  1. Just checking my car over before starting the engine swap & noticed this when taking the rad and oil caps off. I'm thinking probable head gasket failure? thoughts?
  2. if you dont want another money pit stay away from the Skyline. If your staying Jap the Supra is better value but dont forget they are 20odd years old now and due to the increase in prices of these cars, the increase in spare parts are rocketing also. Compared to what I broke my Supra for, prices now are insane. German cars are good fun, I've got an A5 as a daily and its great, Just wish I could have afforded to run an S/RS5 as a daily

  5. Something happened. I wasn't ready for this, luckily my wife is understanding i was planning on building my own TT kit next year (Thanks to ChrisDrift on YouTube for the walk through and inspiration :)) but I jokingly said to TT350Z that I would buy his TT kit if he stripped his car, He wouldn't strip his car but he did offer to sell me the entire car - so I bought it And here we have both Zeds together outside the JDMWhore's soon to be new home its a bit rough, but I only want it for the TT Kit and Forged engine everything else will be for sale and the shell will probably get scrapped - unless someone wanted to make a generous offer on a rusty rolling shell I believe the spec of the engine is - hopefully Adrian @Torqen can confirm this as I believe the block came from him.

  11. I've got an Audi A5 for daily duties. Auto box, 2.0 TFSI and pretty much every option you need. Super comfortable, not too bad on fuel and moves along at a fair pace when needed
  12. You should just give up and sell your turbo kit

    Need to get my garage finished and then start restoring my 350 to former glories
  14. Less than a week after buying it back, I ordered a new exhaust setup. * Tomei Titanium decat pipes * Tomei Titanium Y-Pipe * Tomei Titanium Exhaust Quite honestly, this was stupid. I like my cars to be loud but even by my standards this was ridiculous. I was embarrassed to drive it and my Mrs hated it. The car spent a year parked up outside my parents house whilst we saved for a house. Once we had finally moved into our new house, I chucked a new battery on it, gave it a service and a Cobra (i think) exhaust and I was back on the road. I've toyed with selling it over the past few months due to the impending birth of our first child in February - but I haven't found anything that I want for the money I would have to spend. My wife though, is keen for me to rekindle my passion for cars and to have a project to get my teeth in to Once my garage has been finished, its time to start the project At the moment I am leaning towards another supercharged build, however I do still have some 2JZ parts left over
  15. So, shortly before selling my car I had a photo shoot done for Japanese Performance magazine. After selling my Z, I went through a number of cars (R34 GTR, R33 GTR, Supra TT, 2JZ 350Z, Impreza STI, R33 GTR, R33 GTR again!, Integra DC5. Then in August 2016, I decided that I had to have another Z but not just any Z - I wanted my Z. Luckily the person I had sold it too still had it, although he wasn't looking to sell it - I made an offer that was accepted and I picked it up for the second time at the end of August. At this point, it still had the DC headers fitted, it also had Berk HFC's and Invidia Gemini Exhaust - everything else was standard..................................................
  16. Had a photoshoot of my Z a few years ago for Japanese Performance magazine and came across some of the sample pics today Hopefully get the full hi res versions soon
  17. As per the Y-pipe sale, ,y wife hates it as its too loud Less than 500 miles since fitting it, its a little dirty but its in perfect condition £650 As per the other thread, dont really want to ship this either.
  18. There's usually one behind the wheel My Audi A5 has no dip stick either, its annoying, how am I supposed to know how much to top up when I need to top up ffs
  19. Definitely reccomend it, They arent the cheapest but they do everything you need
