  1. I have 65% tints on my bmw, the only time it can very slightly reduce visibility is on an unlit road at night. But even then it hardly makes any difference to your visibility. The only drawback is at junctions etc I have to flash other cars to let them go or say cheers, as they cannot see my wave etc.
  2. The key off ebay will not work as many different types for zed, especially JDM's & also need to findout NATS code from Nissan Japan. My link below will help: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3350
  3. Which other normally aspirated engine can produce 346bhp from a 3.2 litr engine thats in the current E46 M3. Thats 108 bhp per litre. Not only that but it can be driven like a normal everyday car as long as you keep it below 5k revs, you'l never know it had such a powerful engine. ps I am a BMW driver & drive like a tos$er, but I also drive also my zed like a tos$er!
  4. Looks like a smaller version of the ill fated Bugatti EB10
  5. Cheers Tim Not too sure about the plenum?? Cost weighed up against amount of performance increase, plus cases of melting plenum covers ??
  6. They are currently $369 plus shipping on their website, is that the reduced price you were refering to? http://www.kinetixracing.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=5
  7. Great pics & location!! Where was that in Herts? ps please get rid of that massive white tax disc holder!
  8. Got mine form Chris, looks great completely changes the ambience of the interior (that word comes from watching too many home improvement tv programmes!!). ps though with mine (not sure if same with others) the bulbs are bigger than original ones & blue glass section ends up going into metal clips on holder meaning the metal contacts on bulb do not touch metal contacts on holder. (on 1 side) This is as blue glass is fatter than the metal contacts at the ends. But a simple fix by wrapping a bit of wire around one end of the metal contacts at the end of the bulb. Hope that confused all of you
  9. Cheers for the info Tim, I will let you Sarnie if so
  10. Kinetix High Flow Cats: As the title says, would theyr be any advantage in a mini group buy between interested members from Kinetix USA or shall I just by it myself from Kinetix. Any ideas, comments.....
  11. Yeah it was one tough car, though slightly unlucky,...2 years before an enormus showjumping horse sat on the passenger side wing & kicked in the door, a good £1.5k damage & the rider got out of paying a penny! Even this incident above is still unresolved 1 year on.
  12. Looks good at first glance from the pics
  13. If anyone (Stew)else interested here's the pics & info : http://forum.bmwcarmagazine.com/viewtopic.php?t=38360&highlight=smashed+dead
  14. Auto watch is @*!# I had it on my M3 for 4 years & gave me no end of trouble. Toad is better, but Clifford is best but big bucks. I went for the Autowatch with dual proximity sensors (inside & outside car) with 2km pager. This was good while it worked for the first few months, i.e if somebody came near your car it would inform you on the pager, or if someone opened the door it would tell you on the pager. But it starting going faulty & eventually I disconnected the outside sensor. This was mainly because the sensor was adjusted by an twiddly knob which was rubbish, Cliffords on the other hand are digitally adjustable. It would be ideal if possible to use the new alarm to do everything but not sure how that would be possible with the 350z key/fob. Toad is also quite good.
  15. Not too sure about the cheap fog light conversion for SVA
  16. I did the same thing on Thu, kebed the frnt drivers side wheel about 5 inches while trying to squeeze past a dust bin truck!! Should have known better, my stupid fault. But my chipsaway bloke only charges approx £35 to £40 per wheel, which is not too bad.
  17. Sorry a bit late with the info on this, just saw the topic! Fujitsubo is made by the same company as Nismo & shares some of the manufacturing bits & bobs. It is very similar to Nismo but a lot more expensive depending on which one it is. There are about 3 or 4 different types availiable for the z, the seller doesnt tell you which one it is. The cheapest is an all stainless steel one which is about £600, the most expensive is the Super Ti which is all titanium & about £1500 approx, & a Super Ti Hybrid (which I have) which has a stainless steel back box & tips, the rest is all titanium & is approx £1000. They also do a couple of Race exhausts, non road legal (I think legalize r ones). The one on ebay looks like the all stainless steel one.

  18. Lomtoto & Dj Dunk, you'v done us proud with those pics! I like this forum!!

  20. Thats not fair I dont even have the std rays !!
  21. If you want to treat her get Kinetix cats & true dual exhaust instead!
  22. Great finish, especially like the air vents, though I wonder what spraying the strut brace in chrome would have looked like also? Mine is also scratched, may try it myself
