Was looking to go gun metal / anthracite on my azure and now I'm pretty sold on the idea. Looks good.

.

It's raining again... Think I might leave this one. Shame really I was quite looking forward to it. Maybe next month.

I'll be there if the roads dry out a bit.

Cool, the sky looks threatening but no rain yet...

We'll see what happens

Are you guys still up for this if the weather holds off? If so let's get a meeting point sorted.

Does it not depend what ones.

I was looking at a set for over £500

Nissan 350 Brake Pads

 

If you would like to select a different model you can return to the

Nissan page.

350 Z Year: 02>

Coupe Front Axle Thickness (mm): 18.0, Braking System: BRE RS19 Yellow (Ceramic Based) £-2.40 RS4-2 Blue (Carbon Based) £258.25 RS4-4 Orange (Carbon Based) £258.25 RS29 Yellow (Ceramic Based) £322.81 Rear Axle Thickness (mm): 16.5, Braking System: BRE RS4-2 Blue (Carbon Based) £164.48 RS4-2-1 Black (Carbon Based) £164.48 RS14 Black (Ceramic Based) £181.19 RS5 Blue (Ceramic Based) £181.19 RS15 Grey (Ceramic Based) £186.62 RS19 Yellow (Ceramic Based) £205.63 RS29 Yellow (Ceramic Based) £205.63

Ah I see, if they are a different model then my bad.

However I'm not too sure from the pics which series these are?

Just so you know, front and rear pagids can be had online brand new for £50 inc delivery. If you lower the price you will probably shift them

Doesn't find anything for me?

Do you have an actual link?

Sounds good. I'm only in Basingstoke so not too far. I have to drop the other half at work in sherfield at around half 7 and then I can shoot straight up.

If people want to meet somewhere beforehand I'm up for that. Where are we thinking?

I used to go to this meet quite alot. I haven't been for at least two years. If there's a little group of us I think I'll come down. What time do you guys normally get there?

Great facilities to have, cue divorce!

You'd think she would use an 'oar' rather than a 'boat'!

Is that to me? Lol if so, I didn't lol as was a bit pi**ed off as got producer for nothing...fair enough it was for something more serious that made car dangerous to drive..but side light bulb? 2 min job to replace...but all hussle of going to the garage to get it checked and stamped n then returning producer back...meh! Lol

Better than a fine or points though

I kept on top of mine with the Megs metal polish. It seemed to leave a better protective coat than autosol did.

Wasso that sounds like a good idea, a good carnuba should work a treat.

I can see a fast diesel being alluring if your car is a daily mile muncher... But if MPG was an issue we wouldn't own a 3.5L V6

However just to stir the pot...

When I had my celica I had it in bodyshop and one of the jobs was to smooth out holes in from bumper made by screws for number plate, and I had my number plate attached l(with suction cups) to the front left corner of windscreen(by tax disc) ones police were driving past as I was getting into my car in a public car park. They stopped for a chat and a quick check...asked about number plate if it was blocking my view-n it wasn't blocking it that much, then they got all their books and manuals out from the boot of their car-but after looking thru them for good 10minutes-they couldn't find anything that said it was illegal, wished me a good day and let me go!

Also a friend of mine, about 2 years ago, asked VOSA bloke at one of cruises about having number plate in the window and he said as far as its displayed on the front of the car, it's fully visible and as vertical as possible (as possible...so I guess it don't have to be fully vertical) its fine!

My other mate has American style tilted number plate bracket-he got told off n told to change it, as cameras wouldn't pick it up.

So long story short - as far as its fully visible it will be fine

 

Think you've been given some duff info there Vlad

 

I've researched this numerous times and spoken to quite a few traffic cops over the years who all come back saying that it has to be on the most front part of the car

 

Putting it in the window may be making it visible, but is illegal - I think the cops just give a bit of discretion when it comes to that from my experience though

 

quite possibly I been given duff info... been reseaching myself and couldn't find any def. answers

But as kris sad above - if you dont go over the top with it or do anything stupid - dont think coppers will give you any trouble... but at same time all depends on the copper(s)... as some of them are n*bs!

It's all about attitude really, the new style 'producers' have vehicle rectification notices on them aswell, meaning an officer can issue you a ticket stating you need to get the plate sorted out, then you take it the the garage which stamps the form to say the work has been carried out, you then produce this form at the station. Alot better way of dealing than dishing out fines for what is really a small offence!

But yes, unfortunately some officers (usually traffic) can be a bit anal to say the least.

Mr2 stylee would be how I'd describe my corsa plate lol

I think about the size of the plates on my cars many moons ago and cringe!

'As vertical as possible' is correct, so in your window is breaking the regs.

As long as people aren't stupid with it ie. put the plate flush with the bottom lip and facing upwards (which I have seen alot of MR2 owners do!) then the police shouldn't give you hassle. If your doing something silly your just giving them the excuse to turn your car over. There's nothing about it being centralised as already mentioned.

My old zed with the centres blended from shadow chrome (I think??) into silver:

This was before fitting front spacers:

It looked alot better in the flesh tbh.

When I went from the s2k to the 350 my premium went down by £450. However my tax is now over £450 a year and lower mpg so it's all relative. Even though there's not an awful lot difference in book mpg figures I found that because of the s2ks big rev range it was easier to get even better mpg if you drove it steadily.

The S2k is fun but I feel more at home in the zed. Just drive them both

Rear sold, front still available.

I liked my s2k alot, however for daily I prefer my 350. Different cars that are great in their own way.

My S2k was pre facelift so in the rain could be a bit lairy if you didn't treat it with respect!
