  1. Saw this, wished it was an actual review than them ...wrecking a couple of Zeds haha
  2. Checking periodically ... theres a bloody big brace across it, I wouldn't be removing it to ..have a bit of a check I wanna stick these ones in and not look at them again until 140+K miles lol
  3. There will be no changing myself lol I just need somewhere to get them from that's cheaper that's all. Infiniti are not charging me north of £100 for the plug replacement Def want the best ones that will last longer, these ones have lasted to 70K and tbh prob have plenty life left but they've struggled 3 times on some cold morning so while I have spare cash I don't mind doing them. For the sake of even £20 odd saving or something I'd just get Infiniti to supply them. Just wanted to see if others had found cheaper iridium ones. And yes the threads a bit all over the place lol
  4. So called up Infiniti Glasgow to check the pricing for my P3 and I've decided to do the sparks since its struggled 3 times in the cold so far so might aswell. Pricing for P3 fine but the spark plugs are £18 per plug from them and they kindly as always advise to check elsewhere too, which I will. So who can give me the best price or direct me to somewhere that has them and aren't cheap knock off rubbish lol. 58' plate HR model (whether these are different from DE's I don't know). Cheers much!
  5. And you've just posted that while I was typing I think..... Now seeing that pic n more info... Avoid lol
  6. Reasonably restrained driving... Besides the clutch stuffing get away perhaps lol. I would expect them to give it a bit to test stuff make sure no rattles etc but this depends what it was in for.... What was the reason for the visit?
  7. A 'nick that camera before hes back' moment if ever I saw one lol
  8. Both are fine... Tescos cheaper...so thats what I use lol
  9. Passing the test while using a Z clutch... Well done mate! Congrats! I don't think I'd have passed in a Z.. Mines was a Ford Fusion box...mmmm lol
  10. Yep, I had ice on the outside so usually for my car that means lots of condensation front and especially the rear window... nothing... all windows bone dry this morning. Brilliant buy!
  11. I'd hate to have a DE... my clutch isnt what I'd call overly heavy its the in out in out slow traffic that makes it akward. If I had an older model though I'd sure as hell hate the weight..from what I can remember (when looking to buy one) the 276's clutchs were horrifically heavy Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  12. If its an HR you have it could just be the 'jerk'lol won't always do it if you lift off but it is one of the scenarios...usually when slow moving Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  13. Stuck one in the passenger footwell and one on top of the ledge on the speaker set up behind the seats. Windows were already steamy so lets see what were like in the morning Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  14. Hope these bad boys work! Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  15. Not driven a huge amount but the fastest auto/paddle configuration was the 4.2 XKR I spoke of and the first time I moved, I forget that the little creep at the start gives a bit of a helping hand and this mixed with the power... I nearly shot into the car in front of me at the lights haha
  16. Yeah, it seems to be the future. Plus from the flappy paddle and auto's I've had as courtesy cars from Infiniti (some are damn fast!) I've taken a liking to them. I used to think no...manual all the way but in reality....its different. Would love to have the funds to have the manual Z and something else for normal use but the 350 will be with me for a while yet it seems - Not a bad thing! ..but I'll just need to put up with the 'niggles' haha. Your right with the autos not being much different in gear... I've chased someone I know in their XKR (also driven it) and the Z did well but theres no denying the power of 420bhp in a straight line no matter what gearbox is used ....ps. can't wait til' it snows...always a good laugh to phone work "er.. I'm stuck on the hill trying to get out my town, might be a bit late...or i'll be heading back and getting a train" pml I really need winter tyres
  17. I'm aiming at some point to make its replacement a 4.2 XKR (2008 onwards), but possibly by the time I can I might be looking at earlier 5.0's. I came close to purchasing one (4.2) few months back and have looked at others but my financial status has changed (money went else where ...skint lol). As said when mentioned in a previous thread they have paddles but are effectively slush boxes with an form of 'manual' control but I've driven them and they still shift! Make you feel special too...which should be one of the priorities if your into cars Ultimately they won't jerk... that much (I've heard they can but certainly gonna be better than using a Z clutch!)
  18. It's a great thing the 350Z, reasonably pacey, a nice dollop of torque and a generally decent place to be, love how - in gear - it can just surge forward without much effort, fantastic. However... when your stuck in traffic, on a hill and constantly 'in and out' of the clutch and then without even touching the pedals the HR decides to start its jerking and you try and get it to stop by being 'gentle', smoothing out any inputs but you still need to move forward with traffic and its not helping the process.... It does make life a bit more er.. annoying, as you 'hop' up the hill like a drunk kangaroo. Arrgh, over three years and I still can't tell you a decent way of dealing with it lol (short of uprevving/remapping it). I love the notchy gear box for driving but in day to day go to work scenarios, this cars the reason I'd consider a high power auto/flappy paddle effort. I must still like it, its about to get a P3 and sparks lol Bloody thing....
  19. Who doesn't own a microwave?!
  20. Anybody got an ebay link t these magic little bags? I could be doing with two! Even if you step out for a bit ..air con or not It steams up again EDIT - just seen the asda bit lol
  21. That thing looks fantastic and I'm not even that fussed about the old Z's lol
  22. I've just done a double take and read this threads title.... despite already having posted in it! I must have read Merc and just went 'default' in my mind. An SLK!? Were thy planning on getting a winters breeze during a persuit? Off all the things...a small convertible tin top. Or was it meant to be CLK?
  23. AMT

  24. Even though it'll likely be raining and snowing next week...again... I just cannot look at a grit, salt and dirt covered car lol No special treatment either it'll be out all winter attempting to get me to work haha Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
