Well, for a start the roadster is heavier than the coupe so there's one or two MPG down the drain. Next, the CD is considerably higher, it's 0.34 compared to the coupe at 0.30, at motorway speeds say 75 that's got to be at least another 2 MPG, maybe more? That obviously doesn't account for all the missing MPG but I know Caroline's roadster only gets an overall average of 21.1 (and I do around 50% of the driving in that car) compared to my coupe's 26.1.

Here are the rules and regs, as I read them as long as the fonts and sizes are right then you can have plates with two lines on them, I'd forgotten that at one time number plates could have 3 lines but this is no longer allowed for vehicles made after 1974. http://www.direct.gov.uk/prod_consum_dg/groups/dg_digitalassets/@dg/@en/@motor/documents/digitalasset/dg_067666.pdf Pete

Looking good Jonny .Liking those wheels! Pete

Interesting, I'm wondering if the roadster is setup like this as you can alarm the car even with the hood down on a windy day without it going off. Does go off though if you drop something into the car.. Pete

About 4:30 this afternoon on the A55 in Ewloe. Friendly chap, flashed me to pull in front of him as I came off the slip road then a wave as he undertook me on the next slip road along. Colour? GM or Blade, not sure as I was concentrating as traffic was really heavy . Pete

I'd treat is as a Cat D car, you pay 25% less, you get 25% less for it when you sell it. If you're only going to clock up 2-3k a year then I don't see a problem really. The only thing I would consider is how long before it was recovered, weeks, months? Also it sounds like a 50k plus car when it was new so possibly stolen to order by pro's who can break in and get them started with minimal damage. Pete

Deeside industrial estate? Not certain of accessibility rights, but there are plenty of old aircraft hangers, abandoned brick buildings plus the more modern industrial type buildings. Pete

Hope you have a great day . Pete

A JDM will have a VIN number that starts Z33 , UK and Euro Zed's have a VIN number that starts JN1 Pete

£347 for mine, £367 for Caroline's roadster (which includes 500 miles business use), £250 Excess, probably be a bit less but I have a CH postcode. Pete

Free to leave Wales though for some weird reason you have to pay to get back in again . Pete .

Remove the wheels and check the offsets, they'll be stamped inside the wheel. Some wheel manufacturers make the same wheels but with varying offsets (to suit different cars I guess). Pete

I understand that but last year I paid £480, Caroline £500. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has had a huge price hike insuring their roadster recently. Anyway, Sky have come up with a sub £400 quote Pete

Very nice Ian . Pete

275 at the front is possibly too much. I'm aware of the concept of stretching the tyres on the rims, but I always thought that you fitted a narrower tyre in order to squeeze it under the arches, surely a 275 tyre on a 9.75 inch rim is going to be bulging outwards, ie stretched in the wrong direction? Pete

Just had our multi car insurance renewal through. Difficult to understand why mine is £400, yet Caroline's is an eye watering £768. I know that roadsters are more expensive to insure , but almost twice as much? We both have zero points and more than 10 years NCB and do 3k a year. Pete

They usually pop out in the cold weather, not the heat . Have you tried switching your headlights on then operating the screenwash ? Pete

I saw a few Zed's in Las Vegas when the ambient temperatures was over 45 so I would imagine its a fan problem. Pete

Good job!! Or at least put the plate on square to the holder. Those screws holding the plate on are not the correct ones and are in the wrong position too . Pete

There was a 2006 facelift Sunset roadster for sale here in 2011. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/46011-2006-sunset-roadster-gt-42000/ Pete

Was just thinking the same thing... Interesting. Some research shows that Sunset was in fact still available in some markets until the HR came out in 2007. Here's one I found on a U.S site Looks like at least one sneaked through to The U.K market, maybe a one off order? Pete

What a day to own a roadster . Pete

Welcome . Pete

It's quite possible to kerb wheels on deepish potholes, I'm pretty sure that's where mine picked up a bit of kerb rash. Pete

You shouldn't have posted the photos as people will always express their opinion of them rather than answer the question . Yes, they'll fit with a 20mm adapter. Pete
