  1. This morning around 8am ish. My fav colour combo with the tan seats! I was in the 370z enjoying the fresh air! Also spotted a 350z silver roadster at the dealer but that's cheating I guess.
  2. um pretty sure intake filters are changed at P2 and two years after that at P3! Might wanna check your hand book to be sure.
  3. +1 on the comments, glad to see you weren't swayed to a used GTR. The Nismo 370 Zed is going to be a very rare sight on the roads i reckon based on the way things are in the UK at the mo.
  4. Mine likewise but thats only because I had the heads up from Will370z, I looked at two low mileage 370z's (11 reg's) prior to getting mine last year and they both had markings where the window was interfering with the fabric whilst closing. I walked straight away. I ended up with a 10 plate with very low miles instead. Think a lot of it seems to be down to the position of the rubber seal relative to the canvas. The canvas on mine sits clear of the window. Anyway surely the parts and labour, if carried out by a main dealer on a vechile that is out of /under the mfg/extended warranty are entitled to one years warranty from the date of fitment? I would be voicing this to the dealer, especially in Rogers case, sounds like you have had a torrid time with them. So the worst case you have one year? If you did have to make a claim, you just need to prove it is link to the area which has had the remedial work by the dealer within the year. Worth a shot.
  5. It appears not much of anything is covered under the extended warranty! When you say wear on the roof, exactly where, i.e. where the window drop or around the supporting frame? I would question dealers ability if each time the replacement hood has been aligned & fitted correctly this many times and it still is defective. I am guessing you have had one of the master technicians review & undertake the fitment? These sorts of comments worry me as a 370 roadster owner. So far mine has been fine, but then the car is only used at weekends and covers about 4-5k a year, it is also covered and garaged, only cleaned with a hoover and light pressure hose. Do you both use them as daily drivers? If local try Slough WLMG HPC, the mechanics know their onions on Zed's and GTRs. Sorry hear this as it must really put a downer on the ownership of what for the most part is a fab car, it certainly would put me off another roadster.
  6. mates 07 plate cooper s had a coaking up issue Apperantly pretty normal for the turbo model. Had to detach turbo inlet and flush it out or something along them lines.
  7. Used them 12 years ago to repaint a panel on my one month old EP3 that some chimp scuffed while parked on Multey plain. It was the Red colour so non metallic. Good match and was reasonably priced too compared to body shops up London way. A mate used them to paint all black trim on his VTS shortly after, again was a good match and on a metallic silver. From memory they didn't finish my job on quoted delivery time, didn't bother me as they did a good job.
  8. I will take that if first in line? Shall pm you tomorrow for payment details.

    2014 Golf R...

    4 tail pipes on a four cylinder lol two at a push but four looks darn right daft.....Are they all functional or just for show?
  10. Like the colour and those rims look great, dislike the max power body kit and pretty poor effort on the interior, classic Nismo styling & pricing. It may look better if the body kit was the same colour as the rest of the paintwork. IMO a clean 350z / 370z best shows the lines of the car with some nice rims.
  11. garethkd1 I have pm'd you my address for when then come your way:)
  12. +1 on all of Will's comments apart from the fun bit. I had far more fun this year in the alps tour with the 370 than both my previous 350s. It inspires far more confidence when pushing on than the older models, just a bit more snappy when it does go, just got to be quicker on the lock than the 350, soon get used to that though.
  13. I have a invidia on mine and still thinks it offers best all round compromise in terms of noise, fit, looks and cost.
  14. I would be up for joining the chain and sharing the dvd love. how do I get added? Really useful for Europe trips as my Nav had a few wobbly moments this year. Just glad I can still read a paper map:)
  15. Hi Scotty, I will take these. Please pm me and I can sort payment if first in line.
  16. Sorry was kinda hard to photograph as they were coming down the pass and had my hands full negotiating the harpins . One was a GT4 Yellow which looked great and the other was a Silver HR both on a mission both spotted on the Gotthard Pass. I shall do a mini write up on the euro hack once I get back to the UK.
  17. We really are a rare breed. Not one 370z. Lost count of Porkers, Ferrari's and spotted plenty of R35 GTR's too. I hope to see some more Zeds at the Ring on Thursday.
  18. My 370z sometimes pulls a bit (tramlines) on uneven cambered roads, partially on B roads with a poor road surface. I put this down to the width of the tyres and the car getting guided by the grooves / ruts in the road. I tend to push on a bit harder, helps settle the car down. It could also be the transition from the longer wheel based 350z. It does fidget more than both my old DE and HR engines 350z.
  19. Finally got around to fitting the kit today. Pretty straight forward, the fiddly bit is getting the wiring fed through and neat and tidy. Takes around 3 hours. Really chuffed with the results. Can actually see out the back of the roadster now!! Car now cleaned and masked ready for a machine polish tomorrow.
  20. Anyone know how to do a roof reset without having to disconnect the battery? I managed to confuse it the other day and it had a meltdown. It just beeped at me and illuminated the hood light until I stopped and sorted it. I ended up having to disconnect the battery to clear the fault.
  21. I have tried both the Honda and RDX stubby both of which ruin radio reception for weak signalled stations. I run the oem broom stick. Good choice on the colour too.
  22. It includes a good step by step guide with the kit. The chap who created the kit has had a fair chunk of input from 370z coupe and roadster owners from the UK and USA. Honestly looks pretty straight forward. Famous last words....
  23. Tarmac please can you pm me a price on the ERZ's and Berks HFCs? I am debating whether I should pick these up next visit to the states. However, I would rather buy them in UK as they are bulky . I am willing to give the ERZ's a shout as they have lots of good reviews on U.S forums.
