  1. Hi Guys Just bought a 350Z and I'm absolutely in love with it. Its a 2006 with all the lovely facelift bits (And sadly the facelift tax!) I've noticed the last service stamp in the book was from 2012 meaning (Obviously) that there is nothing for 2013. All of the major work seems to have been completed in 2012 also, Bushes being swapped etc but theres basically nothing for 2013 Its a 2006 with Nearly 60,000 on the clock and I should of picked up on this and asked the dealer to service it but I was so excited I forgot. Theres no service spanner on the odometer but I'm not sure if thats the place its supposed to show, I spent the first few days trying to reset the mileage thing by turning the interior lights up and down. Basically what I'm saying is, I cant see a 'Service me now' warning or Spanner, I'm also a spanner and I'm not sure if its been serviced since mid 2012 I was told these things can chew up some oil, Checked the oil and its brimmed so... Maybe its been serviced and not stamped? Should I just service it anyway and get that stamp? Also should I just do the full works service? Any rough estimations if I go for the daddy of all services at an independant? We talking like £400? Sorry for all the questions, I just want to treat her right!
  2. Just bought a face-lift that was made in June. After driving her for 2 days I'd pay it all over again Sent from my One using Tapatalk
  3. I'll keep this in mind. I live in caldicot but I don't mind travelling Sent from my One using Tapatalk
  4. Where is this. Reminds me of the Isle of Man (sorry If it is, it's been a while) Everyone misjudges things but that was a really stupid move! Sent from my One using Tapatalk
  5. If that lambo was police paramedic or firemen they have two distinct advantages to highlight their incoming presence. Huge loud sirens to alert you. And the at generally higher up or equal height to other cars. Granted the mazda was a bit of an idiot but I've seen loads on these videos on YouTube now and it's all hypercars Driving at 60+ through London Sent from my One using Tapatalk

  8. This is amazing. I picked up the car Saturday I spent feckin ages adjusting the brightness instead of resetting the Odom. Is it on one of the stalks? I feel like such an idiot. The first day I had it I couldn't start it back up Word to self, Depress clutch.
  9. Threads like this make me really nervous. Not sure what I'd do if my engine went bang. Dont think I could afford it!
  10. I have a somewhat interesting story. I had a Ibiza Cupra, I declared all of the modifications that came on it. I swapped from Adrian Flux to Admiral after a house move, Adrian flux wanted to take my premium from £1000 a year to £2400 a year. They then dropped it by £1000 when I kicked off but I still swapped to Admiral. About half way through my Policy I'd had a call regarding a 'Dump Valve' I informed them that I don't have a dump valve I have a re circulation valve and it was replaced by an aftermarket piece because the original had failed. I was told that my insurance was invalid because they WOULD NOT COVER power modifications... I argued because I had remap declared, Exhaust system, Battery in the boot, Spacers, Huge Jetex cone filter and a Carbon fiber enclosure for aforementioned filter and all of these things were covered. I was told there and then my insurance was invalid and not to drive the car until I'd sent them a signed receipt stating the modification had been removed. I argued a few more times and eventually gave up. So there I was... 300 miles from my house, About to catch a ferry to the isle of man with the Car club for a weekend away, I 'replaced it' But seriously, I despise these companies if it doesn't enhance the performance or alter the external looks to an extreme degree you shouldn't have to list it. Its just another way for them to siphon money from you!
  11. I'm very new to the Jap scene. and not knowledgeable to exhausts at all, How come your exhaust has a fake ... tailpipe on each side? Does it cut down on noise or something... Sorry to sound stupid!
  12. I'm a bit of a way away but thank you very much for the offer of a cuppa! Living in South Wales at the moment but shes a beaut!
  13. Afternoon. Don't happen to have a picture of the tear in the seat do you from both a distance and relativly close up. Just to see the size Cheers!
  14. This still up for sale by any chance? I'm about to go and ask my boss for a company car and if so... Well this is gorgeous.
  15. Take 6k. As someone in the Market for a new 350z its more than most would be willing to offer myself included. 6K isn't an unreasonable offer.
  16. I had this same issue with Flux. I moved from a Quiet area into the City I went from paying (Sorry american keyboard) $1000 a year to $2400 When i called them up and explained I might aswell cut my losses and move home they said 'Wait there a moment' went away and came back $1400 instead? I basically told them to do one, Pulling figures out of the air like that and dropping it by $1000! Went back to Admiral and got insured for $960! Moved back out of Cardiff now but... Wow!
  17. Taking her to the US with you? It will cost you a small fortune to take it with you and they are REALLY common over there! Sent from my One using Tapatalk
  18. Wow she's beautiful. I really hope I get my payrise soon because I want this bad. Sent from my One using Tapatalk
  19. I really like the look of your 350Z in its prime. I can see when I eventually do get my 350Z it will be a bit of a money pit!
  20. Gorgeous car. Been keeping an eye on this one. What do you guys mean 'In its prime'
  21. I'll be honest, I've not been a passenger nor driver of a 350Z yet. I've booked in for a test drive this weekend but I've had one chase me round the track, User might be a member on here, generally goes by the name of Jables who I believe was running a supercharged 350z last time I checked. I've sat in one on a Dyno but thats about it! Travelling costs might be an issue, I'm doing 80 miles at the moment (Per Day) I'd be interested to know what a Z does @ 60mpg mpg wise. Ideally I'm wanting the Mrs to take the Leon off my hands and let me have the Z. She only works 3 days a week normally weekends which means Monday to thursday I drive the Diesel and on the friday I drive the Z!
  22. Hi Thanks for the reply, What do you mean by night and day? The difference between the two fun wise? 2 seats are not too much of a problem, The mrs has a car, The dogs go in there... and I have about 3 friends. So I think we'll be okay!
  23. Thanks for the warm welcome. Gotta be sneaky sneaky as I'm in work at the moment. Car history: 1.2 Ibiza SX https://plus.google....partnerid=gplp0 1.9 Ibiza Sportrider 100bhp remapped to 150bhp https://plus.google....partnerid=gplp0 1.8T Ibiza Cupra (Loved this car) "253bhp" on the dyno lottery https://plus.google....partnerid=gplp0 http://rebelmotorspo...ndex.php?fid=45 1.8T Leon Cupra R "280+ on the dyno lottery http://rebelmotorspo...ndex.php?fid=59 https://plus.google.com/photos/107786105828841277641/albums/5771176519254407041?partnerid=gplp0 And now... 2.0 TDI Seat Leon FR 220bhp on the dyno lottery https://plus.google....partnerid=gplp0 The move to diesel is boring me and I mean REALLY boring me... and even though I'm doing alot of miles I might get a really crappy old car to do the miles in and buy the 350Z for everything else!
