  1. I'll be dropping her off with Abbey when I head to work (work on a ship) and picking her up 2 weeks later. Im hoping Mark will be kind enough to take loads of pics throughout so I can post a full build thread when I get her back. First thing we're finding out is how long its gunna take to get the GTM kit from the US.
  2. You sure it wasnt Nixy.....eliminating the competition maybe?
  3. Ho = lilsheepshaggerturbo on here. Lives in Cramlington I think. We bought our Zeds at the same time, and spent about the same amount of time at ESR!. He can never make the meets as he plays football on a Sunday.
  4. Just a quick update. This project is still very much on. Me and mark in contact and sorting out the best solutions for what Im after. Currently trying to figure out what to do about exhausts as the 5Zigen is only 2.5". So we're thinking about cutting it out from manifold back to the twin cans and putting in a single race cat, then duel pipes back to the 5zigen cans. We're back to the GTM 500bhp tuner kit. Will be fitting a RFS too. Well into 5 figures now......
  5. next time Lexx, were you in wheatley hill on saturday afternoon by any chance, neighbour saw a white zed with a body kit and said it looked awesome, might not have been you like, cheers man, will go through the faqs for best way to keep them shiny later on. getting very angry with stupid college work atm. Im betting that was Ho
  6. Im glad you didn thave this fitted on Sunday Matt. You'd have deafened us all!!!
  7. I saw the first pics and thought "Spacers, for the love of God man, Spacers!" Then I saw the last comment. Looks good mate
  8. I hate being a vulture, but I'll have these pal. How do you want payment?
  9. I have tried to take a few pics of this, but I have a crappy camera phone, a Pearl white car, and its sunny. So nothing will come out right! Where the drivers wing mirror mount meets the drivers door, the paintwork has started to bubble. I was through at Falcon Performance getting a squealling brakes issue looked at (top service from Steve as always), and the Nissan Stealer is just around the corner, so thought Id call in and get them to have a look for warranty purposes. Guy came out and took a few snaps. and has sent off pics etc to Nissan GB. If Nissan aggree to sort under warrenty, which curely they will, do I have to get a Nissan Dealer to do the work? Thing is, I dont trust any of them as far as I can throw them. And especially when it comes to paint work. What are the chances of them being able to blend Pearl White onto the door without it looking a state? So, am I able to get someone else to take car of it and charge Nissan? Falcon are a Nissan Specialist, so would they be able to do the work? On another Dealer note. Whilst in there they had a Black 370z. So I went and had a sit in. Got out of it, and salesman on a nearby desk (who didnt bothe to get his fat arse outta the chair) said to my back - "So, you gunna get one?" Told him I was uncertain, but may considering part-exing my 350z for one. "it's be much better than your 350" "Really?" "yeah, it looks better, goes better, sounds better, and the interior is better" "Oh right. Well, I have the 313, so there wouldnt be too much performance difference. I just need to decide whether to part ex, or to Twin Turbo the car I have" "What Twin Turbo, we dont sell a Twin Turbo 350" "I know, it would be a conversion. Looking at 500bhp" "Would you be able to handle that kind of power?" At this point, I just looked at him and said "bye". Clearly didnt want a sale as he was still sat on his fat arse.
  10. You're English, you're screwed.
  11. Exhaust blowing? hard to diagnose without a better description.
  12. My White one was parked outside of there today. Though obviously with that statement, I am saying mine aint silver!
  13. See, for me its a difficult choice. Im Hartlepool born and bred, and thus its a Bacon Sarnie. But, I lived in Glasgow for 4 years, and have worked in Scottish waters for most of 2009, so I also call its a Bacon Roll.
  14. My God man. There is an entire forum for you to look through and browse and get ideas. And there are probably about 100 threads identical to the one you just started. Search Button is your friend mate
  15. I'll be running circa 500whp when it's all finished. And its gunna cost somewhere in the region of £15k Thats with the GTM twin turbo kit, fitted to a HR engine
  16. No, he said it deffinatly wasnt louder than yours apparantly!
  17. I was chatting to Mark on the phone yesterday, and he said your car was LOUD! Im looking forward to seeing it tomorrow, and having a good natter about my FI plans
  18. Just washed the car. Dont know why like, it'll be covered in bugs by the itme I get there tomorrow!
  19. I just happended to be have my camera in hand when I heard the tyre squeel. Last corner, of his first lap. IIRC he had no track day insurance, so all the other OC members chipped in to repair it for him.
  20. Yeah, this is what can happen......
  21. Im contemplating a last minute trip down there this year. Went in 07 and 08, but missed last year becasue of work. Thougth I was gunna miss this year too, but managed to wangle work off at the last minute. Bonus of working for a ferry company - free crossings!!
  22. Good price, for a great piece of kit. Everyone I know who has bought them, has loved them. Way better than the Tein SupperStreet I have fitted IMO
  23. Unless it's a BB gun, I'd ask for your donation back!
  24. possibly, although I think it could have been a Nismo V1 front nose.
