Yeah me too mate - bought her for £8100 in February You ought to see the offers I've been getting on eBay! nutters. to my epic aerial of POWA!

hmmm always forget something!

Well, the time has come (unfortunately) to let my little Ginger baby go. I've had great fun with her this year, and she has been only really used as a third car. I looked for more than a year before going for this one - the right colour, the right spec, the right interior. Well for me it was anyway! Usual fantastic UK GT spec : Rays forged alloys (good tyres all round) Brembo calipers all-round Full orange leather interior (heated, electrically adjustable seats) 6 speed gearbox Bose 6 speaker system, 6 CD in-dash changer Built-in bluetooth phone control (steering wheel controls) Cruise control (steering wheel controls) Climate control / Aircon (lovely and chilly!) Limited slip differential It's just not worth going for the cheaper non-GT models - they are cheaper for a reason - no one wants them! GT is the only way, and as mentioned in the title - this is a UK, non-imported car. She has been upgraded slightly with minimal enhancements : DBA front discs EBC rear discs DS2500 pads all round Scorpion stainless backbox & centre pipe K&N high flow oil filter Fuchs Engine oil Later revision velocity stack reproduction She has done 67,000 miles, and has a full Nissan service history, though I have changed the oil since her last service to something that's a bit more specialist (Fuchs Race Pro). The gearbox is perfect and not notchy or grinding like a lot of others - the clutch is also fine. She is also washed and waxed once a fortnight, if she has been driven or not. In case you didn't know -350Z's are 3.5 litre V6 powered, through a 6 speed manual gearbox (in my case, not auto obviously), and rear wheel drive through a limited slip diff. Ginger comes with original Nissan Z floor mats in the front and an original vertical tonneau that divides the boot in two under the rear strut brace. The ONLY "bad" bits on this car are : Clicky CV's when in reverse - a very common fault (check the forums), easy fix (as per Nissan) or buy a reconditioning kit from someone on the forum 2 small areas of missing paint - one on front corner of the bonnet (its aluminium so it doesn't rust) and on the pointy bit on the front OSF wing, which is very small and hardly noticeable. Both blemishes are smaller than 5mm across, but I like to mention it now rather than later. The handbrake cable could do with tightening a bit - I slackened off the adjuster a tad too much when fitting the rear discs, so could do with being wound back out to give a better handbrake feel. This car will be sorely missed, but I need to bump my deposit for our house move up a bit, so a quick (CASH ONLY!) sale is preferred. Tax and MOT in place until January 2012. I'm located nicely for M40 / M5 / M6 / M42 travel, in south Warwickshire. All paperwork including manuals are with the car, as well as ALL THREE KEYS! So that's two ignition keys, plus the valet key - as supplied when she left the dealership. Not many Zed's around these days with all 3 original keys still! She is for sale on Pistonheads and eBay, but a 350Z forum buyer will get the brand new and as yet unfitted ZSpeed aluminium undertray for free Price is £6950 - sorry for forgetting that first time around!

I mostly get "hairdresser". ORLY...

That's OK Stu, was just interested in seeing it come apart

Pics and guide going into how-to section?

Nice where'd you go? I need to arrange a 2 or 3 week break doing the same in May for my 10th anniversary!

Never been a huge Apple fan (enough sheeple out there already), but you cannot underestimate the huge positive effect his creations have had on the technological world. Above all, he was a family man - someone's son, someone's father, someone's husband, and more of a great loss to them than anyone else. I worry about some of the macolytes though, some of them do take things a bit far!

Please let me know when you're ready for payment

Just shedded myself up for the winter - '52 plate ForTwo Smart car Oh what fun it isn't to drive...

Did mine a couple of weekends ago, thanks for the guide. BUT : having done a lot of starter motor reconditioning in my school summer holidays many many years ago, the one thing that you must make sure has happened in step 28, is that brush dust is no longer sat in between the commutator lands. This is the main failure mode! The brush dust makes a contact between 2, 3 or more lands, and the commutator no longer fires a single winding at once, but all of them, which is not good (complete failure for the motor to turn at all). Even after using some cleaner, use a wooden toothpick or similar to scrape the crud out from between the commutator lands (the coppery bits where the brushes make contact). This is an absolute must, otherwise you will be doing the "fun" strip down and window re-alignment again after a few months. When scraping, don't use anything hard enough to damage the copper, don't keep digging for gold and trying to make your way through to the other side, don't scrape off any epoxy under the lands themselves. hth!

You have PM

Argh. How much do you think I could get for my standard GT Rays alloys with decent tyres and only slight bubbling? Really want some LMGT4's

Ooh, might have to sort this one mine then - only happens under "heavy" acceleration. Just assumed she was wetting herself in anticipation of the twisty bits. Anyone have a part number?

OK verdict is (from two seperate garages) it's a bit of cam noise. Seeing as I used 5w-30 motul last time, any recommendations for something a wee bit thicker to help out? not sure if 10w30 or 10w40 would be the right route in all honesty. Advice please!

yay, come on peeps - one more

1) Andy75 edited to add - just bog standard natural aloominyum for me please

I was thinking a bit more DeathRace 3000, and fitting spikes and bullbars to the X-Trail

Not a shed puller myself, but many of them do get stiffed for tax anyway, as their weighty trailered boxes require something with weight and torque of a reasonable amount to ensure they can pull themselves out of muddy fields, and to avoid those tail-wagging-dog moments. Around here, there is a Birmingham cycle club's well used route. 3 abreast would be the rarity - these f*ckers are typically 4 or more aside, and give you nasty stares if you're going the other way and they have to get back on their side of the road (god forbid). I commute on my cheapo Carrera bike a couple of times a week, so get the whole scary car / lorry thing, but these lycra-clad f*ck monkeys not only boil my p1ss, but also grind my gears. You can't go ANYWHERE around here at the weekend without coming across 30+ of these stringy knob-ends all in a big gaggle, all over the road.

poop. Okey kokey, be sure to give me the nod when you do.

Thanks fella

Would you take a fourth?

Hiya fella, any more of these bad boys knocking around please?

Great stuff, cheers guys. Will PM Mr. Tarmac in a mo. Let me know about your BT adaptor please Wasso me old china
