I recommend the HKS SPF induction wise, apparently my car howls like a wounded animal

I will be there, but not in the Zed. I will however be waving like a safari park chimp out of an Audi A4 if I see any Zed's en route.

Le Mans can't come soon enough!

£670.

Hi mate,

 

These come painted in black from Nissan but they are only matt and require painting.

 

I have a brand new set of these, Front and Rear, Genuine Nissan, painted in Gloss Black (Kuro I think)

 

Cost from Nissan £76.00 per pair, so £152 + painting.

 

I need £90.00 + shipping.

 

Cheers,

 

Alex.

 

 

Thanks for your offer Alex. It's mainly as they were so cheap, although come payday I may give you a shout. There are a couple of things on the shopping list, carbon lip, tonneau etc but I'll definately get back to you.

For me (a youngster) image comes into it a fair bit.

To sum up Porsche for me, unless you have a 911, they all look quite effeminate. Non 911's are fantastic to drive but you catch your reflection in a shop window and 'steady sailor'. They just don't stand out as much as I'd like for the amount of money you need to spend on one. Wheras the 911 Turbo, really really good to drive, I would like to be seen in one.

I've driven a few Boxter's, 2.7's, S' etc, really good/fun to drive, but ultimately, I wouldn't want to be seen driving it. I've only seen women driving the Cayman and it just doesn't look as 'ard as the 911, no doubt it's good though.

Same with the SLK, driven one, brilliant fun with top down etc, but wouldn't want to be seen in it. Wheras an SL, I'd have one of those.

As above with the Audi TT.

I think the least effeminate cars are the Z4M and the S2000 but they just aren't as hairy chested as the 350z.

But then again, 'you shouldn't car what others think' apparently.

350z = MAN CAR!

Tits.

Always fancied a set of these, and my 350 is black.

I've used the Autosmart products at work, it's good gear.

Tardis is top notch for what it does, it does give me a headache though One of those small bottles will be all you need for a long time.

Platinum is pretty good, easy to apply and remove, does give a nice and crisp shine.

If I could just recommend one thing you could maybe start doing, is Autosmart Highstyle. I find it top notch for tyres.

Even if your hot hatch accelerates at the same rate of knots, would you not rather be in a 350z?

It does accelerate quickly, doesn't give you the kick in the back, but it's really not slow.

As above, it's quite deceptive, toe it watch the speedo needle whip round.

Plus you have the noise!

Just turned 23 when I bought mine (although I do look 16).

Financed it at a base rate, very cheap car for what it was.

I don't earn a staggeringly big wage.

£250 ish per month for the 350. Insurance is £700 or something, I just pay it in one go. Always have. First car was a Celica GT at 19, insurance was £1700, paid it in full, and the car. All my savings.

Oh and I've smoked like a chimney throughout (not in the cars though), I do occasionally go out but it's not really my bag. Been on a few extravagant holidays.

Fuel, I just put more in when it's running low. No idea how much it costs me. 3 tanks a month?

I don't spend money like it's going out of fashion, I will never spend my whole months pay by a mile.

Because I do that, I don't really check my bank balance, I just spend and work it out in my head. Then I get paid, and I have more money than when I got paid from the month before.

I do live with mummy and daddy. I'll buy a house when I find a girl worth marrying, it'll half the mortgage.

at that price "US $575,100" it would be too common for me

That's about £574,000 isn't it?

You high roller you!

I had just turned 23 when I bought mine

That's just how I roll!

Get one.

They will have HPI'd the vehicle, if they haven't, they're very very silly. They will probably keep it for the the dealers filing but get them to photocopy it for you if they won't do you another.

I think our HPI's (at work) cost around £4 ish.

Check the date, make sure it's nice and recent.

I'm very tempted to have it away but the lack of cup holders means it's a no no for me. Oh well!

Practicalities ey!

I'd be interested in the same kinda thing!

I'd prefer an identical version to the Nissan burger, but just saying Datsun.

Looks great!

Really really like the wheels. I'm assuming not particulary cheap?

Are they twinned with lowering and spacers? The stance looks spot on.

Tis great living with a 350z.

Had mine for 3-4 months now. It can drink fuel, but I'm not too bothered, I knew it wasn't a Polo Bluewhale or whatever. When it's out of go faster juice, I put more in, easy!

I'm single so with two seats, it's twice as practical as I need. It has a boot which to put work bag which contains my sandwiches (it's more than big enough for it)

It's Japanese, so it'll start on cold mornings and get me to work (excluding snow)

It has lots of torque, I don't have a need to change down as much (last car was a Celica)

It turns heads, in a good way. Not in a 'check my Saxo with 5" exhaust' way.

It sounds beautiful!

People I find pull out in front of me rather cheekily, I can only assume this because 'I'm a young flash b4stard in flash car etc' but with many horsepowers, overtaking is no problem. It can get annoying if there are no safe overtaking opportunities, but pop her in 6th, relax, and save a little fuel.

Get one bought!!

I absolutely love mine to bits.

I'm a little confused about the tyre width section he's posted....

Not to worry. I'm assuming these are the same sizes as standard wheels (18's) and the Rays.

So if someone snapped these up, refurbed them, you could just put on the tyres you have now? (Assuming you have 18's)

Do you mean the alarm sensors?

 

Always thought they were the car phone mics

 

Bugger, same here!

 

When I'm on the phone, I kinda talk towards them......

 

Where is the phone mic?

 

Black thing at the bottom of the 1st pic is the mic, near the winscreen

Nice one mate!

I was half in the right direction!

Looks the actual tits mate, nicely done

We all know it's 10x cooler to have some Mine's shiney bits.

That looks familiar!

Well done on the JP shoot by the way

I'm afraid he never got round to going, not much help there!

Sorry mate.

I'm a little bit happier now!

Thanks Squarehead

I shouldn't listen to idiots at work!

Even if it was £400 a year, I'd pay it just to stick two fingers up at the goverment!

I've had a bad day anyway

Well yeah.

I did some research and it looks like all us pre-06 ones are staying in band L??

I'm hearing so many different things about this, like we're going to be paying £400, then we're going to be £210 for 2 years. But looking at the Autotrader link, we're staying at the price we're paying now....?!?
