HEADPHONES

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

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.

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

Sunset orange is such a fussy colour when it comes to showing it's best. In dull daylight and with the slightest of dust coverings mine looks like a cross between mustard and pollen. Under strong sunlight or at night though and it comes to life almost glowing like embers in the ashes. You've captured "the fire" in the paint well in those pics

Welcome back dude. You didn't waste any time getting a new zed did you

I get all my service parts from Clark Motorsport normally, but with 2nd hand electrical parts I'd rather let the garage source and fit in case it doesn't cure the problem.

Along with "the devil's 370z" posted by Octet, this is my favourite looking modded 370z. Your skills behind a camera are pretty impressive too!

What a coincidence......I passed a gleaming black GT Four in Manchester this weekend. It's nice to see this red gem is in good hands Coldel. It is a lovely examlpe from the good ol days when Toyota had a stunning line up. MR2 turbo Celica GT Four Supra TT

Well, as the Zed turns 10 this year I treated her to a birthday treat. P2 All fluids changed. Gear and diff oil change. Denso Iridium sparks. MOT. Came in just under £400 but airbag light came on again just before MOT. Furthermore they found some splits on the inside of both front tyres nearly down to the ply. Despite plenty of tread on my rear Falkens, these are now discontinued so 4 of their successors have been ordered. So looks like around a £1000 for me this year. Still, compared to routine servicing at premium German main dealers, very reasonable me thinks

Zed had its 10 year service on Friday and got them to check the airbag error. Apparently I need a new airbag clock spring behind the steering wheel. The garage are trying to source me a 2nd hand one so hopefully it'll be good for its MOT retest next week.

I visited my local Longlife exhaust centre a few weeks back to have a custom cat back system for a Mini Cooper and whilst there enquired on a system for the zed.. It was Topger in Stockport and they said it would be about £1000 depending on the style. They said they'd done a few and copied the design of a few popular set ups. Was only £375 for the Mini but I suppose it's a much smaller job. Fit was spot on and as it's used for the school run by the missus I asked for as OEM sounding as possible. No drone and just a little deeper than OEM. The main thing stopping me getting one on the Zed is the unknown finished sound. Would be gutted spending a grand and having a drone on the motorway and a soundtrack that was either too quiet/loud.

There's a micro switch behind the brake pedal. If it's come loose or broken your brake lights will either not work or be very dim. This will then set off all the lights you mention. When mine came on this was the cause. The lights would go off when I restarted the car.....but as soon as I touched the brake pedal they'd all light up again. If the switch is broken a new one can be obtained from Clark Motorsport.

Looking nice. I would love to see some night time shots of your zed. I bet the metallic flakes really pop out under the lights!
