  1. The Tom Tom 300/500/700 fir into the cubby hole in the centre console (where Nissan sat nav would be). They are a very tight fit, but yes they canbe placed in there.
  2. Hi, nice to see another join up Are you an owner?
  3. Welcome to the site! Glad to see the car puts as much of a smile on your face as it does mine! (and no doubt every other owners too!). Ive only had mine just over a couple of months now, but its the missus' daily drive, so the weekends are my fun times. Once the meets start happening, you'll have to come along - just look out for a bunch of other people with smiles from ear to ear! LOL
  4. It has now been changed so people can post their own events in the "meets, shows and events" area. Annoucement modified accordingly Hope we can start filling it up with meets now
  5. Hi, You may have already noticed, but we are pleased to announce that an events calendar has now been added to the site. You can access this calendar in two ways: First by means of the calendar button at the very top of the main menu. (just underneath the logo). This will take you to a month per page viewof the calendar. Secondly, you can click the smaller calendar button in the page header, (just above the "view posts since last visit" button) This will drop down a quick bar showing events for the current week. Another click of the button hides this bar. We hope this will make it a little easier for our members to find out what's on, and when. Members can even post their own events in the "meets, shows and events" area When posting a new topic in that section of the forum, extra options will be available which will allow you to provide dates (and if required, times and durations) for your event. If these are completed, your topic will automatically appear in the calendar. Lets see those meets.... Regards, The 350z-uk.com Team.
  6. Glad you go it sorted Val. Looks like some very tidy work too!
  7. :scare: I dont know if I dare look!!! I will have a look in the daylight tomorrow if I remember, but Im not impressed. Especially if they say its NOT a manufacturing fault! Is it supposed to crack! Would you be able to take a picture so we all know what to look for?
  8. Where abouts are you located - you may be able o get someone to pop round and provide a demo of the engine noise - LOL. There are some exhaust sond clips on 350z-tech.com here: http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Part:Exhaust_Systems The sounds that various exhausts make can be tested. A PC or stereo will probably not be anything near as good as the real thing though..
  9. Hi Nat. Nice to see you here. Sorry to see the upset on your current forum, I'm sure it will be fixed soon. Feel free to pass on our name to anyone who is a fan of or owner of a Z. Ill let anyone who shows interest who has a modded motor know of your site too.
  10. I think it looks quite nice. Hope fitting goes ok!
  11. Got an 05 and its got the crappy key too. I was looing forward to some nice flip out (a la VW/Audi style) key with a fancy Z. I would be interested in other options as well. I agree, the keys look naf.
  12. I like the way the pedestrians behind just keep walking instead of seeing if the chap is alright!

  14. Broadband fixed at home now (touch wood). Gallery should be working ok again now guys and gals. Let me know if you still have any problems...
  15. Hi welcome to the site... Strange coincidence you should have switched from a Tuscan, myself and the missus were looking at one of these at the same time as the Z, but as it was to be the missus's daily drive, and would have to use it rain or shine, or snow, the lack of traction control, abs etc was the deciding factor. Id still love to have one some day for the sheer fun though. Those Blackpool rockets certainly do have some nice style and are ferrari/lambo quick at less than half the price! As for gremlins or niggles on the Z, the only one I have found so far, (only had the car a couple of months or so) is that there are no Stereo/phone controls on the UK roadsters. Hopefuly soon to be rectified by a modification I want to do. Some say the standard tyres are a little poor a regards grip in the damp/wet, but I drive like my grandad, so havent had a problem yet.
  16. Congratulations Eddie. All the best for Daniel, Amanda and yourself.
  17. From what I have heard, some rolling roads can be a little "optimistic". Though I have also heard that many maufacturers underestimate the power of the vehicles, in order to avoid pottential backlashes if the figures dont stack up to the adverts. Whos going to go back and complain that their performancecar has more horsepower than stated? The MKIV golf was notorious for this, many 130BHP TDIs would rolling road at 140+ for example. the 150bhp models would sometimes push 165. Strange but true.
  18. Do you think we could arrange some sort of a convoy from a nearby services?
  19. Hi, welcome to the site. Another rag top owner, yay!
  20. The problem is I hear the RE040's are tough as old boots and dont wear down quickly - and Ive got two sets to chew through!
  21. Ive not dealt with m first set yet! LOL I know I probably paid over the odds, but it was very convenient being just down the road, and also I like the OEM look. I like to blend in... LOL. The are only £1k from a dealer if you buy them with the car, if you want to buy them later, they want £1k per wheel.
  22. Hi, I recently bought a set of rays, with only 3k miles on the rubber, unmarked, they cost me £990. They have gone for less, but if you are in the local area of someone who wants a set (as was the case with the chap who sold me mine) you should be looking at maybe up to and over a grand. Bare in mind these are a £1k option, andif you want to buy them new from Nissan, they quote £1k per wheel. If these are the 06 alloys you are talking about, then you may be looking at even more than £1k, as they will be rare as hens teeth. And certainly attractive for those with pre 06 cars and standad wheels.
  23. Im starting to think that it could take off... But then again maybe not.... As the plane starts to move forward, the speed of the conveyor increases and moves it back at the same rate. It makes no difference where the thrust comes from - the conveyor can still counteract the thrust by way of moving the plane back at the same rate it attempts to move forward. head hurts now, and I have to get some work done!
  24. If you could get a big enough fan, and tie a plane to the ground with a long chain.. if the fan blows hard enough, you could get the plane to lift off the ground. What a surreal conversation... LOL
  25. I find it weird too... Why a bunny smilie? Why does it have a pancake on its head, and why does it show its bum? Weird. Ahh well, one of those things.. LOL
