On my way to work this morning, thought I was seeing things with two spotted on the 15mile commute!!

Black 313 on plate ND08 in Eckington

Chilli on A619 from Worksop to Chesterfield

Got a wave from the Chilli as I flashed but nothing from the black one, both around 9am, I was in the Azure roadster

Anyone on here?

Well can you believe it, hours spent detailing just about to set off and its peeing it down on the freshly waxed zed

ive been exactly the same today

spent three hours cleaning, drying, claying (my first ever attempt), and then a polish

took it out for a 5min drive to Morrisons to get some petrol before the setoff tomorrow morning and it lashed it down - i was fuming

fingers crossed itll look OK tomorrow morning, otherwise dont hold it against me my first decent car and not really had any attempts at detailing before

see you all tomorrow between 9am and 10am

cant wait

huskys looks unbelieveable!!

ill not be taking ot off, but ive found these two (i love AutoGlym, hence the search), which would you choose: -

- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Autoglym-Metal- ... 196&sr=8-3

- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Autoglym-autome ... 196&sr=8-1

as said, i wont be taking it off so will be doing it laying on the floor or on my knees

need to try and get sorted before Cardiff

thanks for all the help

hi

does anyone have any tips on how to get your exhausts cleaned and gleaming?

ive tried when washing the car but they dont seem to come up as good

there is also the silver splitter underneath that needs a good clean before Wales too - hope to have it all gleaming before i come down

if anyone could help that would be good

need to get my mates jack too so i can take the Rays off to clean inside - so much to do and not enough time!!

thanks

I'm comin now

 

Been umming and arrring for ages as we only get back from Mexico on the Thursday!!

 

But after seeing pics from last year and the great roads it looks awesome!!

 

Can you put my name down for the Saturday please, I'll drive down early morning and have a full day there before driving back, want to see the bloke regarding the dents and would love some tips from the pros as to best clean my car

 

Not the best driver or the best 350z so hopefully won't get much stick from you guys but would love to show off my Azure roadster and see the stunners from the forums

 

Do I need to PM a mod or is this ok for me to attend?

 

 

 

Thank

 

Got your interest - let me know your first name and that of your +1 if you are not alone.

 

You will need to be at Moreton by 9am on the Saturday and if you are staying for the BBQ let me know about that as well.

 

Send me a pm, eh

Colin - PM sent

im hopin to travel with the South Yorks people early Saturday morning but ill be coming home the same day due to just getting back from Mexico - ill be the one with the nice Tequila Tan

Put me down for the day events, the dent man visit, stone chip one if that happens too, and the BBQ (be rude not too!)

Cant wait to see all the Zs and if any kind sir would let me have a photo in theirn GT4 itd be worth every penny to me (especially a one )

PM me if you need anything else Colin, and thanks again

If it's only two hours then I'm down for goin

7am is fine by me too, quick drink somewhere then set off - where you thinking of meeting for a drink?

Cookbot - just come on your own mate, don't think the GF wants to come with me so you can talk to me and well both be loners you are only 5mins from me so we could meet first?

I'm from Eckington, which is sort of Chesterfield way

In two minds as to whether to drive down on the Saturday, really wanna go but not sure what the GF has in mind of doin

How long you reckon it'll take to get there?

Hey all

As title says really.....

Got a decent price on some Pirelli P0 tyres, my mate swears by them on his Astra VXR but I know the Zed is totally different!!

Just wondering on views etc before buying

Cheers.

Sign me up too if it's before 11th May as that's when I'm on holiday

does the boot matt fit the roadster or are they seperate fitting?

ive added it to the watch list anyway

cheers

Just wanna say thanks to all

After about 25 goes I managed to rest the ECU!

Waitin to get my mate to run a diagnostics test tomorrow to get the code and I'll post it up here for advice

Once again thankyou very much lads!!

Am I still ok to take the car to work tomorrow?

Gonna be a 30mile roundtrip but don't wanna do any extra damage

I'll try get the code on my break when I get 10mins

Thanks for the fast reply!!

