  1. Humpy, what wheels are on your zed in the signature pic?? About to start assessing the wheel situation, and those look really nice... lol
  2. Phwoar, dunno about good rugby team......... (Quins supporter here ) But thank you for the kind words chap, it was a really great trip. Loads and loads to do - Firehouse Rotisserie, by the way, if anyone's ever in Bath - GO THERE. Incredible food, really great service, and they gave us a free bottle of Champers when they realized we'd just got married! Really sweet! But yes, Bockaaarck, the red zed was most definitely yours, your sig pic looks exactly in the same place as I saw it haha. Really did enjoy our stay, can't wait to go back. Except there was an insane volume of Chinese people in Thermae Spa, who didn't seem to want give up water space very easily lol. But the volume of Zeds about did make up for that small issue B.
  3. So I went to Bath for an initial honeymoon on Monday (Having got married on Sunday) - It was only a 3 day trip due to work issues. Anyway - whilst down there, there was Zed's everywhere!!! No.1 - Blue Roadster on my way toward Bath, think it was Warminster Road. Gave me a little Wave anyway! No.2 - Gun Metal Coupe, nice n low, with black 'Bentley' branded wheels on it! Looked absolutely the nuts. Parked in the centre of Bath town... No.3 - Red Coupe with the big Nismo wing, and what looked like Silver Rota GTRs on it, parked near the Royal Crescent at the top of the town. No.4 - Silver Coupe, on the road going up and out of Bath, looked to be wearing a set of 370z alloys on it. Sat quite nicely, could have been grey though as well, don't remember. No.5 - Black 370z Coupe, parked up in the middle of the town. Was getting a lot of looks from the kiddies lol. Probably still won't get a response to this hahaha! Best, Ben
  4. Welcome along mate, I'm in Chichester area, so not far. Make sure you get your ass down to Sushi Sunday at Goodwood on the 7th!!!
  5. Okay, so recently, my car seems to be on it's time of the month. Everything is being a right pain the neck... So, firstly, there's a rattling scraping noise every time I press the clutch, which becomes louder on biting point. (Thinking this is a new clutch tbh... thumbs up.) Secondly, the car is immensely loud at the moment. It's standard engine/exhaust-wise, so it's been nice and quiet and reserved until recently, when it suddenly decided it wanted to be ridiculously loud... Lastly, but most definitely not least, is that I put my foot down in 2nd gear this evening, and suddenly realised a definite flat spot at 3100rpm.... What the absolute **** is going on guys...???? This has all happened within 2 weeks, having had 5 months of completely trouble free motoring.... Can anyone diagnose any of these problems? Given that it's all happening at the same time would suggest at least 2 of them are related at least... HELP! Ben.
  6. Oh really? interesting.. will have a ganders n see if I can find it.. Thanks dude
  7. So. Dependant on what a technician at work says to me on Saturday - I may need a new clutch lol. Always good news. Luckily I can change it myself, but am shite at diagnosing. Anyway, that's irrelevant I suppose. The question I have is: Has anybody used the Exedy Organic Sports Clutch, and is it worth the monies really...? I will be attending skid days again soon, so any advice on it would be greatly appreciated! Cheers in advance, B
  8. Saw you about an hour n a half ago, anyone on here? B.
  9. Question dudes - do these actually have UK road maps on lol? I never realised....! I've got one spare, but didn't think i'd be able to use it!!!! (And lastly, can you get English buttons haha?
  10. Saw you parked up in Milton Keynes last night while i was out on my stag do... Shockingly, also saw/heard a supercharged zed with a carbon fibre boot go past me earlier in oxfordshire.... Absolutely NUTS. Any ideas folks? Also saw a black zed coupe on the M25... you did give me a half-hearted wave I think...!?
  11. I need to have a word with one of the service chaps at work... If this is the part I think it is I'll wing you the money tomorrow night mate. Nice one!
  12. A quick video I helped create for FortyOneSix of Tax Free Sunday... watch it in HD for heavens sake... http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=427636067323341
  13. Guys, how did no one spot another zed!! I was behind one in the queue to get in (you got bored and turned out of the queue) in silver... There was also a sunset Zed in the 'Not tax free' Car Park to the right of the entrance, as well as my own that was a couple of rows back! Shoulda gone to specsavers
  14. Right, perhaps I will have the coilovers, but may have to have a discussion with the mrs about the use of our credit card....
  15. Thanks Neil! Couldn't remember what date they said it was! Did you drive down Terminus Rd earlier by any chance? Saw an Azure roadster saunter past this afternoon...?
  16. Should have made it clear that 'Sushi Sunday' will be for Japanese car enthusiasts only....
  17. Evening folks! Not organized a meet, and probably won't be formally organizing this one as I'm relatively new on here, but just to inform everyone, there'll be a Breakfast Club meeting at Goodwood Motor circuit on the second (i think) Sunday of April!!! Can we get a contingent of Zeds there please?? Be great to meet some of you folks, especially as I'm sure some of you guys only get Sundays off, such as I do. I will most likely be filming interviews with car owners for the goodwood car news website http://fortyonesix.com/ (Shameless plug there, everyone needs to get on this site too ) So happy to do interviews if any of you want to rant and rave about your zeds! Anyway, list of names below if you fancy coming... you all know the drill by now I'm sure! Best, 1. Ben Read (benjy88) 2.
  18. Saw a blue kitted 350z this morning about 8:30 on the A27, going in the opposite direction - had a carbon bonnet too by the looks of things.. Anyone on here? Also saw a white 370z with black wheels this afternoon (but history says he probably won't be on here lol) B.
  19. Welcome along! Just got my Zed too, you'll not be disappointed!
  20. Yeah I know, I suspected as much to be honest - but just wanted a bit of reassurance. Well. Time to order a new service book pack lol!
  21. Damn. That's infuriating then. Means I have no service history by the looks of it, even from the start. That's a bit depressing lol. Oh well, will have to start a new one.
  22. It most certainly is, 'N' reg covers that sorta area - I think NG might be a specific area. Any ideas where yours came from?
  23. Evening chaps. Trying to find out where my 350z was originally sold from, as I desperately want to track down the service history. My plate is NG54 JSY. If anyone has a similar plate and knows what dealership it was sold from I'd be really grateful. Already tried Benfield Nissan in newcastle, as that's the most likely bet for an NG plate. Any help would be appreciated! Ta, Ben
