BACON

I was just going to pop out & take a picture of my garage too.....was then going to say that it is a lovely garage, its just a shame I can't get the 350 in there unless I fancy sleeping at the wheel!

I have two cats and they are my girls...if anyone even looked at them the wrong way I would have serious words; if someone threatened them I would kick their head in & if anyone tried something like a pot shot with an air rifle....well put it like this, I may shortly be up on a man slaughter charge.

Has no-one realised the obvious? The originally described cat clearly has good taste and is merely protecting or guarding your car.....no-one will ever attempt stealing a car with a cat asleep on it

You should actually be thanking your new friend!!!

Wow...good guide, going to get these bulbs tomorrow. To have such a dramatic affect on the overall appearance so easily and at low expense....superb.

Am I right in thinking, accessing the sidelight bulb lower down in the headlight isn't as simple???

Looks a nice motor Niko but I have to agree with some of the crew.....GM rules!

Nice to have the front reflectors already upgraded for ya...result.

Had the 350z now for 5 months and probably average around 19-22 mpg if I'm lucky!!! The worst figure I had was around 10 mpg but I did really raz it that day......just can't help yourself sometimes.

How on earth anyone can get figures as high as 36 + I really don't know

I drive my beauty everyday to work which is approx a 60 mile round trip; I never fill the tank more than half full in order to achieve a better economy but I do fill up nearly every other day!!!

If the prices at the pumps keep rising as they have done over recent weeks.........I'm screwed.

Thanks narcotix for the feedback....are the wipers I found on Ebay any good???

I was hoping you guys would have an opinion on what are the best wipers available for the 350z?

I have been meaning to change mine ever since I purchased my 350z back in November and now they are becoming terrible. I have heard and seen some members using these aero wipers......are they any good?

If so are these I found on Fleebay this morning?

Price seems reasonable but is there a reason for this?

Spotted a nice looking sunset coloured 350z driving down the Alyshum road in Norwich at approximatley 8.30am on 20th April.

Also spotted the same motor parked at a Marriott hotel in the area (on the dusty car park at the rear of the hotel) around a week ago.

I believe the 350 is an import but apologise if this is not the case and displays the plate starting with NDZ!!! Must be a member because he was displaying the forum logo sticker in the rear screen.

Anyone recognise this description?

Welcome to the club Stacey....we're a friendly bunch, well most of us! Nice looking motor, love the green bremos

You must have some very nice plods around your way.......either that or they're too busy filling in their paperwork!!!

Great car though

Did it pass without any issues......what about your LED bulbs? Any comments?

Fine looking motor ersen.o........very aggressive!!!

One quick question, what tint level have you got on the vehicle...looks very dark?

Have you had any issues going this dark?

Can we have a meet with just 3????

Passed a lovely looking 350z in the bronze colour, hosting a set of black rims which set the car off nicely.

Spotted at around 18.30 on 4th March heading down the Watton road into Norwich just passed the UEA hospital!!!

Anyone on here claim this trip?

Would have flashed to say hi but you were too quick for my reactions

Welcome to the club.....we're a friendly bunch, well most of us!!!

It's created like this purposly as a safety feature, although I agree rather annoying.

The reasoning behind this decision was to prevent the driver acidentally shutting the window on a passenger in particular a minor; whereas you're unlikely to shut your own hand in the gap........well it would be funny if you did

This rule was adhered to by all manufacturers but things mabe different nowadays.

Welcome Stretch......we're a friendly bunch

I was thinking just the other morning that it may be a good idea to purchase some shares in a local fuel provider; damn she's thirsty!!!

Now instead of being abducted by the aliens................you're attracting them in from afar!!!!

Stretch from what I can tell and from speaking to a few of the club members it's a common fault with the Nissan Bose Headunit. Mine has the same problem and is almost unuseable on the smaller country roads; probably something to do with the anti-shock mechanism but not sure why this is affected when it's cooler.

The rigid and sports suspension setup I'm sure has a contributing factor to this issue but I'm pretty sure it's just one of those things you either just have to get used to or you can upgrade your sound system and headunit. Any excuse

Is chrome wrap legal? you'd think having a mirror driving at you at night would be really dangerous?

Dangerous.......it would s**t you up on a zed bend if that appeared in front of you!!! You'd probably think you were being abducted by some form of extraterrestrial species.

Welcome to the Club Sam.....we're a friendly bunch!!!

Welcome to the team

I have only recently purchased my fantastic 350z GT, was searching for over a year. Best car I have ever driven and certainly owned.....you'll love the fun you can have in it.

Everyone on here is very friendly and the information I have found out from these guys is incredible. Just stay clear of the Main Nissan dealers!!!

Was going to take the Zed out last week (before the snow started here again) and decided not to because of all the potholes. I'm seriously wondering why I have a low sports car and a supersports class motorbike when I can't use either because of the flipping roads.

 

Fuel duty at 80% and road tax on each vehicle and the roads are bloody awful. It's crap. I'm using a '98 freelander to get about and have loads of ££££'s locked away just now.

 

I've been to some crapholes around the world and a lot of them have much better roads. It's a disgrace!

 

agreed

 

 

pay through the nose for a service that is crap, at least its only the road network.... oh wait no..... sounds like all public sector institutions

 

 

Totally agree - where do all our taxes go!!?? We are now paying much more road tax and our roads are getting worse each year! Over the last few years they have started putting loose gravel on top of new road surfaces and using users' cars to flatten it all down, causing stone chips and potential for skidding (I have skidded on more than one occasion on this loose gravel). They used to use proper rollers to flatten it all down on new road surfaces and the tarmac lasted several years. Costs them more money in the long term if they use cheap tarmac. Instead they think short term and use cheap tarmac and after a bit of snow this happens.

 

Doctor GP's used to get £30-40k ten years ago. Now the minimum salary for a GP is slightly over £100k (all tax payer's money) and yet they now work less hours. And our hospitals are in a worse state. And back to roads - they put our road tax up double and yet their "reason" is to get us out of cars. They certainly don't put it towards maintaining our roads! If they made public transport more efficient and a lot lot cheaper then only then would I consider (and I would seriously consider) using buses and trains. It would take me three hours to get to work by bus where I live and by car it is only 20 minutes and to get into my nearest town it is cheaper to get a taxi than get a bus!!! How backwards is that? It is cheaper to fly to parts of the country than travel by train and the buses in Sussex are a joke (unless you live in a city, even then they are only every half hour). Bl**dy government is so incompetent. Moan over

Love this and totally agree with all the points raised....shame there's not much we can do at our level! Petitions just do not work and are laughed at by the council officials!!!!

I wouldn't know as I tell my insurer about everything, and that includes the tyres. Technically anything that a bog standard car doesn't come with is a mod, so if you've got your car insured as a 350Z and not a 350Z GT then you may want to give your insurer a call and make sure everything is sorted...

 

That's an extreme, but some companies can be pickier than others. Personally I see no reason not to tell them about every last little thing you do as then you give them no wiggle room should the worst happen.

With this in mind....if I buy a 350z GT second hand, how would I know exactly what was completly bog standard???

I don't know what brand the car's original tyres were when sold by Nissan.....without opening the panel filter cover, how would I know if the branding had changed. Such small and unnoticeable alterations could have been made by the previous owner!!! Such improvements or changes are so small surely they could not be held against me in a claim condition???
