  1. IS it a LWB or a SWB. 2fast2cool on Ebay do manifolds and decat pipes in stainless and they are top quality and only £129.00 for manifolds and same for decats. you do need to block off the O/S Lamber on the headers and put it into the top of the decat pipe, but my local engineering shop only charged me £20. If you have a LWB they also do a full Cat back system for about £200 in Stainless and very good quality. If you have a SWB I have a full cat back single exit Alunox system with wideband lamber boss, but it is loud and won't win favour with the nabours
  2. I sent my kids to private school and believe me the Drugs thing is worse there than at state schools. Some off the kids there have a £1000 a week pocket money. My kids at first felt like porpers, but got over it. Some have £100 a day coke habbits, buy dope by the kilo and generally are totally fooked up waists of space with no ambition because they have it all for the asking so why bother. My son made some good money at school buy burning Porn onto CD's and selling it the the rich kids. I didn't know at the time, but now he's grown up and at college he tells me a lot about what was going on at his school. Believe me though rich kids are as mindless and as yobbish as any Chavs.
  3. Which is why the British Soldier is the best in the world because he has to be versatile, resiliant and know how to improvise.
  4. Hey my soon to be Ex wife has been to see me today to tell me what her poker faced bitch of a solicitor is going to do to me BLA BLA BLA. All based on her lying boll*cks. while I had to sit there and stop myself from throttling her, because she's my childrens mother and that would upset them. Then go back to dealing with the scumbags that work (well that what they say they do) for me. There's Nowt wrong with this country apart from the fact that everyone thinks their entittled to more than there worth, that their expectation exceed their capablilities and they think this because the country is run by leftwing arse wipes, who think being a politition means they have a right to tell us what to do. That also think taxing anyone who puts in work or endever so they can pay the dolites similar income to the residue of said worker salarys. Thus bringing us down to the lowest common denominator (as with education etc because they themselve are fooking unemployable at anything else) Then create a system that protects all imigrants and none christian religious groups. Ensuring that they all have nice houses and plenty of food money, decent cars etc all on the state. Whist shitting on it own indiginous people especialy the ones laying down there lives to protect our freedoms (fooking joke) Then I'd have to say "Yes its a fab place to bring kids up" I think I'd like to have a dozen more then I could retire on the dole.
  5. FFS Sara. I wonder if this tree bow will hold my weight. I just popped on here to cheer myself up and its dooom and more DOOM and then there's FOOKING GLOOM and his brother DEATH aswell AARRGG :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal
  6. Too true :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
  7. Guss Hidink for Chelsea you recon? That wouldn't suprise me as he's only doing the Russian national coach job as a retainer, But I think they have lost a far better manager in Mourinho. I liked the guy, because he was a real Character who had self believe and a CV to back it up. All the really special Managers have an edge and overwhelming self belief. Brian Clough was much the same and was proberbly the best football manager there's ever been.
  8. Thanks Guys I'm getting to that stage were Birthdays arn't looked forward to.
  9. Do you have a lot of play on you Gear shift? Got to remember she's an old girl now and things like bushes etc through out the car are ready for replacing. The other thing you have to remember though is what else could you buy for the money with this kind of performance.
  10. The 350z is a realy nice car to drive, but I did expect more performance. It was one of the first 350z's I drove though and I'm told that they have improved. However they would have to be something special to overcome my abhorance of its vile styling. It just looks like a WWII Anderson shelter on wheels, or a more angular version of the Audi TT. Which IMO is another styling disaster only equalled by its new replacement for sheer Dog Shit Sandwhich appeal.
  11. Yep I have just bought one from 2fast 2cool and it looks exactly the same as the one I bought for my Blue car. That one was a genuine Nissan motorsport short shifter from Middlehust Nissan. Only difference is the genuine one came in a box with a block of black foam with cutouts for all the parts and a picture of the R390 LeMans car in the front. It also cost nearly £200.
  12. Hibache do sets of longer wheels studs for their wheel spacer kits and they go up in 5mm incroments. Anything from 5mm to 25mm longer. Demon Tweeks do them. Mail order number is 01978 664466
