I was in Chester Town centre at around that time, but I was very much a Kuro. Black wheels & Do-Luck rear, but didn't see anyone else around.

not sure, but I heard it all gets lost in the drivetrain. 0 whp.

Does that say "5h1t a Honda"?

Christ on a stick! That's scary!

Still surprised there isn't at least one well restored classic like a Datsun 240z or something like that.

A good question is: Are you allowed to paint your car into police colours if these are sufficiently different to the way police cars look in the UK?

I'm happy to help out with driving those for you if you like.

Also, and I accept that this is risky, a very similar thing happened to me once. After banging the seat in a few places, the way I solved that particular problem was to recline it to the max in the direction in which it will work and then go the other way. It worked every time while I had the issue. With me it was just a case of the seat being in a weird position for the motor to push back the other way. The downside is if it doesn't work, your seat is really undriveable!

The worst thing is that I'm seeing a lot of people driving around with their fog lights on, but not their normal lights. I mean seriously?

This makes it a lot more complicated. I guess if you're definitely leaving, your best bet to save yourself as much headache as possible is to go to the letting agents, file your notice and firmly request for your deposit back on the grounds that all the deterioration in the property has been down to their mismanagement. Your best outcome without going through a lot of unnecessary pain is to get your deposit back. My gut feel though, given how helpful they have been, is that you will not see that and if you get that steer when you go speak to them, then simply withhold your last payment and thereby forego half a months' worth of deposit :S

basically, above the number plate is a gap for your boot button and the two numberplate lights. The UK rectangular number plate indent has a longer hole above it than the Do-Luck one. Therefore approximately 1/3 of each light is showing directly through the hole with the rest being to the side. My question was whether that light/button cluster for imports is shorter/narrower than the UK one (ie. is the hole above the numberplate smaller for imports?). Ideally I wouldn't like to cut into the bumper, so any solution which avoids that is preferable. Putting in LEDs doesn't really address the problem that is the fact that changing bulbs means removing the bumper and that the full amount of light does not actually go through to the numper plate. I don't have any photos, but if you think of the gap above the numberplate that I'm talking about, you'll understand what I mean.

A pneumatic drill? Can be a load of fun when you're a bored 3 year old.

I was in a similar position to you once and what I did was serve the notice well in advance of when you're moving, then figure out how much you have left to pay, deduce your deposit, deduce costs incurred as a result of them failing to adhere to the contract (ie. maintain the property) and pay the difference. Present them with your calculation neatly typed up and tell them that if they are unhappy with the outcome, you are happy for them to file for court proceedings as you have copious amounts of evidence of the landlord not abiding by the contract and you have no confidence in them returning your deposit as per the contract which is why you have taken such drastic mitigating actions. When I did that, the letting agents knew they were in the wrong and that was that.

A dyslexic man walks into a bra.

There are some screws very deep behind the lights which you can get to with a lot of arm twisting and a very long thin screwdriver. Search and look around as there have been posts about this before. I know for sure that you can adjust horizontally, but am pretty sure there is a screw for vertical adjustment as well. Takes forever as you have to do a million turns to move it.

Hi guys, I've got a fairly specific question. I've got a UK zed with a UK number plate light cluster with the boot opening mechanism. I've recently upgraded to a Do-Luck bumper with a Jap-sized number plate and an appropriately sized hole. I've got a problem where the hole is much smaller than my cluster and as a result I can't replace the bulbs which fail due to overheating as the holes are not big enough. Do imported zeds have a narrower cluster? If not, does anyone have any idea what I can do other than make the gap above the number plate wider which ideally I would not like to do? Taking off the rear bumper to replace a bulb every few weeks is really not cool.

There was a fully pimped, lowered zed with a nismo style bodykit and deep dish alloys on the latest incarnation of 4 weddings US. Was in the background of a few shots.

That was me and it's not an import! Just a Do-Luck rear with a Jap-sized plate.

Thank you so much for your immediate help guys! This forum is fantastic if you're in need. My brother in law's car got totalled and it was complete darkness and I'd spent about 30 minutes trying to find how to sort him out. It turns out that Do-Luck have a nifty diffuser/floor spoiler thing happening in the part of the car where normal people have tow hook holes so we had to come up with an alternative method of shifting his scrap metal around east anglia.

can you tow a car in the zed? if so, how??

In most cases parking on the street is even cheaper than parking on the drive It's about the car being visible, so stealing it is harder.

Yeah. I just drove to and from the Tesco round the corner and also didn't see any zeds. I really ought to put up a thread of its own just to document this atrocity, but thought I'd share it here first.

I find the fastest way is to start in the top left-hand corner with the left pedal pressed down. Then you carefully depress the pedal while AT THE SAME TIME pressing the pedal on the right. Then when the car is rolling along a bit, what you've got to do is let go of the pedal that makes all that noise and go press that pedal on the left again. Once you've managed to push it all the way to the floor, you push the gearstick thing down into the bottom left-hand corner and repeat what you did after you went into first. At this point you must be going pretty darn fast and everything in front of you is blurring into a daze, much akin to many a computer game. Take care to avoid kerbs, grannies with shopping bags, your mates in their pimped corsas and other random obstacles in the tesco car park. If you still have space before you run out of car park space, you could try changing into the gear in the middle of the three at the top, once again making good use of the clutch pedal. If you're feeling lazy and/or competing against Barry in his 43hp Citroen, you could always just go straight for the bottom right-hand corner option. This turns your gearbox into automatic mode with no need to change gears and gives it awesome sound when you're breaking through the sound barrier at 40mph.

I'm trying to decide the exact same thing myself + driving there is a whole lot more fun! My shortlist is: Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Munich, Bratislava.

I have seen a website about a year ago with racks specifically designed for the 350z. Had two zeds pictured from an elevated position from the back with the racks on. Where this was, I have no idea, but there is definitely something out there. As for driving in the winter, I drove mine all through last winter @120+ miles a day including all the snow, etc. If you are capable and do not drive like an idiot, you'll be fine. Edit: having actually googled the matter, it is indeed the Boofsquire roof rack as per above posts.
