Be careful if you havn't declared its got different wheels etc.

Don't believe those that say you must have a manual, the triptronic is great fun.

It's worth reading this: http://www.350z-uk.c...r-mineral-oils/ To a lesser degree, the points covered in the above would apply to semi- synthetics also. The other point is that when it is not clear what use the car is going to be to, it pays for members to be cautious with oil recommendations. Extract from a European Court judgement: "Synthetic is a marketing term and its up to the marketer of the oil to define what synthetic is." Therefor, any oil that is subjected to any unconventional practice can be labelled synthetic.Most "fully synthetic"oils have as much as 20% petroleum product added as a carrier oil for the additives, so it is labelled as "fully synthetic" when it is not. Why,if "fully synthetic" is so good,are the change intervals exactly the same as mineral oils? It seemed to me that some of the answers given to Justin may have scared him into thinking it would wreck his engine, when,as Jezz said, it won't do any harm at all. Regards, Keith

You could use it trying to persuade AVB to play Defoe

As far as I know it's only recorded "stolen/recovered" if the insurance has paid out.

I am sooooooo glad that you do not work as an adviser in the oil industry. :lol: Alex. Nice one Alex

Why does everyone get so hooked up on what engine oil to use. Some oils are better for cold starts, some are better for high temps and some are better for long life etc. but basicly its just oil. Some oils are synthetic and some are not but if you change regularly it dosn't really matter that much. People are brainwashed by car manufacturers that you must use this or that oil [ the oil companies pay them to say that ] when any half decent oil will do. I don't know anyone who has wrecked an engine from using the "wrong oil". Auto trans oil is a good example when the car manufacturer says you must use x oil [ that costs an arm and leg ] or the box will spontaneously disintegrate, its all bulls..t. As the Americans will say ,don't fall for "snake oil" bulls..t.

It won't work on a JDM. I fell for it and purchased one.

Well you wouldn't get mine for 5K

Enjoy, Matt

I used to work at a main dealer and I wouldn't take my push bike to one. Most people who own these sort of cars are enthusiasts and look after their cars. I do my own servicing and as long as you keep receipts for parts used it wouldn't put me off.

Can you get "aircraft style" fuel filler flaps for a Z ?

Hi If anyone has changed their front lights for after market ones I'm after a pair of OEM ones. To fit a 2002 JDM 350z, non Hid and non scratched to hell like mine! Regards Keith

Hi all Can anyone say for CERTAIN what code reader will work on a 2002 JDM 350z. I've bought 2 now that say they work, but they bl..dy well don't. Has anyone tried a JOBD T46 ? Regards Keith

Best tv series ever!

Good looking car but not good to drive. "What car" gave it 2 star rating.

Like you say for £100 you can't really go wrong

If you want it to last you need to get them powder coated

Have you got the front Brembo calipers for sale? I PM'd you but you didn't reply

Thanks all for your help

Are grooved discs "handed". Some say they should be fitted so they throw out the brake dust and others say the complete opposite that they should be fitted to "collect" air.

Thanks for the reply, please let me know if you decide to sell
