  1. This. I've got them on mine and would recommend them for general driving in the zed along with Brembo pads... They look the muts nuts and do a more than adequate job at stopping, all without breaking the bank!
  2. saw this car for sale the other day, its really cheap and I don't understand why just based on some O2 sensor faults... even if you stick the £650 on it which he claims is what will sort it, it's still a cheap car!
  3. sorry for being a total noob, but what sort of work is involved in sorting out the lacquer so they're all in great condition?
  4. 75k here and no receipts to show the clutch has been changed... don't expect to have to change it for a while to be honest!

    looks great mate
  6. Thanks for the good comments guys! I appreciate it! I got it from cleanyourcar awhile ago and used the code DAS6GROUPBUY for discount... not sure if it will still work though
  7. Some of you may have seen me post a few weeks ago about all the holograms all over my car. If you hadn't... the best picture I've got is this... You can see them on the rear quarter in that picture but take my word for it that they were like that but ALL over the car, just in vertical lines and any time the car was in direct sunlight it was all I could see! So, I posted in the detailing section here with what product I already had and what I should do... So I'd like to say THANK YOU to everyone in that thread who helped! I bought a pad that was recommended to me, read the articles that were suggested, watched videos on Youtube and read around some other forums etc. I then practised using the machine polisher on a spare Saxo bonnet I had lying around (I've never even had a Saxo... Don't ask!) and was a bit cautious using it on my zed at first but I don't know what I was worried about now... the DAS 6 Pro is really a great bit of kit! I washed it, clayed it, gave it a wash down again and then got out my machine polisher... going over it with just M205 and a Lake Country HydroTech finishing pad I was really pleased with how it was turning out! The paint was in pretty good condition anyway which is why I didn't bother going for any real cut... maybe next time! After polishing it up the plan was to stick a layer of Collinite 476 on, but then this happened.... I had finished machine polishing it and doing the last few bits by about 2 minutes when the heavens opened! It was 9pm by this point though and I had been at it for around 5 hours (with a quick dinner break) so decided to call it a night. Side note: Did this all take me way too long or is that normal? Next morning I made sure the paintwork was clean again, just going over it with some water and a bit of quick detailer then dried it off. Started using the Collonite 476 with a foam applicator pad and a microfibre to buff off, took around an hour to do the whole car and was surprisingly easy to apply considering all the stuff I'd read on the internet about it being a pig to put on and buff off! So, the finished result! I'm really happy with how it turned out, I know I haven't really 'corrected' the paint because I just went straight to a finishing polish but that wasn't my aim this time... I just wanted to get a feel for using the polisher but mainly to get rid of those hideous holograms which I'm very pleased to say have now gone
  8. Thanks for the replies everyone! I'll sit down tomorrow night with my girlfriend and go through a few of these places and try to come up with a plan... I think we will do Scotland another year when we have more time so we can fully appreciate it!
  9. I'm looking to have a weekend away with my girlfriend in the next couple of months and I like the idea of driving somewhere scenic and with good driving roads without going abroad. I was thinking North Wales or Peak District type places but was wondering if any of you have any recommendations on good routes/hotels/things to do along the way from your own experiences?
  10. Thanks for the heads up! looks like the dynamic experience day is all booked up now though
  11. Take the money and think of it as doing somebody a favour... they'll buy a decent car from Junction 17 and not a @*!# one!
  12. Looks like they are 114.3 x 5 so they should be fine
  13. I know it feels wrong to sell it to them but they are giving me what I was expecting to get for it and I've had it up on here and pistonheads for a month I'm struggling cos it's not gtí ½í¸° Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'd take the money personally, if it's what you wanted for it and you have been struggling to get rid it's not worth hanging on to it for any longer
  14. Knew this wouldn't take long, well done on the quick sale!
  15. Yeah its the V1 kit but with a V2 spoiler... I'm just off Banner Lane... What exhaust have you got?
  16. Yep that's the one... good to see somebody else local! You don't live on Charter Ave do you? I see one the same colour as yours parked there most mornings.
  17. Nah was a silver 350, I'm surprised I've never actually seen Chizzz around in his 370
  18. Where are you located mate? EDIT: Just noticed Ogman has also asked!
  19. Right at the back car park in Cannon Park, I was there with a friend after going Tesco trying to decide where to go to eat! Probably looked like we were just loitering! Sounded good!
  20. Don't forget to add this category for the 350:- https://www.howmanyl..._gran_turismo_4 And this list too as there is a gap between 350 & z!!! https://www.howmanyl...le/nissan_350_z Good spot, wish they would clean their lists up a bit! (the GT4 one makes sense though)
  21. https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/nissan_350z According to that there are around 5.5k on the road... Not many at all when you think about it!
  22. I purchased mine from these guys, turned up in good time... no extra charges because it's already paid for... works a treat!
  23. Amy will have sent you the info if your car got accepted, although if she hasn't sent you the info but said you were accepted... id send her a PM
