  1. The best way to avoid swirl marks on a black Z is to buy a sunset orange Z instead
  2. That review can only help the resale values of the 350Z
  3. I'm clicking on view new posts as i've always done, but i just clicked on view unread posts and that showed up 1 page! so maybe i'll use that clicky in future
  4. If you're insurance company won't recognise the car as being a UK spec then its time to look else where and find a good deal. I went to Swiftcover.com and they more than halved my quote down to 350 quid Then 2 weeks later i wrote my car off and i had a cheque off them within 4 weeks. Great service and everything was done online, couldn't fault them
  5. On the very first page it should tell you who the supplying dealer was, but it does sound like a uk car.
  6. Have you seen the service history for it? If not then you shouldn't have put a deposit down. The service history will show you where the car was purchased new, and who the original owner was. Go back and check. Sometimes though the insurance companies haven't got a clue, so i would say the car is a uk version but just make sure.
  7. Ok just did what you advised and its still showing all the pages, but the icons on the left are all light in colour showing that its been read. When i used to mark all posts as read before it would completely empty the pages, so i wouldn't see anything at all until a new post was added. Strange!!
  8. Have you checked out the two sunsets on ebay today? Ones a 53 plate with full nismo kit and all the mods in the engine bay (stunning), and the other is a 55 plate standard. Both with really low mileages and available for less than 12.5k
  9. Now its showing........Go to page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ... 20 Next
  10. You're eyes aint deceiving you, one of the members is selling some bits on ebay and i think he's rubbing his hands at the moment. I think JDM sell the gear knobs for £113 new but not 100% sure.
  11. Can someone please let me know why my pages are increasing by the day? I keep on top of all the posts, so basically read everything that is posted. Normally, i've got a single page to get through, but for the past couple of days even though i'm reading all the posts my pages are still increasing. I have't altered anything in my user control panel so i cant understand why this is suddenly happening. Any ideas???
  12. You'll need to take the car to them to get a correct colour match, as the code will not always give you the right shade.
  13. Where you from? The dealers in the south Wales area charge around the £280 mark. I took my car to Nis-Tec (a nissan specialist) for a P1 last week, and was charged just over £50! that was supplying my own oil. They said the P3 would cost £200 and a P2 would be £130, so as you can see it pays to check out the independents.
  14. It looks like the autoleads version. I'll be popping in there tomorrow so i'll see what fascia they supplied.
  15. I like the Greddy skirts, but not a fan of the ings rear bumper.
  16. Ok just had a price off Adam, basically he can do 10 of these for $862.25 delivered to one address. At todays exchange rate thats about £53 per person. Don't forget custom charges, i think its 20% on top. (Please correct me if i'm wrong). So worst case scenario could see it come to £63 with charges. If you feel thats too much then by all means drop out, but if we can get up to 15 or 20 peeps interested then i'm sure Adam can drop that price even further Courtesyparts can do the deal for $859.17 overall which is negligible really, Adam is a reputable trader on here, so he deserves the trade. Unless of course some of you are interested in other bits from the Courtesyparts shop, then we'll sort something out. Cheers all.
  17. Spokes are powdercoated anthracite, the entire inside of the wheel is also powder coated and the part of the dish that contains the RAYS ENGINEERING FORGED writing is also powder coated. The rest from there to the lip has been refurbed and looks like a diamond cut finish on it and polished up. Will get some close ups this weekend. I took my car for a price today for a full wheel refurb and was quoted 200 quid all in Then i asked about doing the same thing as yours and was quoted 300 quid all in, but he said he might have problems cutting in close to the spokes! How did yours fair? looks like a perfect job to me The quotes were for painted not powder coated by the way. What did you pay altogether if you don't mind me asking?
  18. Thanks for that Just had a quote for 200 bucks all in so may go for that if i can ever decide on a colour to go for
  19. Hi Steve, Another poster suggested I got in touch with you as you had recently bought one. I do about 20000 miles a year so I was hoping to go low mileage but I dont really want to spend more that £12500. I am looking at this at the moment: http://users.autoexposure.co.uk/vehicle.cfm?Account=AETA14316&Style=2&Id=AETV65405677&Image=http://imageserver.autoexposure.co.uk/autoedit/AETA14316/AETV65405677_1a.jpg Appart from some of the photos have some dodgy lighting I was hoping to pop up next weekend and look at it in more detail. What do you think about it's spec and price? I will also take a gander round ebay I looked at that car, on autotrader i think, and have to say if i had been in a better position money wise, then i'd of gone to view that. If it was ok i would of snapped it up. Looks like a really good buy, but not fussy on the black wheels Would of used that as a bargaining tool to get the price down to below 12.5k. Buyers market out there, so assuming you think its the car for you then offer something like 11.8k to get the ball rolling. He might laugh at you, but he'll know that you are seriously interested and the bargaining will begin. Good luck
  20. I read somewhere that using carplan silver paint is a perfect match for your rays wheels. So i thought i'd get some to tidy them up a little. When i went to buy the paint, they had quite a few different shades and also a dedicated wheel silver paint. Is that the one i go for, or can someone who has done this advise me on the correct paint to use please. This is only an experiment, if it comes out crap then i'll get them refurbed
  21. A new one from JDM is 113 quid if i remember correctly.
