Without a divider, passers by can see whatever "goodies" you may have left in your boot. Worse still, if you are on the way back from the supermarket in a hurry and suddenly hit the brakes, you may get hit in the head by a bread roll projected from the boot behind

Well who would have guessed. Better start changing your username to professorZMANALEX

Looks like an odd gizmo. Got me wondering what it's for too!

Thanks for all the replies. I now know more about Ears and noses. Nasal hair. fingernails and death and Prince Charles .......I will continue to wonder how hair knows what length to grow to once cut though.

Glad it was a simple fix. These simple fixes never work for me. My dash lights were from a failing brake pedal switch. Not long ago my airbag light came on coz of the sensor behind the steering wheel whereas normally its just a wiggle of the connectors under the seat. Oh well......still small niggles in the grand scale of things and insignificant compared to the joy the Zed brings

Stupid phone gave a double post. Apologies and mods feel free to delete one.

My TCS ABS and ESP lights came on again. Happened 12 months ago and forum members pointed me in the direction of the brake light switch. I ordered the part but on giving it a wiggle and a jiggle the problem dissappeared so I just stored the spare part. Well this time no jiggery pokery worked so I changed out the part and the brake ligjts work again and the lights are off. There was no 350z specific video on YouTube but the above link on a Nissan Sentra is almost identical. Hope it helps fellow novices to car diy like me.

My dad has black box fitted as he's retired and never in a rush to get anywhere. He drives a seven seater to ferry around grandchildren etc but still gets monthly reports occasionally warning that despite not speeding his rate of braking or acceleration are starting to put him in a higher risk. If he can inadvertently do this in a 2.5 litre diesal powered seven seater I can only imagine how easily it would be done in a Zed just keeping up with the flow of surrounding traffic. Not trying to say the black boxes are wrong just to be extra gentle with braking/accelerating as well as speed.

How does hair "know" when to stop growing? Hair is dead apart from the root. When you shave it keeps growing. When you shave your mates eyebrows off when he's drunk it grows back..... but not down to his knees, just the original length. Same if you take the hair off your leg ripping off a plaster. Grows back.......but to original length. Same with (ehem) pubes.....wouldn't grow down to your knees needing you to tie them in a pony tail Anyone know the answer?   Â

Congratulations on the Zed. We all love pics so post some up when you get a chance.

Welcome to the OC. After 10 years of ownership I still find myself having a 2nd glance at the zed after I park up. Looks like you will be doing the same

re-setting the Air bag light.......enough is enough !!!
HEADPHONES replied to zebedy's topic in 350Z General
If all the connections are tight it could be the "clock spring" unit behind the steering wheel that has failed. Had mine replaced a few months back. Was about £60 2nd hand and about £30 labour to fit. -

Maybe every cloud has a silver lining snd you'll end up with a flawless paint job at the end!

Congratulations on the promotion. I'm glad you enjoyed your time with the Zed. Just because you sold the Zed doesn't mean that you can't still log in now and then for a little banter. Hope you pointed the new owner in the direction of the OC.

Spatt's Fairlady Z- Engine Rebuilt Feb 2017
HEADPHONES replied to Spatt's topic in Member Build Projects
Sorry to hear about all your little misfortunes but the phoenix has well and truly risen from the ashes. Rims look spot on. Not many rims I love more than those Volks. The only downside with fitting your Volks is you don't get to drool over them at your mum's dining table any more -
I had the same a couple months ago. Garage sourced a 2nd hand one on ebay for £60.

Hi 14N. Is it too late to join in the list for this current batch of didviders? If not could you put me down for a plain black carpeted one and PM me details of how to pay you and send delivery dtails? Many thanks Andy

I have the G3 mitt. Started out with using QD. Now I just use more concentrated shampoo. Much much faster with shampoo and the mitt really comes into it's own swimming in shampoo. Much smoother glide and faster too. Probably smoother if you used a BUCKET of QD instead of a spray! But as you have found it's not as good at tar spots.

I'm up in Edinburgh for a stag weekend. In a minibus back from quadbiking we past Clark Motorsport. I felt like asking them to stop for a visit but alsa they don't all share the same passion. Looked like a very nice garage/ showroom. [url=http://s272.photobucket.com/u When ordering from them in the past I imagined them being a small warehouse hidden away in Scotland. Didn't expect it to be such a swish looking gaff. Nice to put a face to a name as it were.

They are shaking their heads in disbelief that they've actually spotted a 350z in the flesh. The correct and polite response is to grin and give a big thumbs up whilst nodding enthusiastically as if to say.......YES IT REALLY IS A 350Z IN THE FLESH!

Don't forget to ring traders like Clark Motorsport for prices on parts. They can often get you the right stuff at better prices. I've got my gear and diff oils changed out at 45k now. Sparks need doing every 5yrs. Check when coolant and brake fluids were changed too. Sometimes the pads wear faster on the inside so although they look meaty on the outside they may need changing. If they wear too much they could bugger your discs so ask garage to check that too.

After repeated failed attempts to stop the airbag light flashing I took it to the garage. They diagnosed a faulty "squib" or clock spring behind the steering wheel. Thankfully they managed to source a 2nd hand one and fitted it for me. For about £100 fitted I thought it very reasonable. My light is off and I now have working airbags. So another thumbs up for Lockwood and Greenwood in Audenshaw Manchester
