tyres??
dont know i hope so if not ill have to settle for 255 anythings better that what i got on there now i cant believe that nissan would put 225 tyres on the rear of a 300bhp car its ridiculus !! my mate has got a bmw 525i and it has 225 on it standard but its only 180bhp perfect for him 225 on these cars is asking for trouble .

NZR Mates just been arrested
people the law in this country protects no one! Fair play to the bloke that done this. What would the old bill have done ??? Not a lot (if they had caught them! ) The only language these idiots understand unfortunatly is violence! The only reason he might go to jail is because of the firearm usage, if he had doshed with a bat or something he would of escaped prison easy ! The best of luck to ya i hope they look apon you kindly and they dont send you away . james

bigger than 14psi is capable providing you get better injectors intercooler and larger turbos then you might be able to run bigger boost providing the engine 100%

smokey !
mate i think its something more sinister i aint no expert maybe im just being paranoid, but this smoke stunk it smelt off -key it might have been grey and i would have thought if it was condensation it would be coming from both exhausts one of the exhausts was popping at bit of steam the other exhaust had 100 times more smoke coming out of it do you think it could possibly be fueling wrong ???

smokey !
hi can someone help me with this problem, went and started my car this morning and was sitting in it because i always wait for it to warm up before i drive off .When i looked out the passenger side window there was white smoke going past with the wind , i got out of my car and looked at the exhausts and there was white smoke coming out of the left hand side exhaust alwell as a bit of steam and the smoke smelt funny the smoke was not blue so much and didnt really smell like burning oil. As i reved it a bit it blew the smoke a bit thicker. But the amount of smoke was decreasing as the car was warming up, so i took the car out for a spin to observe if the car smoked more under load but it didnt not even when i booted it i went about 5 miles(hard driving) and returned home i let the car idle for about 5 min and there was no smoke and then began to rev it nothing then right up to the red line and nothing then let it idle for another 5 min and nothing at first i thought it could be a turbo but i thought if it was it would smoke all the time and would be more blue in colour and have a distinctive smell of burning oil . does anyone have any ideas on this dilema im flumuxed im new to this car and have not had much experience dealing with problems any ides would be much appreciated jim zx
