  1. Adverts been changed now.
  2. I've gotta play devils advocate here and say, technically it was the fact that he was driving too fast to make it round the corner. Ie too too fast for the road condition, the bend in this case. He could quite legitimately have been under a national speed limit restriction, not every corner in section of road will be suitable for doing 60 round. I understand there must be a posted limit and I certainly obey them when it plain silly not too, it's dropped to 30 through a village for a reason. However this preoccupation with "speeding" as a fatal crime that will cause you to inevitably have an accident because your going faster than the posted limit is not misleading it's short sighted. Just as gun don't kill people, people do, speeding doesn't kill being a dick does. This current mindset is why people think it's acceptable to do 40 past a school yet completely ludicrous to do 100 on an open empty dual carriageway.
  3. Monday morning I always forget that the indicator is on the left in the van and end up turning the wipers on...I also pull out of junctions plant it and expect it to take off which it doesn't. It's funny how quickly you get into the zed.
  4. Good luck, where is the car?
  5. I know the one you mean yeah.
  6. Welcome to the club all you need now is a 300zx :p
  7. Very nice, virtually identical to my new brakes where did the brackets and lines come from?
  8. Pretty sure from memory the rear seat lifts out with a few bolts, then the door card unbolts easy from there.
  9. I can't really take any credit, si has done pretty much all of it.
  10. Emerald bettle I recon.

    Well done gents, some times it's best to just put the pitch fork down and enjoy life.
  12. I think you need to mod the inlet housing outlet. You could have them machined the use the t28 core on the t25 housings, creating "gt525's" when you say they are worn... How worn.
  13. We used to run around with sticks murdering may bugs and stag beetles. Only when they were flying of corse, unsporting otherwise.
  14. We had 32 last year I believe, every z chassis covered even the elusive z31 and 280zx chassis.
  15. Sod it I'm dead already then, TBF not even mozzies like me. The weekend we went to a wedding everyone got bit to shit, me two, two measley bites. It's that demon blood of mine, tastes bad.
  16. If he takes an ibuprofen he will be alright I spec, it's only a heart attack Christ.
  17. Bloody flies round here ATM! Do my head in, tomorrow night I will get pissed off with the mozzies down on the river bank. I just hope this high pressure contines, it's doing me some favours at present.
  18. Oh that little hole, there's a dead end isn't there as if it was turbo pipework. The very best way forward is a split intake such as the selin system, there's cheaper ways to achieve that though. You just need a big cone though, and an adapter plate.
  19. What ever the cause it's arbitrary now, if you want to use some more get some branded ones with the correct spigot rings torqued to spec and it will be fine :)
  20. It's pretty lucky/hard to make 350-370 that gets quoted on the average chip you'd need way more than 12psi on stock turbos generally as well. If you want to make power on stock tubs a custom map is the way forward, safer too. You need a boost leak detector bung and a compressor, plenty of how to's on here.
  21. The AFR should be able to allow someone with the knowledge to say you can safely turn the boost up some more or not, have you tested for boost leaks? tbh as I said earlier generic chip and 14 psi normally equals about 330-340fwhp depending on the chip and overall health, so at 12psi its not really far off that.
  22. Exactly, I'm guessing that they are Nissan centre bore size, being used with an aftermarket wheel that isn't. It's likey a combination of factors, mine have been on for 3 years without spigot rings without doing this, (ebicah ones) however this isn't ideal and the hub centre should support the wheel not the studs. Something wasn't right with the instal and its likely set out and caused a vibrational effect causing fatigue and finally shearing, where they up to the job to start with? I couldn't say but the wrong kind of stress has been applied to the studs causing this one way or another.
  23. Right then, some details to finalise. we can amend these as we go. We need to be on site by 10am at Coventry transport Museum(CV1 1JD) I expect earlier would be sensible so I will clarify with Lexx. We can all meet at Cherwell Valley motor service station(OX27 7RD) I believe we can access this on the north bound side, leaving us about an hour outside the venue to catch up with those travelling from the south east and south west. So around 8.30 there would be wise allowing some stragglers and some margin at the other end. So that leaves either Rownhams on the m27 this end or Chigwell to catch up with those travelling up from the SC area, whats the preference guys?
  24. that doesn't look cool, I would say either the studs where the wrong tensile strength or the wheel wasn't fitted correctly.
