  1. Yeah mine uses too ... 03 JDM 'DE - as she's not my daily, I haven't quite figured out how much - but I do check her each time (ish) and have had to top her up a smidge - maybe 1/4 ltr over 3>400miles - "spirited" ... though, I was getting an oil smell in the car and I figure I may not have gotten the dip stick home correctly when I checked her over/buying and used a bit there... Sounds high, but seems like your checking it regularly ... I've seen higher visc mentioned in a few threads, and thinking I might give that a whirl. (I've had mine 3 weeks)
  2. 100% read the buyers guide that these guys have put together, it's very comprehensive > http://www.350z-uk.c...26-buyers-guide this one > http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/22880-guide-for-new-memberspotential-buyers/ Invaluable when I went to see mine - I managed to knock £500 off the asking because she clicked and creaked (that's £500 off for a bit of needed grease!) Good luck, she's the best thing I've bought for ages..

    Seat covers

    Stunning .....
  4. no translation needed http://www.downvids.net/-quot-daar-wil-ik-wel-eens-op-kruipen-quot--564485.html It could have been a Z :)
  5. yeah, I get a strange jingle/rattle too, but on the back left - mine is almost like the ariel is hitting the side of the car (more like the window,glass sound) - AND, worse .... it's intermittent!! ... I'll find it, if I have to rebuild the whole car ... I'll find it!!
  6. have to add here ..... I bought the Zed based on looks, specification, price and modability! ... AND the fact - you don't see many about, and I like that ... then, it appears, slowly but surely, that Farnborough is swamped with them!!! :) I must have been walking around with my eyes shut!!
  7. I'm based in Farnborough too ... so interested in the responses you might get (also new Z owner) .. Someone recommended a local chap to me recently, and I will no doubt be meeting with him / them in the very near future as my trusted Indi isn't that local (Chertsey) www.jdmodified.com will make myself known to them shortly. Also, TGM as above have been recommended to me too, they're in Fleet. Search the forum for S2000 and you'll find the info you seek ..
  8. too ..... I look forward to begining to understand what exactly that all meant! ..... sounds V good though
  9. Just found this .... http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/33345-gt54-zed-nice-plate/ Slightly ambiguous I'll grant you :) Advert reads good to me, 9K a year, FSH, Recent Clutch, Brembo, Bose ... under £5K!! Well worth a look IMHO
  10. Was looking for a Z, and wanted to get as much info about them as possible .. and, as much help as I can about modding one - I'm not a mechanic, but can follow instructions :) Plus, meeting like minded souls, events, meets, road trips.
  11. there's nowt wrong with an import ...... (yet!) :) - good luck.
  12. October 5th right?... Yeah, I could be tempted for that
  13. I fell out with my Ins Co because they quoted me £600 FComp .... then they revised to £400, I still wasn't happy - but I took it, as I was stood on the forecourt with my new car waiting to drive her home and I am inpatient like that! There are some joys about being older :evil:
  14. I also really like this pretty clever
  15. I had the occasion to take a 4hr "speed awareness course" this year .....They opened up with "Reasons for Speeding" Answer ranged from, late for a meeting, didn't know the road, fast music, following the car in front, it was only 4mph over the limit, was having some fun etc etc ... The morning progressed, and it's amazing what, as a driver we DON'T actually know! (forgotten?) ... and I've spent 25+ years on a bike 24/7 and the past 8yrs in a car ... (that wont add up .... but that's another story all together) Like, when you signed for your drivers license, you probably didn't read all the small print - that bit saying you agree to keeping yourself up to date with the Highway code (about 70 changes in the past 12 months alone!!) They finished the day with THEN asked us, flipping back on the chart we started with - Which one of the excuses we gave would we use in a court of law - baring in mind if you do kill someone, it's not the Police but a Jury that you will have to convince .... Having said all that ..... I tend to drive / ride with what my friends and I call, the "Isle of Man Rules" ... if you've been there, you'll get it
  16. Two builders go into the pub after a hard day's work. They're sat drinking for a while when a very smartly dressed man walks in and orders a drink. The two began to speculate about what the man did for a living. "I'll bet he's an accountant." said the first builder. "Looks more like a stockbroker to me." argued the second. They continued to debate the subject for a good while until eventually the first builder needed to use the toilet. On walking in, he saw the smartly dressed man standing at a urinal. "Excuse me mate, but me and my friend have been arguing over what a smartly dressed fella like you does for a living?" the builder said to the man. Smiling the man replied, "I'm a logical scientist." "A what?" asked the builder. "Let me explain" the man continued, "Do you have a goldfish at home?" A bit puzzled, but intrigued the builder decided to play along, "Yes, I do as it happens." "Well then it's logical to assume that you either keep it in a bowl or a pond. Which is it?" "A pond" the builder replied. "Well then it's logical to assume that you have a large garden." The builder nodded his agreement. So the man continued, "which means it's logical to assume you have a large house." "I have a 6 bedroom house that I built myself." the builder said proudly. "Given that you have such a large house, it's logical to assume that you are married..." The builder nodded again, "Yes, I'm married and we have three children." "Then it's logical to assume that you have a healthy sex life." "Five nights a week!" the builder boasted. The man smiled a little, "Therefore it's logical to assume you don't masturbate often." "Never!" the builder exclaimed. "Well there you have it" the man explained, "That's logical science at work. From finding out that you have a goldfish, I've discovered the size of your garden, all about your house, your family and your sex life!" The builder left, very impressed by the man's talents. On returning to the bar the other builder asked, "I see that smart bloke was in there, did you find out what he does?" "Yeah," replied the first, "He's a logical scientist. "A what?" the puzzled second builder asked. "Let me explain" the first builder continued, "Do you have a goldfish at home?" "No" replied his mate. "Well, then you're a w4nker !"
  17. Fair .... I am put off I think with the previous comments, adding yours too - though, as writing - it occured to me I work for an American Co, and have loads of colleauges over there, maybe could have someone collect / check and then fedex me .. Hmmm food for thought! -
  18. Right, off that then!! - So as per OP, any decent? any reccomendations? Buster, where did you source yours?
  19. You're about to see one more often ! Moving to Farnborough or something? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Sorry .. I seemed to have missed this one! - nope, I already live here - near the harvester funnily enough!