I'll have to have a go tomorrow if I get a decent break

Is it all completely safe? Wouldn't it just reoccur on next start up if it is a problem?

Cheers mate

not sure if this needed to be in technical or not so apologies if wrong

the girlfriend drove the Z home from work tonight, so not speeding or caning it at all, ive come to park it up in the garage earlier and as im reversing it in the engine management light has appeared

it came on steady so i parked her up and left it 5mins but still lit up steady when ignition is on

looked in the handbook and it describes it as the Malfunction Light

doesnt really give much info on what this could be or where to start, basically says to go to Nissan

im no mechanic at all, dont know really anything about how to fix things, but wondered if anyone could shed any light on this as its got me a bit worried - only had my Z for almost 2months!

ive checked under the engine and it was hot but nothing untoward i wouldnt have thought

hopefully it isnt serious, was hoping to get some new alloys/tyres before the weather gets nice but if this turns out to be an expensive repair

thanks in advance

Saw the above this mornin

Nice and very clean Blade NB08 *** drivin from Wirksop towards Chesterfield on the A619 at 7:45am

Didn't flash/wave as I was in the Focus

Any member on here own this one?

What would happen if I trimmed my original one down, it's like the stubby but with a thin carbon fibre bit on

Tempted to try it!

If it messes up I'll have to buy an S2000 one I suppose

Anyone tried cuttin one before!?

Thanks for the help Chilli

Would have preferred to buy off you but I'll see if I can get one tomorrow if you've none left

Thanks again

Look for a Honda S2000 aerial

Got a link or anything please mate?

I wanted it for show but it's gotta have some use too, otherwise it's like a doughnut with no jam in when you bit it!!!

ive only had my Azure 350z roadster for about 6 weeks and fell out with the large aerial already

had a quick check on eBay and found this, which i subsequently bought

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT

it came on Saturday and after a wash i decided to fit it, but the aerial doesnt fit flush to the black plastic and as soon as you remove your hand from screwing it on you lose reception/signal

ive emailed the bloke who i got it off and said hed send a replacement or give me my money back - but im reluctant to get another in case that doesnt work either - whats the chance id just been given a duff one and the next would be OK?

would anyone reccommend a similar aerial that would work (im thinking of a shop now as eBay seems to be full of junk!)?

another thought ive had is to cut the original one ive got down - would it work or just bugger it up!?

thanks - any advice or tips on which to get would be good

also after some number plates too, as the ones i have still have the garages names on them which is annoying me - doubtful of goin to eBay for em but its the cheapest place - wonder if halfords do any good ones?

thankyou

Dependant on shifts at work and the numbers goin, I'd be interested

Think there are a fair few local members on here

I'm in Eckington, just outside Chezzie, so not far for me

What about Karl in his temper orange, Chesterfield in his yellow GT4, me in the Azure, you in the Blade..... Anyone else?

anyone got pics so you can put me off!!?

im thinkin against it now

having had the Zed for only 2 weeks im already thinking of a mod

due to it being a roadster, i was thinking of changing the gearknob and leather suround into an Azure Blue so it stands out when we have the top down in the summer - this is what ive looked at so far: -

- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLUE-LEATHER-GEAR ... 4aa5f221d0

- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-350Z-02-08 ... 45ef51663b

anyone got any pics of their mods or others that are similar so i can get an idea of what it would look like?

im not good at DIY in any shape or form, how hard is it to get the leather surround bits in place? i think the gearknob is simply a twist and unscrew fitting, although not certain?

anyone think it would look a bit 'chavvy' with these mods from eBay? lads at work think im mad for contemplatin changing it!

look forward to opinions/views and pics would be greatly appreciated

thanks

hahaha, it was like a Zed roundabout this morning

nearly missed yours, but the colour is soooo nice i had to look twice - missed my spot pullin out

after seeing you last night i hid the keys from the mrs so i could take it this morning - just wish to roads were a bit clearer!

working 9-5:30pm next week so may not see you for a bit.......

Thanks for the flash back tonight mate, just wish I'd been in the Z!!

If I see you again I'll hopefully be in it

Be nice to see yours close up though too, see the little differences if we have time after work
