  1. I'm glad you found the forum. It really adds to the enjoyment of zed ownership. Great source of info on zed's and members will often help with advice on many non zed related topics too.
  2. Looking good Is that a champagne silver respray or just the lighting? Either way it sets the zed off a treat!
  3. First job is a pin to unblock the washer jets. Hopefully this works. if not the blockage could be further down the pipework. Once one of my cars actually had the water reservoir full of algae causing the blockage......ewwww.
  4. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/88546-dent-specialists-boltonhighly-recommended/page__fromsearch__1 There you go......found the link^
  5. For dings I think it's deffo worthwhile getting a PDR guy to massage them out. If you are anywhere near Bolton I know a great place that has a Saturday drop in clinic. Guy is very busy and ciz he spends zero time travelling on the Saturday prices are VERY good!
  6. Matt.......the zed looks purrrrfect. I can't see anything else that you'd need to do looks wise. Enjoy the summer in your chariot
  7. When my battery failed, when I turned the key the alarm went off and car still started.
  8. Back in 2006 I wanted to get the missus an R50 Cooper S. She hated it on the test drive. Hated the ride and the gear change. The sales woman could tell so offered another test drive in her own standard Cooper. Wife said it was night and day finding it much easier to drive. So bought her the Cooper on standard 15's. So far in 9 years of ownership we've been lucky. Just a leaking thermostat housing in year 3. Oh.... and a wierd howling/wind noise when I hit about 80mph (on a trackday :wink: ). Not a problem for us as its hardly ever on a motorway but could bug the hell out of a heavy motorway user! Going in for a new exhaust tomorrow due to a rusted back box which is quite common but cheap fix. eBay exhausts from around £60, but gonna try a custom stainless long life one for £375. My favourite option is the heated seats which puts the Zed's to shame. Freezing to toasty in 10-15 seconds on our cloth seats! Happy hunting
  9. Love sunset orange. Always find that an overcast day never does it justice. But at night.......under lighting, the paint comes alive and is practically glowing
  10. Sorry I can't help about deactivating the airbags but there's always the Nissan Skyline 350GT if you want a 4 seated zed. http://www.9tro.com/features/tuned-cars/nissan-skyline-v35-350gt-infiniti-g35
  11. Welcome back. PS. We never tire of pics of zeds so post up some photos of your newly acquired chariot when you have time :wave:
  12. Mmmm......shiney lips. I bet your eyes can't help gazing at your rims when you park up
  13. A big thank you to veef 13. I ordered 3 sets of mats for our cars. Arrived promptly from valuecarmats.com Fit is perfect. Where the OEM mats have retaining holes so do these. Where the OEMs have velcro retainers like in my Mini the new ones do too. Slightly thinner than the originals but only just. The backing is similar to the OEM zed mats, not the foam rubbish that came with my original Mini and Kia mats. The foam stuff is not nearly as hard wearing. I was only charged one p&p charge for the 3 sets and woth the discount code it was about £9.99 a set DELIVERED!
  14. I have a friend who runs a Nissan Leaf for his Mon to Fri commute from Warrington to Manchester. Only thing is It's almost at the limit of its range so he drives with heaters off during winter But at the weekend he runs a lovely R35! He absolutely loves his leaf too as that commute would be too much for him to justify in his GTR.
  15. Bose often give a 30 day money back trial. For travelling on planes and the underground I found them hard to beat for noise cancellation. I have the QC3. Had them so long I'm on my 2nd set of replacement earpads........we like serviceable parts :wink: Me and a mate tested them against builders ear defenders while using an SDS drill on a wall and the Bose kept more noise out
  16. My wife has a 2006 R50 Mini Cooper with a rotting back box. Had it from new and looking to keep it long term. Option 1 is for an OEM one from BMW.........probably the least economical. Option 2 is a Cobra system........probably too loud/droney for mum to do the school run in Option 3 is a custom made one made deliberately quiet. For custom systems it seems Topgear In Stockport are my local long life exhaust fitters. Anyone had any dealings with these guys?
  17. The guy who plays Vin Diesel could be his brother from another mother
  18. Thanks for the heads up and the discount code! Just ordered a set for the Zed, a BMW Mini and a Kia Sportage. £29.99 for all 3 cars delivered is a bargain. I will report back on receiving them
  19. Heart Touching Commercial - My dad's story: Dream for My Child | MetLife: http://youtu.be/Z8o7D1udsGg Try this link
  20. I actually found it affected me more when I watched it the second time with my wife!
  21. When I go to my local Chinese restaurant/cash n carry I always feel wary when ordering dishes from the FOOKIEN Provence. Famous for their fried rice and fried noodles. "Waiter......I'd like to order some FOOKIEN fried rice and some FOOKIEN fried noodles!" Then I go downstairs to their supermarket and often buy some cookies by the CHING KEE COOKIE ROLL company
