  2. Q. What is the difference between a "normal" car and the GT and the GT4? A. (Don't have the knowledge to answer this one!)
  3. Q. How much is it to TAX a 350Z? A. Before 2006, it is £245, After and including 2006, it is £435. (Prices good at date of posting)
  4. Q. Why does is my BOSE headunit skipping? A. Short answer ... they just do. Get it replaced.
  5. Q.What is the high pitch whine coming from behind me? Sounds like a stereo being on, but with no sound? A.Could be one of two things.. 1. The fuel pump is fitted behind you. It could be that. 2. The amps for the stereo are also behind you and are on all the time. Even when the stereo is not on. N.B. A Tonneau cover can help with both of these issues. Q. My headlight washers don't work, any tips? A. Make sure your washer bottle is filled ALL THE WAY UP. Your windscreen washers can work with a low washer bottle level, but your headlight washers may not.
  6. SHITE... I didn't know he was a member! He was a good friend of my sister and brother-in-law. I only met him a few times, didn't even know he has a Zed. Seemed like a top bloke every time I met him. Sad, sad loss.
  7. Got a phone call from my sister last night, one of her friends and a friend just died.... I met him a few times. Decent bloke. No idea what his driving was like. But it shows you need to always take car in these things... Or does it just show you always need to take car in ALL cars....? http://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/ne ... ticle.html Sorry Ian and Hayley. RIP.
  8. Just seen one at my Nissan Dealers... I thought they looked awful on the adverts... but in the flesh? OMG... SO AWFUL! The front light clusters look like they were too big, they put them in anyway, then slammed the bonnet down! They stick out and look terrible. Sorry, not my cup o' char
  9. +1 that Japan is great. I had a 10 hour lay-over there when I was on my way to NZ for work. Managed to get into Tokyo, very very cool. Would love to go back for a proper trip!
  10. Only done 5 miles back from the tyre place... but she feels COMPLETELY different. SO SO much more stable, sitting well, steering wheel is STRAIGHT.... not 5 degree out! How can you NOT notice that when you have new alloys or spacers on? Like the car I always wanted her to be... just have to let the tyres bed in.... then I might get back up to the Horseshoe pass!
  11. Top advice Daz... Even so, as the owner... How can you NOT notice the steering wheel being 5 degrees out? When Andrew took it out in Wales (What is his name on here?) he noticed it within 20 seconds, if that... HOW can you have new alloys or spacers and NOT notice it?
  12. Turns out my paintwork IS all GM Stuck a replacment Z badge on this morning, as there was a missing one when I bought her... Other additions... some new rear tyres, as the ones I had on were totally the WRONG size... Allows are still wrong, but this should make them better... TRACKING!!! Spent £45 to get here tracked.... the rears were out SIX mil!!! 6mm!!!! HOW can you have new alloys/Tyres on your motor and NOT notice such an alteration? I mean the steering wheel was 5 degrees out!!!
  13. Got your attention Spent £350 for a pair of vredestein ultrac sessanta's.... £45 to get her tracked. Turns out the reason I was so unhappy with the handling was because the rear wheels were 6mm ... yup, that's right SIX mil out! Only had a quick drive back from the tyre place... but she feels SO SO much more stable. Like the car I wanted her to be all along. How can people DO this kind of thing to their cars and NOT notice it? Still gotta do 400 odd miles till the tyres bed in but I am still really chuffed with the way they feel all ready. Thanks guys for all the help!
  14. Which means.....? They WILL be slick/slippery for the first few hundred miles?
  15. Yeah, they felt awful, really slippy on the way back from the tire place. They are the Vredestien Ultrac-Sessanta's.... So I need to take it easy for 500 miles ish? ..... Will do! Cheers guys.
  16. OK, So after lots and lots of help from you all, I finally have some good tires on my back wheels! So, how do I bed them in? Do I need to drive gently for a couple of hundred miles? Do a 40-50 second burn out? What do I have to do? Cheers peeps!
  17. Such a shame... as BOSE are a quality outfit... I have BOSE cubes and they are great! An amazing sound. Such a shame I will give Lee a shout, cheers guys!
  18. John, you are going to have to start charging me for all this advice you know!
  19. Just thought it would LOOK stock then. I prefer to minimal/original look
  20. My BOSE head unit won't play CD's unless I am stopped Does anyone have one laying around after replacing it that might work better than the one I have?
  21. Where are they after 06 bud? Kind of removes the point of having them.... Ouch, that has to hurt Pretty sure I have short arms... Im not the tallest guy in the world, borderline short! Just heard the tires are in the country, DPD say they turned up in Stoke last night, so they might be hear today! YAY! Cheers for not scaring Tam TOO much when she thought me and the Zed had been kidnapped by the super friendly Andrew (What is his username?) Will be better prepared and stay longer next time..... Yeah, thought about that. not too fussed about the passenger side, I mean if I turn theirs on, it doesn't effect me! So I could move just mine to next to the TCS button... ? Might pop to Nissan and ask them for prices. They seem to be quite reasonable to be honest! That is an good idea... But knowing me my hand would knock them! Thinking about this, really hard like What if I had an "override" switch in the glove box? So if if it was off, then the switched just wouldn't work at all. That way it wouldn't matter if I flicked the switches by accident. Then if I wanted them on, I would just flick the "override" switch in the glove box to on... and the switches would work as per normal... Would that work?
  22. Anyone moved their heated seat switches? I keep driving down the road thinking I have pi**ed myself due to my elbow turning on the heated seat switch a few miles before! What kind of crazy puts the switch right under your elbow! Anyone worked on this at all?
  23. Looking good! Here are a few snaps Tam took. If anyone wants their number plate blurred out, just let me know.
