sweet...

Didn't know you could get them in that colour.

I hear something similar to what you've described but, the only time i hear the grinding noise is if I've finished washing the car and left it to dry, the disks get this very superficial rusty layer. When i drive away for the first time and brake they grind but this quickly goes away. My old car (golf) did exactly the same thing so i don't think it's anything to worry about.

The other times are when it's raining and it's been standing around for a a few hours, again the disks get an orange superficial rusty surface and the grinding noise goes away after I've applied the brakes for the first time.

You could have a quick look to see if the disks are rusty looking cause that could be the cause. Failing that I don't know...

thats brave of you. Hope you don't get any problems with it.

Did you get it in writing that you can return the car if it's got problems they haven't told you about?

looks like a cracking deal. where about's in Wiltshire are you?

I was given a 1 year (up to 100000 mile) extended warranty when i bought my Z. It's a proper nissan manufacturers warranty not the aftermarket type. I'm told that it covers me for exactly what is covered under the original 3 year warranty. All the paperwork should be from nissan and it comes with a nissan warranty booklet.

I think it's worth having as it gives you some piece of mind.

yes, they are crappy

 

 

 

 

only the photo's, I expect it's safer in some respects, but with the angle of the LED's to the left or right isn't that bad for traffic on either sides and are they road legal?

i only have esp button on 06 facelift

I start with blasting with a pressure washer before the shampoo, start from the roof and work my way round the car gradually going down if that makes sense. I always do the wheels last and use the same car shampoo bucket, I never use wheel cleaning spays.

 

I never "blast" a dry car with the pressure washer, any loose dirt or sand will potenially cause swirls.

 

Snowfoam a dry car > Blasting a dry car

Can't say I've had the swirling issue with any car I've owned. Lucky I love and have always owned Silver cars I guess

Can you send me the details of the BnB please?

Does anyone fancy a night out on the Saturday?

Yup, with you there, I always use one bucket and rinse the sponge.

I then give it a wipe down to dry it, clean all the windows inside and out with window spay and finish up by polishing. once the polish has dried and i've buffed it off I always give the windows a quick buff with the same cloth (the cloth with dried on polish). I find that once it rains the water runs straight off the glass. Make sure you don't get any wet polish on the windows as this can go hazy when wet making it very difficult to see out.

nice

Few pics. Tay joins us but opts out of the track stuff. Very wise eh Jay??

 

Mystery guest didn't even bring his Z. Wonder who that could be all you South West folk.

 

 

I'm not even sure he owns a Z

you know who he is then?

I've never had a new screen fitted but am pretty sure that all their work should come with a guarantee of some description. It looks terrible and i'm sure that trading standards would have something to say if they argue.

Spot the difference!

 

if it was a TT i'd agree with you...

WTF!

I thought exactly the same thing.

In the last picture, why does my bonnet look elongated?

 

Wide-angle lens distortion.

 

Corrected in Photoshop CS3:

 

 

 

Wasn't complaining. it looks pretty good with an elongated bonnet

 

Bad luck.

 

hehe, now thats just wrong.

Twitchy on new tyres so settled for 145 on the way home.......

 

Giggled more on the test drive, chucking the arse out on Marsh Barton trading estate roundabouts than a whole year of owning a Civic Type R.

 

Shouldda stuck with the origional plan.........

 

 

Right who's up fer a bla st tomorrow ?

sweet

looks very good on a blue car. I've got a silver one and can't see it looking that good.

passing by checking eachothers Z's out !

nice veilside v1 kit.

Did you wave?

 

No the rear badge is still Nissan at the moment, I'm considering a TK badge!

 

 

 

Whats a TK badge?

 

...

Does it look good on the car?

I like the Nissan style ones with the Z logo and square indents best.

i think you've been paying too much in recent years.

I was told it's post 2006 that costs 400 smackers. I've just bought a years tax at £435. painful
