  1. I'll be there just for you Think the plan now is decats, motordyne xyz, nismo centre n backbox Not cheap though
  2. I've seen you around too, quite a few people this way?
  3. Hmmm interesting Nismo is what i want for the back too
  4. You say "change them over" for mot time, is this a simple diy job?
  5. Lovely example Mind me asking how you did the LED strut brace?
  6. Correct, my finger slipped on the number pad! I can only assume that the engine is having to work less to oush the car along at 70mph due to the 6th gear than it is at 56mph. Bit like it's more economical to go up a hill at 30mph in 3rd than it is in 4th, as there's less strain on the gearbox and engine Hope you're alright mate, should have text me would have happily taken you home
  7. Just wanted to get an overall feel for people's preference Obviously the decats are cheaper and louder, but you need a friendly MOT'er and a bit of luck with the police HFC's are more expensive but fully legal So what have you got/what would you opt for?
  8. No bull about it sir Cruise control was stuck on at 80mph, only went down to 65ish once for about 2 miles 93miles of motorway, 6 miles of 50mph dual carriageway and about 1 mile of 30mph to get me home When I'm doing 70 on a long run I get about 29-30mpg. All about how you drive and what the rest of the traffic is doing I didn't touch the brake apart from once on the motorway, meaning the car was doing little/no work to keep me at cruise speed I've reset the avg MPG computer when doing 50mph in average speedworks before and after 10miles it showed me 36MPG

  10. I've been driving on the motorway for about 80% of my driving life so I know how to keep a good speed without diminishing my mpg
  11. Jesus.... Is anything salvageable from that?!
  12. So after nearly a month of ownership, I love it Great cruiser on the motorway, returning much higher MPG than i thought at 80mph Great looks, great sound, so comfy, fun round the twisty B roads and can't wait to make my own little touches So far i've added the bonnet lifters and the brushed aluminium Nismo gear shifter Few pics from my cleaning session yesterday
  13. Think this might be bumper off job...can see the sensors by the reverse light but need better access
  14. Cheers guys Will report back over the weekend after some fiddling
  15. Reverse light defo comes on every time I select reverse
  16. Something to fiddle with this weekend then
  17. Maybe you havent got close enough to anything or maybe the switch wasnt connecting when in reverse? Does you bumper have 4 little sensors on it? You dont have an import do you? Nope not an import and I can't see the sensors anywhere! It beeps when you put it into reverse initially so you know it's engaged. Sometimes I can get it to do it and sometimes I can't. Where is the switch located?
  18. For the 1st time today, i realised that i have rear parking sensors as when i reversed into a space there was an audible beep that got quicker and quicker as i got closer to the wall Never had this happen before, and i must have reversed dozens of times since owning the car for a few weeks Are they standard on the 350z? Any idea why it's only just started happening?
  19. Why put 65quid worth of @*!# in the car? I would have put about 10quid max in if I really had to and then found somewhere with v power
  20. So when will they be available?
  21. Only 3 of us so far Darren. I'm giving people to the end of August otherwise it's not worth it
  22. Yep clutch down stops it happening. Cheers guys
  23. Thanks guys Ye defo sounds like some sort of drivetrain noise but from the engine bay, so dmf would make sense. Just another trait of the zed I take it?
