Hi there guys, Well firstly I have to admit that the Z was not pushing the right buttons and after all the mucking about getting it legal for Germany I was pretty p1ssed off with it. That was till yesterday, cleaned her up and did all the fluids and some niggly bits to her and then went for a blast in Paderborn. ESP off and unrestricted autobahns certainly put the smile back on my face. So can now officially say I will be keeping her and keep an eye out for some more mods soon.

So tempted mate, was planning for the end of the month but I'm on a course for work now so was thinking next weekend. Where you staying down there?

Hhmmmm tempted. I'll have a chat with the other half and get back to you. Keep an eye out for me on Sunday mate.

Hi there mate, Cheers for the info, i'll hopefully do that over the weekend. Its the Front Middle bolt.

Hi there all, Bit of a problem, I have a small oil leak coming from the front middle bolt head recess on the plenum. The previous owner had a plenum spacer fitted but I dont know the details of it etc. Its not a great deal coming out, there isn't and spray on the inside of the bonnet or anywhere else in the engine bay. Any help would be great, due to being in Germany and Nissan dealer being the only realistic option its going to have to be a self help solution, cant just nip over to Abbey for help. Sorry about the pics, I've broke my camera and the Iphone is known for its crap camera Cheers all, Rob

Just to add to what Gaz said about the first aid kit. It cant be a small cheap one, it has to meet German laws, Halfords did one iirc but cant remember how much. This thread reminds me I need to get all the kit for mine haha

Hi there guys, Right then, here is my thoughts for my first Nurburgring lap. I've been there but didn't get round the track as it was shut due to an accident. I plan to go down on the Friday 30th July after work and overnight somewhere. There is a race on on the Saturday, the 7th VLN Endurance race, tickets for the paddock and grandstands are 12 euro and viewing on the Nordschleife is free. The track is then open on the Sunday from 0800 - 1930. If any one in Europe or UK can make it then great, would be good to get a few Z's together at the ring. I'll post more details as when I get them. Regards, Rob

Ah ok, think I spoke to the same fella but you had already got them haha. The whole BFG has been a right pain in the ass for me. Sorted now tho. I'll let you know on the ring trip front, have to meet up locally some time

I borrowed a set for the test and swopped back afterwards. Gives me a year to sort out but am finding out about the set in the cellar and as said I have dibs on wookies. Where did you get yours from?

Hi there Gaz, I'll let you know what I get up to with them. I've still got RHD lights on at the mo, got dibs on a set of Nissan LHD lights when Wookiee gets posted. Will have to meet up mate, I'm planning to go to the ring very soon. Rob

Hi there fellas, I have sat in the cellar a set of halogen bulb LHD headlights. (They're not Niisan parts) My problem is my car is a Xenon version. I have to keep them LHD as I live in Germany but I want to do something non-standard to them. I like the BMW style "Halo" lights and seen some with LED's in the top of the light. Also I hate the orange strip so that would have to go. Oh and importantly make them compatible with my car. Any ideas who can do the work at a reasonable price or is it a DIY job? Cheers, Rob

Many thanks Martin.

Any thoughts on this from the mods? There is a Channel Islands section with no posts in it, below the areas part there is multiple posts for events in Europe. Good oportunity to de-clutter that area of the site. Please leave any thoughts on this matter as I feel it is a justified request. Kind regards, Rob

Ah bugger yeah it is that weekend. Well that might make "The 1" a bit quieter, took 5 hours from Gutersloh last time.

Hi guys, As the title says really. I think there is a few of us out here now and would make it easier to sort out any events and meets out here. Just a thought really. MAny thanks, Rob

Hi guys, I'm looking at going to the Ring on Sunday 13th June. Looking at driving down on the Saturday, staying in a hotel for a 0800 arrival at the track on Sunday. Circuit is open 0800 - 1930. Going to try and get blokes from work to come but will prob go anyway if I cant. Hopefully see some of you there if you can make it. Rob

Hi there mate, I've spoke to CTD on the phone, they seem ok blokes. Gaz, I'm in Gutersloh, have to sort a run to the Ring mate, seems theres a couple of us over here now. Just a thought. What camp you on?

Saw you on Tuesday lunchtime in the village high street. I was on foot unfortunatly.

Apart from the first week of June I cant see why I couldnt make it (He says LOL). Dont think there is anything planned with work but WILL HAVE to be a weekend for me. If you can keep me updated on a poss date by PM that would be great. Cheers guys, Rob

Yeah I know, got a lot on at the moment with work and having issues getting access to my tools. It was easier to just get them to do it. Poor excuse I know but its just a one-off.

Nissan Germany have quoted 165 euro each and 150 euro for fitting and emissions test. Unfortunately I've had to go with that option due to time constraints. Not happy tho.

Hi there all, Had to get an emissions test done as part of the MOT style test out here, the car failed. The CO2 reading was fine but the Lambda reading was to high at 1.042. Went to the local main dealer here and run it on their machine and it failed again with similar readings. The Nissan machine didnt pick up any reading from the 2 sensors forward of the cats, the mechanic reckons these are broke and that is the cause. So my questions to you all is this, is this a common fault or bad luck that both have gone and is approx 500 euro (450 quid) about right to supply and fit? Car is a 2004 UK GT with 27000 miles. Many thanks, Rob

Seen a few of them here in Germany. Google the older versions seen a couple of pretty cool modified ones.

As the title really, saw you today on PRB in Gutersloh.
