  1. Love those, had the same tyres on my last set of aftermarket wheels and they were decent and very quiet.
  2. the extra track really helps lift the overall look of the Z33 i feel, great mod - keep the updates coming big or small
  3. ^ and park in the MD's spot!! he's never in anyways LOL
  4. Holiday dont mean Holiday, it just means time away from work in effect. That scheme is in place but ring fenced for each department as there are people in each department all in the same boat now without a space. Possible in the summer months when people tend to have more time off work, but not so much in Feb & March Yes train would be a pain you're right eek
  5. I guess i just had it good for a while and no sadly i dont. The place thats been offer'd looks awful, so i doubt il be using the Zed much if at all in the week. Its one of those topics whereby i cant opening speak about it at work as there not car lovers and a car is a means of transport and thats it. Whats special to one person, isn’t special to another and more value doesn’t mean more special. Least on a saturday i can park on the main car park in front of our building ay.
  6. Fuel economy stuffers in cold weather due to cold start ups and the length of time it takes the engine to reach correct opperation temp.
  7. It's purely on length of service and with the two buildings coming into one, there's now a load more people that have been with the bank over me. Yes RIP lol Landlord won't allow the trees and edges to be dug out sadly, were stupidly over subscribed in the build - just sadining as I in a way initially held of from buying a 350z until I got the spot too.
  8. I had the same problem, on a run my mpg drop'd significantly which was as a result of a split vacuum hose causing the ECU to run rich to save the engine.
  9. This was my space, about as perfect as a work spot could be. Next to my mate who has a 5 door and understands how to open a car door haha It is just a car and I wish I could honestly treat it like, that but we are who we are. To alternate would leave someone with a trek up the road which isn't really fair on them either. Always could be worst, who likes change right.
  10. Wow many replies, totally unexpected.
  11. I do pass Sandra on the way, but she goes home every lunch time to let the dog out argh!! Can't jack in lol
  12. Using this to kinda vent and put pen to paper my sadness. Not looking for a solution as I don't think there's one as yet but would be interested to know if anyone else is having to go through something similar either now or in the past. So today at work my line manager pulls me to one side and goes, "with all the changes in the building (all the same company not shared, but merger of another sister building) it's sad but you've lost your spot on the car park. But there is parking at a local public car park for you with a barrier pass which is a 40mins walk round trip" It's previously taken me 7 years to get a spot outside the building and to receive this new is sad. No way am i parking my Zed at a public car park every day as it's out of sight and very much away from the road in a non commercial or residential space whereby knowing my luck the worst could happen. I obv I rather not put myself through that as that's all that'll be on my mind. So a car that previously did less that 5k per annum, is now likely to do 2k at most. I will park there but use my Nissan Sunny beater alot more yay. Like most other dad's on here you work all week and come the weekend you want to spend time with the family. I have two young girls 4 and 2 and it's the highlight of my life being with them on a weekend. As during the week I get home and it's play for a bit, bath, brush teeth and bed. Come the weekend when we all go out anywhere it's in the Mrs car which is perfectly geared up for this and again I don't use the 350z of a weekend much either other than actual drives out or car shows and meets. It's going to be a damn shame to leave it parked up at home all day every day as I just love driving it so much. To the extent that I often go the long way to work effectively doubling the distance. Thank you forum for giving me a media to vent and get stuff of my mind.
  13. If the garage jet wash gets busy, try going late evening is what I do Citrus pretty wash 10.1 Small wheel brush to work the alloys Jet wash off Dry as you drive This should keep you going as a safe contactl less wash
  14. Have a go on DMax Karts in Tamworth, major throttle & brake control needed. Ive done a fair bit of karting and never have i felt a kart be so loose on the back end until the tyres warmed up!! Every corner you could slide from using too much throttle.
  15. What do you do about finding super unleaded where you are? easy enough to find..... Lovely motor!!
  16. What time is best to try and get there for? Ive never been to a SS, so it'll be all new for me.
  17. Anyone else going Sunday Service next Sunday? http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=229&t=1652976
  18. It not right for a customer to walk in and out of the workshop let say unsupervised, if something heavy were to fall on the customers foot or worst the garage is liable - this will never change and shouldn't. The customer is not insured to be there, simples. Going off topic a tiny bit also.
  19. Dont get overly caught up on mileage, condition matters more. GLWS
  20. Hell Citroen's new C3 comes with a built-in dashcam
  21. I think garages/technicians need to accept year on year more and more cars are having trackers and dash cams fitted, to which they need to sort their acts out. Be respectful towards other peoples stuff and if not accept the potential repercussions. Main dealer that we deal with on a daily basis. Now video the the work they do and vehicle healt checks and post these online for the customer to view, so this tosh about tools and safety is rubbish. If anything cameras can actually safe gaurd the garages. Speed camera on the drivers way home after visiting the garage, then states this was done whilst with the garage. His dash cam IF left plugged in could prove the tech was never even on that peiece of road.
