Wasso

Say you paid £20k all in for a R35, 50k on the clock (km) would that be so bad. How many people drive import Zeds, I'd buy an important without any haste. Wouldn't the R35 be restricted by the ECU over any given speed like the 350 was?

Convert the yen and it does provide a very attractive price. I don't know anything about importing but would expect charges of course on top. But still interesting prices. http://www.j-spec.com.au/auction/2007-NISSAN-GT-R-6950391.html 2mil yen!!

Superb!!!! She's looking Fantastic!!

A worthy chap

Is it finished yet? It's only 5:30pm here so there's plenty of time for more updates

Dito this. I said to you a number of times I loved your car a year ago. Thing is though Bob, you've made good ground on the engine bay, and you're constantly keeping current with changes. You'll never please everyone, so do what you need to do and not follow the crowd. Although I'm not a fan of the headlights or that terrible spoiler at the back. But that's just my opinion, oh and possibly the rims.

You need to flatten both front ports, the one I have was DIY and delivered the same results as the original, but MUST be used with a spacer also. This must be performed on a pre-Revup lower intake and not on the revup intake as the benefit comes from the shorter ports.

Happy Birthday chaps

Exceeded : 350z - oh wow!! Exceeded : Ford focus (x reg) had this for 9 years far better than I expected hence I had it 9 years and 155k miles. Cost per miles EPIC! Exceeded : Vauxhall Insignia - actually it's not a bad car at all apart from its not exactly a looker. Disappointed : VW Passat - Pile of junk, auto this, auto that, drives like a boat and under powered. Was glad to see the end of that. Exceeded : Nissan Juke - actually feels like a big Zed, all the same creature comforts and sport mode is fun

I couldn't tell ya to be honest, but my feeling is very strong double sided tape.

No bolts purely stick on.

GTFO! Edit

Life is a very tough world, I've lost both parents in the space of 3 years, now dealing with their aftermath, moving house, work stress, life stress, family stress. In fact I'm actually still working (all be it in the hotel and have a five minute wine break), and I can't understand how I keep going! I went to the doctors recently, had my blood taken and blood pressure, turns out I'm actually OK, much to my surprise. Something I actually learnt myself, no prompting, and to be fair it's common sense. If you want something to change, you need to make it happen. The mind is a powerful computer that can play many mind games, from happiness to depression. If I feel down, I do something that makes me happy, and believe it or not just having a chat with a mate and having a laugh makes for a wonderful sedative to pain. There's no harm in seeing a doc, that's what they're there for. Chat, discuss, explain how you feel. They will survey the best option/outcome of helping you along. Work wise you need to stay motivated and say "I will find a suitable job". As soon as you start doubting yourself, and with how you feel, you'll end up being and feeling negative. And don't feel worried about posting your feelings on here. I did the same regarding my parents in April, and it really did help. This isn't FaceBook, it's dedicated forum folk here to help, whether that be a mechanical lending hand, advice on parts, or just discussing life in general. Don't worry you'll make it through the hard times....... be positive and try and find the opportunity to have a giggle and smile.

They are the majority of motorway miles to be honest. I just use the accelerator on the motorway Although I live in the country and 45 minutes are consumed hitting the twisties, so I'm not shy to pull up some tarmac on the corners for braking. I know they're at their end of their life as I've noticed a loss in performance. I've also noticed they like to rust a little more than usual when the rain falls, or after a rainy drive home. For sure there'd be uneven wear on the disk and pads to showing a sticky. Best thing to do is jack the car up and spin the wheel. You'll know if you have a sticky then.

I run the DBA's I think it's the 4000 with DS2500 pads. I've done probably 30-40k miles on them and the grooves are just about still there, getting to the end of their life though me thinks.

Engine, Gearbox, Prop and Diff are all being replaced. The LS3 comes with the t56 but the Sikky kit (USA) marrys everyhting up to be fitted to a Zed. Not cheap but does the trick. Thanks BTW

Come on ADMIN name change in order.....

Happy Birthday to the man that knows when everyone's birthday is I personally think admin need to supply him with an official name Have a great day Borthday Man

I know the feeling oh so well......

Russ, @*!# man that's terrible news, no driving for a year! On a serious note at least its not serious and you can receive medication. It just makes you realise how very fragile we really are as humans. Fingers crossed for you that you'll get the all clear in a year.

I've got brand new ones for sale if anyone is interested seeing that there's a race on for a Wasso spacer

You got it The outer ones secure the tension

I've just replied to your mail, I wouldn't go too heavy on the central bolt. Find tension, secure with the outer nuts, which will retain the tension you set. In creating too much tension you'll hear the strut brace creak, or the bolts on the feet. Make sure also the strut feet bolts are tight (as per mail, not sure on the torque setting).

Might be worth driving around without the passenger seat and carpet so to see where the water comes in. But my hunch is as Keyser says. As well as muck that fills into the water drain channels. Trial and error matey

I found this out the hard way with making the Plenum Spacer, and through trial and error, well I found that manufacturing can be done in a number of ways. The 6 nylon spacers that sit within the plenum chamber are costly, you'd wonder how they're made. My first visit to an injection molding factory. Took my sample, left them to quote me happy and returned to the office with an email..... Excitement! More like OMFG!! £2,400 for the first 120. That made them £20 for each nylon spacer. Okay so that cost included the tooling, but still I'd need to sell thousands to recoup my initial setup costs. But through investigation of process, materials, purpose and requirements, these parts are actually "turned". Still I have to pay a fair whack, because in their terms I'm only asking for 120 at a time. If we were talking 5,000 I'd be seeing a pretty decent discount. The same applies to all the parts made for the spacer, I'm producing these in small volumes because I don't want to be caught out with hundreds of spacers that won't sell. Okay so profit is low, but leftover stock should be minimal once I stop doing them. Manufacturing is very interesting I have to say. I actually found it rather satisfying to make something further improved over another manufacturer, especially as my first ever venture into this game.
