  1. I am in Hertfordshire. If you want to email me on urbanbob@gmail.com I'll send you over some pictures and we can discuss it a little further. Rob
  2. Thanks bud. Yeah I should hope so. I am pretty gutted by the whole ordeal in honesty, but if I don't drop below £9500 I wont have lost too much on the deal.
  3. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19527 Updated link, hopefully that will work!
  4. I knew I forgot something! I am based in Hertfordshire. Thanks Digsy.
  5. Hey guys, Well this is a depressing post. As some of you might know, I haven't been a 350Z owner for very long. I bought my grey Z in February after being told my job is definately safe. This morning, I was told this was not strictly true, and I could be unemployed with in a few months. So it is with great dissapointment I need to sell my 350 rather fast. Here are the details: Unmodified Nissan 350Z in Grey 04 Plate (with a very unique number plate, despite not being personalised) 34,000 miles UK 6 Speed Manual Full Nissan Service History MOT done recently Tax Serviced Pristine condition inside and out Has had DVD Player fitted in place of the stock CD player. Kenwood 350Z model Tyres all have good tread I am looking for £9500 and I'm not very flexible on that price, as it is very good. I am interested in a part ex for something smaller, maybe a Civic Type R or along those lines. I am quite open to anything though, so try me. Pictures are below in another thread: viewtopic.php?t=19527 Please email me either through this forum, Urbanbob@gmail.com or give me a call on my mobile: 07825294982 Cheers guys Rob
  6. I'm 21 and currently have a 350z. 2 Years NCB and my dear mother on as a named driver. I have a clean license and the car is garage with few miles done each year. I got quoted £1450ish, with a colossal excess. That is with Admiral. I'm paying about £150 a month. It's expensive, but if you want such a ridiculously powerful car before you are 25, you gotta make sacrifices. Well I certainly did!

    Eye Lids

    Hey guys, Where can I get grey eye lids for the front headlights? All I can find are those crappy ones that go in a circle around the entire light. I want the one covering diagonally as if the car is frowning if you like Thanks guys.[/i]
  8. Right brilliant, thanks mate. I'll go for them two then. I think I saw recommended pop charger / plenum spacer make threads dotted about. I'll have a look around. Thanks again
  9. So Plenum Spacer, Pop Charger and Induction kit would all be working towards the same goal? Can a Pop Charger and Induction kit be both fit at the same time? I know all it would essentially do is make my Z shout everytime I put my foot down, but it all adds to the smile factor!
  10. Hi Guys, I'm not feeling great about writing this, as I feel a bit of an idiot. However, if I don't ask I'll never know! No matter how much I google it, my mechanical knowledge is so limited I am struggling to understand what it is I would be buying. So I need someone who knows exactly what they do to put it in simpleton terms for me! Plenum Spacer - I've read the reviews, everyone recommends it. What exactly does it do to the engine? Pop Charger - Replaces the airbox, but what exactly does it do? Increase air flow? Sorry to be a pain Cheers people.
  11. Hey guys, I'm intent on getting scorpion exhausts and a typhoon induction kit fitted. I have always used a well known modding garage near me called RTEC, however when I called them they didn't have scorpion exhausts in stock and would have to order them especially and have never fitted them before. As a result, I'd prefer to go to a garage that is used to 350Z's - even if what I want done is simple (which I suppose it is). So anyone who lives in Essex/Herts/North London and has modded their 350Z with a preferred garage. Who do you use? Much Love

    LimeyZ is done.

    It reminds me of the Eclipse out of The Fast and the Furious! Except instead of plasticy, whiney and cheap it looks awesome. Good job mate!
  13. I saw this at a motorshow in London. Just like the current Hyundai Coupe, it doesn't look *too* shabby, but performance wise it's dire. This one had a good pop at creating a decent engine, but they will fall short of the mark as usual. I'll be looking out for this on Top Gear!
  14. Yeah mine is 04 as well. You have put my mind at rest.
  15. Only 50?! I joke! Welcome mate, and great choice of colour.
  16. Right I'm going to apologies now guys, as I have a feeling my problem might be the "infamous Z-click". I just went for a drive in the Z, and although my clutch always feels a bit jerky I could hear some sort of rattle sound. Quite feint, but noticeable if you are listening intently. I am extremely careful with my cars and assume every little sound or feeling is going to require an engine rebuild, but none the less I feel I need to ask. When I pulled into my drive way I put the Z in neutral and this rattle was very apparent. I compressed the clutch and it went away, I put it in first and it went away. I'm pretty sure it's only like this after a drive and not straight away or I would notice then too. Is this that well known rattle, or something more sinister
  17. There is one about Spurs V Arsenal that was floating about.

