thanks for the advice. such a nice car but such strange noises.

Just noticed that we the clutch is disengaged that there is a strange whiney noise and it seems to get higher pitched when dipping the gas pedal. Is this normal? All is fine when the clutch is engaged and a gear is selected.

Always good to have more 350Z drivers

is that 350Z.

cool. welcome back. is the megane sport not what you were expecting?

any chance of posting links? it like to see the difference as thinking of buying a decent pressure washer at some point.

ok thanks for the advice so far. Will take a few shots later and post them up. DC.

really Wonder Wheels?? I've got some of that stuff. Anyone else confirm that this will work before I set about with the elbow grease?

no answers..... that's very unusual

slightly off topic - but was thinking of buying C5 from gtechniq.... is it any good? http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/gtechniq/c5-alloy-wheel-armour.aspx

You were the one getting the volk sf's right? In which case. DON'T for the love of gord use polish. Just use a gentle shampoo + wax otherwise you'll ruin them. nah mate this is for the tail pipe not wheels. thanks for the advice though. and no I wasn't planning on changing the RAYS at the moment.

I use something called ALU by Belgom which I bought from a motorbike show a while back and its excellent. Lasts a very long time. is this it http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ALU+alloy+cleaner&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a#ds=pr&pq=alu%20alloy%20cleaner&hl=en&cp=6&gs_id=5&xhr=t&q=belgom+alu&pf=p&sclient=psy&client=firefox-a&hs=tep&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB%3Aofficial&tbm=shop&source=hp&pbx=1&oq=Belgom&aq=0&aqi=g1&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=c860da2aa08f7b6&biw=1366&bih=575

what brand of light alloy polish would you recommend?

so you can use autosol inside the tail pipe as well as on the outside and rim?

ok will give a go. thanks for the advice always great to see speedy help. DC.

so apply liberally or sparingly? rub in and it should shine?

Hi All. My tail pipes are looking a bit unclean and I am wondering how but to spruce them up. I have the 0.000 grade wire wool but that isn't shifting a thing. I also have autosol but don't want to apply that until the pipes are a little better off. Here are the pics of my sad end: Warning Fairly Big Images exhaust shot 1 exhaust shot 2 exhaust shot 3 exhaust shot 4 Hope someone can advise. Cheers, DC.

Just seen you as I was driving around this sunny lunch time with the top dropped. Good to see another Zed in the vicinity of where I work. Fancy a race? lol.

Glad to hear that neither you or your zed were injured.

I had a mate who bought a unit from a so called UK seller from fleabay and he had a problem with the optical drive a few weeks after installation. When he tried to get the unit returned the UK seller said that he had to return it to a Chinese address. Fleabay were pretty crap about the whole thing and a sour taste has been left in my mates mouth over the whole debacle that he has since stopped using fleabay. Just a word of warning that what you might think is from the UK is in fact from the far east.

will he take the alloy with the tyre on or is it best to get the tyre removed? Also is there a better more solid alloy wheel / brand than the RAYS? Cheers,

Cannot believe that I have kerbed the same wheel twice today Also cannot believe how easy it is to damge the RAYS alloy wheels they just seem to disintegrate at the slightest touch. Anyone know of a good place in Bristol that will refurb this alloy wheel please? DC.

Have a midnight grey (i think that's what the paint is called) 350z. I have noticed a few scratches that probably won't buff out so is there a product that can be used to fill may be along the lines or Poorboys Blackhole? DC

ah that explains the abscence in mine then, though I did test drive a 350Z (55) plate that had the BT dongle.

let your gf drive for a bit.... she will change her mind. My wife didn't want me to buy a Roadster, but now when the weather is good she is the first one to ask for the roof down. lol. Good luck with your purchase, may you spend many a long hour on nice relaxing drives.
