  1. Welcome to the world of suspension arm replacements. My cars a veteran at this lol
  2. I cant remember all the traders Doogy lol recieved pm's and very happy with a price
  3. Had a white Ibiza FR whatever there called up my back side yesterday. Was sitting behind it with plenty of space, it moved to the left, I accelerated forward next thing I know its right behind me and I can't see its bloody headlights its that close, whats the point? I just was overtaking its not an invitation lol.. Then it sat on my corner even when I was moving over for it...arrgh. Your always gonna get them... I do find it more so with modified Jap stuff however rather than VXR's, other hot hatches...mind you the Seat must have been feeling 'playful'....
  4. Ok, so I've replaced in the past the straight arms (used from Alex, cheers again! still goin strong after its recent service check) and I've had the drivers one replaced as a new part. The passenger sides rattling away and I'll be having it done at some point soonish, its the balljoint that's the issue rather than the bush part but can anyone PM me with prices for them? Just to see if its worth lookin' to supply myself cheaer or just get Infiniti to source it. Can't mind exactly I'm sure they said the part itself was £200+ odds from Nissan. Thanks if you can help guys!
  5. Not so sure it should be sitting just below the 16V, but some more experience folk on here will hopefully let you know but it generally should be 14V or fairly near it I'm pretty sure.
  6. psi to roughly check should be 60 at 60mph and as for the battery voltage, it'll sit at 14 when driving about with all the other electric stuff on. What do you mean near the top, what figure is it sitting at?
  7. Couldn't find it at first as its a 370 thread! ... lol I'm not so sure on some of these described points though. I'll have a check tomorrow.
  8. Ok so having a crack at the front pads tomorrow but where as it would go to my mates ramp and use him lol its a trolley jack and axle stands this time. Anyone tell me (with pics if possible) where I should use the trolley jack and where the axle stand should go also. One side getting raised at a time. Its for the front , but if you've got the back I'll take that info too lol Cheers!

    350Z floor mats

    They look good! but maybe not in orange lol...
  10. Pics are slightly tarted up obviously but it was indeed a nice day.
  11. Gutted, nothing but bad news from this company all over the place. They do seem good when you see the pics etc but obviously that's not the case. Hopefully potential Z buyers on here get sight of this and AVOID as they do always seem to stock a lot of Z's.
  12. Autotrader, from a Lotus dealership in Newcastle (silverlink). My mate sent me the link at work and I was huming and hawing between a 276 with higher mileages and more of the common faults or a new one but the price was higher, couldn't get a comfy middle ground, so after persuading from said mate, I went fck it, called them on the Thurs/Fri, made arrangements, went down early to Newcastle that Saturday...came back up with a 58' HR with just under 16K lol
  13. Too quick round blind corners... if your gonna drive for a bit of fun make sure you keep check on your speed on the bits of road your approaching
  14. Fantastic looking thing and you picked one of the best colours! (wheels could be bigger lol). Everytime I see one I think....what a damn good lookin' car. Much better than 3 series by a mile.
  15. My Zeds been a dream except for the common faults on the suspension arms, bushes, ball joints...of which I got ALL on EVERY arm lol ...One's rattling right now but I'll replace it when it gets a bit worse, its just play in the ball joint lol That and the nails that love to 'hug' my tyres from time to time.
  16. I still prefer in gear straight line to track lol... unless it wasn't my car of course, I'd happily thrash anothers round a track Didn't think a Fabia could do a low 14 mind you. The very first time I went up to Crail that was the first car I raced and I blew it away, mind you its a quicker time lol. They should have a vmax runway events somewhere in Scotland so you can do rolling starts like that GTboard I keep gettin 'you might likes' on youtube for. Now that looks good! I might go back up to one of the Crail thrash n' dashes on a dry day for laugh, there usually quieter arn't they Kris/Steve?
  17. I've never took my car to track besides 1/4 mile drag (and never will) so I am one of the ones who find it more satisfying to pull away in a straight line lol I like straight line pace then handling. Meh, but again I'm more of a GT car type than out and out track/sports car. I want good looks, reasonable handling but lots of in gear shove
  18. Don't scare folk off Kris! lol Not a few, just the ONE, just the one! haha 5th gear will see you still take off into the distance at motorway speeds.
  19. 6th Gear in my HR isn't the best either but tbh it is your top gear so it won't pull like a Ferrari lol Having said that at around 3000rpm in 5th the Z still pulls hard (and still giving you that shunt in the back if the pedals stabbed at) leaving most stuff behind. I'm guessing the 370 would also....
  20. Police.... driving Zeds...however do they keep below the 'limit' ... lol
  21. Well you gotta remember its a kinda concept car so production won't be as 'bulbous'. Annnnd Irfan just looked at the link and my god what the hells that lol I want sleek, stylish, powerful looking in 'my' Aston... that's just an Aston who ate too many pies. The ugly Aston sister they keep in the cupboard lol
  22. Aston Martin need to get their finger out and start making some new GT's. The 'look like the DB9' design is getting old lol
  23. Data Analyst/Auditor... wait for it.... in a call centre lol Basically a lot of listening, a lot of fact finding, a lot of figures and a lot of charts/graphs and hopefully some improvement lol ....I need a new job, I shoulda' stuck with product design from college lol
