    Oh god, I hope not So much fugly there. A stock GTR isn’t exactly pretty, that’s just rolling it in glitter.
  2. Wouldn’t remotely worry about it. Assuming the mapper was decent, that is. Performance won’t be hugely affected either way.

    Quick, someone pass the industrial size eye bleach!
  4. Nope, ‘cos I can drive properly Alex is right, chuck a pic up.
  5. You can ignore the W numbers. And thanks to the power of the internets, you can order tyres online now so it doesn’t matter where you live However, and this is dependant on the exact wear of your existing tyres, you may have to replace all four. This is because if you put new tyres on one side only when the other side is already worn, you’ll create a dangerously unstable car. How worn is too worn? As a general rule, I’d say anything over 1.5mm or approx 3k miles depending on driving style.
  6. Personally, I think you’d be wasting your money if you go down that route. All you need to do is to get a pro to polish your car once, then apply a coating of whatever takes your fancy. If you’re then happy to do the basics yourself, and do it well, you simply won’t need to hire a pro again. Saying that, waxing really isn’t something I’d ever pay someone else to do, not when you can do it yourself in an hour once a month (and that’s dragging it out!).
  7. It’s plug and play. If you can connect a usb cable to a computer, you can install one of these.

    NISSAN GT-R50

    This car marks the one occasion where a ridiculously expensive car is released, and all I want someone to do is to buy it, never drive it and tuck it up in a garage never to be seen again
  9. Fairy liquid and a kitchen scourer for me innit. When you say “professional valet regularly”, what do you actually mean? How often, and what are you expecting them to do? Who are you going to use?
  10. Just be aware of the massive dynamic shift you've made by running same size tyres front to rear, as in be alert for snap oversteer. IMHO bin/flog them and do it properly, don't risk your whole car (and have to twinkle around!) for the sake of a set of rubber. 30mm should be fine without needing arms, but every car is fractionally different. I'd feel comfortable going with that though.
  11. Whatever you want, really. Spring almost always specifically tell you what drop they give, so just work out how low you want to be then order the ones to suit. Don't go too low or you'll need adjustable camber arms though, I'd stick to 30mm or thereabouts. What tyres are they, btw? Size and make/model? Not saying they're wrong, I'm just curious as I can't read it from the pics and it's annoying me

    Is it a rush to the bottom with Japanese car styling at the moment?! I'm shocked Nissan let them do that tbh, that's utterly revolting from every single angle.
  13. Would it not be better for Ducati to manufacture them, rather than wire them up for sound? Just checking.

    How not to polish a turd. Although the interior is a definite improvement, so not all bad.
  15. This thread is making me want a Ducati.
  16. Mate it’s your car, do what you like I meant the reply more as in that like any other car ever, just changing an exhaust never requires a remap.
  17. That’s not high mileage at all, not on an unstressed V8. I’d be more worried about suspension components needing replacing, or clutch & fly etc.
  18. I'd happily buy that, then use it as a daily
  19. I’ve not seen much change at all, tbh. Anything I want is going up still, al the stuff I don’t is getting cheaper but it always has. I’ve not noticed 350s changing price at all, what are VXTs sat at now then?
  20. Please don't ruin this one
  21. Dan does. Dan had been on the beer when posting that
