    Tyre advice

    Got standard potenzas on my 57 plate zed and the rears need changing (just passed the 10k mark and they are close to the limit), problem is that the front still have a decent bit of life in them and I wanted to try the Falkens that people seemt o rave about on here - would you guys suggest putting falcons on the rear and leaving the potenzas on the front until they need changing, just putting 2 new potenzas on the rear or biting the bullet and changing all four to Falcons!??? First time I've had to change the tyres on the zed so any advice much appreciated!
  2. Looking for a spoiler for my roadster and saw this advertised this morning, anyone know which spoiler has been put on it and where I can get hold of one?! http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1251904.htm Cheers Alex
  3. Got a standard 57 plate roadster and thinking of adding a new dual intake to it, don't want anything that's going to be crazy loud but a deep tone inkeeping with the Zed would be ideal, anyone have any advice? Doesnt seem to be a massive choice for the dual style, anyone fitted one they can reccomend? Cheers Alex
  4. Thanksfor all the advice guys, I have a microfibre cloth, just assume that the cleaner I'm using isn't right.... A couple of hours of bank hol have been put aside for a good clean so will try the car shampoo idea then and see how that works.....
  5. Have a 57 plate zed and finding it a nightmare to clean the inside of the doors (the black plastic panels) - I bought some fasirly expensive turtlewax interior cleaning stuff but that seems to have left a weird swirl mark s keen to avoid this, anyone have any suggestions on what I should try next? The surfce is obviously ful of dimples which seems to make it a bit awkward! Cheers Alex

    Help Needed!

    Was hoping that would be the case but after a decent drive over the weekend (over an hour or so), same problem is there

    Help Needed!

    Bought my Zed a few weeks back and have been struggling to keep the break disks shining - got a build up o horrible orange spots which look like rust - anyone know the best way o get rid of this!? Any particular products I can buy or something?! Cheers Alex
  8. Wow, great price, I just paid £17.5k for a 57 with 5k miles and would have snatched your hand off for it at that price had it been up a fortnight earlier, shouldn't have it hanging around for long. Shame that jealous pikeys stop decent people enjoying their hard-earned cash, I'd go with the rotweiler idea personally!
  9. Done a search but can't find many pictures of roadsters with spoilers / kits on them, anyone needing an excuse to show off their modded roadster take advantage......!
  10. That would be great cheers, even if it doesn't support the million different audio and visual formats there are out there, it would be cool if you could just put a regular DVD in and play it
  11. OOO, sounds possible, anyone know anything else about it?
  12. That's a shame, does anyone know what restricts this? You'd think it would be easy to get around considering there is essentially a DVD player in there hooked up to a screen!
  13. Here you go, needs a clean after a couple of hours of motorway fly-swatting! Didn't find the midnight, got a pretty decent deal though, it's only covered 5k miles and potentially thinking about a respay down the line if i get bored of the colour!

  14. Call off the search! Picked up a beautiful universal silver on a 57 plate today! After all I said about not being keen on the silver I fell for itas soon as I saw it. Can't belive the condition it's in, really is showroom worthy! Within the first 5 minutes of owning it I pulled into a garage to fill up (ouch! £££s) and was approached by an admirer of it, turning heads all over the place. Had a nice 2.5 hours drive home with it and as I'm sure it's clear to tell, I couldn't be happier with it - firs Sunday morning clean tomorrow and I can't wait! Cheers for the help and advice - decided to go for the 313 after a lot of sesible talk from members on here so thanks again!
  15. Might seem like a silly one, does the standard Sat Nav support DVD films???
  16. Cheers for all the help guys, to be honest I have set myself on the new engine now so only concentrating on the 07/08 models, wil be nice o have some warranty left for peace of mind too! Hopefully I'll be a fully fledged member of the club soon!
  17. If a night blue roadster came up I would be all over it, was gutted to miss out on one 3 weeks ago! I'm at the point where I just want to get one now, so will probably settle for the first one that falls into my price bracket (weighing up between a silver 57 with satnav and a twighligt grey 08 without satnav), thing is I'm really unsure on the silver, can look a bit nohingy to me (apologiesfor any offence!).......
  18. Lol, I think I'm officially Pistonheads and Autotraders most frequent visitor at the moment - at least 10 visits to each of them a day, could do with them setting up some sort of alert function really! Suppose I just need to be patient and play the waiting game for the moment...... I'll get my hands on one eventually!
  19. No-one looking to sell!? Must be an even more impressive car than I firs thought!
  20. Thanks for all the responses, I was wondering if anyone has put together a guide on when the facelift models came in and what extras/changes there are with each facelift? Thinking that this could be pretty useful for me in deciding what I buy! cheers
  21. Sound good but I want to buy in the next couple of weeks and that extra £££sis going to be a step too far unfortuntely - did see a stunning night blue with the off-white leather which looked outrageously cool - at a nissan dealer with 10k on the clock and only £18k which I might have stretched to but it got snapped up before I even had time to call! In an ideal world I would love the newer one (bonnet looks very ), how big a diference does the engine make in the new one? Does it put the insurance up at all?
  22. Want a 2007/08 Roadster preferably in Grey with black leather or even sunset with the orange/black combo interior UK Cars with full Nissan service history and no more than 25k miles (ideally 15k or less really), I have about £17.5k waiting to spend if anyone is looking to sell....... Cheers Alex
  23. After a few months of debate I finally settled on the Zed being the right car for me, I'm 99% sure I want the roadster with it being a weekend car but need some advice on which different models are available. I want something no older than 06 and it has to be a UK one not an import, is here anything I should be looking out for as far as facelift models etc? If so, what are the main differences between models? Cheers

    350Z wanted

    Cheers for the offer, lovely looking car and very close to how I imagine mine (hopefully!) looking, ideally want something a little newer as don't want to buy older than my current car (04) and am looking for a UK car. Best of luck for sale though, absolutely stunning zed
  25. Wow, thanks for all the replies, Nissan owners are very welcoming if the forum is anything to go by! Yeah, it's the Nismo body pieces I like the look of, the Z is a lovely looking car standard but Nismo have done a cracking job on their kit - definitely something I will be investing in when I manage to make the Switch from my Type R (just in case anyone knows anyone looking for one it's Black, 2004 facelift model, 36,000 miles and £7.5k). Jay, I'm based in North London, family live near Cardiff so get to enjoy driving when I go back to visit them rather than in traffic-jammed London! Do you guys have regular meets?
