  1. I reckon I've lost about £24k Paid £30k for a GT Coupe with a factory Nismo kit in 2005. Spent an additional £2k on 19' LMGT4s and LED rear lights. Over the past 10 yrs it's probably only about £2.5k/yr and only gonna get better..........BARGAIN My only regret is not buying it when it sooner!
  2. Seems like you're a lucky man Far2lively. Can't get a cheaper fix than a tap on the gauge Reminds me of a cheap fix I had when all the lights lit up on the dash...TCS/ABS/ESP and all I needed was a brake pedal switch Fingers crossed you have many trouble free miles to come.
  3. Curse this thread. Nightmare last night my zed got stripped down to a shell
  4. That is legendary! You win hands down as the most dedicated kebab lover GAME OVER FOR THE REST OF US
  5. I've worked just off the curry mile in Manchester for 20years and have gone there almost every lunchtime! I love them all. Have to be on a naan. EVERYTHING on. For a chicken tikka.........Afghan Cuisine (they do it just right, big chunks and never dried out on the grill) (their kobeda kebabs are great too, like a doner/seek hybrid) Chicken/lamb shwarma.......Atlas Shwarma (cheap but fresh) Seek kebabs.......Sajaan is my favourite at the moment (huge portions ) I love chicken donner too, but damn that red food colouring is messy and almost semi permanent on your hands AND LIPS I'm just a greedy bugger so I'll summarise with I LOVE EM ALL........AND MY FAV PLACE IS THE ENTIRE CURRY MILE
  6. Apparently the police do have a profile to look out for when doing stop and search. Years back my mate got stopped in his 200sx at night. Not speeding. Coppers told him he just fitted the profile as a young asian lad in a fast car. He didn't get any other hassle as soon as they saw his elderly dad in the front and mum in the back!
  7. My Zed nightmares are more to do with theft of car or rims. Wife will often tell me if I have a nightmare.......AFTER THE FACT. "yeh.....figured you were having a nightmare....you were sweating and murmering!" But did she wake me.......HELL NO! On the flipside. One night my sleep is rudely disrupted with my wife shaking me "oi....wake up.......what you grinning about? Gave her strict instructions. Cold sweats and trembling.......wake me up ASAP. Grinning and smiling.....leave me the **** alone and let me sleep
  8. For a second I thought I saw a body underneath the passenger side of the EVO after it slid into the side road Was it just tyre debris? So many comments on Liveleak on how unfortunate it was the EVO didn't crash. I think it was really FORTUNATE and hopefully was the perfect experience to educate the driver to be more cautious and realise nomatter how good the car he is not invincible. Hopefully a life changing experience the driver will never forget
  9. Years ago I returned to my sunset orange coupe to find a parking ticket. Read it as follows. ...... Make: Nissan Model: 350z Colour: UNKNOWN?
  10. I polished my headlights in July too. Used Gtechniq C4 on top as a uv barrier. Early days yet but so far still look pristine.
  11. Both rides are looking mighty fine. Love the paint and the rims on your Supra.
  12. Zed looks great under forecourt lights. Enjoy the car AND the owners club
  13. A new guy at work commented on my Zed. First question was quite expected........"I'm liking the body mods, any changes to the engine?" Second question almost left me speechless. "IS IT A DIESEL?"
  14. Had my Nismo V1 fibreglass front end for 10years and no cracks. Even with stock suspension I have had some minor scrapes on the underside of the front where not visable. This is usually driving onto raised driveways where the road dips into the curbside and the drive is then on an incline ie double whammy. Never scraped a speedbump. I do avoid many a multistorey car park though
  15. Mine was the clock spring. Available 2nd hand on ebay. My independent garage charged about £100 to supply and fit He advised caution sourcing myself as if the old one had been "turned" or fiddled with it could be easily damaged. So if you get one yourself DON'T TWIST OR FIDDLE WITH IT
  16. ^+1 on Dennis Hopper vs Christopher Walkden. What a line to spin to the bad guy in sich a situation!
  17. Congratulations on choosing a Zed and finding the owners club. The OC is fantastic and really makes zed ownership that extra bit special.
  18. When my zed was 3yrs old and out of warranty I left the main dealers and ran on Mobil1 0w40 for 5 yrs followed by 2 yrs on Castrol Edge 0w30 and my DE engine hasn't shown any noticeable oil consumption at all This is all normal driving though There will be better oils for extreme track use.
  19. I'm sure you'll be fine. 0w30 5w30 0w40 and 5w40 are all listed in the handbook as being ok for the zed, with 5w30 being the recommended viscosity.
  20. I don't do arty french films bu this comedy is one of my all time favourites Le Diner de Cons (the dinner game) Made in '98 with a poor American remake not long ago.
  21. I've not had to recharge or repair my AC in 10 years and it's still icy cold in summer
  22. Could be moisture in the AC system that condenses during use and sits there once it's switched off. Like you say, switching it on clears the moisture but as soon as you turn car off and restart but with AC off you can smell that damp musty smell. Option 1 Keep AC on permanently. Option 2 If you use your AC, 5 mins before you end your journey turn AC off and heater on high. This dries off any moisture that has condensed in the system so that next day when you start car with AC off NO SMELL You should run the AC on at least once every week or so even in winter or the pipes dry out, crack and leak resulting in no AC come summer time. In winter turning heater on with AC acts like a dehumidifier. Don't have to run the AC on cold during winter!
  23. Third option that I went for. Bought 2 new rears. Kept the old one. 2 yrs later I got another puncture on one of the rears. By that time the tread on the spare matched the other one and I was good to go Do I count myself lucky or unlucky I suppose if you consider the 2nd hand value not worthwhile you could keep it as a spare if you had space to store it.
  24. It might be a colour Porsche offer coz I've seen a similar 911 numerous times here in Manchester. Either that or them Porker lovers have great taste in choosing a colour for a respray!
