  1. Before I abandoned it in Austria last week
  2. Hi, It would appear I've never done this so, hello I started with a ginger 350z with the ginger inside, it was great. I had it for 4 years and then got a 370z which is now pimped out of it's mind. At it's heart is GTM charger kit which means it makes about 420 at the wheels. My wife has a 350z roadster and we share an S12 for throwing about at Santa pod. So needless to say we love Datsun, cough, I mean Nissans I'll be runing the S12 UK OC stabd at Santa Pod on 10th July, My Z and the S12 will both be there
  3. I am trying to find new covers or replacement rest for the door cards as nissan only sell the whole card but the ones I just ordered are longer than those in my car.
  4. Hi, Thank you, thats what I thought. I have the shorter chunkier ones, my hazard light is rectangular and towards the rear of centre console, this is preface lift isn't it?
  5. Like the title says, Are the armrests in a 350Z roadster the same as the coupe? Thank you
  6. Hi, I've put this on the FB page so thought I'd put it here as well. I've been trying to get a meeting together of the UK S12 owners and as a S12, 350 and 370 owner, I thought I'd invite the Z owners as well because there are only a few S12s left, supposedly less than 40 on the road and maybe another 100 on Sorn. The meet is at Jacks Hill Cafe on Oct 11th at 12 noon as the cafe closes at 2pm on sundays. A5 WATLING ST • TOWCESTER • NN128ET Hope to see a few people there Cheers Si
  7. Hi, Been looking about for rear wings/spoilers for a roadster. Why can't the coupe lip type wing that was standard on the UK car be fitted to a roadster? Cheers Si
  8. Hi All, Just a quick note to plug the Cannonrunuk.co.uk run that I went on last week, its sort of like a cheap version of the bullrun or gumball but with more emphasis on the roads rather than just doing high speed. Its lots of crazy roads where you are pushed just to be doing the speed limit! We did between 200 and 250 miles a day, which doesn't sound like a lot but when they are mainly mental A and B road mountain roads, it is plenty. Performance Ford sent a team with a heritage Cosworth Rally Car and there will be an article in there soon so look out for that, overall it was well worth the money and the standard of hotels and food was excellent. We got a daily directions sheet to follow in our own time so there was no pressure and you can make it as lairy as you want and if you get tired you can just take short cuts. Big shout to Rich who spent most of the time 2ft from my bumper in his ST Fiesta with Cosworth cams, Miltek pipe and new ECU, we were the only 2 to complete all the routes everyday!! SO we reckon we were 1st and 2nd!! You get stickers and t-shirts as well as the accomodation, breakfast and evening meal and its all done for you, I'd definitely get signed up for some of the future ones!! We will be going on the europe one next year or the new Peak/lakes route. Get in touch with Matt at www.cannonrunuk.co.uk and say I sent you!! Cheers Si 370Z (and ex ginger 350Z owner)
  9. Just reading through this, I had a Ginger 04 350Z and now have a Black 370Z Ultimate, the 370Z is definately softer than the 350 but this isn't bad, it has more grip anyway (just because of the new chassis and bigger rubber?) and being softer makes most fast road driving more comfortable its not like we have very many decent (read smooth) roads in the uk!! I think Stig must have switched syncro off!! One of my mates who does hill climbs and sprints drove mine and said it was weird as the car seemed to do it just before he would naturally have done the blip, I really like it, its made my crap driving smoother, (I was a feeble 12th overall on my day at Race Academy!! I blame Lucas for making me sick as soon as I got there!!). Oh and the sound does get better the more you thrash them, I'm up to 3K and the tone has definately improved although I am thinking S tune system still!
  10. I've looked but can't find any indication of what timne to get there?
  11. This was one sick day, got to drive GTRs and 370Zs round Silverstone South and do a mini drifting session in 370s and a GTR head to head sprint. The GTRs were all either US or Jap and the 370s were all LHD, some manual (for the drifting) but mainly paddle (for the track). We got taken round in a Race preped 350Z from last year with the guy who won the Playstation/Nissan thing, Lucas, spanish bloke, dead nice and fast, he got second in the drivers and the team won the constructors. The maddest bit was at the end of the GTR track session when all the instructors race each other!! I was buzzin my tits off, I have never been so scared and buzzin at the same time, they only have one rule, no body contact!!Here's a bit of them lining up! I'll try and get some videos up soon!! Oh and overall I was 12th out of 26 on the day! The car park was crazy aswell (There's abit of it below)!!

    Well having had 12 bikes and just two cars, I suddenly realised that fast fun cars could be bought for reasonable money without buying expensive exotica. So I started down the Z path and then had a couple of S chassis cars and as a household we have now had both 350Z coupe and roadster and 370Z coupe and roadser.
