  1. Definitely, you wont find a better car for the money!!! and the best colour too O, and
  2. I think the main thing to look out for is the oil pressure gauge. If thats reading unusually low then you need to check it out. I bought my car with this problem, but didn`t notice it at first. When i did, panic set in i can tell you. I took it to a local garage and even though there was plenty of oil in it, the oil was totally passed its use by date. A simple oil change cured the problem and its been fine ever since and at £25 a oil change i get it done every 4000 miles. No topping up needed at all.
  3. I paid that price for mine in may, but my car had 70,000 on the clock and it`s an 04 plate!!! Gutted to say the least. At the moment your car is the bargain of the century, but not many people have that kind of money to spend in this current climate. I know if i was still looking for a zed i`d snap yours up straight away even at the original asking price. Have you taken it to a dealer yet? they should give you close on £15k for it considering i`ve seen similar models with more mileage, between £17k and £19k. Best of luck with the sale anyway
  4. When is the next Wales run?
  5. It was a quick burst early morning no traffic and a straight road
  6. I`ve done 155 on a ummm derestricted road
  7. Filters just improve the sound, so i may be a little bit biased if i suggest the JWT popcharger cos i`ve got one
  8. Welcome Kev hope the repairs go to plan, and if you need anything just ask on the forum and i`m sure one of us will help you out.
  9. Hi there mate, congrats on your new Z. If you`re after bonnet dampers then you cant go wrong with a company called Partsplaza from USA on Ebay. Bought mine from them about a month ago and they only cost 40 odd quid with the postage. No cutting is needed and the quality is bang on. I`ve noticed they are now doing carbon fibre versions as well for not much more dosh. We can arrange to meet up sometime if you want to check them out.
  10. Not really but IF it could be done, then we wouldn`t need twin turbos and the like to go quicker
  11. Not one, but three!!! 350z`s travelling northbound on the M5 between Michael Wood services and J13, at about 6:15pm. I was travelling from Gloucester back to Porthcawl thinking will i see one on the way home then bloody hell! 3 appear within minutes of each other. A sunset orange then a silver one and soon after a nice blue one on a 54 plate. I`m sure at least one is a member, was it you??
  12. Ok the burning question, can it be derestricted?
  13. I know you've worked it out for yourself, but for the benefit of other JDM owners, see this thread for conversions. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... highlight= Set the tyre pressures to 36psi and that should improve your handling as well as fuel economy
  14. Hi there, i recently fitted a bluetooth adapter and i`m using the nokia n95 with it and so far it`s worked perfectly.
  15. Can anyone suggest a good detailer in the south wales area. My car needs sorting out and i just haven`t got the time or the expertise to do it myself. Cheers
  16. Has anyone tried a magnex exhaust yet? If so, any good?
  17. If they do that size cap then i`ll put you down for a set, otherwise the caps are for the 18" rays.
  18. As an educated guess i`d say they wouldn`t fit that size wheel but i may be corrected on that. Otherwise at the end of this month i will be ordering in at least 5 sets, and the price at the mo will be around the £55 mark! If you`re interested let me know before then, thanks.Update on ordering center caps! will now order these in the next week or two once i get my exhaust sorted!! Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but i will endeavour to proceed asap thanks
  19. Yeah why not, if my exhaust hasn`t fallen off by then
  20. Hope so, as long as i get some ideas from other members for a suitable exhaust and one of the traders can fit me in with a good deal very soon!
  21. To be perfectly honest with you Phil, i dont think the rest of my exhaust has much life left in it, so i`d be better off replacing it all. I`d be looking to spend £750 tops fitted if possible, thanks.
  22. Hi all, sounds like my back box is blowing quite loudly, although it does sound awesome when you put your foot down, the resonance through the car is deafening. Priced up a new one from nissan in gloucester and i`m not suprised everyone fits aftermarket systems, they want £346 for the back box, and for the whole system, its nearly £900!! So nows the time to get my s/s system. My question is mainly directed to Kev or BigPhill, can you recommend a reasonably priced system that sounds good but doesn`t intrude into the car and is the magnex system any cop?, how are you fixed for a fitting on saturday I`m desperate to get it sorted so any advice would be great.
  23. Fitted EBC redstuff pads and discs on my civic type r and i have to be honest they were attrocious. I eventually replaced them with genuine honda items which cost a lot more but gave me more confidence when high speed braking. would never fit them on any car even if they were free!!! IMO sorry EBC.
  24. I`d be interested for sure. Looks amazing I`m also looking to buy in about 6 sets of `Z` center caps for 18" rays wheels from courtesyparts.com next week, would wait if you could bring them over yourself.
