  1. They should stop paying bloddy Graham Norton so much then we might get to keep our F1!!!
  2. Sorry Nick, misread it... Still sucks tho....
  3. Your ok if you've got Sky sports but for those of us that haven't there's no Live F1 races to be shown from 2012... Just highlights only... Bloody BBC in conjunction with evil Rupert Murdoch... It Sucks Ass!!!! http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/29072011/58/fans-outraged-new-f1-television-deal.html
  4. Always sad to read your posts on Facebook about Sylvia Dan... But like i've said already she's at piece now, no more pain and up there with Ty, both of them having a jolly good old time dancing and playing around looking down on you all!! Time to celebrate her life as you, your friends and your family have always done with Tyler!! God bless them both! ;-)
  5. And a very trick clutch, gearbox and diff system matched with perfect gear ratios.. :bow:
  6. Christ, that's hanging!! :hurl:
  7. It's an awesome piece of kit and very high quality! Replaces the skinny track rod arms and Hicas Bushes... Just make sure you use the smaller nuts in the kit, the big ones cause too much toe out!! Another thing when fitted it's a good idea to get your Z on a 4 wheel alignment system to make sure all the toe angle are right!! No more wobbly back end and the Z does what you tell it too!! :bow:
  8. Happy Birthday Dude! Have a good day and hope it gets better for you!! :duffer: :duffer:
  9. Such a shame, RIP Ryan
  10. Bought these exact ones over 5 years ago now and no probs! Direct fit!
  11. I do remember seeing this one in Banzai magazine.., Surely they wouldn't go round to the owners house and review it if they didn't have proof it was pushing 500+ bhp upwards would they???
  12. Just before you take your Z to the scrapyard, give it one final send off doing some banger racing! Before..... After... Looks like someone opened fire on it as well!
  13. Daily drive for me and has been for the past 9 years!! Do use the missus Puma tho for longer journeys tho!
  14. Ooops! That one shouldn't have been on there! Just needed a photo of the toilet to show the water outlet pipe so can marry it with a new one..
  15. Removed mine 2 years ago as per the link on Robo's page... No problems what so ever here, also removed the carbon canister... Starts on the button everytime and engine hardly turns over before firing up both on hot summer days and freezing winter ones... Oh and my Z lives outside!!
  16. Nothing really Dan, the nuts we're the main thing! The only other thing that was wrong was two of the longer bolts we're in the wrong places!! The one that was connected to the right hand side bush near the shock was too long and should have gone through the left hand side subframe as the one in the left hand side subframe was slightly to short with the washer and worse of all was working itself loose as not enough thread for the nut!! All swaped now and the shorter of the long bolts is in right hand side bush now. Would have been nice if Driftworks included fitting instructions in our kits as although it looks and is simple to fit, it doesn't say which of the longer out of the long bolt's goes where so we we're just guessing.... The smaller bolt's are obvious as the go where the old hicas lock kit went or hicas unit. So in order of nuts from the top it's Small bolt's Longer bolt into the subframe and the long bolts through the bush!!! Hope your's went all ok Dan Anyone who's fitting this kit I would check everything after a week of driving to make sure all your nuts and bolts are still tight... Also worth noting that the toe adjustment bar is a left handed thread so it's not righty tighty, it righty loosey and lefty tighty!!! Dan's Special tool which made life easier! The original bolt, slightly too long!! Me and Dan we're not to know tho!! Old skinny hicas arm The right size subframe bolt in place, shorter of the long bolts became loose! Smaller nuts in place With the smaller nuts either side there is now room for adjusting the toe in and toe out... Once adjusted, tighten your nuts but remember there on a left handed thread!!!
  17. Looks awesome Allan! Think me and the missus are gonna invest in a clay bar and do our cars!
  18. Success!! Right just thought i'd give you an update on this after swopping the big nuts for the smaller nuts it's cured the wobble / bump steer once and for all!! The bigger nuts we're causing excessive toe in pushing the backend of the wheel out way to much (20mm) per side to be exact so it meant every time I went over a man hole cover or fag paper I got bump steer which was the wobble effect I was experiencing... Just horrible!! Once swapped over to the smaller nuts It gave a much greater degree of adjustment so was able to set the rear wheels to toe in or toe out... Set the wheels to toe in by 2mm and everything is as straight as an arrow and even did some tests over bumps in the road at low and higher speeds and no more wobble!!! Before with the big nuts there was bugger all in the way of adjustment.. Mine is a UK Z with tokico shock and standard springs and YES my shocks are fine!!! Very happy with the Driftworks kit and can't recommend it enough, but for anyone who's not fitted there's yet you MUST use the smaller nuts and not the big one!!! Sometime having bigger nuts isn't always the best!! Also remember to get the rear tracking done or even laser aligned after as you could end up with bump steer like I had or even worse when trying to go in a straight line your Z could start crabbing down the road... Pics to follow later!!
  19. Ok update on this one as well, after doing yet another boost leak test it turned out and only after running the compressor at a higher pressure, the passenger side intake clamp wasn't tight enough causing a tiny ammount air to leak out just before the throttle body. Obcvously under boost during driving this was made worse causing the black smoke at higher boost levels.. The air flow meter was telling the ecu how much fuel to chuck into the engine but not all the air was getting there hence the overfuelling problem! Also had a small pin prick hole in the rubber pipe that goes to the Second intake pipe to the Idle unit... Amazing how such small leaks can cause such drama!!!
  20. Ok though i'd better update this thread as I fixed it a while a go now.. Basically my targa drain tube became disconect from behind the drivers fuse box so water was getting in and dripping all over the relays and fuses... Replaced the drain tube, dryed out the fuse box and the diff light and lights problem has now gone!!
  21. Ah cool thanks for clarifying dude! Seem to remember you taking out the old shorter bolts from the old Hicas Lock Bar! When you get round to doing yours if you need me to come round and assist you and make the tea i'll be there!
  22. Yeah Dan's a legend, he used washers on every bolt even though I was short on some in the pack! Gonna swop the big nuts for those small ones and hopefully that give adjustment of the toe angle that's causing my problem... Thanks again for your help James and everyone else on this thread.. :bow: Always nice to clarify which nuts and bolts go where and I will report back when i've swapped the nuts over to see if any difference is made... Club spirt lives on! :cool3: :D
