Firstly WOW at all this controversy!!!

If ive offended anyone (which clearly some are) then i must apologise for that.

I havent posted anything on this forum about 350zoc therefore didnt see it would cause an issue, Certainly any issue to this extent.

The OC has been setup purely as a resource and also as ive been very apt at gaining discounts, meets and a good reputation over on the R32oc. These qualities i feel i can provide to other car forums too. (i'm aware this is also a resource)

I dont find it appropriate to join a forum and within 5 minutes having not met or spoken to people to then try and muscle in sorting meets etc.

Any meet thats geared for 350z's is surely better the more people attend therefore i opened up the KK meet to those few members that have signed over on OC.

I did post at that time usernames on the "who's attending list" and next to that this site address so its not like i was hijacking it. Clearly the KK meet is for -UK members, Ive just invited any further owners along.

As i say, The sites not meant to cause offence, If it doesnt work then Hey i tried!!!

The internets a large place and i dont see any problem why the OC cant co-exist without any sort of ill feeling.

Personally if people dont like the idea or dont want to view it then its personal choice. Please dont think i'll be on here promoting the site or always have underhand tactics when it comes to any events etc.

Thanks to those for their best wishes with the site, Hopefully i wont be ousted here from the word go. After all i'm just after enjoying the Zed and a few discounts along the way!!!

Sad to see it go i bet!

Anyway back on track...... The parts Vultures are circling lol.

Quick Bump for this meet.

Ok final date, Moved on a bit to allow people to re-arrange or arrange stuff.

Sunday 4th of October.

I appreciate theres always a few that have stuff arranged but maybe we could now set this date

If we try for 2pm ?? Its always quieter on a Sunday so we'll have space for plenty of pics !!!

New list :

Macdaddy

Gutted, I'm away at Awesome-Gti's summer BBQ

I'd love a run out up to the lakes

That include it starting the car too ??

Ive just been quoted £150 for a brand new one from Nissan.

Ok,

New and final date is 20th of Sept which is a Sunday. 2pm

Can mods please clean the thread up with the new date and we can start a new list.

Thanks

Is the weekend after better then ? Saturday 12th or Sunday 13th.

Rather change it if it means a few more can attend

Sundays always quieter so how about this date then?

Looks like a great turnout you lot had last time, We'll be sure to get plenty of pics !!!

Great thanks, i'll look forward to the pics.

Apologies if this steps on anyones toes, Not sure if you have a dedicated way of sorting meets etc.

We've had half a dozen meets at Krispy Kreme's, The trafford Centre now on the R32 forum and its always worked very well.

Anyone fancy a meet for October Sun 4th at 2pm

Gives plenty of time to organize stuff in advance

i'd suggest perhaps a meet time of around 2pm too, Its a great venue and Doughnuts are yum!

Names if interested:

How was the ride afffected by the springs in comparison to stock?

Any pics of them fitted to the car to show us the ride height?

Thanks

Nice to see a Zed revived and rescued !!!

Might get a quote for some work from there as it looks a good job.

You based Nr Wigan if i was to look at the quality of the work?

Pure-detail are very good, Have used Cav to do my last two cars.

He'll do anywhere in the NW or if you fancy a drive he has a unit in Chorley, Lancashire.

If anyones interested in a group discount let me know as i could arrange it for you.

Is it this one??

If it is its fricking awesome and a great price too !!!!

GLWS

Is it unmarked ?

Well we picked the Zed up Yesterday lunch time but due to family commitments pretty much drove straight home along the motorway in slow moving traffic.

Today however was a different story.

Washed waxed and polished first thing then...

Having both been out for a good long drive along some nice twisties we are now both sat at home with big grins!!!

We'd still be out if we didnt have to have sunday lunch with family

Might be Carolines car but even as a passenger the ride felt good. She did let me drive it home some of the way tho and it really feels like a sports car.

My R32 is a great drive but the Zeds way different and maybe even feels a little bit more special..... Dont tell the R32OC guys that tho

First "owner" Impressions are very very positive

Looking forward to getting to steal the keys more often and having some fun

Spotted a few times around 8am ish,

Along the Grane rd, Blackburn towards the M65.

Looks mint, On a 53 or 54 plate i think. Anyone here??

Obviously i noticed the zed before we bought one however i still dont see that many even when i'm looking.

Were there any numbers released by Nissan as to how many UK cars were made/sold??

Sorry if its been asked before

Nice pics of those muscle cars

More pics of the Zeds next time tho lol

Looking forward to seeing your car Mike, Looks gleaming!!! Liking that carbon/black front too

Yea i'm a member on the TT owners club, Not been around/posted there for ages tho.

Excellent , Name added to the list !!!

Certainly in the Vw's i'm used to the tiptronic's are always fractionally quicker to 60 than manuals.

For me tho i'm a manual only kinda guy.

Hate the way the auto's change up in corners and unsettle the car.

The VW DSG box however is being tuned so it can be used fully manual and doesnt change until you decide. If this goes for all auto's then i could be tempted to admi they are ok !

You can buy tigerseal from ebay and it goes in a mastic gun, you could use tape until you get some.

Thats the stuff.

Is this still going to go ahead?

Would be good to show off the new Zed and meet some people.

I'd also like to hear some aftermarket exhausts to help my choice.
