  1. Ha ha awesome mate. Sorry been so busy etc just haven't got around to sorting it out. Will drop you an email tomorrow. Is it still the same bank details etc?
  2. Wow cheers for all the advise, Well I do really want to get the best out of the Zed before I am made to sell her so think I might have to spend the cash. I did a track day last year and overheated the brakes after a few laps so would prefer more time on the track and less time waiting to cool them down watching everyone else have fun. Alex I did send speak to you a while ago about the brakes etc, have you some still in stock? Fronts and rears? Have looked into Zed prices in Germany and there are 30-40% more expensive!!! couldn't believe it. Any recommendations on the best track days to go for? I'm on the south coast so have plenty of options
  3. I am looking at upgrading my brakes for a couple of upcoming track days, looking at getting the Motul RBF brake fluid and Ferodo DS2500 pads but i was wondering how important it is to change the brake lines too? I ask because i will be moving to Germany later in the summer so unfortunately have to sell the car (Not happy about it) so I want to do enough so not to suffer the brake fade issues but also I do not want to spend a fortune on parts i won't see the benifit from. If anybody has any advice I would greatly appreciate it.
  4. I had this issue with my stereo for the past year but in the last month it seemed to be getting worse and worse till i couldn't deal with it anymore. I found this thread a while ago but kept putting off the job as it seemed pretty envolved but was so impressed with the pics and instruction, it made the job so easy and i completed it in 2.5 hours. Been driving around for the past few days and totally fixed, very happy and can't believe i had been putting it off for so long. Would definately recommend doing this fix if your left channel keeps cutting in and out. Thanks to the help, really great write up and pics
  5. Did this the other week after seeing this post and I'm well happy to say the noise has totally disappeared, so easy and quick to do and so nice to not hear that annoying noise every time i move back and forth from a standstill!!! Would totally recommend this is as it only takes about 20-30 mins a side. Thanks for the advice
  6. Cheers for the advice again, Still very undecided about whether to bite the bullet and just do it just cause it is a long round trip and sods law states it will go at the worst possible time but then some of the other posts say theres clutchs have gone for much much longer, so ummm. Has anyone advice on rough times it takes to do some of the passes etc?? I will be saying at Sanremo then travelling upto Lake como for a fews days then either up Nonrth through switwerland and then east towards the stevlio pass or from Como to the stevlio pass and then back up through switzerland around andermatt as there are some awesome roads i see around there. Just wasn't to sure of the timing etc. Any advice on this would be very helpful. Plus i have heard its best to attack the stevlio from the north instead of the south? Haytonz - Would be great to meey there but still haven't got the finally bit sorted but will let you know, would be good to have someone to blast around with
  7. Cheers for all the responses and advice. This is my first post on here so very happy to hear your opinions. 'If it ain't broke don't fit it' - i've had 2 frineds tell me this too ha ha!!!! Just wanted to ask and get a few peoples opinion as i didn't want to get all the way to the stevlio pass then not be able drive up the bloody thing lol! Have sorted out the european cover as well already cheers, wouldnt chance it without. Also sorted the insurance for the misses to drive but not sure if thats a good thing or not ha ha!!! haytonz - i will be going from 25th May to the 10th June and doing pretty much the sam as you, French Alps, Monaco, Stevlio pass then north into switzerland to do another pass but forgot the name doh!
  8. Hi there, I will be heading of on an awsome road trip to the south of France then Italy and back through Germany (bring on the autobahns!!) at the end of May. I think looking at google maps i will be covering around 3000 miles of some of the best driving roads in europe lol. Now my big decision is whether to change my cultch or not before i go. i currently have a 2004 350z with 55k on the clock, I know its very hard to judge when a clutch is going to go but reading many of the posts on here i seem to be right at the millage that it should be due. The clutch on the car does bite high but then i have read this is quite normal on the Z, i have covered around 4,500 miles in the car since owning it and the clutch bite point doesn't seem to have changed and i have carried out numerous tests to see if it will slip and it still working great with no signs of slipping or lossing power. The car has been really well looked after and its in very good condition so dont think it has been abused too much before i bought it but really can't decided to bite the bullet and change the clutch just incase or leave it and hope it will carry on working fine. Just dont want to be stuck it the alps with a car that won't go up a mountain!!! Could anyone tell me how fast a clutch would deteriorate i.e once you get the signs of i slipping do you have 10, 100 or 1000 miles of careful driving, basically could i get back to UK if it starts to slip in Northern Italy? Cheers
