  1. Are these the ones; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-Nissan-60mm-Alloy-Wheel-Centre-Hub-Caps-Micra-Note-Qashqai-Juke-X-Trail-350z-/231243905517?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyre_Trims_Trims_ET&hash=item35d735f9ed ?? Plenty on eBay if you take a look but there are different sizes so check the size of yours first.
  2. A lot of them do I'd agree, not all, but most.
  3. What was the outcome Will? They red flagged the race, put out the safety car, and kicked the idiots out of the circuit.. !! Believe the girl was taken to the medical centre, no idea why. ?. Here's one for you..School day at Brands fifteen to twenty cars out, when I'm hammering down the pit straight with a pupil in the car and I find Mum, Dad and Kid's heading up the circuit towards the pit straight in a Saab convertible as we are heading towards them at over a ton. Red lights, brown trousers, everybody missed them, they got onto the circuit via the paddock . ambulance gate without realising they were on the circuit...Believe me they are out there..!! :scare: The girl was probably suffering from shock imo. Absolutely disgusting that they did that especially when you can hear how terrified she was. Idiots are all around us unfortunately Will.
  4. From this link; http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/53047-how-to-post-pictures-via-photobucket/
  5. F**king wa**ers. Felt sorry for the girl a bit ~ really hope she isn't going out with one of those prize tools. Hopefully she's seen sense now and has nothing to do with those two idiots.
  6. Ok so you have a photobucket account? Yes And you have uploaded a picture from your computer to Photobucket? Yes Then all you need to do is have two tabs open ~ one for Photobucket and one for this forum. Then on here you go to the "reply to this topic" box at the bottom of the page on this thread. (click your cursor in it so the icons appear) You'll see an icon that looks like a polaroid picture. Hover over it and it will say "image". Click on that. Then go to your other tab and in Photobucket click on the "direct link" next to the picture you want to post. It will copy the link for you. Then go back to this forum and the "image" tab and paste the link into the "image" url box. Click "Ok" and then press post on the reply box. You should see your picture appear in the thread then. Hope that's clear.
  7. ON 350Z UK: Go to the reply box and you'll see an icon that looks like a polaroid picture. Hover over it and it will say "image". Click on that ~ then when in Photobucket click on the "direct link" next to the picture you want to post. It will copy the link for you. ON 350Z UK: Then paste that link into the "image" url box and click "Ok". Then post the picture. Job done. I've been using photobucket few years now ...your above "how to photobucket" I am confused Is that easier to make sense of. Hope so. Just did it myself to check all works ok. Picture of my Zed below with my old wheels on:
  8. Totally agree and I wasn't clear but I meant responsiveness from a standing start where there isn't any air flowing through as the cars not moving. Either way I agree with you ~ just can't see it making 15bhp more just from those filters.

  10. http://www.350z-uk.c...-photos-thread/ Tit Well in my defence that didn't show on the "new content" so I've only just seen it. I just assume everyone clicks "Cougar Store" to get here because I've never used the new content bit. So I take my boob back Thanks. I try not to click "Cougar Store" as I know it could end up making me spend more money.
  11. That's sensible is it? I'd rather the V8 if it was me. Good luck with the car hunt. Cheers.....will probably need all the luck i can get. The "sensible" bit just means they have four seats. Wife has just piped up and says she likes 997s....cause they are cute Youngest boy wants a Camero in yellow!!! (yes like bumblebee), while the oldest lad doesn't care as he won't get insured for it anyway. Back to pistonheads. Sounds like you've got to please more than just yourself then. Good luck with the search, ...sounds like you'll need it.
  12. Just found this thread that you may find useful. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/35395-aftermarket-steering-wheels/ Hope that helps.
  13. +1. I had to get a Photobucket account and I'm glad I did. Free to join and very easy to use. Link: http://s273.photobucket.com/

  15. Great pictures ~ looks like a good turn out too.
  16. The thing I think about is the heat soak. Yes they saw a gain on the dyno with the bonnet open and fresh air being blown in by a giant fan but I'd love to see the difference it would make on the road once the engine is hot & with the bonnet shut. I'd imagine it would lose hp and probably be no way near as responsive as the Stillen intakes which have urethane boxes surrounding the filters in order to stop them sucking in loads of hot air from the engine bay. Quote from Stillen;
  17. It's a Morgan Aero coupe. Never seen one in person so that's a pretty cool spot Humpy. Link: http://www.topgear.com/uk/morgan/aero/road-test/coupe-driven
  18. Ltd to 155mph and a near as dam it 6 sec 0 - 60, lol, no not fast at all Spursmd playing devils advocate with 350's again, well there is something new Just trying to add the voice of reason I would say 0-60 is about standard for a hot hatch these days, that was my point. I wouldn't say a voice of reason. More like poke the bear and run. Imo the 350Z is a fast car but you are right there are some hot hatches today that would easily keep up or even over take, ...but they are fast cars too. Back in 1964 Aston Martin made the DB5 ~ 0-60mph in 8.6 seconds and 142mph top end. In it's day a fast car but by today's standards most normal hatchbacks would beat it. Still a classic car though.

    Blue hoses

    Few traders on here that can help you out if you look in the traders section. For example the Cougar store; http://cougarstore.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_11&zenid=bcaa60565806895c2c0f2d2ff1b32aee Try sending them a PM on here to see what price you can get them for.

    Blue hoses

    Samco silicone hoses are great and probably the best but you could also get Viper which I've had before or Mishimoto. Depends what it's for? There are ready made kits available for the 350Z if your after coolant hoses etc but if it's just for a custom cold air intake or similar then there are other cheaper silicone hose manufacturers that would do the job. For example; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Auto-Performance-Silicone-Hoses/ASH-Silicone-Hoses-Tubes-/_i.html?_fsub=450466019 Mishimoto hoses; http://www.mishimoto.co.uk/nissan-350z-silicone-hose-kit-radiator-03.html Hope that gives you some options.
