Lol sorry to the op for the thread hijack. Just thought it would be good up know since you got an auto now. When you floor it you don't even have to let off the throttle.

Ment as a honest question to you rich i think the newer version combats alot of those issues, i must admit what i'm looking for in a car is different to what i wanted in the zed, i much prefer my jag to the zed; but then i want more comfort, 2 more seats, and an auto box for my ever decreasing knee. there are mods for the older ones that can switch the weight of the steering to give back the feel, you can also retro fit paddle shifts. but it all comes down to what your looking for in a car, as for soul thats very much down to personal opinion, i think the old jag has bundles of soul. i'd rather the jag over a hot hatch. aimed at me or the last poster?

Do you still think you could shift faster than the autobox? i think the newer version combats alot of those issues, i must admit what i'm looking for in a car is different to what i wanted in the zed, i much prefer my jag to the zed; but then i want more comfort, 2 more seats, and an auto box for my ever decreasing knee. there are mods for the older ones that can switch the weight of the steering to give back the feel, you can also retro fit paddle shifts. but it all comes down to what your looking for in a car, as for soul thats very much down to personal opinion, i think the old jag has bundles of soul. i'd rather the jag over a hot hatch.

horrible things to drive. honestly they weigh about 5million tons. Handle like a barge feels like you are constanstly about to tip and when on the lower setting is less comfortable then sitting on a chair of angry scorpions. at 70 with cruise on it was getting 13.3mpg thats for a 3l diesel!! and its crap in the snow, and cos it weighs a billion tons when trying to brake in snow you will die. Totally disagree with you on that. I found it very good to drive. The s-line stuff and paddle gearbox was amazing. The car handles fantastically also for a 3ton 4x4. Even on 22" wheels it feels light on the steering. The acceleration and torque is mind-blowing. 130quid for a tank of fuel and got 530miles out the tank with various thrashing and runs to the gym etc. What you have to remember is that it's not a sports car and doesn't drive like one. It drives like a fast 4x4. it was a s line that I drove. got just over 400miles from a tank with cruise. I wasnt thrashing it, was mainly motorway and some city but not much stop start. Acceleration is terrible and it was hardly torquey. Maybe you drove a better one that what I did it was an 07 sline 3.0 v6 tdi? Honestly an x5 is much much much nicer. My uncle sold his q7 as it was terrible of fuel too, replaced it with a 550i which was better on fuel. now that 5.0 v8 had torque and acceleration. Different people perfer different things though.

i personally perfer the look of the oem ones to the rays but when you get rays they make a big difference to how the car feels. Lightweights rules.

i think nicad has these too. Most of the boys from driftworks run them.

It's hardy cheap it touching m3 prices. Have you ever driven a boxster if you have you would understand. I personally perfer my zed but only because it's modded. I'm Not sure if ekona will agree with me but the boxster is actually better chassis wise. If you put the 3.8 block in there which people have done on most roads it would take your 911. Mid engine is just so balanced.

How did you know that the ones with the lambda plugged in was hfc? I wouldn't rip another member off. That's not good! There was me all happy thinking I had 2 sets of HFCs. I was going to give a pair to a friend of mine who also has a 350z, I guess not! Thanks for finding out for me, appreciate it! I

The most likely answer. You could check the American forums as that's where the company is based

Deffo off a non hr. If you dont want them il happily take them back.

I love how much they weigh Good deal you got
-
buster got his v2 and said it was fine didnt he? But I think if it doesnt fit the customer service isnt great. IMO Id go with Tarmac or epracing.

thats a picture from rik.

I agree with you but everyone can make a difference. I opt to drink pepsi instead of coke. Small step yes but if alot of use change businesses will listen. We as a people have gotten into this rut that we don't question anything and put up with anything. If tax goes up10p on petrol or no food is locally sourced we don't care we just take it. It will take alot of people to really want to change up bring it though. That's gonna be pretty hard tho... If you have an iPhone for example, it says Made In China Most consumer electronics are made there because the businesses are outsourcing most of their production to China. And those trainers you wear are most likely to be manufactured in India. Us mere mortals are just pawns in the big businesses chess game.

I still love the car though and to bring a car Market at the price they did is amazing. I'm Not sure about other cars but the 350z seems to have a real cult following

The fuel tank is hardly huge. It's the same size as a 986 boxster and my mums c class. A boxster IMO has a worse engine smaller too. Less bracing but cos it's mid engine and weighs as my 172 it's quick. Although IMO anything less than 3.2/3.4 is a waste the chassis can handle much more. Boxster is comfortable to drive to albeit slightly small for me. I can see what your saying about the money put in development but nissan designed this car on the cheap. IMO in standard guise it's horrible. Until I modded this car I didn't actually like it. It's like the plenum spacer why didn't they put that in design the strut brace and bonnet around it? Cos they cheaped out. IMO weight is the biggest letdown on the 350z

DYAC running! Honestly I wouldn't ge surprised. -
Climate change is happening I personally do belive we have somthing to do with it. I just think if only the people pushing the green stuff where business people and not patronising hippies it would be no problem. Is it an excuse to tax yes. If india and china pollute so much maybe people shouldn't buy from them

i got my wheels delivered from city link and ebuyer always use them (computer bits) so I have found them usually good. I suppose no one is perfect though -
The problem I find with using your hand is you can't really get a thin enough layer, all you get is messy big blobs of carnauba, which won't be removed as well as a thin layer of wax. your doing it wrong then , ive done it once like this before but honestly isnt worth the effort. you have to massage it into your hands so its pretty much melted then work in lines. Foam applicators are better
