  1. Will always miss the DC2 seats, so perfect!
  2. Yep same as me, £280 all in for same day service but you have to book your car in. I dropped car off at 8am and it was done by 3pm, as Paddy said the finish is very good. Just have to clean the car when it ever decides to stop raining!!
  3. Had the Zed booked in last Monday to get the Rays stripped and sprayed as they were peeling quite badly. Was tempted to go a slightly darker smoked chrome but wasnt convinced so ended up going for a dark bronze with mat finish. Think it's called a Sempang Bronze. Took a couple of quick pics after it was done, but they dont do it justice as you cant really see the bronze in the light. Im really pleased- just need to get the spacers I ordered from Cougar Store fitted! Great service by Wheel Specialist in Birmingham, really friendly and sorted it all out with tyres on same day. Hopefully I have attached photos ok.
  4. Maybe something catching on discs/brakes? Or axle needs greasing?
  5. Says it all:- "This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing."
  6. Working until about 4 ish, then off until 7th Jan! Woop! Got car booked in to get wheels sprayed either smoked chrome or a dark bronze (havent decided yet) at Wheel Specialist Birmginham. Hoping to get wheel spacers put on at same time! Happy New Year to the Z!!
  7. Im sure you will ahve better luck in the new year. Depending on your situation it might be better to wait until Spring to sell as weather nicer.
  8. Maybe previous owner put cheap ones on the back so he could shred them up drifitng before it was sold! Hope your enjoying the Zed, will definately be better with proper rubber all around!!
  9. Not used them before but will keep them in mind, thanks. I used Camskill for tyres as they always seemed to offer a good price. Hope your not mixing tyre brands from front to back!
  10. I always go along the lines of the worst case scenario and can I afford that. I said to myself can I afford to run a car that gives me 18-20mpg on average, as there is no way I was going to get a car like a Z and be too worries about cash to drive it how I want. If you can afford it then great, but dont buy a car and be worried every time you floor it. Its just not a happy place to be!!
  11. You will be fine, as its a JDM no one will want to nick it!! (JOKE!) Had a Clifford on my JDM Integra, was really good.
  12. Yup high bite as said above. Shouldnt really be making a whining noise...unless its supercharged?!!!! Yeah go and compare with other Zeds. Thinking back I drove about 6 before I found one I thought felt the best.
  13. Haha, glad you saved it!! My only dodgy experience was having the Z step out me on a roundabout at 30 ish mph while in 3rd gear! No heavy foot, just decided to go (was very heavy rain). Scared the crap out of me!! A few wiggles every now and again when im too heavy handed but apart from that im too worried to give it anything when its anywhere near a damp road. I have only ever tried a drifting taster session once and it was awesome, but far to nervous to try it in my lovely Z! Really need to get down to a big car park and practise!
  14. It really is so disheartening when things like this happen. I mean if they think its close when turning past your car then just back up 2 feet and get clear to make sure. Just so lazy! I have seen some much older drivers in car parks who just dont realise they have scraped a car!
  15. night vision for rear view?? That would be awesome!! hahaha
  16. think its just the nature of the car. not sure anything will help the chatter that much. One guaranteed way of overcoming it is to get a louder exhaust or turn the tunes up!! I always had the idea of a 350z being really quiet with only a nice v6 grumble to be heard....not the case they rattle and chatter a lot!
  17. corbra/scorpion exhaust and get a popcharger. Job done. Would prob leave HFC as have seen they cause a few O2 sensor problems which kick off the EML. You could get y pipe but I have been more than happy with popchrger and scorpion exhaust.
  18. Make sure that its definately a clicky axle as i misdiagnosed mine as it turned out the slight clicky noise was the brembo calipers moving a little
  19. I cant recall ever seeing an insurance company who consider more than 9 years maximum NCB (although it has been a few years since I worked in personal lines insurance). You clearly have the maximum bonus for whichever insurance company you choose to go with and if you save money moving then who cares. If your getting trouble proving your NCB with this new company then you have the 14 day cool of period to cancel and find someone else. Your not a victom here you always have the choice to stay or move companies.
  20. Its a 350z so ignore anything to do with MPG! Get an aftermarket exhaust and enjoy the sound!
  21. gran turismo should be worth it, if they ever let you customise your cars like forza
  22. from looking at that game trade in site I should be able to get a fair whack off my ps4 pre order. Really hoping that the PS4 is worth it over the xbox one. I ended buying a 360 because playing online with a ps3 was a lag fest.
  23. think its called a JUMVEA certificte which confirms the km it had at the point its changed to read miles

    Rip Off

    Isnt this all a good thing?? Basis of all of this is down to high levels of competition. Customers demanding more for their money etc and businesses doing all they can to get the edge in whatever market they work in. Surely competition and prices are changing all the time so a companies "best price" would never be good for very long as competitors keep asjusting. I know its frustrating that we dont always ge the best price first time, but this is reflective of the ways customers behave these days.
