Going to need a new exhaust :(
Cheers guys, think I'll go for the Japspeed one. I'm not overly fussed about motorway noise etc as its not a daily runner and the only time it will see a long journey is to a show etc. I actually find the kakimoto a bit droning to be honest so even if the Japspeed one is, I'll be used to it. In terms of turbo seal failure. What smoke am I looking for? White? If they did fail, what's the process, is it new turo time or a simple repair?

What do you look Like....
:biggrin: no mate, it was for halloween :) it was a mix of PVA glue, tissue paper, face paint and fake blood.

Going to need a new exhaust :(
So, i've had a busy morning today fitting a Trust air filter, Apex Dump Valves and a Grounding Kit :) All went well, and really happy. Bad news is, my exhaust plans have changed... I currently have a twin exit Kakimoto exhaust, which sounds lovely. The right hand back box though has blown it's baffles out, so the plan was to convert it to a single exit system (so i can keep the Kakimoto). After starting it up today and giving it some to test the dump valves, i've noticed the left hand back box baffles are starting to blow out too :( So, long story short, i'm going to be now looking for a new exhaust. Think i'm going for a quad system but what is general regarding as a good exhaust? Anyone have a quad tailpipe system they can recommend? Also, i've heard with de-cats that you can get premature turbo failure... is that right, or is it more like the de-cats show up the turbo failure earlier?

Whats peoples opinion on these Z's?
too much stance for me. I like the stretched look but not too much mind... tuck the rims in a little more too for my liking. Love the first one how he's just kept it clean and simple. nice example.

Tips for blending spoiler
Guys, I've removed my OEM spoiler and was going to spoiler-less, but the more i look at the replacement 'skin' that you blend in the more i like it. The description on ZCentre says it simply sticks on with mastic (or similar) - is that really the case or is that in an ideal world, and in the real world people have had to use other methods? I'd go for the one without 3rd brake light, which would leave me with a hole under the skin where the brake light used to be - should i weld this hole up before putting spoiler/skin on? Any tips in general with the blending in as i'd do it myself as much as i can. cheers for now

Company car??
I currently have a Megane 1.5 diesel coupe as a company car. £19k and 115co2 I pay approx £83 per month It's being swapped next week for an insignia 2.0 diesel. £26k and 134co2 I'll be paying approx £170 per month Those figures are based on higher rate of tax, so would be a fair bit lower if you're paying basic tax rate. I choose to pay my own private mileage. So company pays all my fuel then I let them know how many private miles I've done in the month which are charged at around 18p per mile.

sideskirts interest?
any idea what the depth of the skirt will be? I'd be looking to pair them up with a Scarab front off you so would want them to be same depth (height from floor) as the bumper. If you say they'll be good then i'll have a set. I'm looking to order the Scarab front off you at the end of this month, and then will have the skirts when you get them :)

What's daftest thing you've done this week?
Not this week, but a couple weeks ago I had to take our chest freezer and it's contents tote skip after it had all defrosted. It was only once I got back I realised it wasn't the freezer that had broken, it was actually the extension lead it was running off! I've still not told the wife :lol:

Which Lights would look better on my z?
Smoked if you want the race look and are going to go black elsewhere on the car. Personally I'd go clear. All down to personal preference :)

iphone 4 or 4s
Better camera and Siri are the main features the 4S boasts over the 4. Although I have a 4S, in my opinion it's not worth the extra (I only upgraded because I'm an Apple junkie) Siri is a nice feature but you have to ask yourself after the novelty wears off will you use it?
