GMballistic

Well I managed to get a copy of "Project Cars" for my PS4 from eBay (£22 odd including delivery) as I wanted to see for myself plus I have no other games apart from MGSV so needed something to break it up a bit. So far I have encountered no problems whatsoever. I'm playing the game offline and am currently racing in the GT5 category of cars after completing the Renault Clio Championships yesterday. The graphics are great and I find the handling so far to be good although the Clio did seem a bit too eager for the rear end to step out. Definitely glad I decided to give it a go as I missed having a driving game.

Welcome aboard James.

Good luck with the new Zed Buster.

Welcome aboard Rob. Obvious differences between UK & JDM Zeds are things like the number plates being square on the JDM Zeds, speedometers in kph (also limited to 112mph), badged as a "Fairlady" (instead of 350Z) and also they usually have aftermarket rear fog lights on the JDM versions as it is a UK legal requirement but not so in Japan. There are though lots more differences (I believe there where 4 different specs of JDM Zeds available in Japan) including things like headlight washers to different spec brakes etc ~ have a read of this thread for some more info: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/1648-the-differences-spec/

Try zmanalex to see if he can help you with all the parts you need. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/user/9648-zmanalex/ Re: the misted headlights> depending on how bad that is it can usually be fixed using a "Meguiars headlight restoration kit" available from places like Halfords.

Definitely a cheaper option if you're a bit strapped for cash. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/102452-headlight-restoration/#entry1540806

^^ Exactly what I was thinking. If the Toyo's are like new still then they should sell easily enough especially if you don't mind dropping the price a bit from the new cost.

Welcome aboard.

When I say return it to them I mean for them to keep and refund you your money if you can get them to do that. Oh and it was a nightmare ~ loved my Subaru as it was truly a car I had always wanted since being a child and had watched Colin McRae & later Richard Burns drive in the WRC's. Unfortunately it had a catalogue of things go wrong with it during my ownership despite pouring all my love, attention & money into it. That is the way sometimes though.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard Jeff. As one of my old mates would say it's not ginger, ...it's strawberry blonde.

Very sad story and I've actually been in a similar situation myself in the past. The situation that I found myself in was quite some years ago now when I purchased a my96 JDM Impreza from a small trader. The engine went a few weeks after I had bought it (big end failure due to oil starvation after the oil pump failed) and after doing a very similar thing to what Ekona (Dan) has suggested, with all things said & done I ended up getting a measly £500 from the trader towards what ended up being a £4.5K rebuild. In hindsight although I loved the car (just like you seem to with the Zed) and didn't want to let it go the best thing I could have done was outright reject the car and get as much as, if not a full refund from the trader. That car cost me literally thousands & thousands and even after the rebuild things went wrong again & again including the engine which went some 12K miles/2 years later (this time due to a thrown conrod which went through the block). Imo I'd try to get the garage to accept liability for the car and if you can return the car to them in its current state asap. Then using the money you get back try to find another Zed you can love just as much.

Done. (free bump Ben )

Yep it's not always about the numbers, ...just how it drives afterwards is the main bit so if you're happy that's all that matters.

Welcome aboard Dan. Try zmanalex on here for the bumper or keep an eye out in the for sale section. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/user/9648-zmanalex/ The trading post area: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/14-the-trading-post/

Hard to tell from the slightly blurry image but just cracked 300 then? Pretty good then. Maybe post the results in the "dyno" thread if you like. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/23450-dyno-results-info-thread/page__st__160#entry1529796

Welcome aboard, ....get some pictures up of the old Boxster & its replacement if you can (Photobucket works best).

Ohhh they look nice. Going to look even nicer contrasting against the lovely purple of your Zed.

That made me think of this meme which seems relephant considering the story Stu...

Welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard.

Congratulations.

Either will do the job although I believe when brand new the GT spec is the more expensive of the two, ...better see how much Ian wants for his fast and grab a bargain then. Seriously though Op I have bought off Ian before & he's a good seller.

Got you but the way you worded it made it sound like the CREE LED's get rid of the orange glow, ...which they don't as I've just said and you too it's the Silvertec bulbs that get rid of that. No worries either way.

Are you sure? Few on eBay and this company states they have 6 available when I last looked. Link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-Fairlady-350Z-3-5-2003-Rear-Lower-Bar-Rear-Member-Brace-/371418001776?hash=item567a3cf170 Hope that helps.
