I think you need to put a current pic up mate looks more colourful!

I will check out the breakers on my travels this week mate

Does a drivers door fit in a 350 boot? Anybody tried?

I cant stand having it on these days, when you get used to having it turned off there is nothing worse when you turn it on

If your not confident tho i would recommend leaving it well alone especially at this time of year

Another thumbs up for the conti 3's from me, I ran them on my 123d coupe for 10k before i sold it and they are by far the best tyre i have had on a car.

They even impressed on several laps of the ring in crazy heat. I have over 10 years racing experience so i'm very picky with tyres

I agree with them looking like they have been done on an SLS machine, material looks like Duraform PA built at .15mm layer thickness, build orientation was not ideal for the shape of the part by the look of it.

The material should be fine for a key casing, as long as it has surface protection like paint or lacquer, (rtbiscuit's carbon dipping would be cool too!) as this material will get dirty easily and absorb moisture.

If any body wants info on Rapid prototyping / layer manufacturing let me know

Cheers Alex, i will drop you a PM shopping list tomorrow,

I would do the oil and filter myself but no driveway or garage makes it awkward!

Evening all , i wonder if anybody could advise on what level of service my car needs?

I purchased my 2004 plate Z mid september last year and it had only covered 33K, it did not have full service history but after weighing up what it did have i happily bought the car knowing that it had more services than most other cars i have owned due to the mileage, service history as follows;

January 2004 : car registered.

January 2005 : 3095 miles : P1 Service at Wilsons nissan Epson, stamp in book,

January 2006 : 5701 miles : P2 Service at Wilsons nissan Epson, stamp in book,

January 2007 : Service missed or no info

January 2008 : 16500 miles : P2 service at Wilsons nissan Epson, engine oil and brake fluid, stamp in book and receipt

January 2009 : Service missed or no info

January 2010 : 26000 miles : P3 service at Wilsons nissan Epsom, gearbox & engine oil, air filter. stamp in book and receipt

August 2011 : full vehicle safety check and inspection before i purchased the car from a performance car specialist. (Probably worth nothing really!)

I want to give my car a service and was thinking of getting oil / filter and brake fluid doing at a garage then doing plugs, air filter, brake pads and maybe the auxilary belts in the summer myself, can anybody else recommend anything else i should consider or is that enough?

Cheers,

Shawn

Howdy and welcome

 

Im currently looking for a Zed myself... do you mind if I cheekily ask how much you paid for your new pride and joy (you can even PM me and I will take the secret to my grave )

 

Just might give me a better idea of the sorta car I might get for my hard earned cash

 

Cheers

PM'd fella

Thanks again for all the welcomes

I have a supurb guy in milton keynes who changed my 22" rims without a scratch and didnt break a sweat. He has been doing it for the past 15 years.

 

Even better is that he charges £10 a wheel, which includes changed and balanced.

May i ask who you use? I have not long moved to MK and will be needing a tyre man in the near future

Sorry to dig an old thread up but was searching for front mats and boot mat and found this! do you have a 350 boot mat left?

Cheers, Shawn

Hi everybody,

I'm Shawn, just purchased myself an azure 2004 GT with 34k on the clock in august,

I have been a member since april when i started looking for a proper car after having a diesel corsa for 10 months! as i had a big commute before i moved next to work in milton keynes.

Thoroughly enjoying finding all about my new toy on this forum and thankyou all for giving me lots of ideas! completed the ipod hack this afternoon and i'm sure it will be the first of many mods!
