  4. Hi guys, I have only just bought my Z with the GT pack and i thought the Bose head unit would be great but first thing was a tape player then i loaded my cd's and talk about skip, if the car is cold they do not play at all, when or should i say if they do play they skip like mad, i put a cd lens cleaner through it several times with no joy. Now i am not bothered about a multichanger as inserting 1 cd at a time suits me or do i buy one of those mp3 adaptor things as i have an ipod touch or should i buy a new head unit? If any of you have changed your head unit, can you tell me which make and model you have as well as the price it cost and what you think of it so far. Cheers

  6. Nice set of answers guys the rear tyres were some unknown name i have never heard of before and the fronts were federal's. BTW i would only turn the "traction control" Off if i were on a track.....So no changes mid corner or no letting off the gas, so it's the slow in fast out scenario with a bit of oversteer on the exit Stupid i know testing my car out in the wet with shite unknown rubber that was only 2mm in places, but i thought i was the STIG! well it was a valuble lesson learned and now i have new rubber on all 4 corners i will take it easier and get to know my car. I am going to take it to the track in February "Oulton Park" novice track day, best place to learn me finks.
  7. Hi all, i have just recently acquired a 2005, 1 owner, FNSH, UK car and i am over the moon with it as i have had my heart set on one for a few years now and finally bought it. Day 2 of ownership was nearly my last and here is why: i was trundling along following a BMW 335i the roads were wet and we entered a dual carrageway, he sped off and i followed at a similar pace i then overtook him just before going into a long right hand bend and i eased off the gas slightly part way into the bend and the back end came round ever so slowly i immediately steered into the skid and the back end nearly went the other way but i managed to get her going straight again, before slowing down and taking my exit Now the tyres were all but shot and it was wet, but it was a familiar bit of road that i have been through at pace before in my Skoda Octavia 2.0T VRS which is front wheel drive. Now i know all cars drive differently as i had to adapt when i had my 4wd Subaru Impeza and also my front wheel drive VRS, but this is different somehow compared to when i had a rear wheel drive BMW 320D 170BHP, i know i now have 280bhp going to the rear's but the balance of the 350Z is supposed to be setup excellently 53%F to 47%R weight distribution, but my confidence has taken a battering and i want reasurance from other 350Z drivers on how well they handle and also any driving tips for twisty's, can you back off mid corner? does the LSD affect the handling on bends. I did not buy the car to drive it like i was driving miss daisy home, i bought it to drive it like i stole it only now and again . The following day i did have new rubber fitted all round, Falken FK452's which i have now almost scrubbed in, but i don't want to be a straight line merchant as anyone can drive quick in a straight line, i want to drive it quick through sweeping bends etc like it was meant to be driven, but first i have to understand how she handles. I have watched loads of 350Z video's on youtube and saw this one which is similar to what happened to me.
