  1. Yeah the lady is back And what a mighty fine day to collect her from the repair shop on.. Who needs air con when you can hear that tune Well gotta feel for the insurance plums (well maybe not that much) 4.5K in parts and labour.. 4 weeks of misery without any wheels but she almost feels brand new and certainly liked being tickled So hears to sploshing the dosh I ain't spent on fuel on a few itsy mods..
  2. Hiya Matey Either check out Steve350z group buy on a really sweet looking Gemini exhaust viewtopic.php?f=180&t=59702 Or who also has some nice stuff on his website.. I've got ( when I finally get the lady back ) the nismo cat back.. An it's sweet sounding, can happily Tuttle round town and not get the save the world crew staring at you,then give it some beans and the noise is beautiful.. Check YouTube out, there's lots of different vids of people's exhaust notes. See which you like. A try before you buy
  3. +1 to that.. But my god it's frustrating at times. My poor pad has accidentally hit the wall so many times
  4. Star wars kinect... Nothing better than standing in ya front room with ya arms by ya nuts and flaling around to convince your mosey neighbours your a perv
  5. Xbox all the way folks.. Forza and Need for speed all the way
  6. Do you know how much they charge to re gas both struts? I don't sorry, but as far as I know it's cheaper than buying a new pair, but means you will have to do without yours for a few days, I don't know if you've ever felt the real weight of the boot, but its seriously heavy lol Dropped into there office in derby last week and they quoted me roughly 8 squid a strut, with a warranty if they fail within a timescale the price is discounted off a new pair
  7. How much?? Im 32 and paying just under a grand Now granted for the last 10 years ive not had a policy in my name, always been a named driver but got no claims applied with it and been a commercial vehicle driver as well (classed as a higher risk, when you drive a trannie ) Up untill last week ive never had a bloody accident but couldnt for love nor money get owt that cheap Even the A5 before the Zed with all its fancy angry german lady shouting at ya safety devices was still 800 notes... Are you married to the insurance unions daughter or somet?? Im feeling spanked
  8. After much wrangling and ' i need to speak to my manager' replies.. They have reluctantly agreed to cover me as all the previous correspondence falls in my favour and the error was there's... Never take insurance with a company who offers multi car insurance and has a sea captain for a name.... Pretty much Chris, im assuming the database they had was incorrect with reg no and dvla record. I started the claim, and thats when it flagged the inconsistancy... My butt hole twitched saturday but christ i coulda turned inside while they left me stewing all day while they probably tried to work ever angle to weasle out Ta matey, Nah no recommendation which is surprising owing to the fact i musta seen 10 today now i aint got one. 2 on the same street in long eaton.. Peeps gotta be taking them somewhere i know
  9. Hiya Folks First off gotta give ya all a for all the well wishes.. Its much apprieciated Bit of an update, spoke with the insurance company yesterday.. All was gravy, couldnt believe how easy it was.. "we'll have it picked up monday, courtesy car delivered." Happy days right? Wrong, Long story short. I never viewed the car, i got the RAC to do it as it was in scotland. Long way to go to find out if i didnt like it. Not once was JDm mentioned, rang insurance about swapping, gave reg plate.. "yep thats english according to the database not JDM, but even if it was we'd still insure... Phone call this morning.. We regret to tell you you arent insured as we dont cover JDM.. WHAT Many a heated conversation and replaying of original phone conversations and quoations.. " right we've had to take a seperate policy on your car as we dont do JDM but we have sold you insure and we're in the wrong to have. So we have to honour it.. I have never felt so
  10. Cs, that's so true.. Just a hunk of metal at the end of the day... Granted a beautiful looking one tho Well, I cant say thanks enough for the well wishes.. An heres hoping speaking with the insurance company won't be to stressfull
  11. Hiya Cs, I can only apologise for that.. I'd gone to drop my mate of in kibworth and I was on my way back down the a6 to see you when it happened.. My wheel arch fascia is still lying on the island.. I was to shook up to care..
  12. Hiya Alex Thanks for that, my tinkering skills pretty much end at swapping a wiper blade with cars! But cheers for that Insurance route can only be the way I think, just looked and the bottom is pushed up on drivers side so something has bent quite badly
  13. Hiya folks, Me n the zed have just been involved in accident in all the rain... I'm alright bar the seething desire to pummel the **** who cut me up But the lady didn't fair so well.. Yeah I was probably going a little too fast coming upto a roundabout, a dickhead came up the inside of me an cut across right at the last min.. Jammed the anchors on and glide I went.. Bosch jointly angle into the island.. Smashed bumper, lost the wheel arch fascia and the steering wheel now points at 10 o'clock to go straight, The tit never even stopped, my alloys are creamed, 2 brand spanking tyres are fubar and most frightening is the fact I can't go over 45 mph now without the hole car shaking so bad I get vibration white body... She's so poorly Help, anyone please..Ideas on probably diagnoses and good Nissan specialists in Nottingham area.. I can't drive to far..

  17. I'm confused, so much info on pads, discs sizes etc. Basically I've got an 03 JDM which has Brembo's calipers. Now I've read they didn't come with them in one place, in another they did. Or they were extras Can anyone give me a definitive answer on what size discs, pads, shims I need. Or a way to identify what I've actually got rather than having to turn up at a garage and look like a knob with no idea Cheers all
  18. Cheers all, Looks like a PM to Mr Z it is then because courtesy parts was the site of much head banging
  19. Hiya folks I'm wondering if any of you fellow Z-er's have got or know a link to the official makers manual..? I'm after a couple of OEM part no's but would like to get a look first to see if it is the bits I'm after Basically just bought a base 03 JDM and updating the interior, I'm after the heated seat rockers and the rocker housing as mine is just a smooth piece of vinyl.. Looked everywhere and the few sites I have found the diagrams have been so small once you enlarge it, it's like looking at one of those hidden picture puzzles Any help would be greatful Cheers Phill
  20. Cheers Mike.. Would that be the case even if volts dial is showing just under 14.. I know that's alternator charge but hey... It's japanese right
  21. Hiya folks I'm in need of some assistance with me only a week old Lady I was sat at some lights earlier and the speedo starts shooting upto 180 I wish I was doing that but I've not had a flux capacitor fitted yet.. the trip comp was going wild as well Any ideas please?
  22. Hey up Jez You wouldn't have the steering controls for the audio would you? I'm after updating my standard three spoke to controls. Cheers Phil
  23. I don't know what these are like for re-trimming but they did a stand up job on repairing my bolsters on a A5.. Reinforced the stitching, the colour match was perfect.. Took the fella about 3 hours and charged me 50 sheets http://furnitureclinic.co.uk/Leather_Re ... php?page=6

  25. Hello fellow Z-er's, Well picked up the lady yesterday.. A 03 gunmetal grey JDM with 50k on the clock. Bought her from a fella in Glasgow and had to drive her back to Nottingham.. Gotta day some of the smilest miles I've done in a while.. Already got the modding bug going on after seeing some of the stuff done on here.. So I'll say sorry now if I bring up old subjects Phil
