lot, slightly sceptical...will let more people have a go and stick my tried and trusted for now!

Reckon I will be able to afford an Eleanor in my lifetime...although anyone who says the 350z is their ultimate "dream car" is lying! (sorry to be harsh people!)

From what you are describing we should write off light flywheel chatter, it shouldnt sound that bad...

Coloured bolt set would really set the engine bay off too

Super stuff! It does hook you! And it mutates! I have had VXitis and Skylinitis which are variants of Zeditis since as well!

From now on, you are 'Sad Dan'

Dangerous driving carries a potential for a 2 year imprisonment where drink driving only 6 months in very extreme circumstance. Both offence in this case goes hand in hand with the more serious being dangerous driving by virtue of being drunk. If someone is drunk walking down the street and swinging a baseball bat around as a crowd approaches and some police get in the way and get hit its a jail term. Why do the courts just not recognise the seriousness of drink driving? As far as I am concerned the woman in question is on a charge of attempted manslaughter minimum. If she couldn't even stop when she saw a set of headlights heading towards her she was clearly a massive danger to the public and chose to take that action. She is a pathetic and worthless piece of crap that should be chucked into the slammer and be taught a SERIOUS lesson, none of this 'oh you can't drive for a couple of years' nonsense.

Remap. Better driving experience all round. I can live with crap music, bumper car aerials and the like!
