  1. I'm having problems getting mine to connect. I've got mini elm one shown below. I've paired it to my android tablet and the connection starts up but has an ODBII protocol error. I've tried dash commander, carista and torque and all have a similar connection issue. Any Ideas?
  2. As above you won't be paying for it for anouther 9 months, however you're liable for road tax on the old car until the dvla process the change. This can take 3 months. There was a long thread covering this a few weeks ago, it was called something along the lines of dvla thieving scumbags.
  3. I was going to start a thread like this soon. Basically I want the GTRD's in 19" (I know they don't come in 19"), black deep disk 5/6 spokes, so possibly settling on the Varrstoen ES2. Was a bit worried about the rubbing on 19"'s though. I'm stock and don't really car too much about the stance. I don't want to be messing around with rolling the arches or suspension at this stage. I could stretch to spacers if their is an issue with Brembo clearance though.
  4. I'd blame the previous owner of that car And like that he's gone.
  5. My car came with 2 keys but the second key fob has never worked (actual key works though). I've changed the battery but no luck. I'd be intrested to hear if trying the reprogramming guide on the 2nd key would impact the first keys usefulness.
  6. Are your mirrors okay but the casing is broken? I've got a pair of cases (no mirrors), they are silver but its pretty easy to paint them. I brought a spare set to paint black then swapped them for my silver ones, so now have my old ones spare. I'm an idiot when it comes to cars but managed to get a good finish on the ones I painted.
  7. That's cheap, the mirror on its own is £40 to replace!
  8. allways helps to post some pictures with the wheels fitted to the car
  9. Looks great. That front number plate position cant be legal can it?
  10. Try gumtree, plenty of garages for rent. You may get lucky with a large one. Most are looking for monthly rents but I'm sure you can get a deal for a day or 2.
  11. Yep, I thought this was either going to be about launch control or the drug driving limits.

  13. I'd stick a post up on MSE (moneysaving expert) in the mortgage section. Plenty of really knowledgeable people on there
  14. Must have been on the same track day, I agree completly. I also drove a DB9, the ferrari was bar far the best drive.
  15. There is someone on here with a silver car and the strosek (original not copy) in black. I'll see if i can remember who it is. I'm thinking its was the guy with the candy red wheels. EDIT... Looks like it was A9H-RX The pictures in his build thread have gone down, but I picked this up from his Instagram. Any idea what those wheels are?
  16. Free delivery from china... I ordered one for £3.38 but I've been waiting since 12th of November for mine to arrive they sent another one out around the turn of the year, the price was £7.45 by then. Just checked now and its £9.99.
  17. I'll take the rear wiper motor. Mines just started making a horrid noise (presume its the motor!) and for £15 its worth a punt. I don't need the arm. Pm me your details
  18. 3 hours!!! Had mine done for £75 through autoglass, it was done in under an hour.
  19. Where are you based, maybe someone's near who could help you out? You can put your general location in your profile so it appears under your avatar when you post
  20. Tarmac ones £50 http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/93084-350z-nismo-style-b-pillar-garnish-the-good-stuff-now-in-stock/ or try it yourself with a roll of 4d Carbon wrap. This was my effort, I put a few coats of clear coat on top of the wrap.
  21. Finally got round to doing this today. I can confirm you can get to the belt tensioner fairly easily from above the engine so there maybe no need to jack the car up and remove the under tray. I don't have the biggest arms and I also have the Mishimoto fan shroud which makes it easier. I could only get maybe 1/2 to a full turn onto each tensioner before it was too tight to move. Doing it from the top doesn't allow much room to generate torque on the wrench. Could someone confirm that tightening the screw (i.e. clockwise), tightens the belt (i.e. moves the pulley up). I tried to eyeball it but couldn't actually see any movement. I also put some climbing chalk on the underside of the belt, I just coated my fingers in it and brushed them onto the underside of the belt, turned the engine over to spin the belts then repeated the process. As the issue was intermittent I'll give it a week and report back.
  22. Upload photos elsewhere, like photobucket, and the link to them. Hosting the photos here would cost too much.
