do they still get nicked? just lock mine with the key

full service history personally would choose an 'untampered' example eg no third party air intake under the bonnet check the exhaust system if still the original OEM steel version check compression arm bushes - mot advisory or changed recently? check the mot history --> https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history check background - personally used --> http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/

im assuming your using one of the bose to third partry wiring adapters? is there 2 blue wires that look like they need connecting?

just curiosity? did any obd2/torque show anything?

you need quite a bit of 'juice' to start a Z - depends what your trying to jump start it with only thing i've found to work was a 'power start ps700' - it puts out 700A min going up to 1600A most breakdown services carry them

IIRC premium fuel contains 'cleaning' agents anyway

blatted my orange stitching with black leather balm while going over the seats generally all black seats with no orange stitching much prefer

was charged £100/day for a fiesta during my AM experience took 8 months and handing over ALL savings/accounts info to third party (by law) as they contested cost - around £2K iirc they settled in end but it was an experience would probably still use AM if i knew the car was potentiaily going to be written off for minor (but expensive) damage but next time round i would hire a replacement car myself and claim the cost back later

Bored of the Z? No No I'm not

tip: steep hill parking? - pull handbrake ALL the way to the top.... ....and than pull some more....

can you get it in diesel? ahh, 350z - it's turboed isn't it? some of my classics

what does 'Make sure that the throttle valve moves during above 10 seconds by confirming the operating sound' mean when only the ignition is in the on position?

cheers, its part of the 'throttle valve closed position learning' procedure following an ecu reset part of that procedure involves 'Make sure that throttle valve moves during above 10 seconds by confirming the operating sound' Not clear what this means

what does 'Make sure that throttle valve moves during above 10 seconds by confirming the operating sound' mean?

its not knackered leave it very loosely tightened overnight - allow everything to cool down next morning, loosen, then retighten

i walked past a same colour Z in a car park and thought - how has my car moved?.... ...than saw it only had the rays fitted (yuk) GT4 owner

personally view it more as a tax

been here, done that - share your pain - my exp (non Z) cost me £1200+ id pay up and take the pain - with noone to claim from its difficult - youll pay out one way or another shop around and get cheapest quote imo

from experience of owning a rare, but uneconomical, car prior - i know which one i'll using

The Insurer will decide whether it's a write-off. It's down to cost of repair v value. You can't decide that you want it repaired at any cost. Tim as i stated in the original post - you go through accident management companies - they WILL repair your Z at any cost if you let an insurance assessor near your Z they will most likely write it off and that marker will stay for the life of the car - so just go straight the AM company

in my experience with no fault - go through a management company (+ inform your insurance what you've done with zero cost to them) if you want the Z repaired, no expense spared if you want the Z written off (highly likely given the current Z values) then claim through your insurance

lol - chavtasic what was his response? He just looked at his mate and laughed, his mate didnt react lol. coz he was really crying inside but had to put a brave face on it for his 'mate' his mate reflected his real reaction LOL

lol - chavtasic what was his response?
