  1. Great looking brochure mate, but you do realise there's a spelling mistake in there?
  2. It'll sound better if they get rid of that nasty flat plane crank Couldn't care less really, modern day Ferraris leave me cold unless it's got a nice V12 in it, and even then it's only the noise not the car that I enjoy. I can see why people buy them, but they're not for me.
  3. Cheers, where do you get oem discs from ? How much are they? Nissan, and I've no idea. Give a few local ones a call and haggle them down.
  4. Heh, they said exactly the same to me about my toes, and I haven't been able to touch them either since I was about 2 years old!
  5. You can do better brakes at the front than the rear, but not the opposite unless you want some interesting characteristics under braking. As such, I'd stick with OEM pads and discs at the rear unless your fronts need doing soon too, in which case I'd swap the lot out for something better for cheaper.
  6. It's only because I rarely bet, but I had a few quid on the Dutch to win the bloody thing Still, they can lose tonight and still go through, so not all over yet...
  7. You're just lucky I didn't take a photo
  8. As above. Cut, repair, refill.
  9. Where is it blowing? Assuming its the connection by the backbox or on a flexi joint, then a £50 weld will see you right. You could go for a full replacement system, but if you're happy with what you've got then a repair will sort it.
  10. Surely the 370 can go anywhere, like the 350 could? I thought it was only the GT-R that was limited to NHPCs?
  11. If it was a 350, then I'd list the obvious faults of TADTS and clutch master/slave cylinder failure, but on a 370?
  12. Quick update with good and bad news. Start with the bad, which involved me reading a thread on PH earlier and laughing so hard I twinged my back something chronic, which hurt more than a little Was trying to go a whole day without painkillers, so that screwed that up nicely. On the upside, I managed my first poo today, which wasn't too painful although I was very careful not to strain! Still stuck in bed too, although my infrequent walks are getting easier which I'm very glad for, certainly feels like an improvement on before the op
  13. I'd pay between 11 to 12 for it. How many services has it had, and where?
  14. Top update, especially the bit about trucks!
  15. You keep changing your username, so no one can remember what it is
  16. I would advise against any kind of decat then. Stick with a decent exhaust system instead.
  17. Cayman R is where the safe money is going right now. Limited supply, truly great cars, and deals can be had if you're flexible on spec.
  18. Try a 996 tubby. Definitely a step up in terms of power and chassis, and a whole different driving experience.
  19. Ummm...that would be a "No" to the above...I'm a girl, I have no mechanical knowledge whatsoever!! I want the car to actually work after it's had its bits seen to Not being funny, but what has your sex got to do with it? Women are just as capable as men in sorting cars, and much like changing a wheel or doing on oil change this is a bit of knowledge that I believe every car owner should have and be able to do. . Best way to do it is to buy the plugs and tool yourself, and then arrange a meet where a few of you can all muck in and do it together. Summer's allegedly coming, would make a nice change rather than just hooning around the countryside?
  20. Hoping you feel better soon Dave
  21. You can spend £200 on a replacement x-pipe on gen2 cars, or £50 for a bit of pipe welded between the exhaust inlet/outlets and get the same result, so actually cheaper The PDK 'box cost is for the whole unit and all electronics at OEM replacement costs, and is equivalent to what Nissan charge for the 'box on the GTR so it's not outlandish. It's also the only reason I've got a warranty
  22. Running costs aren't far off, it's when the big stuff goes wrong that it costs. I'm talking repairs to an IMS-failed M97 engine (£4K+) or a PDK gearbox replacement (£15K). Just budget £1K a year into the warranty and you're covered for this though, and given that the Caymans are better on fuel than a Zed, you may not be as far away as you might think. Of course, some people can't live with the badge, but they're normally the same kind of people who get offended when others say they could never drive a Datsun
  23. They do with the optional sports exhaust on, but much like the Zed they're a bit muted from the factory. Get the PSE on there and they really scream at the top end though
