180bhp!? Remind me to avoid THAT knowledgeable car sales

Stock every time.

Thanks. Amusingly, i did read that quickly first time and saw Dick Thickness Variation

...and DTV stands for?

Got a slightly warped front right rotor on mine due to rust through little use before i had it but was minimal enough to pass MOT without even an advisory. Only noticeable when stopping very hard from speed but doesnt effect actual stopping, just a faint noise.

Oil should be 5w 30 (not 10w 40 as dealer put in at my P3!). I just bought 5l of Millers XSS semi-synthetic from OPIE for a cracking deal. Tim does forum discount too

Tax on my 2007 56 plate 296 is £440 The smile on my face everytime i drive it is Expensive tax comes with the teritory im afraid.

Cargiant can be dodge imo. However a full hpi check would def be reccomended here. If comes back clear and car(s)? looks phsically good you've found a bargain

The rear arches being in the boot, without much lining, make every stone you catch with rear tyres sound like its going to break through the car and hit you in the head. Its not though, just sounds that way

Never buy a car without looking at it!

Does seem extremely cheap for an 08 313bhp?? Also will want to query the mileage as in the eBay ad it states 35835 but on cargiant website its saying 44619! Where have those 9,000 miles gone between ads Hang on.. its a different car on each link going on the reg..

Go for the GT, sounds like it will save a lot of future 'DIY' hassle

Haggle and you will potentially get a small amount (£500-£750) off those prices. You can use the 'i have cash and i can buy now but will walk if price not reduced a bit' tool. Dont forget to look on on Pistonheads Classified's too.. I paid 12.8k for a 2007 56 plate 296 UK GT in black with Altezan and 26k miles in Dec 10.

As above, but depends on the useage of your Zed. A lot of people on here have decats and love it but HFC's are a better option for a car that lives the majority of its life on the road. Will still sound much better.. not that its bad anyway

I live right down south (central) so give me a shout if theres anything down here and i could always go and look if it ticks all the boxes.

Look for the 1 or 2 air intakes.. as stated by others haggle on the price as it sounds like a 296.

Looks good. Welcome to the club!

Hey Zugara. Do you reckon it had something to do with Nissan putting the wrong oil in of 10w 50 at your P3?? They really can be rubbish! Martins at Winchester did my P3 last Jan and put in 10w 40 even though it should be 5w 30 according to the owners manual and also Tim at OPIE.. Just ordered 5l of Millers XSS 5w 30 from OPIE on a cracking deal, as thought it was low but rubbish dipstick was telling me lies and its actually still on H after 7 months, so will just keep it ready for next service Are you local to down this Soton/Winch neck of the woods then? Stroudy..

And dont forget Nationwide (Halfords) Autocentres do half price MOT's for next time

Find a road where a local councillor lives and drive down that it'll be smooth as silk Also.. STOP CHIPPING PERFECTLY GOOD ROADS EVERY YEAR AND SPEND THE MONEY ON RESURFACING RUBBISH ROADS PROPERLY IN THE FIRST PLACE Drove 3k miles accross Canada in 07 and again in 08 and came accross virtually no potholes. The problem with our roads is that they are mostly laid on ye olde cart tracks..

Im not sure how you get rid of the light, dont know if you can. Total decat will make it sound a hell of a lot louder but you'll need a remap to get a noticeable power gain out of it.

40 acres of fields at your workshop Mark? Im a Forester, you want to apply for a government grant and get it planted up with native broadleaf trees for a tidy little pension fund, all pretty much for nothing

Yep your CEL light will illuminate on the dash.

Since you are clearly too lazy to look in the "guides" section of the forum, I did it for you. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=23262 It was just a typo in your original post see.. you edited it and i can now see it was meant to say 'oven' Thanks Lexx.. will have a crack at that i think
