I still don't know why people think chucking on Nardi steering wheel will make it the hottest shit in the galaxy. I effing hate nardi wheels, it looks shit on all modern cars. It barely looks ok on drift cars. The only cars it looks dead hot on are the old Z or the old school GTR with their old style interior.

Shame, shame shame.

Nardi wheels are hot. I wouldn't put one in MY 35 GTR but i'd definitely have one an older car I had in my garage.

I would have thought this would have sparked more discussion on the pro's versus cons of moving the paddles WITH the wheel or leaving them as std and fixed to the column.

My vote goes to keep them fixed to the column as per std (they're always where you expect them to be in that case), although the carbon is rather porn.

IMO the paddles should move with the wheel so they are dead square with your hands on hard cornering. I've never driven a car with flappy paddles but the ones on the factory GTR work totally fine from the looks of it in the recent Fifth Gear review.

They're big so even when you're cornering they aren't hard to reach. So i'd say stick with factory because it works!

BUT it mightn't be the same on other cars. I saw another review of some Euro car (bloody forgot), and the reviewer was turning hard, wanted to change up and needed to actually move his hand from the wheel to reach the paddle. That's annoying and dangerous :cheers:

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
