  1. I have had success with PayPal Martin. Will get it through when I get home tonight. Out walking some dogs
  2. This is not true. There is many cars on here with much much higher mileage still on original clutch. I'm on late 20k's on original clutch with a good few miles on track having its arse kicked. Only quoting from what I read elsewhere. Apparently they average about 40k until a new clutch is needed and mine was changed but he previous owner at 35k due to slippage. I also seen one for sale with 28k on the clock with a very low price tag because it was in need of a new clutch. But if you guys are getting 70k+ out of them, that's great, hopefully i'll be able to get the same as the new clutch has been on for 30k atm. Its all to do with how it's driven tbh. Burnouts will kill it quickly, no doubt. Lots of motorway miles and it will last a lot longer.
  3. because you tend to find owners clubs over value their cars compared to what the rest of the world value them at. with petrol getting ever more expensive by the month you'd be suprised at how fast the value of a big engine car starts to drop. people who can't afford to run them want rid quick so sell low, and those looking to buy want a bargain because they are buying a big engine in expensive times. Dealerships offer low PX on them as they know they'll struggle to shift a big engine compared to an eco car. Value wise, a UK car with this spec is not £6.5k though. Had a quick scan on AutoTrader and they are minimum £8k mark for private sale. Although this isn't the actual sale price, I am sure they aren't selling some 25%-30% lower than that. As for 'club owners' - I am actually finding a lot of the valuations on here under what is being offered on PH, AT and the like. If this is based on people monitoring many actual sales over many months then fair enough, but it seems the opposite is happening, that on here the valuation is too harsh The problem is that there is many people on here that are ex owners who sold them a while back similar spec for similar money. The assumption on price is made on a drop from what they sold theirs for a year or two back When, in fact, the zed is coming to a point where the prices are dropping at a far slower rate. Of course they're still dropping but not very fast. It is these people that are causing the decline on prices. I myself have never seen a low mileage decent specd zed going for 6k. I have however seen some real dogs go for that.
  4. Yep having the facelift interior was a must for me and I couldn't find any hr engined car with nismo kit at a decent price at the time, so I went for the revup car. That minuscule amount of extra torque the 276 car has isnt noticeable on track at all. Buy a rev up car 313 car and map it and the torque will almost be the same if not more. In a straight line there is a noticeable difference as shown in videos I put up from Wales track day last year. My car was far faster in a straight line than the 276 albeit I have it mapped with some mods but still the 300ps version. I have been in many zeds and some feel fast and some don't which is bizarre. I think there are some real rough cars out there and some which run better standard.

  6. The nismo flexis aren't very long. When I replaced mines the exhaust manufacturer said he put longer ones in to take the stress off of the flexis and decats as when the original nismo exhaust is fitted the flexis are stretched when tightening the system up.
  7. The nismo ones go because the flexis are fitted under stress. I had mines replaced and it wasnt due to decats.
  8. You'll be suprised. The 313 shifts and is very very smooth compared to the 276
  9. Sorry but what's the thinking that the decats caused this???? Am I missing something???
  10. I got a newsletter saying that they are running knockhill in reverse Thats gonna be scary with speed coming down the straight to the hairpin... gonna be a lot of people early braking to make sure they're gonna stop in time lol
  11. I searched boot release problem
  12. Or here http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=37034&hilit=penny+trick

    Downforce

    It has a k1 by the looks of things also
  15. Dad owned it before me from new and never had a single issue with the entire car Very Very Bizarre
  16. Decats won't cause that. That looks as though it's has been rubbing on the ground. Its towards the top side under the chassis , Its going to the garage on Friday to see whats happened and to patch it up for now. Id think Decats but the other side is fine , But if its on the top side it cant be anything else sureley.. Il probably be in touch Friday night My guessing is that it may have been like that before you bought it tbh. Possibly the y-pipes been turned around to disquise it. I'm not so sure about that being able to be patched up tbh. Never seen this before especially on the top side
