  1. Never seen one on the road, good job really as it'd make my kuro black look rather bland Spectacular stand out colour love the chicane yellow on the 370Z too
  2. Get it changed mate, mine drove me mad for two years before it finally packed in. Travelled nearly 300 miles to pick up the car and the salesman phoned me on route saying the car would be ready an hour later than agreed as they hadn't finished valeting. Sure the extra hour was spent playing CDs so the unit didn't skip when I picked it up
  3. Just a JVC KW R500, relatively cheap but a reasonable sound, certainly nothing exciting enough to warrant a pic, plus my limited IT skills don't extend to things of such a technical nature
  4. Nice to have some proper sound again and without the skipping malarkie , makes me wonder why I didn't get rid of that rank Bose/Clarion thing months ago.
  5. Typical of my recent bad luck, the day I decide to have my new head unit fitted and the forums down Thankfully my mechanic pal is pretty hot on all things electrical and managed to get it successfully installed but could have got it done a lot quicker with the help of the wealth of information to be found on here. Big thumbs up to everyone involved in getting the forum back up and running
  6. Traded for a navara who on earth would want to do that
  7. its not her looks that make her unattractive for me, its her gobshite attitude. Girls who are up them selves are a big no-no for me. Not saying they have to have zero self confidence but being down to earth is a must. Spot on, been out with several girls who have had an overinflated opinion of themselves but in reality have been very average. Don't have a lot of time for full on overconfident girls, infact I go for quite the opposite and find modesty a very attractive trait. My prefered body type, don't mind as long as they're young, slim and pretty
  8. Don't know if this has been covered before but does certain music influence your driving style? The reason I ask this is because my other half reckons that Rammstein, especially played loud, makes me drive a lot faster and with more aggression (towards the road not other road users I must add!) Nothing like going for a blast with Rammstein at full blast, just need fire out of the exhaust for the full Rammstein effect!
  9. Definitely 1283, ignorant to the significance of the code though
  10. Fourtyeight year old warehouse manager for the NHS. Ex punkrocker, football hooligan and pub doorman Srangely enough, earlier in the week, one of the young lads in my gym asked what car I drove. He appeared a little surprised when I said a 350Z to which i responded 'what did you expect me to drive, a people carrier or something!!' Think you'll find a very wide spectrum of zed owners, don't think the concept of a stereotypical owner exists
  11. Had the same problem today, no super unleaded anywhere in Shrewsbury!! Fuel tank light was on by the time I reached Tescos, my last option, so had to put in a tenners worth of standard 95 ron. Thankfully have a second car so will fill up with super later in the week when the nonsense has hopefully concluded. What really infuriates me is that there was absolutely no need for all this panic buying, if everybody had acted responsibly and filled up only when they needed fuel there wouldn't have been a shortage. These are the same imbeciles who clear the shelves of bread at Christmas, brain dead the lot of em
  12. See the car regularly if it's the same one I'm thinking of, chap lives in Copthorne and my mate reckons he's previously had quite a few quick motors although I've only noticed the zed. Informed him of this site about a year ago and gave him the web address explaining that it's a hive of information but obviously he wasn't interested. Seems to be a few zeds knocking round the Shrewsbury area at the moment, common as muck now
  13. Thanks for the advice Just want something to play CDs, no need for a fancy touch screen especially at £400+ a throw No real problem with the installation as I've got a pal who'll kindly do that, was just hoping it'd be relatively simple as not to inconvenience him too much. COYS
  14. Looking for a new head unit as the factory Bose/Clarion piece of junk has finally packed in (check disc error). Can anyone recommend a compatible unit, nothing fancy just something that plays CDs and is relatively easy to install.
  15. Always acknowledge other zeds when I encounter them, would say it's 50/50 if I get a response back. Got a thumbs up from a chap in an azure coupe in Shrewsbury this morning
  16. Thats the one, reminded me just how ghastly the decals were, totally out of place on the car in my opinion, very tacky and dramatically spoils the look
  17. Saw one of these parked up in Church Stretton yesterday and had a bit of a look around it much to the worry of the owner who I noticed peeping through his window as a six foot four shaven headed bodybuilder analysed his car, think he may have thought I was trying to steal it Anyway, I was most impressed, striking shade of yellow, stunning alloys, a real head turner But, what are those hideous eighties style decals on the side of the car all about think they completely spoil the look of an otherwise stunning motor everyone to their own I suppose but my first move would be to get them removed. Otherwise was really impressed, stunning, want one!!
  18. Southbound Wrexham area Saturday about 18:30 and looking mint
  19. Today it's been Supergrass, Green Day, Manic Street Preachers, System of a Down X 2 and Korn, quite a mixture and the most amazing thing was the fcuking thing wasn't skipping

    Chester GTR

    Travelled from Shrewsbury for a Saturday night out in Chester, passed on the A5 Nesscliffe bypass by a R8 that made me feel stationary and I wasn't hanging around, bully lol, christ the thing could accelerate, awesome fair play. Got to Chester and parked up in the car park by the station, on walking out I saw a 60 plate red GTR parked outsite one of the hotels, never seen one of the new ones up close before, what a beast it was gorgeous, want one now, excited me more than my date
  21. Finally managed to chat to the owner of a black GT4 that I regularly see parked up in Shrewsbury. Nice looking car too. Gave him the details of this site explaining how helpful the members are and what a fabulous source of information it is. Don't post regular and internet conversation isn't really my thing so don't get involved in the banter but when neccessary I have found the information invaluable. Top marks to a top site.
  22. Always refer to mine as my bat mobile
  23. Having a major service on the zed next week, is it worth changing the power steering fluid? It's a 2004 car and has done 48000 miles, plus the power steering has always worked fine. Would anyone recommend it to be done or is it best left alone and only changed if there's a problem?
