  1. Looking to refurb the wheels on my pearl white 370. Would like to see white wheels, Anthracite as per GT Edition or any other suggestions. Thanks.
  2. Hi gstraw don't panic its fixable, your biggest problem is it looks like your a long distance from me.
  3. Hi, If you take it to Infinity, ask for the runout on the discs to be measured with the wheels torqued on. Then ask them to measure the runout with the wheels off but the disc trapped on the hub with 5 nuts not 2 as is standard in dealerships. If the readings are very different the chances are you have an issue with the wheels. In this instance changing the discs alone or skimming will only alleviate the problem for 1500 to 2000 milles before it reappears. Try the Italian tune up as suggested, this can in some cases help, it will soon become obvious whether this is helping. If the judder becomes worse every time you do the tune up it ain't going to cure it.
  4. If you guys are right about 5% then that's better than paying twice a year currently which adds 10%, so yes its a no brainer.
  5. Be careful with faster payments, I recently had a company pay me in this way, saw the payment in my account etc. Only to discover 2 days later the payment had disappeared. Checked with the bank and it seams the payment is only secure if its still in your account at end of trading on the day. It is possible to be rescinded before this point. I am sure its a rare event but it can happen.
  6. My lowest quote for 2010 370 was £175 inc protected no claims somewhat cheaper than my 350. Insurance never seams to make sense to me I now have a car that is twice the value of my previous car and an extra 50 bhp and the premium is half the price it was. Was a very pleasant surprise.
  7. I have to agree with others, the manual is not great when in city traffic. My 370 is a weekend car for long drives to various race circuits and it fits the bill perfectly for me. If I was using as a commute in city a lot the auto would be better.
  8. Went last year and all those forced to park on the grass me included had to be towed out as the most cars sunk in the soft ground. With all the rain we have had recently I won't be going this year. Little hard standing to park on.
  9. Excuse me for butting in but the thing they all have in common is BMW styling, which to some me included does absolutely nowt to make me want one.
  10. Reviews are just one mans perspective without parting with his own hard earned. It doesn't matter what Chris Harris thinks of my car but it does matter what I think of my car. Go and drive a few and see if it suits you. The first 370 I drove was not enjoyable but after looking at and driving 5 cars I have bought one and have no regrets.
  11. I had a milltek and an induction kit on my 350, great sound under acceleration but no cabin drone when cruising. Check with traders on here for accurate price but around £950 if memory serves me right.
  12. Sipar69 if you decide to go with a whole new system in the future I would be very interested in your Nismo exhaust. Regards Marcus.
  13. When I was looking for a 350z I made the journey to these jokers, cars were all marked damaged etc. Wouldn't allow test drives until I had agreed a purchase. I visited the Peterborough showroom so might be different at there other site. Unless you are prepared for disappointment I would advise others not to visit. I looked at 14 cars private and dealers and this company were easily the worst before buying. Recently I have searched and found a 370 but never considered driving the 35 miles to see the 4 cars they had for sale.
  14. Milltek and induction fitted.
  15. Could be Mr Zoot, I sold my azure nismo to him. He is from nr Chelmsford.
  16. I would be interested in one of these. Where is he based.
  17. Purchased storm white today, when I work out how to post a picture. I will show.
  18. There are cat d cars around 12k. IMO connect premium models are of better value in the long term.
  19. Check runout on fitting with a dial gauge.
  20. That would suggest, the discs have pad pick up on them, in this case skimming would be a good option.
  21. Hi, Discs generally are not known to "warp" you will have an underlying problem which is causing the discs to developed DTV disc thickness variation. Skimming on its own will not give a long term solution to the judder you are experiencing.
  22. Thanks boys, that wobble for black has passed. White only then and preferably GT edition.
  23. There is a black for sale privately with 7000 miles on clock only used in dry weather etc, it has got me thinking.
  24. Just done some numbers research, 366 cars registered in 2011 of which storm white is rarest meaning I am probably looking at less than 20 cars available. Patience is a virtue may be tested to the limit.
  25. Forgot to add, manual version. I know it's a needle in a haystack request but if you don't look you won't find.