  13. Wheelmania Sell them, but if they are only scuffed even if a chip or 2 is missing. Prob cheaper to get refurbed.
  14. That is nice the top one is sh1t
  15. And when you switch your engine off it is hot, is it not. So the thicker oil containing polymers does what? Which is what i said and you didn't in your previous post. You actually said Your inference was that thicker oil wouldn't pass through fine oil galleries. I know you did mention deposits in an earlier post, but if it has a blockage it needs sorting. ie flushing and praying. Irrelivant as to how thick the oil is, the number relates to the temp rating at which the oil viscosity starts to break down. Which is it ability to prevent mechanical ware and damage. Once the temp exceeds viscosity limits then the oil starts to burn and this then causes damage by friction and carbon deposits which can build up and block oil galleries. The lower number would have more bearing on the oil thickness. The lower number is more to do with the temps at which the oil becomes effective (reaches viscosity) which is why it has a W rating after it to indicate it is more or less effective at cold temps. ie a winter rating. I said what i said Carl because I think your post was miss leading and I also know from bitter experience that 0w 30 is a very bad ideal for a Turbo charged Petrol engine and is usually used for low reving low presure TDI's
  16. Just a P.S. for you Jase M If your cars turbo's are high milage ie + 70K and it has always been run on semi synthetic then changing to a fully synthetic could see the seels off and then thats new or recon tub's. This has happened to me with a couple of T5's I've had. Always better to play safe and stick to what its used to. My Blue TT is run on 10w 60 fully synthetic, but that has fully fordged internals, bigger turbos and 1.2 bar boost. My NA's I run on 10w 40 semi.
  17. It look fundementally sound from what I can see. Looks strait as well. Good on ya. Keep us posted and let us know what spec you intend to build it to. 300 NA? Turbo? V8? or even as I know 2 people are doing BMW V6 TDCI?
  18. I'm sorry Carl, but I have to say I've never read such a silly post. The oil in your car is pumped and therefore under presure. Even if the oil was as thick as treacle it would pass through the smallest of oil galleries unless it was blocked. and within a few minutes of your car starting the oil would be starting to get hot and reaching viscosity offering even less resistance, but more lubrication. Thinner oil may give you a quieter engine from starting (only if your using crap oil) but that is all. A 0 30w or 5w 30 should not be used in a turbocharged Petrol engine because it's viscosity will start to brake down at about 105 to degrees C. The oil passing through your turbos will reach up to 115 degrees C and higher boost and aftermarket turbos will reach even higher temps. So the 5w 30 will be breaking down very quickly and offer no protection as it looses its viscosity. Furthermore if you drive your car hard a 5 30w is so thin that it is thrown into the PCV system with every enthusiastic right hand turn. This then passes through the PCV valve and into the turbo, causing your car to smoke like a Mississippi river boat. Good quality Semi and fully synthetic oils contain polymers that will adhere to the components to protect them from ware until the oil reaches viscosity. Once it is at operating temp (normaly above 79 degree's C) it would pass through a hole finer than a pin prick. I'm sure we've all see engine bays with a thin dirty film in certain areas. That is generally caused by a oil spray mist from either a not fully tightened connector or old porous pipes. Also Mr Nissan spent millions developing the engine and they recomended a 10w 40 semi synthetic at 6000mile oil change intervals or a 10w 40/50 fully synthetic oil depending on driving style and conditions. I'm pretty sure that Nissan knew what they were talking about.
  19. I would have been to more meets than I have if it wasn't for the fact that most weekends I'm fully booked up on my other jobs. Such as Dads Taxi's, Dads plumbing, Dad's pet Ambulance, Dad's rugby coach, Dad's assistant Grooms man, Dad's Joinery services, Dad's Gardener, Dad's Chef and Bank of Dad. Which is why i like are little Nurberg Trips and such like because I'm too far away to be caught up in my families organisation.
  20. Hi Andy the fuse that says meter is the one that controls the clocks.
  21. I accept that it isn't as simple as that but I was trying to make a point in a simple way to avoid the how come aircraft can fly upside down question, but their you go. One mans meat is another mans poison. I don't like women with big knockers (more than a handfull is overfacing), but loads of blokes do, but every now and then a nice woman with big freps comes along and I can appreciate what the attraction could be. It all depends what your trying to achieve.
  22. Make sure that when you order the seat covers that you pay the extra and get the full leather covers as the standard are PVC backs and sides. PVC streches and you'll find it harder to get a good tight job done. Also leather will shrink with heat and tighten up so long as they aren't as baggy as the first one you posted.
  23. Redline MT90 Chuck it in the diff as well.
  24. If you feel like its not right then get out and nail anything you can, Life is not a dress rehersal and your a long time dead. Don't go get married because you feel sorry for someone, or because you think its the thing to do. If You don't realy want to be with her then get your ass out of there. If you think you anf her are right for each other then you wouldn't be taking time out. Make it perminent and get back in the saddle. You will know when it's right because you wo't be asking uk lot for advice as to wether or not to stay.
  25. I bought a new set of 18's for my Zed about 4 years back and offered to run a woman i work with into chester and curbed both N/S wheels. Was totally gutted and all I got was my lunch.
