I think that is what will be happening soon... Lets just say I wont be going easy on the unit when I recover my CDs from it!

I have this error too... but mine is related to the CD player... I have 6 CD's loaded up.. and none play or eject... The unit asks me to press eject and nothing happens when I do. Any ideas before I surgically remove the CD's without the use of any anesthetic!

good stuff! Your Z looks sharp. Yup - I've not had it long. Bought it in mid Feb. I've always wanted a Z since they came out. I was in my final year of uni (and was running/restoring my Mk1 Golf GTI) at the time, so I was not in a position to buy one. After writing off a clean Mk3 VR6 at the Ring in August 2011, I thought I'd replace it with the Z! I'm going to try my hardest to keep this car standard, clean and well away from the Ring! I've seen quite a few different Z's in the area in the past week. I drove past the BP garage on White Lion road twice last week and saw a black Z filling up... on Friday I saw another black Z on the A413 near Gt Missenden (different driver - so assume different car), and on Sunday night saw a Silver 06 plate driving in Beaconsfield (A355) heading towards the M40.

Not me yesterday, but was that you driving through Little Chalfont around mid day today?

That is handy to know about the little marker and the dampened zone. It is worth adding those to the 'little known facts' thread!

Lol @jokes Thanks for the confirmation and peace of mind guys :-)

Im totally with Martin on this one. I suffered a prolapsed L5 disc in Oct 2010, which took me off my feet for 2 months. I could not sit or stand for more than 30 seconds before the pain became crippling. I spent 2 months on my back, dosed on pain killers/anti inflammatory drugs till I had my 2nd cortisone steroid injection. I had to eat like a dog, and could not go to the bathroom/shower without assistance. Anyway - forget the past... A couple of points.. a) after the injection and more rest, I took it very easy and slowly over the course of a year have built up from gentle physio/swimming, to regular pilates and weights at the gym. It is a huge help! I feel the difference if I miss a pilates session (you need a good instructor though, bad instructors can do further damage) I have found the Z seats and driving position one of the most comfortable I've had. The only point at which I have to be careful is when exiting in the car - I breath out and engage my core muscles before exiting... as it can be awkward in tight spaces. The issues that upset my back are tight hamstrings and weak core muscles (as I have a desk job). Only cure for me is to keep moving, exercise my core and stretch the hamstrings as much as possible. Is your injury treatable? Or have you been told it is with you for life? If there is a way you can sort your back out, getting your back better will bring more benefits than changing your surroundings to suit your injury. Hope you get better soon - I know how horrible back pain can be.

Hi All, Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead.. Mmy car warms up quickly enough and the needle sits within the "normal range" on the gauge, but as it sits just below half way I was wondering whether this is normal? In my old Golfs, the needle used to sit slap bang in the middle of the gauge at 90.. Driving conditions being - taking it easy. Flowing A roads and Motorways. Current weather conditions. Not sitting in traffic. Totally standard car. I was wondering where your needle commonly sits under normal operation?

Glad to see there are a few fellow Z owners in the area! I'm in Amersham and have a standard Z in silver with 'touring' wheels. I drive down the a413 occasionally and one in a while pop into town. I've only seen one other Z drive past mine, a silver supercharged JDM, lowered on after market wheels and also sporting a black (fibre glass or carbon fibre?) rear hatch. I'll keep an eye out for you guys next time i'm out!

Hey All, In the past week I've seen a silver 350Z in Amersham. It looked like an import on what I think were Rotas.. black rear hatch and the scream of a supercharger! Any ideas who it might be? I've seen the chap drive past my house twice in the last week - I hear it before I see it! Sounds insane!

Good result! I have a minor leak in the Z I picked up... but I have only driven it on dry days so far and it lives in the garage so I'm not too worried... but something i might tackle this or next weekend.

Did you ever find the cause of this? Was it the boot seal? Did you check the seal around the tail lights? My old car (not a Nissan) used to leak water into the boot due to a dodgy tail light seal... a new foam seal fixed it.

Hey all! Thanks for the warm welcome! Good news Saw a Z on Friday, new it was a good honest one... did the deal + deposit before I left, and returned on Sunday to drive it away So far so good - the only niggles are the ones I was aware of when buying the car - and they are common things, which should not present much bother to sort (if they annoy me enough)... but I'm still going to take it easy for a while... a) to get used to the car, to slowly shake her down and see if anything drops off lol - although I'm confident the seller wasnt hiding anything when selling it :-) Happy days driving now! It has not been the ideal weather etc... and I have a daily drive (Honda Accord Diesel) which I take to work etc... so the Z is living in the garage and coming out when I can make and excuse to (I dont have much trouble making excuses lol)

Thank for the warm welcome! Mods: I did think it might be a bit of a risky question. Sorry, I should have thought a lil more! Hi H, not had any luck yet. Saw one close contender but a few cosmetic defects put me off offering the money the seller was asking. I'm seeing 3 more before the weekend, will hopefully find at least one good one out of them all. Will let you know how I get on.

Looks very tidy! Very shiny too. I might drop you a line.

Hi all: My name is Keerat, and it is about time I made a little dream come true - and buy a Z! I've been hankering for one since I was at uni (when the Z was released)... and I think it is time to dive in. I've been looking for a decent example for a while now... seen several cars but have yet to find 'the one'. Wish me luck! [mod edit: question removed to save hassle. Lexx]
