  1. How is it a security measure? Surely all they need to know is your registration. We dont even have the company name on our passes.
  2. Probably not your cup of tea re the M3 but I just bought a 335d M sport coupe, its pretty quick and chipped runs 350bhp 700nm but not sure if I want to do that to the transmission. Might be out of your budget too. Difficult to tell you what car might work as you ruled most of them out in your first post.
  3. Well, the car is going to be PX'd Saturday, with mixed feelings as the time approaches. Some cars are bought with the heart, I wasn't even looking for another car when I saw this one, I was looking for a car for my wife in fact. I test drove it and chopped in my Lexus. There is a certain something with the 350Z, the handling, the noise it makes and the immediate power, then the little bit extra when the cams or valve lifters work, (whatever it is, not sure of the term). There is also the colour, the looks and comments it gets, it only ever receives praise. So it will be with sadness that we part tomorrow, I'm not even sure how one explains that connection you get with a machine, its something our brains do to put a personality to a car. The new car had to be bought with my head, some heart but mostly for practicality and economy with future higher mileage trips coming up. I am absolutely sure it wont get the same comments the Z did. Farewell my sunset Z, you will be missed.
  4. The car is being px'd against the BMW very soon so if anyone wants to make me an offer above 14K? you had better be quick. Although I think the readership here already have Z's as I have not had any interest apart from people saying bargain or similar..
  5. I bought the BMW 335d, awesome performance, planted, loud pedal, thump in the back, relentless, feels like it will just keep going like that way over the speed limit and beyond the limiter. in gear acceleration is also brilliant, overtaking is a breeze. The 350Z must go, is there no one that wants an immaculate GT in orange, recently serviced and MOT'd for £14500 Bargain price, Nissan dealer up the road has one on in grey on a 56 for 17K
  6. Well I am going to try and drive them back to back. I drove the Audi 2.7d and the 330d coupe and the bmw felt quicker but wasn't as quiet engine and road noise. After power the sound system is next most important and I dont really fancy spending another 3k or so on top of the bmw to get the ice updated. There cant be that much difference between them engineering wise, yes one is straight the other v6, I am sure both will do 150k miles quite easily if I keep them that long.
  7. It is on ebay now, the reserve is £14500, so if anyone on here wants to give me that for the car..... I checked out Lexus, GS450h, very quick, strange though because it is CVT there isnt a rise and fall of revs, if you floor it the engine revs high and stays there, but the styling is a bit old now and it has no boot really, not much bigger than a Focus hatch. So I looked at Audi and BMW, and now the decision is between a sline 3.0l auto diesel A4 quattro or 335d M sport coupe auto, both similar performance 0-62 in 6.1 but I think the audi has it just on the stereo being bang and olufson, whereas the bmw one is poo.
  8. Ok, I have seen a car I might want to buy, so for you lot if anyone is really interested I will drop the price to £15,295 The Porsche is also for sale, find it on ebay, under user wildbytes.
  9. I don't really drive it into Maidstone very often.. I do see other Z's but most of the time I am not in mine!
  10. Service guy said rear tyres are at 3mm centre 4mm outer so they will be replaced before the car is sold. I have never needed sat nav, still use maps as they don't tend to be wrong often. My wife uses one, and when I used it, it was telling me to go down roads I know better it was telling me the wrong way (the busy way). I used to be a mobile engineer in the south east so I know the roads quite well. If I were to use one I would use a mobile version. The only benefit I can see is if you find one that has reliable TMC and the alternative roads are clear. But nowadays I try to avoid using the roads at all when they will be at their busiest. I used to love driving, now it is a pain, I digress, this is a lovely car, hasn't been car park dinged, the panels all look perfect to me, some stone chips in the front but I touch them in when I wash it.
  11. @sparky. The point being I don't need to sell it, if someone wants an excellent Sunset GT, low mileage 10 months tax 1 year MOT and just serviced, it has to be worth the price. I am not going to give it away, if the price is set lower then I may as well sell it to a dealer, but would rather sell it to someone who likes Z cars. Perhaps not bothered was a bit flippant, but really if no one buys it I am quite happy to keep it, as it is a fantastic car. When I get my 928 race car I probably wont drive it much, hence someone else can enjoy it. @bronzee. Thanks, I will take a look. The car is in Kent by the way.
  12. My Sunset GT 350Z, completely standard, main dealer full service history, only 19K miles. Just had service and first MOT, taxed till 05/10. First registered September 28th 2006 so today is the cars birthday. Orange leather, reverse sensors, bluetooth, 350Z mats, excellent condition inside and out and supaguarded by dealer. Small scuff on rim of front alloy was there when I bought the car. £14500 I have decided to use my Porsche for my daily, I am buying an older '79 928 to race so I wont need the Z anymore. Contact pagnobito@hotmail.com in the first instance, or pm me. You can ask questions here, but anything such as 'its too expensive' will be deleted. I have no need to sell the car, not bothered if it doesn't but if you want a nice low mileage sunset GT in excellent condition then here it is and that is the price.
  13. The only thing I have noticed is mainly graphics, with grass coming out the roof of my car and on the start line sometimes the car is jacked up, but it sorts itself out. It has only crashed once on me (PC version). Last night I raced in Tier 3 endurance, 3 laps of the ring, best lap 7:11, won the race with about 7 seconds on the next car. I was using the GT-R V spec, maxed out but you can't works convert it, nevertheless an awsome car! I have about 9 million dollars now, no idea what to spend it all on!
  14. Thanks! I have an EA nations account, for the Wii linked to any EA game I think so maybe the photo mode will work for me, otherwise I will try the Fraps thing.
