Any particular reason why my posts aren't up?
I'm a little confused as to why my last two threads aren't up? The first was a request to find out if ZXTREME are still trading as I believe that they help out with project builds and mine is getting quite complex, and the second thread is with regards to my RX7 issue Is there something that I should know???

Z32 tt carbon drift build
Nice one bud, let's get a bit of GTR action on my thread and by the time I've finished the 'Z' build, I'll be just about ready to change it for a new Godzilla project (best not let the wife see this eh!) Ref the strut braces, even though when the cage is all welded in it shouldn't really matter, I'm gonna drop the company in the States an e-mail and whether I can get a decent discount on my next order (Carbing or similar maybe) and with regards to the connectors etc on the fuel tank, anything that needs changing will naturally be changed, though the guy who ran it in his Rally car didn't report any problems. I'll see what the guys in work have got on the shelf that can be adapted (at the end of the day if the hoses and connectors that they fit can survive an IED blast I'm sure it can handle a bit of fuel pressure and rough track time) I'll keep you all posted

Opinion on jdm 3 spoke rims?????
I've posted this question elsewhere so was interested to see what you guys think. JDM 3 spoke rims......dated as fook' or 'old skool' retro? The Super Advan version 2's would appear to be the nicest 3 spokes on offer

Who can see whats wrong?
You shouldn't have any probs with DW......if it was APEX PERFORMANCE I'd say otherwise but DW have excellent customer support Hope you get it sorted mate :thumbup:

Who can see whats wrong?
Good call! I was advised by a couple of the guys on DW to Loctite the thread once they've been set up by an alignment shop 'Royal' who used to be on here, mentioned that the bolts need a bit to stop the nut from slipping during the initial bedding in period You ought to mention what's happened, to Kam or one of the lads at DW

ferrari team order's??
Tactics, team strategy, whatever you want to call it, it's cheating and is blatantly wrong, but unfortunately it has and always will be, part of the 'modern' sport Remember this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpClyplF4fo

Z32 tt carbon drift build
I won't be sending them back mate (I imported them from the US way back in September '08 after all), it's just taken fookin' years and a shed load of cash to get my 'Z' back on track and be able to start work on it again. This is just one of many costly f**k up's as far as the last 2 cars have been concerned. I'm just a bit pissed off that they aren't what I thought I'd paid for. To be honest in the wider scheme of things, this strut brace issue isn't really even an issue and they're probably the cheapest part of the whole build; just a kick in the swingers that I could have done without that's all. Though I'm sure that they are well up to the job as they are still genuine Nissan parts Here's a couple of pics of the braces: On a happier note, I took the family down to Devon yesterday for a day at the beach and met up with Barry from UK-RALLY-SPORT and took ownership of my ATL carbon/kevlar fuel cell. Barry had just removed it from his company Cosworth rally car and included some useful little extras in the sale. Really nice bloke. Simple plug and play All I need to do now is source a new one way valve, a second FACET pump and fit a BOSCH 044 fuel pump....job done!

split rim advice
- The Cars of the Oil-Rich I Saw Today
If my old man was one of these rich oil barrons, I'd be tempted to rock up at one of these events in something a bit more imaginative. Maybe a satin black German WW2 half track with a monster ICE install or even a bayside blue British Army Jackal Would guarantee more media interest than your run of the mil Lambo!- R34 gtr 'arc' oil cooler on a z32 tt?
Cheers bud.......I've ordered five of 'em!!! Not really, keep the top tips coming chief- Fmic/rad/oil cooler setup for track use
Did someone say something? Only fookin'....yeah I've seen a few FD's run with this setup, but I suppose we 'Z' owners aren't blessed with the same copious amounts of space as them, so fair point, minimum gain If I ditched the engine, that might free up a bit of space, I could have as many oil coolers, front mount, side mount and top mount intercoolers as I wanted then I suppose Cheers Geeeezzzaaaaaarrr!- Z32 tt carbon drift build
There's nothing wrong with your GTR being PINK mate, loads of Pro's are running with it.... It's your choice of footwear that's letting you down chief.....- The Cars of the Oil-Rich I Saw Today
^^^^This Veyron discussion has been done to death on the DRIFTWORKS forum. It's like very, very, very expensive MARMITE!!! Personally, if I had that kind of money, I'd turn up to one of these 'cruises' ('cos let's be honest, that's what it is) and I'd be driving my Veyron quite content in the knowledge that none of these Porkey's or Lambo's could even get close on an open road. Then I'd be thinking....."Why is that strange looking man over there in that Nissan 300' thingy pointing his mobile phone at me?" Then of course when the media start playing up the old car being a 'cock extension' sketch. Well, you just whip the old boy out for the pap's and there you have it....win, win....end of chat! Then again, if I was just a bitter and twisted 'porper' Z owner who drinks beer and chats on forums............... but for my two pence worth I would just like to say, loving the cars but hating the unjustly wealthy arse crumpets.......and my 'Z' would destroy that Veyron?????????- Yellow Blackpool
Another ZCENTRE ram raider then!- Yellow Blackpool
You've gotta love Blackpool, and raining as well :yes: I lived just down the road at Weeton for about 4 years or so Ok fair opinion, but apart from the aftermarket front bumper that makes it look like an angry 'Pokemon' (in the pic at least!), what was actually wrong with it? Doesn't look too garish' to me; compared to some I've seen, and it certainly isn't bland (again, compared to some). - The Cars of the Oil-Rich I Saw Today
