  1. I cant say I have actually noticed any difference with/without but I do a lot of town driving so mines a lot lower than it could be anyway!
  2. Not the only one. Had the same button in my old MR2 which I used to lean on by accident occasionally Have to laugh though, it does make you feel a bit thick the first time it happens.
  3. Think it might even be in the manual somewhere
  4. Have to agree with Lexx, when you have such a good rep as Abbey do you are bound to get a lot of people wanting even simple questions answered. I know when I inevitably book my car in for some tuning work ill want them to be working on my car and not answering emails Im sure they will get back to you when they can
  5. I think a dark bronze would look awesome on a white car. Gold would probably make it look a bit cheap/tacky. Probably the same with copper. Not a Zed but might give you a rough idea
  6. Not the official video but me and Panman made this one http://vimeo.com/76733969
  7. Centre is super easy to take out. Two screws on either side at the rear (level-ish with the seats), two at the front under the gear stick trim (that just pops out if pulled upwards from around the leather gaiter). Then its just a few plugs to unplug and it can be taken out completely. Good luck Edit: Forgot one under the ashtray!
  8. Have a look here if you want some blue lugs. http://www.taperpro.co.uk/2012/nuts.htm Can buy them here http://shop.sixonetwo.co.uk/ The gold nuts on mine are TPI. Pretty good quality and are stupidly light. They can scratch a little easy though.
  9. Yeah I did. He was wondering around all day taking pictures etc. Didn't go and say hello as he had people following round quite a lot of the day. Just as we we're about to leave though he comes over to my car with a GoPro on stick. I had my window down and as he pokes it through the window he also whacks me with it! Was very apologetic, shook my hand and had a few words then he ran off to film some more!
  10. Brilliant day at the Motor Heritage Museum today!
  11. Met you today at the MCM meet while I was cleaning up my GT4. Went and had a nosey at your Zed a little later - Lovely car dude! Got a couple of quick snaps.
  12. Rear looks a lot like the R34 with that spoiler Can't wait to see it without that crazy vinyl wrap!
  13. I know its resolved by just for visual confirmation if you want it 4x 18" tyres in a coupe. On another note I know Octet managed to get 4x 19" LMGT4 alloys with tyres in his 370z
  14. Decided to give this and the other throttle related resets ago and funnily enough it does feel considerably smoother. No more hanging at 1500 when clutching. Also just for you Chubbs
  15. Saw you on the roundabout leaving Silverstone. Followed you as you came past on the dual carriageway heading towards M1
  16. Had I not done this not that long ago I would have gone for a kit. Its would have been a lot easier and less time consuming buying all the right bulbs in one go from one place. Good luck with getting the kit together, I think it will go down well
  17. Having had a similar issue recently I cleaned (and moved but not very much) the butterfly. Since then I have noticed that when moving the car idles at about 1500 on gear change but as soon as you drop below about 5mph it goes down to 800 with the AC on and 700 with it off. Thinking its meant to do this as it always behaves the same, cant say I ever paid it any attention before cleaning. Can anyone else confirm theirs does the 1500 idle while moving with the clutch down? Edit: By the way cant say this 1500 has ever caused me any issues if its not meant to do that lol
  18. Odd. My Eibach 20/25s made my 350Z handling better in my opinion, not as much as my 19" LMGT4's however! These have made a massive difference! As said, get the geo checked. If mine was anything to go by the car should feel more planted on the road with the spacers fitted.
  19. I reversed into wall once while parking, very slowly so not even a scratch Had the door open and was looking at the white lines to judge how far in the space I was then the car just jolted a bit. Pulled forward slightly and got out to find out the space was about 3/4 the size of all the others
  20. I finish work around the time all the kids get out of school. Yesterday on my way home I had a similar experience to The G Man, a little kid spotted my car, eyes widened and then proceeded to scream so loud I could hear him with my windows shut and music up pretty loud did make me laugh.
  21. Yeah, turned out to be grubby throttle body as per 3rd post. When cleaning it the first time I did move the butterfly valve a little just to clean around the edge, not much, just enough to be able to wipe out the grub. Hasn't had any adverse effect as far as I can tell, no lights, not lumpy idle, no high idle. Im wondering if I had no trouble because I had the battery disconnected while I was cleaning it so the car may have done a throttle position reset upon connecting the battery again. I did notice when cleaning it the butterfly appears it can move both ways (if that makes sense). Like if you push it at the top the bottom lifts, but you could also do the reverse. I pushed on the top when cleaning as that is the way the throttle on my 106, my MR2 and my Punto all moved (top goes back, bottom lifts and comes forward). Im wondering if the reason some have issues is because they moved the butterfly in the wrong direction?
