My local Nissan dealer (when they could be arsed to answer the phone) finally said that the process checks take 1-3 months and 2 months to order from factory !!! 5 months!!! And they want £84 for the plate and £45 to fit it!!!! www.vintagsuk.com will send one next day for £35 ....

The VIN Plate is missing and stamped number been tampered with .... however upon a bit of digging i found 2 pol exam sticker and have validated the history with the relevant police force that had examined it originally. They advised if the manufacturer cannot supply an OEM VIN Plate for an import then apply a commercially available plate.

None on eBay Nissan parts departments are looking into it. Apparently if it was a UK car they could do it but don't know about a Japanese import so are looking into it Anyoen got any other ideas as I need to get this sorted pronto.

Hello, The VIN plate on my firewall (i have a 52 plate Fairlady) had been altered when it was briefly stolen in 2007 (The last digit was changed). Does anyone know how I go about getting a replacement VIN plate to tidy loose ends up? Also is the VIN plate anywhere else apart from the firewall on a Japanese car? Thanks - Tim.

WOW!!!!!! Means my car is worth more that £1k more than yours Take the GTR plus that £1k quite happily LOL

Very close ...I had one of those moments when your tourettes gets the better of you really loudly for quite a while without reallising it ... then you turn round to see the rest of the office staring at you open mouthed

My Ford Galaxy costs £15 a year more to insure than my Z with all mods declared!!! very very wrong

During my trawling of the tinterweb at work today I stumbled across webuyanycar website and thought merely out of curiosity to see what they would value my car at (15,000 miles, nearly mint 52 plate import). Anyone had the same gob smacked reaction I had?

There are some cheap tyres I have never heard of on the front ... with loads of tread on them so not likely to replace them soon

Hello all, I am in dire need of new rear tyres before my MOT. I can get bridgestone re050a or dunlop sportmaxx at a reasonable fitted price and wanted opinions on which ones to go for??? Cheers

Hello, Are the wheels still for sale? If so how much? Ta - Tim.

Could save me on postage

Silver 350Z P30*** with Tarmac Sportz sticker spotted in my work car park in Ashby!!!!!!

a/ A Queen tribute band ... can't remember their name b/ Foo Fighters, Wasting Light.

Well first track that made an impression was "Swords of Ten Thousand Men" by Tenpole Tudor ... progressed on to "Stealin" by Uriah Heap (still one of my fave tracks ever) .... onto anything by Motorhead (love the early stuff) and then back to Hawkwind (Spirit of the Age will always be in my top 5 tracks) ... Creedence Clearwater Revival, Lynrd Skynrd, Bad Company, Zep .... Well you get the gist ... most modern I get is Metallica, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam ...

pm'd

It does say Y pipe back exhaust which is correct ... it is currently a standard y pipe with a Fujitsobo exhaust behind it

Finally worked out how to add the graph ... sort of

Followed a Yellow 370z (**59ZLS) along the A421 towards the A43 about 09:40 this morning ... looked very nice from behind

Big thanks to Jez @ Horsham Dev for fitting the Berks HFCs (belated thanks to Tarmac Sportz for a cracking late deal), Plenum Spacer and earthing kit today and topping it all off with a remap and Charlie @ Surrey Rolling Road as well. Despite doing everything they could 300bhp was just out of reach ... but happy with 297.5bhp for now. The real story is how different it drives ... so much smoother across the range and the power and torque available sooner and longer. And yes ... I did drive like a 17 year old through the Hatfield Tunnel on the way home

Well I do 30k+ miles per year for work, got 5 kids between 18 and 9 between me and my girlfriend so the daily and most weekend driver is a Ford Galaxy with roofbox and trailer when needed for camping, breaks etc... Bit like Ronseal ... does what it says very well .... However the Zed is for fun whenever is needed

I have seen them go for as low as £100 on ebay for a set of 4 with legal tyres .... I am currently looking for a set of standard alloys to get re finished for the right price

If it wasn't for the 400 mile round trip I would love this spoiler ... it is exactly what I am after!!! Would you be OK if I could arrange a courier to collect it???

Got a convertible door in red if that is any good?

What about the Fairlady? I have a 52 plate with Brembos and Bose from new? Cloth seats and no steering wheel controls ...
