Paint has come off a small section of one mudguard but i have doena quick respray to improve Vinyl kit & piping was not fitted too well by previous owner and needs tidying. It has been keyed down the right hand side but this is only visible close up and should be easily sorted - the pics show you can't really spot it.
  2. i agree the way that arsenal player cheated to win the free kick that led to the first goal was a discrace!! arsenal played very well in the second half to stay ahead but IMHO the best team won it in the end Mike
  3. theres a load of us going from the 300zx club were heading over on the ferry on the 18th to rotterdam then spending the first night in amsterdam then heading down to cologne to soak up the beer and footie then spending a night at the ring then back up to amsterdam and back on the friday Mike
  4. Just a quick one Sorry for the delay in getting these out, just been really busy but should be shipped out tomorrow Sorry again guys Mike
  5. Jesus i should live for ever then
  6. Must be white faced, 60mm and the warning type Many thanks Mike
  7. What sort of power at the wheels would you expect the turbo to put out?? I looked at the BB Vs Thrust bearing argument when i went for my turbos but with my 300zx theres simply no choices other than the HKS range (2530s) or the greddy range which i went for as its sooooo proven but it is slower to spool up than my previous BB turbos i had on my skyline but i find larger spooling turbos much easier to drive around town Keep up the good work Mike

    Bankers draft?

    I wont take a bankers draft anymore as you can cancel them!! yes they are cleared funds but if you ring the bank up you can cancel it if you say its been lost!! or as its been said theres so many dodgy ones around and the last one i took i rang the bank up and they refused to confirm they has issued it so i has a sleepless night till i put it in the bank in the morning What i do now is when i sell a car, tell the buyer to order the cash from a branch local to me then i can be there when its counted out and i can walk straight round to my bank and put the money straight it....easy and no one has to travel with large wads of cash and it saves counting thousands out HTH Mike
  9. Pete is a good bloke as well I had some for my 300zx and he even changed them because i changed my mind with the colour Top stuff and well worth the money Mike
  10. your welcome to have a look though and yes i will replace the screws and put them just in what i wanted was if i turned my boost controller off i wanted a nice 1 bar boost and set the EVC to 1.3 and 1.6 bar dont know if you guys have seen the engine bay in a 300zx twin turbo but we have managed to fit 3 inch pipework onto the turbos and ran them to where the side mounts went pretty chuffed with the way it all went as i thought we would never make them fit so fingers crossed its solved my lack of intake air flow problem and enables me to get it mapped up properly!! Many thanks for all your help Mike
  11. Yes i am running twins, but not on a supra I can put the screws back in and yes it does have a locking nut so i may put the screws back in and just leave them right out and lock them in??
  12. ive had the triple and twin and compared to other multi plate clutches there about the easiest and IMHO the best out there
  13. But YOU have said you sold it for £12700?? you wernt gonna come on here and tell us you had to let it go cheap was you?? because that would make you look a dick
  14. In todays market i would say around the 13k mark anymore and your doing well anyless and you have sold it too cheap!! thats asuming that the car is 100% OK HTH Mike
  15. Forgot to say Great looking car by the way and good luck with the sale
  16. tut tut i couldnt go as i didnt have a car to go in next month
  17. All the buying and selling of cars must bring out the "Pikey" in him
  18. wasnt you the one who slagged everyone off for telling you your car was not worth what you thought?? and wasnt it older than this one hence worth alot less??
  19. Hi There i'm running Trust wastegates with TD05-18g turbos and whilst mapping i had forgot to undu the adjustor screw on the bottom hence there was nothing controlling the boost and they hit 1.7 bar but the mapper quickly let off and we adjusted them down The question i have for any guru's out there is i know if there fully screwed up it closes the wastegate and just boosts for fun but i thought once you start undoing the screw it didnt control the amount of boost just how hard it comes in? On mine the more i undu it the less boost i get? so we have completly removed the screw now and getting a perfect 1 bar of boost but now the boost controller doesnt controll the boost even if i turn it up to full??? So does the screw "have" to be in even if its all the way out?? Sorry for the stupid questions but if you dont ask you dont learn Mike
  20. catch tank, hose and fitments prov sold
  21. i said i would include all the braided with the job lot of braided?? to be honest it was cut to fit me 300 so one of the lengths would be too long and another to short?? if you let me know either way if you do want it bud
