What you have to bear in mind is that the bonnets are put on by human beings who will have an allocated time to fit them. In any case I just checked Caroline's car and to my surprise the gap on the nearside is pretty much the same as the one in the photo you posted earlier in the thread. On that basis I'd say its perfectly normal Pete

Fully legal in The U.K . They do look great on American Cars as their number plates are far more interesting than the boring ones we have here and not being yellow helps too . In the U.K though I prefer our rectangular plates. I would imagine they can be sourced over here, one of the reasons why imports cost more to insure and yes they fit directly. Some aftermarket bumpers come with a square recess like for example the Chargespeed bumper. Pete

The sensible way to alternate would be to fill up with 95RON when it had half a tank of 98RON already in it (and vice versa), keep the RON around 96.5 that way. To run it to empty between alternations would be pointless really. Pete

Growing up I was into American Cars with huge fins on the back . Pete

Looked at a load of photos of 313's from various meetings I've attended. There is a very slight tendency for the gap to be bigger on the nearside, but not as noticeable as the one in those photos. Caroline's roadster has a slightly bigger gap and that has definitely not been in a bump. I had a bulge bonnet fitted to my 55 reg coupe and it took the bodyshop quite a while to get it lined up properly. Pete

Depends how he's driven it really. I've probably put about 10-20% 95RON in over the years, the local garage doesn't always have 98RON and I don't lose any sleep over it but then again I don't often go over 4k revs Pete

Yeah 3-0 last time I looked, just a few days too late sadly Pete

I'm not sure. Some years ago my wife dealt with collecting the driver awareness course fees and 90% of them were for just exceeding the 30 or 40 limit. Just recently my ex wife was caught doing 60 in a 50 limit and was not offered the course. This may vary from region to region and bear in mind that North Wales police are usually more progressive in the way they deal with speeding. The driver awareness course is in general to illustrate what can happen if you hit a pedestrian in a 30 zone. My understanding is that there will be at some stage be a compulsory course for those outside of the current awareness speed limits and that these courses will be considerably more expensive too.

Double post, please remove. Pete

Very true actually. Pete

Interlagos Fire ....sadly never available in The U.K Pete

They look good in any colour but I've voted for Blue Pete

I don't think there are many hairdressers who could afford to run a 350Z . Sure, there are plenty of women who drive them but the ones I've spoken to are all like middle management types! Pete

I shave in the bath with a 3 blade Gillette thingy and use shampoo .I haven't cut myself for the 20+ years I've used this method. I used my dad's electric razor once or twice about 45 years ago but hated the way it ripped out what was at the time my bum fluff Pete

Thank goodness you are O.K . Pete

25mm on the front will on occasions lightly rub, for example going over a speed bump at anything over 15mph and you'll get some rubbing on very rough or potholed roads. I've got 20mm spacers on mine but the offset on the wheels I've got mean they are equivalent to 25mm. 25mm on the back is fine though. Pete

Probably worth 4.8k max according to some of the posts I've found on various sites. Pete

Congrats Pete

Also, Check that the radiator fan hasn't failed. In the sort of heat you have over there and at that kind of speed it'll need be working flat out Pete

I have to agree, I watched the replays last night, not 100% conclusive but it didn't look to be a goal. On the plus side at least we gave them a decent game in the last 30 minutes, shocking for the first hour of the game though Pete

At Wembley yesterday with my daughter. Pete

Nar , im sure if you google you`ll see a picture of it. The actual whole middle part of the seat on the roadsters is made of like a fishnet sort of material - non leather. You cant really see it in the pic of mine below, but the black area is the fishnet stuff.. This must be a feature of the orange seats. I just took a look at Caroline's black seats and they are all leather, in fact they look identical to the seats in my coupe. Pete

Yes, very nice colour and even non Nismo midnights are very rare. Pete

As you've said, the Nismo never went on sale in this country although it was Nissans original intention to sell them here, maybe it was the high price tag, 50k plus. Nissan brought one car into the country and this was road tested by a number of magazines. What happened to it after that...I've no idea I'm not sure if any were imported into the country directly from the JDM market, I've never seen or heard of one in The U.K. Of course, they were very limited even in Japan, only a couple of hundred were made. http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evocarr ... _350z.html Pete

This'll be my 3rd one, the others being 1971 and 1974 Pete
