How much did these cost to get sent over in total if you don't mind saying, i was looking the other day at ordering a pair of the silver version of these but wasn't sure about postage and customs fee's etc, i took a guess that it may be around £150 for a pair?? I may just spray my weathered Z badges gun metal in the same colour as my alloys. Jon

Count me in , thanks for the PM Although it means I'll have to fix my sticky passenger wing mirror, why do these things happen a week after your warranty expires?

I once had a Vauxhall Agila as a courtesy car, that was a scary drive being high and narrow. I remember driving into town with a mate and a group of blokes in an Audi A4 convertible starting ripping into me for "driving my mums car" lol.

Really the point here is to drive to the condition and drive within the limits of the tyre! I bought my zed in October and the previous owner has fitted budget tyres (I have looked on camskill etc and they are £55 a corner, I can't find cheaper). Yes they spoil the enjoyment of the car but I wouldn't say it feels like I'm gonna crash everytime I drive the car, I simply drive within my boundaries of talent and within the limits of the tyre. In the new year I will upgrade to RE050's probably or MPSS depending on prices or deals I can find at the time. As said, purchase a car first and go from there.

CS have them reduced to £100 atm, also listed in their eBay store

Interesting read Think I'll get one of these when I get round to getting my belts replaced, once up to temp my car rocks/shudders slightly and the idle rpm isnt steady when I'm stationary. Fingers crossed this will help, I was contemplating giving the MAF a clean. Jon

If you didn't mind a drive i swear i read recently that Sly from Kaizer Motors can get a set of 4 Michellin Pilot Super Sports fitted on 18'' wheels for £745. This is a cracking price for an amazing set of tyres. If youre in Chelmsford it's only an hour away and he could probably help with the other niggles you posted recently about the car, if you've not already sorted them.

If you were happy with the performance then why not buy them again, it depends entirely on the way you drive the car. i would say at £105 a corner they are a budget make. I've not heard of them before or tried them to offer an opinion.

I had an undelivered card left for me on Friday for 2 parcels, went to the Royal mail depot last night to collect. All going well so far........ But it wasn't until i got home i had a parcel for a young lady with the same surname as me, doesn't even live anywhere near me. So i called the depot and they can't find my second parcel and i have to take the poor girls parcel that was given to me back to the depot at my expense. Royal Mail have broken so many parcels that i have taken so much care in wrapping carefully, there insurance etc is also worthless, the most i've had as re-imbersement has been a book of 6 first class stamps. Well done Royal Mail, you never fail to dissapoint.

Shame I didn't see this thread earlier, this is within 1 mile from me. Any other stealth missions required just hesitate to holla! Jon

Yep, all done. At least I think, lol, I'm being sent paper work in the post to sign... It's been years since I've taken out insurance with paper work! I just like to think Ive got a good deal. I was having a sulk because I don't feel it's justified to charge me £100 more for 5 days cover when I won't even be using the car anyway. I guess it's swings and roundabouts, last month I got £33 of free petrol through the tesco vouchers, this month I lost out to an insurance company. I wonder what January will bring.....

I doubt it's the sex discrimation changes, if anything men's premiums will stay the same and females will be increased. IMO it seems they are praying on people who's insurance is about to expire as they have less time to shop around so feel they can get away with charging more, the longer notice I gave over the next 2 weeks the cheaper my quote got. I didn't like the worry of having no insurance so bought a policy with our friends at Prestige. £450 for a car like the Z is a cracking price so I really can't grumble.

Thanks for the suggestions, i guess what i'm asking is if there was a grace period. I'm just being a tight a*se, just shocked really that for 6 days the quotes can vary by 20% I'll get a policy bought and go for a drive tonight to put a smile back on my face, fitted my Nismo knob yesterday so i'm itching to go for a drive anyway.

I just wanted a bit of advice from anyone in the know on Insurance. My car runs out of insurance today, i've been looking today for quotes and could insure my car for £450, my dilema however is that if i insure the car from Friday this week it will cost £364..... almost £100 less?? obviously i want to wait and save the cash but it is illegal to own an uninsured car. Will i be ok for 1 week without the car insured, it will be on my driveway day and night and unused until i insure it again. I've read online that i may receive a letter advising if i don't insure my car immediately i face a £100 fine, but i imagine if this is the case the car will be insured before i even receieve the letter. I tried some of the forums insurers earlier in the month but they could not compete with "high street" insurers unfortunately as i've only owned the car since October. Thanks in advance for your insights....... Jon

I switched from 16" run flats to a set of 18" staggered fitment wheels with non-run flat tyres on my old E90 and had no issues with the TPMS at all. I had to re-calibrate the TPMS a few days after changing the wheels, due to the change in wheel size, and it was fine after this. IMO the car felt alot nicer to drive and was well worth doing.

Good to know, just hope it comes off in one piece as its in very good condition as it is... IMO of course lol. £20-£30 will pay for the grips I need to buy to remove the OEM knob, doh!

Hi, what make is the stubby antenna? Is it an eBay jobby, S2000 antenna, a Honda RDX antenna as sold by redline styling on here or another make? Thanks, Jon

I like the plastic grid that rtbiscuit used in this thread, seems a more permanant solution to the travel thinning and is easy enough to DIY. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/65237-driveway-suggestions/page__hl__drive#entry966306

Surely the easiest solution is to chuck more gravel down.

Have a look here, there are hundreds of threads on the forum if this one is no good... http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/10861-changing-gear-stick-knob/ Jon

i find a bug and tar remover is good for softening dried on rubbish to ease cleaning.

Gunmetal car with the Tan leather is my perfect combo tbh. Although Gunmetal or even black with a deep red leather sounds very tasty indeed.

I tried meguires swirl x on my headlights when I picked it up as thats probably the most abrasive polish I own, it gave very little improvement tbh. I'd love to sort my headlights out properly though so also interested in people's techniques as above Jon

Hi I'm looking to try and sell my Bose Sounddock II iPod and iPhone speaker dock as after upgrading my blu ray player to a surround system with a dock included then changing my phone to an iPhone 5 I have no use for this. These are selling at around £120 plus delivery on eBay at the mo which is what Ive based my price on. It is a cracking system and a loud iPod dock This works with most of Apples iPod and iPhone products but not the new generation phones and iPods with the lightening connector. The unit is in great condition and works fantastically, fully boxed with instructions, remote, UK power cord and a 2 pin power cord for Europe or America (I'm not sure where the second lead is for tbh) It has a few swirl marks in the glossy finish from dusting but other than that perfect. Looking for for £110 collected or can deliver locally, I'm in Southampton SO50 postcode Thanks, Jon
