  1. Oops. I told the garage 4.7 I used a standard one (non-nissan though). Cant remember the name of it, it just came up in my local motor factor shop's big book - for a Nissan Fairlady. So, im guessing as i checked the level cold and it was pretty high, its gonna be over the maximum marker 10mins after driving... If thats the case - how do i get a bit out?? I can spend an hour and keep pulling the dipstick out and wiping off a bit at a time... but if i take out the sump plug the whole log will go wont it?? Arghh!

    350z sold

    its probably going to be a 911 or cayman for me next, really didt like the cayman at first but its definitely grown on me nowt wrong with the carrera rob +1 Its the natural car to go to next. And i agree - i hated Cayman too (Gayman, as they were originally known!), but now i want one (cayman, not gayman !).
  3. Hey all, I had my oil changed last week, and im now paranoid about the pressure gauge. When i check the dipstick when the engine is cold, the oil level is closer to Full rather than the middle of the marker. Then, until the car is warmed up, even driving slowly my oil pressure gauge is maxed out - which is worrying me. When the car has warmed, things seem better, with it idling at roughly 1/3rd the way around, but it does top out when revving high (normal i presume). I had a new filter fitted at the same time, and i have the left over oil, so i know they didnt use the whole 5 litre bottle, but am i at risk of damaging something (such as seals/gaskets) if the pressure is that high??? Chris.
  4. I have a US drivers side headlight on my car. The connector is the same as my original JDM unit.

    Ebay wheels

    Actually - they told me mine were +35 all round (which would fit as mines a JDM) - but when they arrived, the rears were +35 and the fronts were +20 i think, which was a nice result!

    Ebay wheels

    The tyres they offer at that price are Nexen I think they can do Kumho for a similar price, but i paid just over £200 extra to get Falken 452's - which i think is a must.

    Ebay wheels

    Hi mate. I got my wheels from these guys, and i wasnt very pleased with the service... They kept telling me 'They'll be with you in 3 days...' even to the point that i booked 2 separate days off work, for them not to arrive - in the end they took 6 weeks to arrive - by which time most of summer had gone! And i never got a single call from them - i had to phone them repeatedly. In addition to that - they were virtually forcing me to have these tyre sizes that i didnt want, and were the wrong size for the car - but i said i'd cancel my order unless they gave me what i asked for - which they did in the end. HAving said all that - i cant fault the product. Im still very happy wih the wheels and tyres, and most importantly - the price! I would use them again - but i'd know not to expect the best service
  8. I disagree mate - i'd still take the car at that. If someone told you you needed 1500quids worth of work doing on your car, you'd tell them to go f*ck themselves. And with zeds now - he'll have already lost a tonne of money on it in depreciation - he's not gonna just give in like that! Get it bought mate!
  9. I agree - that does look pretty daft as-is, but im sure i remember a thread on here ages ago discussing the actual kit - and everyone liked it? (I could be wrong)... But i certainly remember this page - which shows how it should look when finished link
  10. Hang on a mo - is it actual christmas day for you now... seeing as you're in the future??
  11. In this cold weather, and with the cheaper petrol now (i can afford to drive like a tit) im getting 240ish. Can get over 400 when being v.conservative though.
  12. Yep, merry christmas folks. I feel sick already from all the bad stuff i've eaten!
  13. Jeez, im glad i have a JDM and dont have to pay to keep my service history looking nice! I had an oil change today, supplying my own oil and filter (filter was £5, oil was discounted price of £30 from ESR). My mate at the local garage did it for free and stamped my book (but i bunged him 20quid anyway). Have a pop charger, so no filter to change, and i can top up my own washer bottle!
  14. I've had no problems at all, using firefox on vista.
  15. Jay, im loving it. Especially the spoiler in black. Did you not consider doing the mesh in the front in gloss black though? Thats what i've been considering doing... if i get that bumper!
  16. Oh, right. I didnt follow the links... Anyway, Rota's rule!
  17. Think i've just seen the same 04 plate parked in Tesco - carded this time!
  18. Get some black Rota's. They look like Nismo's, but better IMHO. If i was buying wheels again, thats definitely what i'd get, no questions.
  19. Thats a good price. I have these in 19's and like them a lot.
  20. 1: I prefer breasts to legs. 2: Tying the legs together keeps the inside moist. 3: Smother the butter all over the breasts. 4: If I don't undo my trousers, I'll burst! 5: I've never seen a better spread! 6: Are you ready for seconds yet? 7: It's a little dry, do you still want to eat it? 8: Just wait your turn, you'll get some! 9: Don't play with your meat! 10: Stuff it up between the legs as far as it will go. 11: Do you think you'll be able to handle all these people at once? 12: I didn't expect everyone to come at the same time! 13: You still have a little bit on your chin. 14: How long will it take after you put it in? 15: You'll know it's ready when it pops up. 16: Just pull the end and wait for the bang. 17: That's the biggest bird I've ever had! 18: I'm so full, I've been gobbling nuts all morning. 19: Wow, I didn't think I could handle all that and still want more.
  21. I hate you... Having said that - christmas is about being cold... i'd rather do something like that in the summer!
  22. Hmmm.... thats the first time i've thought it looks good... impressed!
