No radio controls on <06 model roadsters either (including GT roadsters) So I would assume it is possible to find an early non GT model with no cruise and possibly no radio controls either.

Careful Val.... Welcome to the site Mike! We too had the roadster/coupe debate. I lost. Though I have to say after some of the summer days we've had, and the drive out to wales a few weeks ago, I haven't regretted it. If we were living in an Oz climate, I would have gone for the Roadster from the off.

Yeah, and I could do with shedding about 25kg from the driver too! LOL.

With a roadster, there is the extra 100kg to worry about too! So carbon fibre used anywhere to lighten the weight must be a good thing. That metal plenum is looking dangerously close to being replaced as part of my modding program, closely followed by that big fat air box and filter.

Although the "quality" aspect of the 350 posts is said with a little tongue in cheek, there has to be a line drawn somewhere. Closed.

You'll get to your 350 posts in time sarnie... LOL

There is now a link to the Member Map on the portal, and on the top menu. You can add yourself to this map using the links on the page. This will help people locate members in their area if you need to get in touch with a fellow owner, or indeed you may wish to arrange local meets with people in your area. So what are you waiting for, add youself to the map - you may be closer to fellow members than you realise.. Hope this is of use to you all! Thanks, Chris.

Half of which were sporting flags no doubt....

From time to time, the google spider indexes the site, and can show up as lots of guests connecting. The IP adresses for all the connections are the same. Though there are quite a few guests lurking from time to time. Im sure they will register eventually.

I was kinda thinking of going with the missus LOL.

I dont do tents! LOL.

Makes me feel good about having nowt but Tesco 99 in mine.

Quick legal note just in case you ever need it. Any speed restriction or calming measure installed should be constructed in such a manner that driving over the measure at the legal posted limit will cause no damge to the vehicle and/or occupants. If you drive over a 30 limit speed hump at 30 miles per hour, any damage incurred by doing so is considered the fault of the person or persons responsible for the inatallation. Hope all goes well!

Hi, sorry for the delay in responding, just got your text message, have responded. There are more pics here: http://www.chesterfield.plus.com/wheels Look forward to the call tomorrow.

That looks fantastic. I soooooo need to get a kit on the roadster.

You know you want to....

Hmmm - Ill have a look into this, but perhaps you could try accessing the initial page. Http://www.350z-uk.com/ (the one with the car/title animation) If it is still blocked, then it would appear to be blocked for some other reason other than code. Perhaps cookies attempting to be interogated for auto log in?

Unfortunately UK dealers will almost always try and put people off a JDM car. They are afterall, in business to sell you their product, and have a vested interest in making sure people wish to purchase a UK car. I had exactly the same issue when shopping for three company Golfs. The VW dealers tried spinning me all sorts of crap to put me off imports. The list included - lights the wrong way round, engine air pipes different, guages different, trip computers different, and dealers would refuse to service it and stamp the book. As it happens, we ended up buying two import golfs. Both came with higher spec than UK cars (heated seats, lamp washers, heated washer jets, climate control) - and both have been rock solid for four years. And both were cheaper. One has needed a single brake light switch, which was sourced without issue from a main dealer. And they have both been serviced without any question by VW, and the service book stamped. It is often the case that members of car enthusiast forums, especially those dedicated to one particular marque, will often know far more about the car than any dealership. This has certainly been my experience for the Golf. As long as you research your intended purchase fully - which you are doing by asking questions of existing JDM owners, then you will be fully aware of all the differences.

All 20 are not taken yet - so if you want one, get your name down and its yours

No - were not taking the edit button away! LOL.. I couldnt cope. PS - the quote & edit buttons etc will be pushed off the screen if a large image is posted up that stretches the screen. Maybe that did it?

At the current UK/US exchange rate thats not a bad deal at all considering the specs of the car.

Unfortunately I cant make 24th or 25th June. This souds like a good gathering though, and it would certainly be interesting to see the evolution of the Z cars in the flesh. Hope it all goes well!

The continued interest from cosworth does sound good. It will be interesting to see if its a lightweight metal plenum or a plastic jobbie.

Now now gentlemen.... LOL. It is a shame that the UK Z community appears to be being let down here - perhaps things may change. If the Italians have already gone down the "guinea pig" route, perhaps we could learn from their experience? Would one of the Italian tuners be prepared to work with a UK tuning outfit to bring this to good old blighty? I have about as much knowledge about this gadget/gizmo and the whole tuning market as you could fit on the back of a postage stamp, so I may be talking out of my backside though?