    Gear Knob

    Hey guys, Where the gentleman before me who owned my 350Z was married, his wedding ring (selfishly) chipped away at the top of the gear knob like a very weak beaver! Anyway, I need to replace it, and wondered if anyone had any links to some nice ones that aren't £400 because someone wrote Nismo on the side with tip-ex. Much Love
  19. I lost exactly £2000 on a Fiesta ST in 1 year. I did part-ex, but I got a good deal originally and shopped around for the part ex. Depressing. However, if car prices hadnt have dropped I wouldnt have a Z. Swings and roundabouts
  20. Hi guys, I had a quick look for this on the forum and couldn't find it, but I apologise if this is a double post. This is the stand alone funniest complaint of all time and that Aussie Letter thread reminded me. Enjoy! This is a genuine complaint to Devon & Cornwall Police Force from an angry member of the public . A true email sent to the force, brilliantly written..... Dear Sir/Madam/Automated telephone answering service, Having spent the past twenty minutes waiting for someone at Bodmin police station to pick up a telephone I have decided to abandon the idea and try e-mailing you instead. Perhaps you would be so kind as to pass this message on to your colleagues in Bodmin, by means of smoke signal, carrier pigeon or Ouija board. As I'm writing this e-mail there are eleven failed medical experiments (I think you call them youths) in St Mary's Crescent, which is just off St Mary's Road in Bodmin. Six of them seem happy enough to play a game which involves kicking a football against an iron gate with the force of a meteorite. This causes an earth shattering CLANG! which rings throughout the entire building. This game is now in its third week and as I am unsure how the scoring system works, I have no idea if it will end any time soon. The remaining five failed-abortions are happily rummaging through several bags of rubbish and items of furniture that someone has so thoughtfully dumped beside the wheelie bins. One of them has found a saw and is setting about a discarded chair like a beaver on ecstasy pills. I fear that it's only a matter of time before they turn their limited attention to the caravan gas bottle that is lying on its side between the two bins. If they could be relied on to only blow their own arms and legs off then I would happily leave them to it. I would even go so far as to lend them the matches. Unfortunately they are far more likely to blow up half the street with them and I've just finished decorating the kitchen. What I suggest is this - after replying to this e-mail with worthless assurances that the matter is being looked into and will be dealt with, why not leave it until the one night of the year (probably bath night) when there are no mutants around then drive up the street in a Panda car before doing a three point turn and disappearing again. This will of course serve no other purpose than to remind us what policemen actually look like. I trust that when I take a claw hammer to the skull of one of these throwbacks you'll do me the same courtesy of giving me a four month head start before coming to arrest t me. I remain your obedient servant ??????? read on ----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr ??????, I have read your e-mail and understand your frustration at the problems caused by youths playing in the area and the problems you have encountered in trying to contact the police. As the Community Beat Officer for your street I would like to extend an offer of discussing the matter fully with you. Should you wish to discuss the matter, please provide contact details (address / telephone number) and when may be suitable. Regards PC ??????? Community Beat Officer --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear PC ??????? First of all I would like to thank you for the speedy response to my original e-mail. 16 hours and 38 minutes must be a personal record for Bodmin Police Station, and rest assured that I will forward these details to Norris McWhirter for inclusion in his next Guinness book of Records. Secondly I was delighted to hear that our street has its own Community Beat Officer. May I be the first to congratulate you on your covert skills? In the five or so years I have lived in St Mary's Crescent, I have never seen you. Do you hide up a tree or have you gone deep undercover and infiltrated the gang itself? Are you the one with the acne and the moustache on his forehead or the one with a chin like a wash hand basin? It's surely only a matter of time before you are head-hunted by MI5 to look for Osama. Whilst I realise that there may be far more serious crimes taking place in Bodmin , such as smoking in a public place or being Christian without due care and attention, is it too much to ask for a policeman to explain (using words of no more than two syllables at a time) to these twats that they might want to play their strange football game elsewhere. The pitch on Fairpark Road, or the one at Priory Park are both within spitting distance, as is the bottom of the Par Dock, the latter being the preferred option especially if the tide is in. Should you wish to discuss these matters further you should feel free to contact me on <???????>. If after 25 minutes I have still failed to answer, I'll buy you a large one in the Cat and Fiddle Pub. Regards ????????? P.S If you think that this is sarcasm, think yourself lucky that you don't work for the sewerage department with whom I am also in contact !!!

    2nd Hand Alloys

    Hey Guys, I really want to get some new alloys for my Z, however I can't magic up over a grand to solve this problem. I was wondering if anyone had any 2nd hand 18" or 19" 5 spoke alloys. Preferably in the same style as the Nismo ones, as I'm a big fan of them. PM me if you have any. Much love
  22. I just call mine Imogen. They need a more personal name!
  23. Hey guys, As promised here are some pictures of my 350Z. It's fairly stock, so I'm not sure if anyone is actually interested! Here you are anyway: I'm in dire need of a Nismo spoiler I feel!
  24. When you turn your engine off, does the rattle slow down and stop at the same speed as the engine does? Because you are describing the same thing I have and it is doing my head in! Naturally I assume the worst...
  25. Not sure if you have seen this, but it made me chuckle: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/enlarge/330852/ajax=1/
