Hoping to make this Sunday as it'll be my first. Still dependant upon how much work I get done on the Saturday though...

I'd go for the Tanabe Concept G http://www.tanabe-usa.com/exhausts/conceptg.asp I'm fairly sure I know where it would be available in the uk. PM me if you want a price.

Hi Nick - any chance of posting up the full diagram for the exhaust system with labels please mate? I'm a bit of a technical numpty and that would help me understand where everything is located and how they fit together. Cheers

Bought and fitted by a Jap specialist garage in Gateshead called XO Power tuning. http://www.xopowertuning.co.uk/ As I'm coming from a Nur Spec R, I hope to notice a significant difference but may also put the 2nd cat back in.

Just what I wanted to hear, as that'll be me come Thursday this week.

I'll be down at the gym tomorrow mate - I'll make some discrete inquiries if you like and find out if they have any security cameras set up.

The thing is, where you normally park in there is far from the public view and I think you'd struggle to see the car from the roadside across the hedge. Nobody passes through on their way to anywhere else either. Which suggests to me that someone has seen you going in there and it was a little bit premeditated?

Gutted for you Chris - were you parked up at the top end by the portacabins? Did you check with anyone in the actual Rugby Club / gym to see if they have any cameras set up? I can't remember if they have or not off the top of my head.

yeah, as Dazzi says it'll be louder - are you decatted? Getting one of these fitted to my NA on Thursday but its the NA specific one with twin box and slightly smaller pipework £375 + VAT brand new.

L*** CTY Parked up on the ground floor of the blue multi-story car park at about 4:15pm yesterday. Lovely clean looking white supra with a do -luck front I think...had a quick peek in the window and had a great looking interior too with re-trimmed seats and a white dash. Looking good whoever it was Steve

My girlfriend wouldn't ever contemplate getting me anything for the car for Xmas. That's one thoughtful lass you've got there mate.

Sorry for the length of it but thought this info would help: Wheel Surface Cleaning: It is important to keep wheel surfaces clean, as well as improving the overall look of the vehicle leaving them dirty can have many adverse effects; the black powder coating on the surface of your wheel has four components; a static friction charge (caused by the pads contact with the rotors) that attracts dirt, road tar and other contaminants kicked up by both your vehicle and others. Friction heats the pads and callipers to extremely high temperatures, and causes tiny particles of hot metal to wear off and sent flying in different directions. Many of these hot metal particles land on your rim and literally fuse themselves to the surface. Finally there is brake pad adhesive, modern brake pads are complex compounds of metals, synthetic materials and adhesives (the binder system) which is designed to wear away under friction like the rest of the pad. The adhesives used in brake pads can be very difficult to remove and they are also corrosive and will etch the wheel surface, the metal particles from the pads and rotors will become a conduit for rust compromising the paint surface of your wheel Wheel cleaning is not that difficult, especially if you use the correct tools, they have to work safely but effectively. Wheel cleaners that contain acid are the most dangerous, there are wheel acids that are safe if used with care and the directions are followed precisely. Accidents and expensive wheel replacements can always be avoided if you do some research and are smart about your choices. Always check the products MSDS and its pH value before you use it. It is always preferable that you use a 100% acid-free product with a pH of 7.5 – 8.0 Cleaning Clear Coated Wheels: •Ensure wheels and rotors are cool before applying cold water as this may cause them to warp. Hose off as much initial grime as you can. Rinse up into the wheel well to wash away road kill, mud and other debris. •Use detailing clay to remove any imbedded contaminants •Use a solvent based cleaner to remove any road tar •Apply a solution of P21S Total Auto Wash to wheel-wells and tyres, and let soak in, agitate with a long-handled boars haired brush before rinsing •Spray P21S Wheel Cleaner (Gel or Liquid) this cleaner is 100% acid-free and will not damage any type of wheel finish. (Gel for badly soiled and regular for normal soil) onto wheel rims and lat soak in (for badly soiled surfaces us P21S-Red (422) •Before finally removing cleaner, agitate with a soft brush and then rinse off (See Wheel Brushes) •Rinse wheel surface thoroughly with clean water (to avoid splashing paint surface rise by pouring a bucket of water over each wheel from the top down •Remove any surface imperfections with a suitable clear coat polish (dependant upon extent of damage) •Dry wheels with a towel, apply a polymer sealant (ZoopSeal) to the surface of the wheels, it will protect the finish from brake dust and the elements and also make them easier to keep clean.

Sorry no exchange on this. Provisionally sold as banni supra says, but he's next in line if sale falls through.

Pm'd Alex

Bump...

PM him? Is he a member on here like? Tee, the heads up was just regarding the addition of new stock - I know they've been round a while but only recently seem to have expanded their range.

Nah - sorry mate. I know what I'm after so not really looking for a swap, just a straight sale.

Blitz Nur Spec R (including removable baffle) Currently contemplating a change of exhaust to something a tad quieter for my NA. That said, if you're after a low, throaty growl, then this exhaust sounds superb!!! Getting a decent offer for this will dictate what I can go for as a replacement and when, as I will need to fund the purchase with the proceeds of the sale. Collection would be preferred. Cheers, Steve

Jazz - have you heard anything more from the guy about when he's expecting to do the manual gear surround?

Here's the couple of pics I've taken. Only getting a few of these bits at a time as I'm a bit wary of buying a boat load of stuff and discovering I've overdone it with the metal Please so far though... Sandy, email for Scott is: [email protected]

I've got the mirror control surround and the heating vent surrounds too. There's a few folk on here ordered these to be honest and I think they're all happy with them. Some initial problems with the adhesive on the back of them but is all sorted now.

Just thought I'd post a quick heads up to all that might be interested in various aluminium bits 'n' pieces for their dash. Scott at eb Designs has got some new stuff on their shop now - I've just fitted the cigarrete lighter surround. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/e-b-designs Looks great and is a very good fit and finish - will get some pics up in a bit.

Like I said mate - no worries re timing (especially in this weather). Just whenever you're ready to do yours. Are you close by, by the way?

Contact Jurgen on here - if anyone can find you one he can, imported as first uk owner.

Good to hear Mr Keef - is your's painted at all?
