Chesterfield

La la la, im not listening.... I cant afford it so soon after Christmas, and buying the Z! Stop it!

My 32" widescreen is on its way out - or at least it was a few weeks ago, I wacked it, which broke the buttons on the top, but seemed to fix it! Grrrr.... I want a 42" plasma or LCD but can't justifyit until this one gives up! Haven't got the XBOX360 yet either, but will probably get one around easter time..

You can always set it to "remember me" when you log in, then you auto log in. Obvioulsy not reccomended for shared PC's. Its up to you guys, but we will leave the status quo in place until the end of the poll, which will be left in place until such time as a reasonable number of members have had their vote.

Just you Val, maybe its overheating? Nearly 700 posts in ten days!

Yes he does seem to have access to quite a few photo collections like that - I swear that lad will go blind... I have not voted in this, as I am here to carryout the wishes of the masses, not to subject my opinion on them...

All, As we are starting to become busier we feel it may be time to restrict the viewing of this forum to registered members only. Dont worry, we aren't changing from our 100% free stance, we just feel that as we become more popular, there are a growing number of guests browsing this forum without taking the time to register. To ensure that all the benefits of this forum are made available to those who take the time to register, we are considering restricting viewing to registered members only. The forum will remain free to register, and free to use, this will NOT change. Obviously, we wish to know what our members want, if you guys say keep it open to view by the public, thats how it will stay. If you want these boards to be used only by those who take the time to register, thats how it will be. So in true democratic style - the choice is yours...

Midlands meet coordinator required.....! Count me in!

Done...

I must be tired, both the gallery and the map were mentioned before I made my post! Ahh well, you cant get too much of a good thing!

Hi Will, Welcome to our humble abode. Just up the road from myself in Chesterfield. I hope you like what we have created here - feel free to make use of your gallery space and add yourself to the map here and see where everyone else is If you feel anything could be better here, or have any suggestions at all, please feel free to post in the suggestions area. With input from members we truly can create a great community here. Off to bed for me now though - to many late nights recently! Chris.

Ill drop 350zNismo a PM, pointing him in the direction of this thread. He is one of the admins here, so should be around soon. So you fancy a roadster then?

I really cant understand all this nonsense that the insurance market places over this "import" market. It all stems back to the eighties when japanese imports were considerably different to their UK counterparts. For instance, there are many companies that discount an import, and refuse to quote outright. Which raises an interesting question when it comes to VW (as well as other marques). Where is the VW factory in the UK? Answer - there isnt one. They are all imported. Indeed my import Golf was built in the same factory as a friend UK car. Insurers just try to use it as a reason to try fleecing people. Either that, or they can't get past their eighties blinkers, and see todays import market for what it is, which in reality is hardly any differences from UK cars...

Im pretty sure the are separate enities. The imobiliser kicks in every time you take your keys out of the ignition. That way the car is still secure if you leave it unlocked on a forecourt or while you are washing it and going to fill your bucket etc... At least thats the way I thought it worked, so the car was still secure even if you forget to lock it.

There are quite a few member with imports, I know 350zNismo has a import roadster. He and others should be able to provide advice on how they did it, who they used, and any snags or issues you may need to be aware of. Good luck!

Spill, I'll be interested in following this. I have never undertaken anything as major as this, and would be a complete novice if I tried now. I will be interested in seeing just how well you get on, as it is certainly something that may be on the cards for mine once the warranty expires. I take my hat off to you - that is dedication and determination!

Do you mind me asking how much? Would be great to see them on and lit.

Alex, We certainly do wish to arrange meets. Until recently there were very few members aboard to arrange a meet. You are correct, most members are indeed further south than yourself (Im in Chesterfield, and there are a few around the Manchester area that I know of). All members are welcome to add themselves to this site HERE (kindly set up by one of the members) This may aid in setting up any future meets, and also help you locate members in your area should you need physical help at all. We certainly will be arranging meets, indeed if we gain enough members around the land to make regional meets a possibility, we will almost certainly need a coordinator for each area (as Val has mentioned) - fancy taking on the role for anything north of the border? We look forward to arranging our first meet!

Our "sporty" car before the Z was a 1.8 Mazda MX-5 Sport. That wasn't to shabby as far as fun was concerned, but the Z is in a whole new league for me. The first time I took it out the traction control saved me making a mess twice. It didn't however stop me from almost making a mess in my jeans, and taking the car home for fear of wrecking it on its maiden voyage! Just take care in the wet! If you are coming from a 206 1.6, into a Z, I wouldn't be taking the traction control off during the winter thats for sure!

Other than Ford when he wanted a GT... Which I think he has now sold anyway... I do like him for entertainment value. I bought the book of his Sunday times articles - very funny.

Welcome aboard... All these new mebmbers are new to me - Didn't get to know many before the new year. Im starting to feel like an outsider! Hope you enjoy the forum..

Yes there were But we aren't talking about that now - hopefully it will return peace to the lands...

If you wish to offer a discount to members of 350z-uk.com, please contact myself or any one of the moderators or administration team, we will be happy to discuss and post your offer for our members. Many Thanks, Chris.

Yes - its a feature neither place wants to advertise.....

Hi Kuro, I was only around for a few weeks on the old site before it closed, so didn't get to know many members. Welcome to our humble home... Its small but effective (as the anoying advert says) I hope you enjoy the forum, and if you feel anything is missing or needs improving, don't be afraid to post up in the suggestions section. (we already have several to work on! ) Glad to have another colour on board too! There is a "what colour is best" poll somewhere around here where the GM and Blue boys are running away with it!
