  1. Thanks :) I still need to actually refurb the wheels but they look ok in pictures, just not sure whether to stay full silver or maybe go graphite centres and polished lip..... Any thoughts? :)
  2. Better view of wheels on that one :)
  3. And here it is :D Chuffed to bits with it now :) What do you guys think of the wheels?
  4. Update: my 300 is going in for rear end respray this weekend, just to sort the little bit of rust starting on the drivers rear...... Thought it best to have full rear done though as I don't want an ugly blow in line on it :) 350 is going in for total underbody treatment end of the month to keep it gleaming in all areas. E30, well, consistently it is needing nothing done and isn't due service till July :) Now that the weather is getting better I will be taking some more photos of all cars and will post them up shortly, especially of the 300 on its enkeis as I think they really suit the car :)
  5. An ironing board you say........? http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zGM3-WiEZco Enjoy!
  6. If any one did, are they likely to post said testers details on a public forum?? :)
  7. It could be worth trying another set of wheels on if some are available?? If the wheel doesn't sit snug on the hub then it's relying on the wheel nuts to keep the wheel in place.....? Not saying that's your problem but an easy one to eliminate if checked against a set of standard rims....? :)
  8. After the painting of the wheel I meant :)
  9. I put my car on the ramp in 2nd gear and polished them myself. Not brilliant as the valves were still in but with more time spent they'd have looked spot on! And could be done after painting the 2nd. Im gonna do them over the summer holidays properly and lacquer them :)
  10. My r32 made this noise when vw left the wheel nuts loose, only quarter of a turn but still enough to make that kind of noise..... Alternatively, those big brakes aren't pushing the backing plate onto the disc are they...? Or are the wheels supposed to have those plastic inserts in to locate them on the hubs? Or (last one) are the aftermarket wheel nuts new? And if so are they tapered correctly for the alloys.....? Just my thoughts :)
  11. Word for word I got he same email contact in 2009 on my 350z, be it from a sale on autotrader but the exact same wording I.e. terrible engrish!! :D I managed to string this scammer along for 2 months, see if you can beat the record :D Oh and if he starts talking western union bank transfers etc, check the email address of his 'associate' it something like flyguy99@yahoo.com...... Official as f€#k that guy! :D
  12. Looks cool to me :) Guns and funky flying cameras. :))
  13. 350z, 300zx, e30 318i 28 yrs old with 8yrs ncb £1500 I'm happy at 500 a car for my age. Quotes for each car individually were higher than this value by a considerable amount...... Not found one that'll put my r6 on as well yet..... MCE said they did car and bike multicar but then changed their mind at renewal time...... Weirdos :) Hope that helps :) P.s. if it sounds expensive at that then your area must be a lot nicer than the one I live in, or your proper old! Which in this case is no bad thing financially ha ha :p
  14. I've had a few..... :) Been a good day actually, minted all 3 cars whilst the mrs went and shopped till she dropped, then out for a birthday meal at someone else's expense! Win win! :)
  15. Look for a kind local member with same car spec and start swapping bits? :) If you were closer I'd gladly let you try mine, but mine is also only an N/A. :)
  16. Anybody seen this before? :) http://z32.wikispaces.com/Production
  17. LOL! My favourites at the moment are the ones with terrible spelling i get from Halifax, strange though as I dont bank with Halifax..... My reply to their message about my account being frozen due to 'passwordings errors' (their words) was, "good and thankyou for freezing my make believe account!" :D
  18. My s2000 had higher profile fronts, as did my 1 series. My 300 is currently running 17" on the front and 18" on the rear with lower profiles, drives nice actually but it's only like that whilst I'm refurbishing the enkei 17" rims :)
  19. Sorry to ask more but with regards to the wiring, is the loom the same but requiring certain parts and their looms plugging into it? By this I mean is their a 300zx loom that all cars get and then extra bits of loom get 'plugged in' to the standard loom.......? That makes sense I my head but if I need to explain better please ask :) My reason to ask is that I'm starting to think my car is too tidy to drift. But not to tidy to be a straight line demon! Ha ha :D
  20. Bar the obvious two turbos and their gubbins, what is actually different between the NA and TT engine? I mean as in internal differences? Is the engine itself strengthened at all? Or the head? Or is it just the same engine but one gets the turbos bolted on.....? I have tried to look for the answer to this but keep getting conflicting information.......
  21. Hein gerrick are always sending me offers to my email. They have a website....
  22. P.s. they clip in on Seat models so you'll have to cut some upper protruding clips out prior to fitting. :)
