  1. buyers who claim to be abroad and will pay you online and have a shipping agent who will pick it up is a very common scam. i dont know what the next phase of the con is because i always ignore these kinds of emails

     

    but you say its the other way round and the seller is away, not heard about that but you should be very wary

  2. i just had to put my 350 into a body shop for repair to a dent and respray, not sure if thats coincidence or relavent but now its developed a strange fault

     

    as soon as i turn on the headlights the car goes haywire, there are 3 yellow warning lights that come on, ABS warning, ESP off and the one which you normally get when wheelspinning - the symbol of the car with skid lines under it. Also the cruise control wont work. And the car is on some sort of safe mode where it wont go over 4000 rpm and seems very slow

     

    now if i turn off the ignition, turn off the headlights and restart the engine the car runs normally

     

    weird eh? any idea whats going on?

  3. theres a run what you brung event at santa pod this saturday 17th october, i think i will go anyone else up for it. i will be a total beginner at drag racing

     

    i also saw on their website they have some kind of drift course and tuition but not on this saturday i think its next saturday 24th

  4. just bought myself a 53 reg silver one, and what better way to try it out that to thrash it round an airfield for the day :drive1 at some point my passengers side electric window wasnt working very well and then when it went down didnt come up again. and then when i thought i would try a run with the ESP turned on to see how it handled, not very well this cause the engine managemnet warning to come on, so with it being a new car for me i got scared and stopped racing. i was at the north weald airfield day as on this threadhttp://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=23371&start=60 but not this day, the sunday was fully booked and went friday. so didnt meet with you which would have been nice

     

    got the AA to come out and eventually got the window up by taking the door apart. its now disconnected and the engine fault P1167 is for a heated 02 senser 2 . does anyone know more about that, i dont think it was serious

     

    bit dissapointed the zed didnt take the day 100%, i love the handling and the way the back likes to drift out but in a controllable way even for me who had no expereince and the speed and accelleration, but they do feel a bit heavy in some ways, well compared to my passenger run in someones vauxall VRX, but then the 350 is a lot more than just a pure track racer

  5. theres a zed i am maybe buying, for sale through this forum. its quite well priced because the bodywork is a bit scratched up and the money i save compared with all the similar age/mileage cars that i've seen would give me a budget to modify the car a bit

     

    i was thinking to change the colour to something unique, ie non standard nissan colour. perhaps some sort of very dark metallic green. on the other hand the kuro black is also nice

     

    anyone know how much a decent respray might cost, to do it well? how do you think it will effect the resale of the car?

  6. hi there, i think i need to join the 350z gang, test drove on last week and love it, that was an import and for me i think they are too much an unknown, puts me off for whatever reason

     

    so i am after a UK model, with GT pack and i have 11,000 to spend, i am in london. needs to be a manual, colour don't mind but ideally black
