Car retained cats so should therefore be fine. Many thanks all

Hi all, if a 370z had an ecutek map applied when the car had stillen intakes and cat back exhaust but was then put back to OEM intakes and exhaust, would the remap need to be removed also? Would it run badly or over fuel etc if left in place? ta Michael

minor service every 4.5k miles :-(

Any pictures? Just the one below for the minute. As you know Andy, I was going for either a Supra, Evo or RX-7 and as this one came up and ticked all the boxes before any of the other two, I went for it. Had to go all the way to Blackpool for it. Not quite as long as your journey for the Zed but long enough..

Hey, Simon - yeah I doubt you'll ever see it in St Albans again but I still see your 370 occassionaly in the mornings. I'm now kicking about in a white Evo 5, so if you see one flash 'hi' at you, you'll know who it is :-)

Hi Andy, return of the car to the forum? It never left the forum lol :-) Anyway, good to meet you yesterday and I hope you have as much fun with the car as I did, it really is a good one. Cheers Michael

Yup, it has the Weldina Nismo plate! :-)

if you read the Newera Imports link I added above, you will find lots of info on the spec. It describes the wheels as '19" Andrew Premier Series Racing Evolution 5's' with a price of £3.5k (excluding tyres) :-)

It DOES look like the one that Neweraimports sold a while ago as a genuine F&F movie car, although that one was quoted at 430bhp. The turbo install looks very 'stealth' to me so could be missed at a quick glance under the bonnet. Link Below. http://www.neweraimports.com/soldcarDetails.jsp?carId=393

+ 1 that was my first impression too sorry , could be wrong though. interesting, did Nismo do another exhaust for the 350Z apart from the S Tune? Got another pic below in case that helps

it'll be 'flying ant day' soon (in the next few days probably, considering the weather we're having), so that'll be a messy day for us

just to tease you

I'm now getting offers from our friends across the Channel for my PistonHeads advertised 350Z. He offers £1500 less than the asking price saying that the cars not worth £5.5k plus he has to spend a lot to come over from France. What anyone has to pay to come and see the car isn't my concern, and how does he know what it's worth - he hasn't viewed it!! I suggested he didn't know what he was talking about and that there were other Zeds available nearer his budget and maybe one of those would suit him better, although they likely wouldn't be as good as mine. Not heard anything back from him, and I'm not bothered in the slightest :-)

I feel your pain. Mine has been on PistonHeads for a few days and I've been getting constant emails offering between 30-50% off my asking price. Oh, and they say they can pay in 'cash', as if that'll make me give it away lol. Not had the scammers yet but I'm sure I will soon enough

Agreed, seems too cheap. Bargain for someone!

I would like to see Chris Harris as one of the other two presenters. I think his youtube stuff is great, plus he does a bit of racing too. Very enthusiastic guy and I think his personality would work well against Evans' As for the potential third presenter, I hope its not an appointment based on BBC target meeting political correctness.

Yeah, saw that on Sky news too

to be fair, if a mechanic has already looked at it and been unable to spot a fault then its fairly unlikely that forum members will be able to accurately diagnose the problem just from your description of the problem. Best bet now I think, would be to take it to someone who specialises in these cars Good luck with getting it fixed soon, must be frustrating.

Lol, that didn't take long to come up :-) Yes, I'll be very happy to sell the Nismo exhaust. £5.5k and its yours (I'll throw the car in for that price too, cause I'm nice) (but seriously, no - I'll not be splitting anything off the car)

Not a problem, rules is rules and I fully understand the reasons for them.

Hmmmmm Was just about to put my advert up (well, I did but its gone for moderation) and I noticed that you need 100 posts before doing 'for sale' posts. As I'm only on the mid 30's it'll likely get rejected :-( Nevermind, I get free PistonHeads classifieds so I'll pop it on there this weekend. A bit of a shame as I wanted it to be on the forum for a few weeks before putting it on PH.

Keep each for another six months and earn an extra year's ncb...? Just a thought. The NCBs keep accumulating as it's just a vehicle change on the policy

Hmmm, More fun - TVR Chimaera 450, VX220 Quicker - Z3M Roadster Better to drive (very subjective) - Mark 1 MR2 (had 3 over the years) More fun, quicker and better to drive - Mark 1 MX5 turbo. Owned it twice and spent a lot of money on it. 245bhp from a 1.6 impresses. A lot.

Great way of getting rid of your money Pete thats one way of looking at it. Personally, I see it more as not falling foul of much depreciation (actually sold my Celica GT4 for more that I paid for it a month earlier) - plus theres the added benefit of enjoying different cars a few times each year. In an ideal world I would have a huge garage and unlimited funds :-)

the downside to changing cars so often is the hike the insurance guys put on for a change in policy, but what can you do eh? I've loved the 350Z. Its comfortable, fun to drive and has a reasonable turn of speed. Slower than some I've owned and faster than others. The noise is very good too, especially with the Nismo exhaust! I'd give it a solid 7 out of 10, purely from my own experiences and criteria.
