  1. I bought a polished Aluminium one and a keyring they both arrived today. kta's pictures don't do them justice. The gear knob looks , it's got a slightly satin finish and the logo really stands out. As for the keyring The etching is barely perceptible to the touch but looks the dogs. There is one problem....WHICH SIDE TO LOOK AT?!?!?! Beat you to it. Excuse the finger in the corner Behold the keyring!!! I took a picture of the other side of keyring but it had greasy fingerprints all over it.
  2. These are Peugeot 307 luggage nets but (I know from personal experience) fit perfectly in the 350Z. A net Another A little cheaper than the £45 Nissan like to charge.
  3. Non-Brembo Front 152-155NM, 15.6-15.7KgM, 113-114ftlb Non-Brembo Rear 71.6-97NM, 7.3-9.8KgM, 53-71ftlb Brembo Front 151-152NM, 15.4-15.5KgM, 111.4-112.9ftlb Brembo Rear 71.6-97NM, 7.3-9.8KgM, 53-71ftlb
  4. William, they look fantastic. Great work old chap The etching doesn't show up as well on the SS one as the brushed Al. I think I've made the right choice, if the etching isn't prominent enough, I'll stick it on a lathe and run some smooth micromesh over it to make it a more satin finish. I don't think that'd be so easy with SS. How deep is the laser etch, mate?
  5. Welcome! Like all the others have said, go for the lower mileage one it'll be easier to sell on. I woldn't worry about buying a higher mileage Z, mine's done getting on for 110,000 (54 plate) and is still sweet as a nut. If it's been serviced on time, and properly, it'll shrug off the miles.
  6. Yep it's the 307. I took the one out of the missus' old car before we sold it. It's a perfect replacement.
  7. Saw the first one in a Volvo dealer in Hook, the salesman knew nothing about them. It was about the right price and gorgeous azure. Unfortunately it was a non-GT (but with 18" wheels) was 3000 miles short of a P3 and all 4 tyres needed replacing. The salesman wouldn't move on the price so I walked. It was still there a month later but I assume they shifted it eventually.
  8. Hi Chants, Don't know whether you've already looked but this one seems to tick most of your boxes. I know it's not in one of your preferred colours but Gunmetal Grey is good for an extra 5BHP Oh yeah, I forgot.
  9. Hi Nathan, Judging by your pictures I think I live pretty close to you (the other side of the fence). I've had my Z since December and it really is a hoot. Buy a good 'un and you'll not regret it. The only problem is deciding where to start tinkering.
  10. I may have seen you bud, I have started noticing a GM coupe with an import plate around town which I havent seen before, going down oxford hill today..... Not me mate. Standard plates on mine however the spacing and font could interest the local constabulary. Got a friend coming down from oop north this weekend and promised him a blast so you may see me around.
  11. Pity to see the Z go but at least you got a decent amount for it. The VXR is quite good fun and a little more practical. Give me a flash if you see my GM (with the slightly illegal M 300 TYS plates) around Witney.
  12. Those ones are 91W rated. I'm sure these are the ones in Costco http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-NEW-CAR-TYRES-2 ... m153.l1262
  13. I went in today. They're £216 for pilot sport 225/45/18(Front) and £224 for 245/45/18. That's a little cheaper than e-tyres and it includes fitting, balancing, valves and nitrogen inflation. Ps Their oil is dirt cheap. £23 for 4l of Mobil 1 fully synthetic (0W-40), £20 for 4l Castrol Magnatec fully synthetic (5W-30).
