  1. Is it weird that I'm looking forward to my zed being serviced... will be the first service since owning it so guess I'd like to know everything is running as it should

  2. Around £630 :)

     

    :lol:

    I bet his arse dropped when he read that :lol:

     

    To be honest before I got the car, this is the kind of price I was expecting for a V6 Sports Car... was pleasantly surprised by the quotes i've been getting! :lol:

     

    Quite nice to see the massive variation in prices too - I live in the south so afraid you're a bit far away atkins666 or i'd go for that!

     

    ZMANALEX - I'll give it a think and get back to you, definitely not confident enough to do it myself so i'll work out prices.

     

    Cheers for the resposnes

  3. Hi guys,

     

    Need my P3 done soon for 36k miles, just wondering what sort of price I should be expecting?

     

    Sorry if this is answered elsewhere, had trouble searching for it since you can't search for 'p3' :headhurt:

  4. First off, I have read every sticky in here and read a few topics around the forum and its left me a bit confused.

    I also read this: http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyres_For/Nissan/350z.htm - which seems to highlight cheaper tyres; cant help but think its maybe because most of the reviews are for FWD cars.

     

    Anyway my problem is that I don't have the biggest budget for tyres, but I don't want to constantly feel like im going to slip off the road.

     

    My car currently has Bridgestone RE050A's, the rears are ready to be replaced, but the fronts have still got quite a bit of grip.

     

    The choices im thinking of are:

     

    1) Buy some part-worn RE050As for the rear tyres - never done this before, are they safe or a good choice?

     

    2) Buy all four tyres in a cheaper brand, maybe go back to the bridgestones in the future when I have a bit more disposable cash to replace the rears.

     

    3) Accept that I need to buy brand new Bridgestones...

     

    What do you think?

  5. So as some of you know the 350z seems to LOVE stone chips, I heard a big ding on the motorway the other day, thought it was the windscreen but noticed this afterwards...

    Please ignore the dirt this was after a 300 miles trip :lol:

     

     

    Anyway i was thinking this was a good time to either:

     

    a) Get some clear reflectors

    or

    B) Make/get some DRLs

     

    Anyone know the best place to get either of these?

  6. Has anyone tried this? I'm thinking of a mod something like on the Audi TT/BMW 3series.

     

    Tiny little aerial centrally mounted on the roof instead of on the back - might mock up a picture later to see how it looks.

     

    Just wondered if anyone had tried this? Or can think of any potential problem?

  7. Feel the tunnel where the gearbox is at the side of your left foot inside the cabin ;) all my chocolate melted on a drive out in the passenger footwell. I have decats though so its even warmer

     

     

    this was the first thing I noticed when I got my car! Wondered why my left leg felt so hot...

     

    How come it gets so hot from a mechanical point of view? Bad lubrication?

  8. I was next to a Lamborghini Aventador the other week and thought the same thing... I felt like I was in a 4x4 next to it, the top of the car came up to my window!

     

    Also makes the zed sound quiet :D

  9. Hi guys - just wondered how much heat is normal from the engine? Noticed the other day I could feel the heat from the engine when standing near it quite noticeably; the coolant temp inside is fine and oil is fine so wondered if this was normal for a bigger engine?

     

    Cheers!
