true, but where i live is all little roads until you get out onto the main roads, and i had a bump last year at < 5mph due to snow, and im a little worried now I have a zed lol.

If it gives you a little grip then i'm thinking it may be worth it if its only to just get out of the smaller roads and onto the mains..

would you need these on the front and back wheels, or just the rears?

Anyone got one?

Spoke to Sarah, she can't get them/or hasnt got any, she told me to pm R35 lee, who ive pm'd with no response..

Cheers

whats the chances of doing this, and the keyfob losing sync for both? so that none work, need to give this a try, but worried if i mess it up somehow I'll get stuck with 2 dud keyfobs and be stranded on my drive lol

back to the top, anyone got one, or if not a part number and ill get one from nissan?

Hi there.

My keyfob was working fine at about 11pm on the monday night, tuesday morning it didn't. Used my spare key and drove to work then at lunch time i went to nissan. They took my key from me, and changed the battery, at a charge of £8ish. It still didn't work, so the chap came out, tried it, confirmed it didnt work, went back inside, did some stuff and tried again, said it still wouldnt work. He then said he'd take it round the back to sort it, but i'd ran out of time and had to be in a meeting.

Took it back today, told them what happened, spoke to the same chap, and he said I will have to pay the £86 charge to recode it. I said "so every time my battery runs out in my keyfob i need to pay £86", he said not every time, sometimes if you don't change it quick enough then that happens. I said, well you(at nissan) changed it for me, i didnt ask you to, you took the key off me, and never once said this could happen..

I've said i'll speak to the manager on Monday, as i'm not impressed. Anyone else had this problem, or is it fixable any other way than paying £86?

Cheers

Anyone got any ideas please?

It appears firmly stuck..

Here's some pics

I've tried to upload these pics a few times and it keeps failing, so this is a link to the folder(4 images on there).

Thanks for the help

cheers for the reply,

what i mean is though, the whole handle is now totally seperate from the door car, the bottom part is in tack, and it came out with the handle, the top part of the handle appears to be left in the door card, get me?

Hi there.

I just pulled my door shut using the interior passenger side door handle, and it snapped.

The bottom of the handle is in tact, the top half is still stuck in the door. Any tips on getting this bit of plastic out, i tried pliers squezing the two sides together yet it didnt work, and was wondering if there was a screw or something else stopping it working?

Cheers

Just snapped mine, not impressed, how flimsy are they lol.

Anyone got one for sale please?

not the same issue, but similar, i pushed the button on the dash to open my petrol cap and pushed the button in... :S

If i cant get this back out, how else can you open the petrol cap? or can't you?

Hi Guys,

I know this is a common problem, seen the FAQ, and the following info:

"

Rear axle clicking noise. Sounds like something left underneath. Usually does it when shifting from reverse to forward or initial load when moving off. This is caused by the driveshafts. Due to the work involved make sure the price reflects this if the car is not covered under warranty. You can read the bulletin at http://www350z-tech.com/zwiki/service:t ... _Rear_Axle

Gearchange can get a bit notchy in 4th and 6th if thrashed or neglected.

"

I cant get the link to work, anyone else got a link?

My car is covered by warranty, didnt hear the noise on test, but hear it again now and again... whats actually involved in sorting this problem out, and how much is the cost likely to be?

As mentioned, under warranty, but interested nethertheless.

Thanks

Thanks for the comments guys, still smiling from ear to ear!!

Finally picked up my zed! Cant stop smiling WOOT!!

Anyway, pics below, will get my own taken ASAP!!!

Nice one, what have you got.

its a 2004 gt, in blade silver, but all will become clear as i can guarantee, once its back home I will be taking numerous pictures

Thanks again for all the help and advice in choosing one!

Well guys, ive put a deposit down on a zed, hopefully getting the weekend :) :) Cannot wait!!

i've made my mind up, so the search begins

I've just seen something about up-rev, whats this to do with, and should it make any difference whilst i'm looking for a zed? is it just the company and ecu software or something else?

Cheers

Thanks for more useful information, every little helps

Regarding the 3rd party warranty, im assuming you can only do that on new cars, or some cars purchased from dealerships?

Often wondered if you can take out a warranty somehow on any car, at any point?

I think my mind is pretty much made up, I used to go through 3 sets a tyres a year in my coupe as it would just eat the rubber and there were never ending costs..

regarding that £1200 work, whats that for if you don't mind me asking?

Also, say I buy/can find an unmodded totally standard Zed, are there a few certain things that should be done first (theres always a few little tweaks here and there).. obviously i wont be able to spend thousands on it straight away, but is there any mods that improve *anything* and don't break the bank? (i've been trying to spot common problems, improvements but haven't come up with many).

just had a quick look on pistonheads and for a silver gt, the only ones that arent sold and have rays alloys, lists that one as the cheapest lol.

I can keep looking though, no rush

ive seen a few nice models for sale actually, for similar prices, the thing that drew me to this one was, its from a garage so in theory theres more comeback, it had the full rac inspection which you can probably get anyway? and full service history.

I don't want to waste money for the sake of it, so If i can find a private car with similar attributes then i'd go for that

Mine's costing around £600 per month, including petrol/insurance/loan and averaging out annual tax/services/consumable costs.

 

Personally I'd rather condition myself to the expense now in preparation for even pricier cars in the future!!

 

If 2004 models with mileage like the PH link are still going for that price, I don't need to worry about depreciation for a while either!!

Do you think that the price is too high for that then?

I've been looking for a few weeks now and pricing are ranging, ideally I want less than 60k Miles..

Thanks again for the help, ive tried to estimate, and have worked out is going to cost roughly £70 of petrol additional a month, but I should be fine, going to do a few more checks etc and then the search will begin.

Any comments on this car? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1734081.htm
