Maybe it has been cleaned with something abrasive?

Car is going to look great. I don't like the super shiny wraps though. The dark red looks more like a cheap Christmas decoration than a nice deep, candy red paint job.

Ive met many, many rich idiots. Most rich people are old money. Some would argue only a idiot would spend £130k on a family car. Especially one with dodgy build quality that will date very quickly. Technology on these will move just as fast as with phones and laptops in a few years.

Daytime TV, shopping with the Mrs and internet porn.

Manchester is not the cheapest place to insure a car. A Nun would pay more than £182 to insure a Z in Manchester.

I use Axa/ swiftcover. They don't allow mods though.

Do the US style front plate holders use the same mounting points as the UK ones? I have a 5 digit reg and want a smaller front plate. Thanks

Pics look really good mate. Ill get some pics of the light scratches up to see what you think.

I appreciate the offer but I'm not brave enough.

Has anyone ever had or heard a Milltek exhaust with the mid pipe muffler removed? Ive bought one as its in excellent condition, the mid pipe muffler was professionally removed and the price was fair. The seller said it sounded great on his car and wasn't too loud. I thought I'd take a chance on it, now I'm wondering how loud it will be? Thanks

That is not going to be a cheap fix unless it's bodged. Ive seen cars written off for less.

I'm in the same position as you. I've done less miles. Sometimes I think about selling but I know I'd miss it and want to replace it with something much more expensive. The other thing that convinces me to keep it, is that it's not really depreciating. If it was a newer car I couldn't justify how little I use it. That's the great thing about having a z roadster as a second car. I am thinking of selling when my lease runs out on my daily, and replacing 2 cars with a quick practical one. Probably a CP M3.

Mine had 75bhp The GTE and GSI were the hot ones. I bought a Sr because it was in insurance group 5. Id take a rs 1800 or RS turbo over a xr21.

I used to cruise around in mine with my kenwood base box and amp in my boot. I remember thinking I was better than the peco brigade with my magnex exhaust The good old max power days. I sold it to buy a mk5 escort rs2000. Woke up one morning at my girlfriends, and found that some @&*^ had taken the front and rear bumpers, side skirts and wheels (mim rafinos with yoko tyre). I was surprised they left the bonnet and seats. They left a big hole in the drivers door too.

Sorry I'm missed your reply. I'm in tameside. The car came back from its mot test with a few light scratches that weren't there before, that are really annoying.

I had a f reg white one with a momo gear knob and a magnex back box. I loved it more than any car I've had. I was 18 and I'd wanted one since I was 13.

Petrol smell could be the fuel pump seal. Seems a easy fix. I'm going to have a go at mine myself. I happen be a BMW fan who ended up with a 350z by accident. Nothing wrong with BMW. I'm considering getting rid of my daily and my Z for a F80 M3.

The way cars are going upsets me greatly. I have a 2016 XC60 D5 polestar as a daily. I've had it from new and I like it a lot. It even sounds ok for a diesel and has 240bhp. It's well spec'd for the price, so I thought I'd try the new xc90. The one the press raves about. I was horrified as soon as it started. The D5 is no longer a 2.4, 5 cylinder......its a cheap, tinny, noisey 4 pot diesel in a car that costs nearly £55k. It sounds like it belongs in a £20k golf. Any lab tests that say it's more efficient/enviro friendly than the old engine are rubbish in the real world. It struggled to move such a big car and the driving experience was awful. It was woefully underpowered, mpg must be awful for anyone who attempts to drive one "enthusiastically". There is no V6 option, just s ridiculously over priced hybrid model for rich hipsters. I personally despise the idea of driving and ev, although I do appreciate they have come along way. No doubt the ridiculously expensive ones are brutally quick in a straight line, but they weigh too much to be fun to drive. Ill get one when I have no choice, but not before then.

Lockwood are great, but they're not keen on fitting used parts. They just mot'd my car.

I think if this had more/better sound clips it would be gone already. Might be be worth temporarily fitting to a Z just to get some?

Devastated for the guy. Driving it home. That's awful. This is could happen to 99% of drivers who have never drove a mid engined super car before. He can be forgiven for being excited and getting carried away. Doubt he'll forgive himself though.

Wow. Some of you guys spend a lot of money on your Z's.

Cost of ownership is the only thing stopping me. They do hold their value though so that kind of offsets it......man maths.

Nissan dealers should have a master key. You can't identify by looking at it. It's like a key hole. All look similar.
