  1. Sorry, £2800 quid for front, 2300 for rear.
  2. What have you priced up there? Don't make the mistake of more pistons is always better either if you're referring to the ZR31 caliper For fronts alone it's 3600 quid.

  4. I'm 35 and my insurance hasn't just gone up, it's become unobtainable. I really am annoyed at it.
  5. Give Adrian (torqen) big brake kits a look. I'll be going for the 405mm 8 pots https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/brakes/big-brake-kits/1654-350z-torqen-big-brake-kit-trq-bbk350.html#/colour-colouranodized01/rotor_type-drilled/rotor_style-standard_2pcs_disc/model-torqen_xtreme
  6. It's a tough situation. If you can, get the family round, have a sit down and a bit of an intervention. Pull out the old treasure chest and the family pics and make him remember why he's on this planet. I can understand from his point of view he may be tired and the thought of daily physical maintenance might bog his mind and spirit down. But try and pep him up and there is always the chance of a kidney donor. Summer is coming. Plenty of bikers out there lol. I'll be one hopefully! Straight out on an R1! So hey, if I crash the pearly gates backwards and on fire then grab one of my kidneys or both. Hell, I'll have a 650hp 350Z too. Survival is looking like a tall order! On a lighter note, I'm absolutely up for America as I'm going anyway for an epic road trip. Seeing as the two of us have experienced very similar things and are a similar age it'd be really good. It'd definitely wipe away a fair bit of grief. did it by myself in 2003 too so it's no biggie. And if the scenery doesn't inspire music then you have no soul! Sounds like we could both add a lot to the experience. I prefer Buckethead to Slash You could always head straight back if you get a call. It's only 13 hours away. Put in place some kind of contingency and I'd bring your gear back if you had to go at a moments notice.
  7. Build quality will have a big part to play. Pulsars are well known for being as stong as a rich tea biscuit in a pool of builders tea. Or a Japanese import on a British road lol.
  8. It's all relative as to what elevates something to cult status. This is why the R34 goes for 40k now. Last of the Skylines and the fact that they're now legal in North America.
  9. Tell me this doesn't bring back memories..
  10. You need to try and change his mind. It's very possible that he can recieve a new kidney and the fact is we can survive with little functioning kidney. My mum had kidney problems for years after giving birth to my brother. She was always taking these herbal concoctions from a guy called Dr Mumby(sp) In the end she had her bad kidney out and the other was like, 25% functioning but she was OK after and no pain. But anyway, get your dad to change his mind as I'm sure the financial side of it doesn't even come into question and it's absurd to think your kids would benefit more from your passing rather than surviving x amount of years. Then... Come on holiday with me in summer for a USA roadtrip lol. 3 to 4 weeks of sun and highway. We'll get Dan to fund it Daaaaann!!?
  11. I was into traditional supercars before GT1. Games like Need For Speed 2 and 3 where you get to drive exotica. Huge engines with 600hp. Then I bought GT1 and got a Subaru and tuned it to 450ish bhp. I thought it was a glitch! Got to the "Megaspeed" category of races and got wasted by a 904bhp Skyline R32! 904bhp from a 2.6?!!!
  12. You're set up then. Music is a big passion of mine but I can barely play the guitar. I'd love to be able to put all my emotions into music and it come out reflecting them. I have so many genres that I like depending on mood. I can get teary eyed when something strikes a chord with me. Sink your soul into that. You'll be able to look back on it in years to come and because it's tangible it'll be more than just a memory. I still have a favourite Album that always reminds me of bad times but somehow comforts me in a way. The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails. Unfortunately all the tracks are blocked on YouTube so you'll have to buy it. I can fully relate to sick parents mate. I nursed both mine through cancer and no one should be helping changing their mums underwear at 26 because she couldn't make it to the toilet so I know it sucks to see them weakened. My c*nt of a brother visited her once a week but got all the praise off family members because he's the older brother who never did wrong and who was part of the same religious group. Absolute tw@t. I do hope your dad will be OK mate. Is he waiting for new kidneys?
  13. The first was good. It created such a subculture that crossed continents. 2001. Corsa with neons and a fat 'zorst with a 57i. Winning. 17's?! You crazy!!! You got a Civic? It's a 1.5 ESi? Still, you can drop an H22 in it and keep it on log as D15. We'll go the scrappy and get a turbo of a diesel Rover and stick it on the Prelude lump. Lol.
  14. Gran Turismo did more for the Japanese scene than F&F.
  15. I think right now mate it's just a waste of time trying to make sense of all that's happened. It's super sh1t that you're in this situation and the thing is, you're along for the ride now. Best to settle in and buckle up and get through this major patch of turbulence because there's no way to avoid it. Eventually you will come out the other side and you will find someone else no doubt. It sounds like you have an active social life. Look mate, it can't get much worse than my situation lol. I've no parents, no extended family and my brother wouldn't p1ss on me if I was on fire. My mates are all doing vastly more important things now, marriage, babies and have zero time for me. But here I am getting through it. Like you my ex was the perfect package. A homely girl, very good career, thoughtful, caring etc. She also said she'd never leave me. Said she absolutely couldn't imagine being with anyone else. That I was definitely the one. Picked a place we'd get married. The whole lot. Then I was booted out one morning, with no discussion, ended up sat on the couch in silence in my old house exactly as it was when WE moved out after living here together for a 18 months, like time had stood still. So yes it really hurts to think back on the BS that may have been true at the time. You aren't the only one mate and I know I relate it to my relationship a lot but I do that because it's a strong recent experience. It's hard as hell, every day is like wading through neck deep tar but it can and will only get easier.
  16. Also, Vasquez and Hudson were both in Titanic.
  17. He was in Commando too. Weird how all the actors in Aliens, despite an epic film and epic acting, none of them made it big. Apart from Sigourney Weaver who I think may have been the first actress to get £20m for a role.
  18. I wouldn't recommend playing games. It all just descends into playground tactics and, women always win simply because it's much easier for them to grab some random guy, use him for a bit to get one up on you. And that hurts. It'll backfire. Also their friends are much more protective and proactive in helping her win that game than a man's mates are by promulgating certain bits of misinformation. Just let it go mate. Be the better person.
  19. I used that very phrase earlier in this thread So did I! Before you did, too
  20. Definitely. I remember years ago in the gym lamenting the woes of my broken heart to a dude I knew there and was like "Maybe I can get back with her blah blah I don't think she's seeing anyone" Hey cut me off mid sentence and said... "Women are like monkeys. They don't let go of one branch until they've got hold of another" And it was the most painfully accurate generalisation I've ever heard. She was seeing someone else. Regarding the 12 days no contact... I'm 9 months into my being single again and it's still painful at times. It comes in waves. Periods of indifference to periods of crystal clear fond memories that just slap you round the face. It's hard. Very hard. What made it harder was me keep making contact. That's the first step on the road to recovery.
  21. That is a really good film. I saw it years ago when C4 was decent and had a late film on most nights. Was one of those times I was bored and just channel hopping and discovered that film.
