SO MUCH WANT lol! If only my Nismo one didnt require me putting holes in the front of the bumper i would seriously have considered putting mine up for sale for this one Tres GLWTS Jak

Thanks Captain & 3FiddyZed - i will be sure to check those out! I think once i learn the terms and what they mean/do all will become a little clearer..........maybe lol! Captain - so i need to configure the LCD on the camera? i take it there should be something telling me how to do this in the user manual? will have to dig this out and have a read! oh and thanks smudge - might resort to something like that if the links cant give me what im after! P.S. sorry if these all sound silly questions but i really am a bit of a novice at the moment! Jak

Hi, In June last year i was given (for my Birthday) a Panasonic Lumix G1 by my parents - from then till now ive only really used it as a point and shoot camera but know that it is capable of a fair bit more than that, so i want to learn a little more about how to use it properly + some nice techniqes to be able to use to get the pictures that bit better. My question is where do i start my info quest?!! Can anyone recommend some good novice friendly websites/ books whatever that would give me a good start? Thanks Jak

Im not sure whos the bigger tit, the guy who tried to rob the fifty or the numbnut who put it there in the first place! - it is a shame but did he really think it would end any differently??? Jak

Ah mate thats bad news - i can't believe how some people can be so small minded. Hope you get it sorted, Tbh i rather fancy a carbon bonnet, but that will have to come after some nismo skirts/ spats in the same colour as my splitter to even it all out i think, otherwise it may look a little odd with just front end mods - though am happy to be proved wrong should anyone think otherwise? Jak

Oh dear, i dont know how i have managed under exposing as i thought i had it set on ia mode where it just does it all for you..... the other wierd thing is they dont look this dark on the camera screen either.... The camera im using is new to me and i am yet to understand it properly, its a Panasonic Lumix G1 - i am really pleased with it but it would seem it needs more working out than my previous point and click jobbie! Some manual reading coupled with some bumf on photographic techniques will hopefully go someway towards solving this. It is odd how they look different on my cameras screen as well as the computers screen that i uploaded the files to though - thats the only reason i was a bit stumped by it all Thank you for your help, im sure what you are saying will make even more sense to me when i have done some reading up too! Jak

this is what i mean though, the actual files on my pc look like that ^^^ but for some reason once uploaded and only on some computers they look really dark - i havnt done anything to them editing wise in Photobucket, the ones that look really dark look so different to the actual files i hav - its a bit odd! Jak

Nope, just good old Dodo Blue Velvet! Its wierd on some computers i've looked at this thred on mypictures have come out really dark when some of them are not really like that.... is this to do with photobucket?? Jak

Looks very nice - Hydraulic lifters are a definate for the to do list me thinks, liking the carbon too! Jak

Ah, not exactly condusive to cleaning huh?! Saying that it looks like the Blue Velvet i put on today is having an argument with the frost on my car at the mo, hope it looks alright come morning!! Jak

Those photos are brilliant! Hopefully i'll be able to get some more like these when i learn how to use my camera properly! Jak

Thanks Buddy, it's a Nismo splitter, i think its a Nismo USA/Canada one but am not 100% on that, does anyone else know? I havnt seen many others.... I agree, it's on the list of things to do once i get back from NZ in May, all funds are going towards that for now! Jak P.S. Thanks for all the comments!

Gave the Z a good clean this weekend so thought id take a few pics to share my efforts with you all. Not overly pleased with how they have come out tbh but they are ok........ Enjoy! And one i found from RaceAcademy late last year! Jak

Happy Birthday!

Bugger, just realised i cant make it anyway as i will be somewhere in New Zealand in a campervan at that point! (what a shame huh ) Still may be of use to some of you on here! Jak

just got an email through from Japfest saying that tickets are now only £11.00 prebooked untill 31st Jan - Seems pretty good to me, is there definatly a club stand here? Sorry if this was already known but i only got the email about 10mins ago! Jak

That looks very nice!! gets my vote too! Though would speedbumps be a problem? Jak

thanks matey, will check that out. Jak

Sorry, headlights seem to be the flavour of the week at the moment but it has reminded me to ask a question ive been meaning to ask for a while.... Unlike a lot of people on this forum (it seems) i actually really like the orange strip that runs down the side of my headlights (03 Model) and it looks from the front as if there could be a space for a bulb to illuminate it, much like some 5 series have.... is this the case? has anyone else done it and able to offer tips? Jak

p.s.thanks for all the comments! I like usually take quite a few photos of my cars so hopefully when the weather gets a bit nicer i can get some more with a decent camera!

oops sorry missed that bit - Its a genuine Nismo splitter, i believe only available in America/Canada? May be wrong on this part - but definatly nismo either way! Jak

thanks!

Took this on my iPhone today at work, then chucked it through one of the basic photo editing apps i have. thought it came out pretty well so thought i would share it on here! The only thing i dont like is because its quite a dark/ shadowy photo it makes it look likeits sitting a bit high & am already bracing myself for the needs spacers comments....... all in good time! Jak

Have been meaning to post this for a while now but better late than never! A few months back one of our customers (who works at Nissan Technology Centre) ,after noticing my 350z outside, kindly told me that next time its up for service I should give a garage called EliteTech a call. To cut a long story short EliteTech were, from what I can gather, set up by a couple of guys that worked for Nissan Tech Centre (one of them still does) and have a lot of experience with Nissan products. Apparantly all the guys with tuned/faster cars at the Nissan tech centre send their cars to them! Anyway my car was due for a service so on this recommendation I got a quote and booked in. Gareth, the guy who serviced my car was very friendly and defiantly seemed to know his stuff and way round the 350z’s (he owns a very nice modified R33 GTR himself). I was very happy with the work done and the service provided and will defiantly be returning in the future – In fact I’m there on Tuesday getting my aux belts changed! All in all I would recommend EliteTech’s to anyone on here looking for a garage in the Bucks area, just google them for their website and contact details! Jak
