  1. The ones Ive tried have initially been quite comfortable but I didnt fancy them for hours on end. Go with an ergonomic office chair, if you still want the race look then try something like http://www.sportseats4u.co.uk/brand/pro ... _1196.html, they are office chairs made to look like race seats and are proper comfy
  2. Ummm, Sasha, that appears to be a list of the best Hypercars ever, and youve missed out the Veyron, F40 and AC Cobra. This is why lists like this are pretty pointless (although nice to see the Integrale made it in )
  3. Furry muff, this page: http://www.rotationuk.com/gbu0-prodshow ... _y_rf.html says they are in stock, but I will admit Overfail. Ahhh, jesus, Ive just failed at posting the Overfail pic as well. Ill just go with a megafacepalm instead.
  4. A steering wheel should be dead straight after alignment is done unless the car is bent. Nicked from elsewhere as I couldnt find the words: "Steering center is controlled by the front and rear toe settings, when setting steering center, the rear toe should be set first bringing the Thrust Angle as close to the vehicle centerline as possible. the steering wheel is then locked in a straight-ahead position in order to set the front toe." Basically, your man hasnt set the rear toe properly, but has then used it as a guide for the front. Although the wheels are all relatively speaking pointing in the same direction, the steering wheel being off centre indicates that relative to anything other than themselves, they arent. Or something like that.
  5. No probs, I searched and it came up with that, computer obviously didnt listen to me properly I know you are sorted now but for anyone else: http://www.rotationuk.com/gbu0-prodshow ... _y_rf.html
  6. Sorry, didnt read first post, that was for a standard Z Anyway, £186, not that bad if you ask me, if you choose to run 265/19's then youre going to have to dig deep to pay for them: http://www.camskill.co.uk/m55b1870s341p ... _TL_/RS_GB
  7. Unusually, Im with Ekona here, despite all of my tyre abuse and crazy non matched ideas I wouldnt run two different brands across an axle. Ive just checked, Camskill have T1-R's for £100, whats the problem?

    confussed

    That website is about as much use as sending a letter to Jim'll Fix it. The Nismo version is just cosmetically different, there are slight differences between the UK and JDM versions and there sure as dammit isnt a factory turbo option

    New wheels

    Nice to see someone buying some good fitment off the bat, they look great. Id definitely be going at least 10/15mm lower, it would look even better IMO and I dont think you would have any clearance issues
  10. Blitz Type 03? I had a set on my convertible Onevia, dont think they would work on a Z33 TBH ....... I dont think they make them any bigger than 18's either
  11. Yes you do Mikey, its the brown/beige one with the Rabbit shagging a duck decals.
  12. The wheels in that pic are Work Equips, Ive got a pair for sale in fairly similar sizes available if you are interested ....... Tell me about your Rays, model, size, offset, tyres, condition and Ill tell you what they are worth I
  13. Ahhhh, happier times. Half of UK Drifting learnt to drive there Aye, the ending is invariably "My engines broke" or "I crashed it", both of which are just going to cost mroe money
  14. Actualy grip difference between a 265 and a 285 isnt *that* much though ........ OK ......... Get the Bridgies then, the Toyos are good for the money but nowhere near the RE050A's
  15. Guys, I should warn you now, this guy is very diseased and also quite retarded. If you see him just throw Haribo at him until he goes away, DEFINITELY avoid close proximity/conversation/looking for too long at him at all costs. Welcome Mikey, this place is a bit more civilised than DW, you might notice a slight difference
  16. Wanna go halves Dan? You can have it in winter and Ill have it in Summer ..........
  17. ShaTING! http://www.driftworks.com/forum/wheels- ... heels.html
  18. Ive sold 4 cars to them now, all for more than dealers offered as trade in.
  19. Agreed with the other guys, but be aware there is no time limit on holw long it will take to get your excess back ....... Im at 2 monthsd and counting and apparently the legal intermediary still havent acknowledged receipt of the claim information .........
  20. Im on the committee of the 200SX owners club and currently have a 350Z, an S13 200, a Silvia Convertible and an an older S12 Silvia, Ive also driven lots of Skylines and tested a GTR not too long ago. Am I a Nissan fan? Kinda like Neil, I can appreciate what they have achieved with fast, affordable cars (the 350 particularly) but they dont have the same effect on me that an old Alfa, or a Mk2 Escort, or any Ferrari at all does for instance As for what Nissan do for us, SXOC at one time had over 2000 paid up members and another 2-3000 regular board users and we didnt even get replies from Nissan UK to questions we had asked. Generally speaking the dealers are not very knowledgable (with some notable exceptions) and part prices are ridiculous, its definitely not that making me come back every time If you are specifically looking at Nissan then you have to consider drift racing IMO, about 3/4 of the competition cars in the UK are either Skylines or 200SX's, if you want actual "fans" thats where they are.
  21. Yep, exactly the same, replacing AFM fixed it. Be aware though, there is the full assembly available for £500 odd, or for considerably less you can just get the "card" - this is the bit that breaks. If you want to be sure, just put the old one back in
  22. All 4 Ive driven made a whiny noise on acceleration, I like it and assumed it was "built in"
  23. I was once breaking an S14 out the back of my house, on a slight gradient. We had left the car in gear as the handbrake was rubbish, got it up in the air and started work. A few lads turned up to help, including my brother in his brand new Seat Leon FR, which he parked across the back of the S14 as all the other spaces were taken. Fast forward about 4 hours and weve stripped everything we want, the car is a rolling shell. Dropped it off the jacks and went to light a celebratory ciggy ........ fortunately out of corner of my eye noticed the car was starting to roll down the hill. I literally threw myself throught the open drivers window and grabbed the handbrake, leaving the back of the car about 40mm from the passenger door of the Leon .......... Moral of the story? Even leaving it in gear wont work if you then proceed to remove the gearbox.
  24. Turn the ignition off ......... then turn it back on again AFAIK there isnt any long term resolution and Ive only had it twice in 5 years of owning the car Apparently you can do it while on the move but its not advised
  25. My car has done this twice, once when I test drove it and again while I was leathering round Donington the other day. Its down to the throttle pedal position sensor getting out of sync with the engine throttle position sensor, its fine after turning the ignition off and back on again. If it was plugs then it would only affect one cylinder, if its bad fuel then its unlikely it would make the car shut down but then be perfect immediately afterwards. Ground strap is a possibility but its unusual for them to magically reattach themselves ........
