KUGT4

feasible i burn 1 litre every 500 miles regularly monitor the oil weekly no issues at 90k miles so far

ran a ford to 200k+ only thing that stopped me replacing parts on it was the shell which was rotting from the inside out otherwise, like others have said, it'll have kept going with maintenance/parts

avoid/dump the 'haters' - they ain't your friends

ron levels drop over time sat in the forecourt - best go for the highest ron to hit the recommended 98 level momentum 99/shell is good

shell vpower/momentum only - 90K+ miles and no issues Whats the oil cap got to do with fuel touche glad you clarified that one given the audience

well done - take it these were the massive bright blue ones?

based on comments so far... what the hell - 97 is close enough

98 ron minimum - see oil cap

same here quote - "serves you right for buying a porsche" - comment made after me nervously watching dodgy bloke walk past my parked Z

fyi - just got a 'nice car mate' from random bloke at pedestrian crossing tonight....

Not as silly as it seems Dan, there was a discussion recently on the E type forum about the repair costs of classic cars now easily exceeding the value of the actual car. The owner of a rare classic could in effect be entitled to have the car restored to pre accident condition not necessarily "irrespective of cost" but up to and maybe more than 100% value of the car. Unfortunately in this case the OP would probably be hard pressed to prove the rarity value of his car or that he couldn't find a similar one with the money the insurance paid out. Back to the OP, sorry to hear what's happened and hope you get it all sorted. its not only classic insurance situations you can recover > 100% of market value if its no fault goto an accident management company first and inform your insurance you have done so with zero cost to them if you go through your insurance first to claim they will most likely issue a write off on the car (esp 350z) which will stay with the car even if you change your mind and go elsewhere to progress repair/recovery

rear end - no fault - no brainer goto accident management company - only way to avoid car being written off by insurance company

Hope you don't mind me saying but havnt read such rubbish in a long time. When all components are checked cleaned and the discs then skimmed on the car by a professional brake judder will not return. yes it will if the disks are not bedded in properly - which they never are

disc 'run out' - perfectly normal - ignore it its the pad transfer distribution on the disc - if its uneven you get judder only way to resolve is to either reskim the discs/new pads or new discs/pads either way it will probably return as you never get the 'bedding in' procedure right i had this on my last set - which lasted around a year - recently put reskimmed discs/new pads on and it went (but expect it will return)

probably disk 'run out' ie pad transfer uneven on the disk can either live with it (easier), skim the discs or new (either way it usually comes back) ie keeping foot on brakes at junctions/stops highly unlikley warped discs

clean the maf sensor banker

yeah, just use it - no matter how you try and keep it safe somebody else will trash it

1ltr of oil every 1k miles? Have you forgot to put your sump plug in... Checked my oil for the first time last night (I've only had it 3 weeks) and my is it fiddly! within limits apparently - each Z differs

Better than what i heard at the fast show as i pulled in and someone went oh look theres a poor mans gtr :/ lol what did they have?

learned over the years that pricer cars dont necessarily turn heads automatically.... ....if thats what you want personally wanted something cheap with a 'bif of poke'

same as 25mpg fronts tyres (bridestone) 20k+ rear tyres 10k+ set edc discs £200 new, £60 reskim set edc redstuff pads £70 1lt oil topup every 1k miles with nissan oem 5w30 - £4

don't forget to put the UV protection sachet on afterwards otherwise it'll cloud back up in weeks

personally use nissan 5w-30 - was going 5L for £20 delivered off ebay local nissan garage insists on wanting to put 10w-40 in every service dispite the cap and manual both saying 5w-30

got this after a belt change/service - took it back and they tightened it....

running 81K atm - ran last car to 200K
