Chesterfield

Nope - but I did see it heading toward Sheffield at a roundabout on my way to work a couple of mornings ago. Only ever seen it once, and havent seen it again since either. It did look nice in the Nismo with the alloys to match.

Nope - looks fine to me!

Rish, if you want to email me the pics (chesterfield"at"350z-uk.com) I can add them to the post for you. or the files can be attached to the post if not too large.

What both your mates are saying sounds about right - 4 wheel allignment would be good. Also wearing around the centre of tread but not the outer could also indicate slight over inflation (the tyres are ballooning slightly, therefore more downward pressure from the weight of the car is being applied to the centre of the tread) see here for various exmaple wear patterns and pottential causes: http://www.dunloptyres.co.uk/ourTyres/car/tyreCare/

May be worth sending a PM to all those without the +1 listed against their names? TheMinel Kev Zedrush Jacko Liam's Z mini sgdavies choptop

My Canon 350D outputs pics of about 3.5MB in JPEG. A RAW (near enough BMP) will come out at 12MB I'd suggest whacking the photos in Photoshop and resizing them, and also reduce the image quality a tad that will bring down the size. Ah yes - I have yet to enjoy the delights of a "propper" digital slr camera, although Id like to get one. I remember some phots my riend sent me in JPG being huge also. Let us know how you get on Mark, there are plenty of us round here who can help out if you dont have any luck.

Val - are you recommending the CHEAPER option for once? I think Ive woken up in the twilight zone today Just pulling your leg. If its a daily drive then I couldnt live with overly harsh suspension, and it would appear that most here are perfectly happy with the standard setup.

Also, try saving the pics as Gif or Jpg. At 4mb, they sound like BMP files or similar. If you use photoshop or even MS paint, and save as a jpg or gif about 800 pixels wide, they should be fine. Hope that helps.

For someone rarely stuck for words, its never easy to find any that seem appropriate at times like this. Very sorry to hear the news, and my condolences to Phil and his family.

You can have a look at the plates I have had done with the sites name on, they have the propper silver Z logo as part of the name. Sadly it appears they will be in my boot and not on the car, as the wheels at the DVLA seem to turn a little slowly. Back on topic however - can the following people update Mark:

Having had a Ray replaced, they apparently cost about £700+Vat from a dealer for a new one. I bought a set from Ebay for £990 - but as they are now standard on 06 cars, they probably go for less now.

They will indeed be available on the day. As long as Val remembers to bring them - but he is reliable in the marketing department. There are a variety of colours and options of inernal or external placement. Some of us also have plates made up for shows, and also standard number plates with the site name placed on the bottom, so folk can have a look at those and see what they think too.

Me too - think I may invest also - thanks for the tip

Give my number to anyone who may need it for the Saturday or Sunday. No problem

Hi and welcome - always a pleasure to see new owners. As others have said - Bluetooth is standard on 06 model - some early ones came without I think as they were in short supply, but the dealers provided them for free to those owners once they tuned up. Your dealer should be able to source one for you.

Thats a ruddy bargain! Should bring some of the Ultra Yellow fans out of the closet....

Oaklands 7pm then? What time at the Slug and Lettuce for those that get out later? 9pm? If we offer two times and fixed points, people can meet at the most convenient.

Of course its your place to suggest it! Just like everyone else can suggest ideas for the community. The admin and moderator tags over on the left only mean that we help run it, the actual running comes from members and their ideas/suggestions. It also means we get to pay for the server etc though Back on topic, if all those listed above can let Jacko know the current situation and respond to the PM that would be appreciated, as the venue is being very accomodating it would be nice if we can be as acurate as possible with the numbers to help them out. They are catering for well over 50 people after all.

Should be good for the southern owners. I know our larger meets tend to be further "ooop north". There are some "SE Mafia" threads on here though so may be of interest to several of those people No problem in advertising other clubs meets on here at all. Shame certain other sites dont reciprocate, but none the less, an SE meet for Z owners is one more for the list

Shows rain/showers on other weather resources. Still time to change anyway!

Buy a yellow one then You can get a Z to stand out for a lot less than 18k, kit, wheels and a few other goodies would do the trick wouldn it. In true gameshow style..... The choice is yours...

You pop into Aldi once a week and have the cheek to criticise cheap wheels - you pikey. B&Q paint usually does what it says on the tin, so if they stock the right colour, that is perhaps your best budget option compared to Hamerite.

Nice, but its LHD. Which would make overtaking and general driving just that bit more annoying. Doesnt matter to some people, but it would bother me. Then again its a very nice car. I can see why you are in a dilema. If I were in the same position, I would buy another Z with the cash and put the extra toward a deposit for property, or in my case pay for an upcoming holidy, or sort out the bodykit for the Z.

Those with TomTom can register (for free) on pocket GPS world, and download Points of Interest databases. The Shell one has 890 stations listed and the BP one 1141 listed. Simply add it to your TomTom like you do the camera database, and hey presto, you can navigate to the nearest station of your choice.

Good luck with the sale. Its sad to see a member sell up, but there are always more important things in life. Hope everything goes well with the house too.
