Just found the full Ts & Cs http://www.nissan.co.uk/GB/en/inside-nissan/innovation-and-technology/innovation-news/care.html "If you can provide a written quote cheaper than an authorised Nissan dealership's quote for servicing and mechanical repair work to your vehicle, subject always to such competing quote being (i) inclusive only of Nissan genuine parts and accessories and (ii) from a recognised vehicle repair outlet within 10 miles of your local authorised Nissan dealership, we will carry out the servicing and mechanical repair work for the cost of the lower quote. All competing quotes will need to be provided on a recognised vehicle repair outlet's headed paper. Nissan reserves the right at its discretion to accept or reject any competing quote if in Nissan's opinion such quote has not been provided from a recognised vehicle repair outlet." So they want the other place to be using genuine Nissan Parts, which I suppose might be a bit of a pain.

Hi everyone, I don't know if this has been pointed out already, but I noticed that Nissan have a price promise on services : http://fredcoupe.nissan.co.uk/about-us/nissan-care.php "NISSAN will price match like-for-like competitor written quotes within 10 miles of your local dealer." So a good way of getting local garage prices with a main dealer stamp? I suppose the only challenge is finding a cheap garage within 10 miles that are willing to provide a written quote for a service.

Thanks Lexx, an answer in under 4 minutes! Much appreciated.

Hi guys, Bought a nice Z recently, just having difficulty working out which wheels are on it: They have mania centre caps but I don't think they're mania wheels. Looks similar to Cruize 190 wheels: But I can't find any record of these being supplied in 19 inch.

Scott, This looks sooooo Shiny! Nice Zed.

Isn't the saying "What's the fastest car in the world?........ A hire car"

Thanks guys! This just saved me £100!

Now come on, a track day isn't motorsport

As title really, does anyone else circuit race or rally (or sprint) on here? I race a BMW (appalingly badly) in the production bmw championship. Me in action :

Another good use for this would be installing an Android GPS tracking app. If the car ever got pinched you could track it down :-)

Missing from my new Z (although replaced with ancient Nokia Phone, would really like the module instead!) Andy

Isn't the difference between a brand new tyre, and a close to the limit tyre 7mm? Thus making an even greater difference in rolling radius over the life of a tyre than would be present with a smaller diameter. I understand of course that there is a potential for the smaller diameter tyre to be 5mm + 7mm different (from a brand new standard size tyre to a close to the limit smaller tyre)

Yes front tyres. Does the traction control monitor the front wheels? I wasn't sure how much a difference 5mm would make, didn't realise the traction control would be so sensitive. Do Zs with 17" wheels have the same rolling radius?

Hi all, I was looking at new tyres, and noticed that in falken FK452s the 225 40 18 is over £30 cheaper each than the 225 45 18 at most suppliers. Obviously a £60 saving on a pair of tyres is desirable. Will there be any issues going 225 40 over 225 45?

Also another thing I meant to say was: How crazy is it the amount of attention you get with a Z? I've had so many nice comments about it, and people admiring it whilst it's on the drive! Does everyone else get this as well?

Thanks all, is there a minimum post limit before you can PM on this forum?

Hi Everyone, Have recently joined the 350z owners club! It's got the usual window motor problem (passenger side) and the lazy boot lifter (because of the aftermarket spoiler). 39000 miles one owner, with all original paperwork from Nissan (even a commemorative Nissan hip flask?!) all for £6500 It also came with the original Rays to go back on Andy
