Also fyi this is in the wrong section. Try having a look in here; http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/37-jdm-imports/

Didn't you get a manual with it? The ESC button is the on/off button for the "Electronic Stability Control" ~ stops the wheels spinning etc. The other button, ...well that could be anything. No idea on that one sorry.

Welcome aboard. Not sure about the MPG thing but I can get over 30 in my 2003 if I drive it like an old man. The felt lined drawer is for your business cards ~ failing that you can always remove it I believe and replace it with a cup holder from what I've read. Try a PM to Zmanalex on here to see if he has any cheap second hand cup holders. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/137-zmanalex/

Re-listed last few bits I have now at lower prices.

Great pics.

I had problems uploading pictures on here before ~ even after making them smaller & smaller it still wouldn't upload them. If I was you I'd just open a Photobucket account in order to host your pictures. I never had an account with them before but it really is fantastic & simple to use.

What about this one? Link: http://www.andysauto...dp00100674.html Reasonably priced too on that American site. Edit: Although yes I know the front lip look's like it's off a snow plow but still some people like that sort of thing.

Doesn't surprise me.

Great news and I'm sure you won't regret it.

Sounds good and I highly recommend the Cougar Store. I received great service from them when buying my alloy wheels from Mitz and lots of other members that have visited them rate them highly too. Use the Ferodo DS2500 pad's on my Zed and think they're great. Any pictures of the Zed then?

See Japfest is a good example ~ the problem with it as I see it is that there is a large audience of people there who are watching the drivers. This seems to make some people act like complete tools especially those that like to think of themselves as being in a race as appose to being on a track day. I'd never go on track at Japfest unless it was part of some Zed only laps with members of this forum who I know and trust to respect each others space & driving lines not to mention cars.

Welcome aboard. If you do plan on modifying it then there are plenty of great traders on here to help you get the parts you want at reasonable prices. Traders here; http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/93-professional-traders/ Second hand & more here: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/14-the-trading-post/

That's part of the problem with track days some of the time imo. I remember being on Castle Combe once back when I was tracking a Corsa Sport I owned and used as my daily driver. There was this guy in an 80's Audi that barely looked like it could pass it's MOT. This guy was driving around the circuit like an absolute be**end most likely because he didn't care about his car. His track etiquette was terrible and he tried out breaking me into a few corners before eventually he lost it at the Esses and went side ways across the grass almost T-boning another car as he tried to regain control. So often I see people (not saying you or Ekona) that turn up at circuits in their cheap track day sheds thinking they are race drivers who then proceed to drive that car as hard as they can often resulting in them running out of talent and losing control. Sometimes they get lucky and it's just a spin but other times it results in damage to their cars or themselves and occasionally innocent parties.

I'd rather have yours tbh.

I thought this initially, looking at the pics as the pipes look like they've been cut/snapped off? í ½í¸„ It's how a lot of "breakers" strip car's. They just cut straight through the brake pipes rather than faff around trying to undo them.

Nah should just glue back together ok. Seriously though as Almeida said I'd get a service kit for them whilst they're off and have them rebuilt for peace of mind & resprayed for aesthetics.

^^ That definitely does look better than this... ^^ That was in Cardiff yesterday btw. No sexy women either.

It is definitely wet here in Wales today.

Are these new alloy's coming with tyres then pjf1985? I know what it's like waiting for alloys ~ got my Rotas from CS who had to get them imported from the US which took over a month or so to arrive. Still it's all the more exciting when you do get them.

At least it's a good looking car still.

No not as far as I'm aware.

You only had the Zed 5 minutes. BM look's nice btw. As Ekona mentioned though not really designed to be a quick car.

The angle of that slide it was never coming back imo no matter who was driving and it was just unlucky that there was enough momentum to carry it all the way to the gravel trap which ultimately caused it to roll over. Glad they weren't injured in that crash.
