Have you tried putting the SIM in another phone to see if you can get the owner's number? If you have. Just go for it. Hold power and volume down to get it into recovery mode and then plug it into iTunes and hope you can restore.

Genius

Don't we already have one of these or have I missed a subtle difference? http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/63759-what-mod-have-you-done-today/page__st__1380

Have you considered a Sean Connery style poolside suit, all in one?

John Lewis, swim shorts for when you have more money than brains.

I did the whole arm because it was impossible to tell whether it was the bush or the ball joint. Inspect it and make your choice.

Search the forum for "banana bar" its a common culprit and tricky to diagnose, even with it on a ramp. Knocking on rough surfaces at slow speeds is a giveaway.

Once or twice, but in fairness to the man himself, I'd trust him over most on Beetle content.

Dan would also say that the rate of fails has become a bit of an internet hobby horse, somewhat overstating the actual rate of fail. There's a really well informed piece by a specialist on this very subject out on the web, let me have a search. Edit - I think this is the one http://www.porscheinspections.com/qanda.php or this one http://www.porscheinspections.com/content/downloads/M96_M97_GTPorsche.pdf PS - Where is Dan? Is he ok? Not slipped getting out the bath?

I'm fairly confident Dan's first words will be about getting an inspection, but other than that it'll be positive, especially as it's a manual, apparently without PASM. It's on 19s not 18s though, so he'll have something to hold back on

Bloody snowflakes, no wonder they've gone soft if they've rejected cider.

It's probably a 13 yr old boy with his mates and a bottle of cider

Super useful having a video to copy instead of counting, I've pinned. Also edited title, hope you don't mind.

My beloved 350Z GT manual, coupe, in Gunmetal, black leather interior and cheaper road tax. Purchased in February 2013 on a very low 33,650 miles and now up to 68,100 (rising slightly with daily driving). She's been an absolute pleasure to own and has never wanted for anything. You can see below the common Zed issues I've addressed, so you don't have to. Maintenance Work Done - replaced both cam position sensors 
- clicky axles fixed
 - new Bosch battery - replaced the w-brace
 and end fixings - replaced offside banana bar - replaced clutch slave cylinder - added braided clutch line, with uprated fluid - new clutch and dual mass flywheel
 - replaced both cam covers For a 13 year old car she’s in excellent condition but there some age related items. - Front end has the usual Zed stone chips. - Rays were refurbished 3 years ago and are in good shape but there is some kerbing. - Driver’s side seat bolter is losing a battle with my ass. - Some clown has chipped the passenger door. In addition to routine maintenance, my favourite mods are listed below. Stopping, Turning & Going - DBA T2 disc and Ferodo DS2500 pads all round – improved braking power and resistance to fade - HEL braided lines added, with RBF fluid -Nismo RS throttle pedal, for easier heel and toe - Bilstein B6 dampers, TEIN S springs, Whiteline drop links and Eibach ARB – a full overhaul of the suspension - Plenum spacer, Berk HFC and Cobra resonated exhaust added to aid breathing and give a beefier sound - UpRev at TDI North yielding 292bhp and 264 lbft Cosmetic Work - added front lip, side steps, spats and rear spoiler – colour coded for an OEM+ look - added a carbon rear diffuser - upgraded to 2006 LED rear lights and crystal indicators - polished plenum - replaced the floppy plastic under tray with quality aluminium Z speed under tray - carbon dipped the scratched interior door plastics - painted the centre console, colour coded gunmetal but with a matt finish - re-sprayed the wing mirrors (black) and door handles (original) - added quarter window louvres (painted black) - gloss vinyl wrapped roof - boot glass privacy tint - added a dash camera - Jack Royal steering wheel refurb – thicker, flat bottomed and shaped for your thumbs - this is a sensational upgrade over OEM Upgraded ICE (£1,000+) I have replaced the Bose kit with: - Pioneer double din, with reverse camera and ready to connect and charge your iPhone or Android phone. - Hertz HDP5 - 5 Channel Amplifier - under the boot floor hidden from view - Hertz HSK 165 Components – tweeters out of shot above - No photo of the Hertz HCX 165 Coaxial rear speakers, but they are there. - Clarion 10” Sub, in the OEM location. - Dynamat in the doors, sub enclosure and lining some of the boot plastics to reduce resonance and vibration. I’ve kept a hefty binger full of history and invoices for maintenance and modifications. For my full build you can review the PDF attached and also at http://www.350z-uk.c...the-shark-build. Service history is shown below, the PO had it as a weekender and there are some annuals missing, but he did do them to mileage. My first job was to replace everything at a major service and she’s been serviced thoroughly ever since, last one was Feb 2017, so good for a while yet. Mileage & Service Date 06,301 - 04.12.05 11,794 - 16.11.06 17,550 - 20.03.08 22,365 - 02.12.09 30,720 - 03.08.12 37,029 - 25.06.13 45,345 - 09.04.14 53,219 - 06.03.15 61,147 - 15.02.16 67,813 - 09.02.17 MOT history is attached at the bottom of this post, all historic advisories have been addressed. Current MOT runs until November 2017. There is no finance outstanding. The car is in Blackpool and available for test drive, with the correct insurance. Alternatively, I am happy to take you out for an extended drive on the Fylde. In addition I am also frequently in Sheffield and Leeds so can possibly let you view it there, no test drives without insurance though. If you have any questions or need more photos, please do get in touch. Some more photos to whet your appetite: N.B. Umbrella is not included, a Nissan/Nismo one would probably look good. The fantastic Jack Royal steering wheel and painted centre console. Some of the work done. Comes with two keys and four Michelin Pilot Super Sports on at least 5mm. Price is £7,000 but I am open to sensible offers. MOT History.pdf Zed Build.pdf

Anything doing on zee German these days?

Speak to Ricey @ Revolve on here. I'm sure he'll have some options.

I bought a donor console, which was about £100. The sanding took me many hours, in the region of most of series two of The Man In The High Castle (you could save loads of time by just roughing the surface and keeping the mottled effect). The paint job was £120 including disassembly/reassembly of the cubby and door and button mechanism, which is a PITA. I went matt because my paint man recommended it. He's gone gloss black in his van and it traps dust for fun!

Thanks mate, I'm so pleased with them. It's one of my last tidying up jobs, so rather satisfying.

PM sent and more pics added above.

Carbon intake for a DE. The intake pipe itself is unmarked however, there is some breakdown of the coupler at the throttle body end, this has not broken through to the inside of the coupler but probably best to replace before fitting. Includes bot end couplers and the four stainless jubilee clips for fitting. More images can be found here £75 collected or I can post at your expense.
