You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Blue nile is good, I was going to buy it from there. Their stock range is massive, only issue I had was that you can't actually see the diamond.

I went with JamesAllen.com. They have pictures of the actual diamond, which is important if you are looking for inclusions.

From then you can pick a couple and then an opinion from a geologist of their opinion of what they can believe is the best diamond out of the few diamonds you have picked.

I spent a little more, 5-10% to go though a jeweler, only as they have a guarantee, ie when it arrives if I'm unhappy with it I can decline it.

as for tiffanies, the one we wanted there was close to 30K.....said jeweler is doing same setting in platinum for around 1/3 the price.

Yeah for piece of mind, being able to see it in person can't go wrong with a local jeweller. I would say when choosing a diamond, one with a GIA certificate is preferable.

Bluenile do offer a 60 day money back guarantee no questions asked, but being in America it would be a pain in the ass if you did have to return it.

yeah this is a GIA one,

we went thought a few found one that was right size and color and clarity, he investigated it was all good so shipping it over, he will do another check then we get to come in and confirm it.

plus he came recommended from 3-4 of Katie's friends for doing their custom rings.

should have finished product in 2-3 weeks

Don't know how you can still use a 3, mine was so slow by the time I got rid of it I was lucky not to throw it at a wall everytime I used it..

I'm still using a 3GS. Battery life is starting to die in the arse as I've had it for 3 years.

You too Alex, somewhere on the T & Co website?

If it's that lighter coloured blue, then I think you should stick to silver wheels...

its gun metal grey with a bit of blue through it.

As long as Rimon is on our table we'll be fine

rofl.

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
