It’s not my favourite job but a good quarter drive set and it will be off before your thermos mug is empty.

I literally can’t deal with these radio stations, radio 1 is bad enough but these cut price scripted local ones with 8000 adverts per hour. I’d rather listen to a baby crying on loop!

Without. Being too much of an old man, pretty damn well near everything in the charts currently. It’s seriously dire. It seems the 90s brands like Ellese and Fila’s comeback has brought the “R&B” shite with it.

Oh well, I did wonder that from the lines. Ideally I’d change the bumper as it’s not my taste. The nose panel is a five minute job though. Tbf, if you could find a stock bumper in the same colour code you could swap the front in no time.

I didn’t say good, I said presentable. Whilst the body kit isn’t yours (or mine) taste, simply changing the nose panel and spoiler would make a large difference, much more subtle. Then throw the car mats and frog eyes out, change to a stock series 1 steering wheel. Keep the bonnet closed in public. Wouldn’t take long to make those small changes, or cost much. If the blocks good and rust is limited, for the right price you’ve got yourself some fun you can improve on. Don’t forget, not everyone is quite so financially committed to these cars. To most of us they are an interest among others. Mines definitely not a priority :lol: if I spent half the time I spend on the bank or half the cash I throw at corals I’d be long finished.

In fairness you could get that looking quite presentable in a weekend. Could be a bargain, could.

Ah I see, the last thing I recall was his second build throwing a bearing on break in. After the last one died.

What about MarkDerby. He is now a past member and put lots into his car? Was a smart looking car at one stage. What ever happened to it and did he ever build an engine that lasted or did he just give up trying in the end?

Is there any motivation for change other than the aesthetic? I mean, is the current spoiler damaged etc?

I was semi convinced you’d died or something. Literally fell off the earth.

I was there that day. My first event with the club.

Nice :drool:

Gotta agree with Julia it is a bit nerdy, but there’s nothing wrong with that. Nerd is very on trend these days... let’s face it we’re all bloody Nissan nerds to a lesser or greater extent, we spend too much time and money on old cars to be normal.

Good to know, he was a good guy and I liked that little car.

Steams evaporated as well.

What about madmarco and dazvert. Both vanished.

Welcome, looking forward to seeing it about!

Takes two minutes to switch stock bulbs in. Get certificate and refit.

Turn key, that’s a place in Devon ain’t it? But behave, more is always more. You know that! :lol:

I dont think they work well with the smooth boot lid lump thing. Too many straight lines where as the stock options create an oval effect of the rear light panels.

Dark rear panel, significant improvement

Cams are a relatively uncommon mod on these engines, generally people will just use more boost and encourage other external breathing mods. Maybe ported heads. Larger valves, extra displacement and cams are generally not included in most peoples builds as you can achieve strong power without resorting to such expense. It’s not like tuning an NA.

I don’t know, I’ve not done it to a VG. The engine I did it too had a wild cam profile and idled like a bag of crap. But from what I understand your cams aren’t that wild. I wouldn’t of thought idle stability will be that much effected, if you care about that are you doing the right modification? I don’t really understand what you want.

What exactly are you confused about? If you’ve got the adjustable cams you need to move them to achieve an advance or retardation of the cam. There will be graduations on the gear. Personally I’d leave the upper cam covers off set it to zero and let your tuner set the timing during the process, guessing you want 2 degrees is useless.

Burn the money on VXR8 parts, don’t start another zed project. You don’t actually like them.
