I'm not so sure on that one mate because if you think about it...you could have 1000bhp+ under your bonnet but if you haven't got a steering wheel you can't go anywhere. Therefore we must conclude that: (a) the steering wheel is one of the most important parts that you'll ever fit to your car and if you had an old worn out stock steering wheel rather than a nice comfortable upgraded one (such as this Veilside) then you could in all seriousness crash and potentially injured lots of old people and innocent passers by (maybe even as much as 235 of them!) (b) therefore this steering wheel could even be considered an essential safety upgrade *ask yourself 'are old people not even worth a pound?' **edit: plus postage??

Flock it! *and by that I don't mean leave it as it is http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CDIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.suffolkflockingservices.co.uk%2F&ei=5ik1UePSCIfB0gWM2YGgCA&usg=AFQjCNEvc6c0x30wLr40tEvx3NHH6CyG4g&bvm=bv.43148975,d.d2k

There's one on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Veilside-Carbon-Steering-Wheel-Combat-Model-Ultra-Rare-GTR-RX7-EVO-/330877655605?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4d09d85a35

With todays justice system....they'd get a slap on the wrist and a free holiday in the Costa Del Sol! However if you caught them in the act and gave them a clip around the ear, you'ld be up on an assault charge and have to pay 'them' compensation (as per the recent newspaper article with the OAP who's house was getting shit thrown at it by some little scroatbag) It's rediculous....next we'll be paying compo to terrorists....oh yeah, we already are!

Angle grinder + two spare Nissan wheel braces = job done!

DNA imbalance is right!! I spotted a car in the Cwmbran B&Q car park on Saturday morning. Some mindless flanges had keyed pretty deep every panel and across the bonnet. WTF is that all about?

What does the advert say regarding what's wrong with it other than needing a replacement turbo? As for buying a Scooby as a daily driver I can't see anything wrong with it other than the fact that you'll no doubt start modifying this aswell, which ultimately means that something has got to give (ie. full on zed build or 50-50/30-70/40-60 etc etc split between the Scooby and the zed, either way the zed loses out even if it's just a small amount). Personally I'd go for something along the lines of an RS4 that gives all the thrills of the Scooby but won't necessarily be screaming out for modification

There's a lot about the zed that makes me think that a hundred and one different segregated departments within Nissan beavered away for months on end designing and building there own little piece of the very large complex puzzle.....then at the end they all got together and put their 'bits' together. This resulted in cam cover bolts behind water pipes, fuse boxes in previously mentioned locations, turbos that require engine removal, import seat belts (on the actual door) and near as damn it a million plastic connectors with a 15 year life span that crumble to dust at 15 years and 1 day still it's all part of the fun I suppose

Quick get your arse down to the corner shop and buy a lottery ticket!! You've managed to get hold of 'the actual' ebay employee and get him/her/it to do something constructive....I figure the stars must be aligned in your life at the moment and as you've already managed to pull that one ^^^^^ off today then a 117 million to one chance of winning the lottery must surely just be a formality :tongue_smilie:

It's all corroded inside but I reckon it'll be easy enough to repair

That'll be it then, cheers bud

Not the yellow/brown coolant temperature sensor but the slightly smaller black one next to it (on the water pipes/front of the engine) *mines brittle as arse and has come apart but figured before I re-solder/replace it, I should ask if it actually does anything important any ideas?

Probably scared the shit out of the cat that had crawled up there for a quiet bit of kip!

I kept it simple on our van (25ft'er) and just had the reverse camera permanently wired into a 12v source in the rear (it's wireless so no long lengths of coax needed for the video signal). We then wired the cabs LCD monitor into a permenent 12v source under the dash (secondary lighter socket). The monitor has an On/Off switch so we just switch the monitor on before we need to reverse, rather than messing about with tapping into the various multicoloured wires on the loom

At the risk of going way off topic.....Ray Mears couldn't survive in bloody Tesco's mate Nice bloke to talk to but a complete whopper who really plays up his role on TV......case in point (1) Telemark episode (he stayed in a hotel every night without exception whilst the bootie' lads completed the full route that he gave commentary on!). Case in point (2) he was an invited guest on a combat survival course several years ago. Having sat his lardy ass' down around one of the patrol fires and proceeded to polish off the communal brew that he was offered out of curtousy, he decided to advise on how to cook a ****ing pizza whilst 'on the run'. He then proceeds to pull a bag of flour, tin of spam, tin of tomatoes, block of cheese and 'seasoning' out of his rucksack and shared the wealth of his outback pizza making experience with the patrol. Now I'm not saying that it was a bad tasting pizza (far from it in fact by all accounts) but when you consider the fact that his hotel that night included an evening meal you would have thought that he would have left the majority of the pizza for the guys to eat.....apparently not (not to mention the small matter of 'where the shagging hell are you supposed to pull these ingrediants from when on the run'?!?) and don't even get me started on Grylls!!! *Lofty Wiseman however.....he's the man :thumbup: now stop bitching and get back on top cover :biggrin:

The wind chill on the plain can be a friggin' nightmare this time of year eh! I've got to turn the heating down, I'm ****ing sweating right now....

You're a long way from home chief!

That's a fair point I suppose

Welsh and Proud!! What are the chances of pulling this off again at the last minute....hmm :biggrin:

Well there are currently (24) zeds of various ages, condition and model on ebay at the moment (I've deliberately discounted any breakers etc) The current total asking prices total £65,055 which equates to an average price per zed of £2,710.63 *these figures are approximate as one or two cheaper zeds have bids running but not enough to make much of a difference overall. Now go and compare the same figures with Supras, RX7 (FD) and Skyline GTR's (would only be accurate if broken down into sub categories of R32/R33....R34 prices I suspect are a bit irrelevent as they are still fetching £23k+ in standard trim)

If you heartless fookers' don't see a business opportunity when it's staring you in the face then more fool you! :whistling: I hope she (aka Somali Pete) takes Paypal...

There are some 'interesting' (read: idiotic) comments regarding this on an old DW thread (see below).... http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=8&cad=rja&ved=0CFsQFjAH&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.driftworks.com%2Fforum%2Ftechnical%2F57785-7-5-turns-wheel-nut-safe.html&ei=elEuUd7eNIfI0AWm7IG4Cg&usg=AFQjCNG8Ll3ZrrLdOOJ6Rhsl9lUaMhQRPA&sig2=QHyIn0g2VKdlukL9_d-lgw

I always thought that 8-10 turns were required, though I'm only getting 6 1/2 turns (using stock Nissan wheel nuts) with my current rims. Is that sufficient?

Typical.....completely out of the blue last night 'Hotmail' in their infinate wisdom decided to make some major changes to the hotmail email page layout Did they leave it alone and just change the name to Outlook.com? Did they ****!! Now I can't tell my arse from my elbow or my inbox from my outbox Why can't people just leave things alone?!? :hammer:

In that case you need to get down to see the doc asap Jeff, because your feet look a bit strange :tongue_smilie:
