Hey mate, I thought I had a pair up there... Did I give the spare pair to you with the car? Glad the car's still going well and I'm glad it's getting used. I've driven mine about 6 miles this weekend! Have you done much to it since the engine build? Paul

Holy post revival Batman.... I just saw an email in my private email account about my mailbox being full over here. It's now empty. Just to confirm Jim's posts, I went for the 5Kg/mm front and 4Kg/mm rear springs. That's what I ordered when I bought them but, they turned up with 5Kg/mm...

And not to be argumentative with your argument but... :lol: Air travels in a straight line and there's no angled deflection panels to direct air through the core on the front of the GTiR. So, the 70% that's blocked will be stopping the air going through that part of the core. The remaining...

It is the OE Nissan item but, without the dealer rip off price tag ! Several of us on here have bought them and been using them for a while ! Paul

I had a similar issue when braking from high speed. That was on old dampers and lowering springs. Since I fitted my coilovers, dive is kept in check and the car behaves as you'd want it to now ! A rear brake upgrade would definitely help with stability too though. Paul

Don't waste your money then mate. Just change your coolant regularly, to prevent sludge build up and make sure the rest of the cooling system is working as it should. I'd expect the Koyo rad would be more than you need anyway ! Paul

If the fins are bent, you're unlikely to be getting any air through that particular area. With 70% of the fins bent, it's likely to be 70% less efficient, if 70% of the surface area is not allowing air through. If they are bent to that degree, the rad/cooler is likely to be old anyway so, the...

The colour of the plug earth electrode looks fine (from what I can see) but, that gap looks huge too. The insulator colour looks a little odd too ?! And that earth electrode looks bent as well as worn ?! Paul

I have and didn't notice any difference. Of course, I don't have a digital gauge that would show any benefit but, I'm not that sure the stuff works to be honest. You're better off getting a rad that will cope with the power you want to make ! Paul

Just to add to Robs suggestions... With ther rad cap off, and with the car up to temperature, hold the throttle at around 2500 rpm for a few seconds. This will shift any stubborn air locks. Be very careful though, as the temperature of the coolant rises, the pressure will also build. This...

Nice. Thanks chaps ! Paul

Thanks mate. Paul

They all do it as, they're made by Nissan ! You could try bending the door frames in slightly. Heating up the paint around the area that you're bending slightly, will stop it cracking. Not that I'd expect it to anyway as, you'll not be bending them much. Failing that, fitting wind...

Thanks Rob. So the trim doesn't have any adhesive that sticks it to the wing ? Paul

OK chaps, I'm thinking about tidying up the rear wheel arches on the car so, how do you remove the wheel arch trims ? And can they be re-used after removal ? I.e. do you have to destroy them to get them off ? Cheers Paul

That all sounds like the best idea mate. The MDF shelf will help with the sound reproduction from the 6x9 speakers too. It should improve their bass output quite markedly ! Paul

Yeah, I'm sure !! :lol: It's not going to be until next summer.... It'll take me that long to make my mind up what car I want next !! :doh: :lol: Paul

Nope, I wouldn't say that ! The reason I'll be moving away from the GTiR is because of it's comfort level etc... I had some stereo equipment in mine for a time but, never used it so, it went ! It's your car mate, do with it as you will ! ;-) Paul

I'm sure you can buy a specific handsfree kit loudspeaker, that coud in th space infont of the gear lever, under the ashtray.... Paul

If you going for a system that offers good sound quality, along with good imaging etc... then you want the front speakers to do all the work and any rear speakers to just add 'fill'. If you wan't it to go loud though, and aren't worried about the 'purest' way of doing things, stick the 6x9...
