  1. I neeeeeeeeeed one too! lol
  2. Hi guys, Just wondering, this is for the new system I have bought in bits.... I have the divorced downpipes, the decats and the rear backboxes... I'm sure there is a piece missing in the middle where the original H pipe goes, what would go there with the new system as I gather the old H pipe is back to 2" from the going to be new 2.5"??? :helpsmilie:
  3. Cool cool, I just bought the 4 bolt divorced downpipes too WOO!!
  4. No, no downpipes, that was the bit that was confusing me. Thought I needed them? Bit of a dark area when coming to do an exhaust, there's too much vague literature out there and if people selling things don't get things listed right, then you're left to believe the wrong info lol Oh well, thanks Steams 'n' Yowser ;-)
  5. Hi peeeps! I have bought these for my Z for when the engine rebuild is finished: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230506632347 Is this all I need to decat my TT Fairlady?? Or is the wrong thing I've bought? Do I need anything else? I have a 2.5" twin exhaust system for the backs though. :online2long:
  6. Also just bought this to replace the oil cooler on my auto jap car... Just upgraded to a race rad. Is this the right cooler kit? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140488529458
  7. ok, I have graphite faced or something with copper rings around the water ways, looks like some kind of metal ring around the bore bits.
  8. Excellent news, thanks Jimmer, you're a star. My mechanic gave me some good news last night when the heads come off; it's definitely done low millage by looking at the coke, valve seating, cam seats and says there is absolutely no lip on the top of the bores. It does have a really weird firing order I see, but I guess that's just V6 for you and something to do with balance once it's running?
  9. Hi guys, Need some advice yet again! lol OK, first things first, my engine is on a stand stripped down, it's been sitting for 3 years and my mechanic suggests new head gaskets... I have the complete gasket kit, but I want to run up to around 400bhp with a boost controller after. Do I need a metal gasket with arp head bolts or can the standard new gasket take that with a set of new bolts??? Thanks a lot peeps.
  10. Yeah, this is it... I have seen the joke ones and just delete them normally, but like you guys said; this one really stuck in my head and most of it would work. Clever stuff whoever wrote it.
  11. I think someone has hit the nail on the head, I got emailed this earlier... Made me chuckle... Let's elect the guy for PM! lol :tt2: --- Dear Mr. Cameron, Please find below our suggestion for fixing the UK's economy. Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan: There are about 10 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them £1 million each severance for early retirement with the following stipulations: 1) They MUST retire. Ten million job openings - unemployment fixed 2) They MUST buy a new British car. Ten million cars ordered - Car Industry fixed 3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed 4) They MUST send their kids to school/college/university - Crime rate fixed 5) They MUST buy £100 WORTH of alcohol/tobacco a week ...... And there's your money back in duty/tax etc It can't get any easier than that! P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of parliament pay back their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know. Also……….. Let's put the pensioners in jail and the criminals in a nursing home. This way the pensioners would have access to showers, hobbies and walks. They'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs etc and they'd receive money instead of paying it out. They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped instantly, if they fell, or needed assistance. Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them. A guard would check on them every 20 minutes and bring their meals and snacks to their cell. They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose. They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counselling, pool and education. Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, PJ's and legal aid would be free, on request. Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with gardens. Each senior could have a PC a TV radio and daily phone calls. There would be a board of directors to hear complaints, and the guards would have a code of conduct that would be strictly adhered to. The criminals would get cold food, be left all alone and unsupervised. Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week. Live in a tiny room and pay £600.00 per week and have no hope of ever getting out. Think about this (more points of contention): COWS Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Appleby almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the county of Cumbria? And, they even tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 125,000 illegal immigrants wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.
  12. WOOO HOOO!! I am a non-mystified happy man now, thanks Tudor!
  13. You lost me... This is for me TT.... These are them: Going on these: Do I need the 2.5" elbows or will they go straight on?
  14. The decats arrived and they are Japspeed, no elbows included for the turbos though? Do I need them?
  15. lol, sounds like I'm ok then Vodka? or am I......? Steams lol If you hear any more ranting then you will know lmao
  16. Hi guys, Currently waiting on this for my Auto 2+2 Jap spec TT: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230506632347 Now, these will fit my new backboxes back as it is all 2.5"... But now I'm seeing that maybe they WONT fit my autobox on the Z Centre; and it's exactly the same pipe kit!? http://www.zcentre.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.pbv.tpl&product_id=52&category_id=55&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=7 WTF is going on with this? HELP!???!?!?!?
  17. Ok bud, I will let you know, not sure yet. Ordered the 2.5" decats today but will have to find out if I need them or not.
  18. Show me the pictures, there are a two lots of hangers.
  19. What hanger brackets? There seems to be two sets, the one with the flanges or the ones that unbolt where one rubber goes on each side. Won't I need them for the new exhausts?
  20. I got the standard boxes off Groover... the 2" flange is not lining up with the holes on the new 2.5" backboxes ='0( Do I need the downpipe all the way from the turbos back?
  21. HORRAAAAAHH!! I got them all off, the 4 rear and 2 front rubber's bolts (the easy bit) and the 4 PITA exhaust flange bolts all without heat!! I think the wd40 soaked in overnight plus I managed to borrow a breaker bar as you guys recommended, was only able to do one with the breaker bar as I only had a little room under the car grrrrr... anyway, managed to put my foot on the wheel the other side and pulled with both arms and it let go... the other side I managed to get a 17mm spanner on it and get a 4lb club hammer and it come off lol... well happy... Just need a 2.5" down pipe from somewhere as the standard 2" flange is not lining up with the holes on the 2.5" backs ='0( Do I need the downpipe all the way from the turbos back or just from before the cat??? I'm lost now lol ALL THAT WORK! =0)
