  1. After 4500 miles commuting to and from work, I've realised I never use my zed for anything else. The mrs doesn't like being a passenger in it so we use her car whenever we go out. So, I've decided to sell the zed.

     

    2007 HR GT. Usual GT extras, sat nav with 2013 maps.

     

    47,700 miles as of 9 August, but in daily use at 37 miles.

    New OE clutch at 43112 miles

    Front discs and pads at 43347 miles

    Service book stamped at 9854, 25239, 33893, 39368, 40687, 43347

    MOT 1 October

    HPI clear

     

    Only modification is clear bumper reflectors. (No, not even a stubby!)

     

    Nice clean example. Usual stone chips, and grazed one front wheel a couple of weeks ago but not badly (see linked pic)

     

    It's one lady owner to 43000 miles, then me. Just been a daily driver all it's life so it hasn't had a hard life.

     

    Located in Dinnington, Sheffield.

     

    £10,250

     

    Sorry I'm not sure how to resize pics in the post so I've only added a few. Here are links to more:

  2. Cameras are allowed now. The track is nowhere near as bad as it's made out to be. Don't drive like a tool and give yourself time to learn where it goes and you'll have no issues.

  3. We always stay here http://www.hotel-wilhelmshoehe.de/

     

    The owner Jackie is English and really friendly, and her German husband Ulrich makes cracking food. The hotel and gardens are nice and they sell Bitburger which I love. It's 10-15 minutes from the ring but the roads to get there are great.

     

    Last year we went for a short trip for just 2 days so we tried the Hotel an der Nordschleife in Adenau, thinking that it might be nice to stay closer the track. I'd wished we'd gone to Jackie's as usual as it's way better.

     

    I take my own car on track but I always hire a track car from these guys http://www.rent4ring.de/en/

     

    Their basic Suzuki swifts will embarrass plenty of so supposedly quicker cars, and they are perfect for learning the track before you go out in something with a lot more power.

  4. After weeks of spring lubing, then removing it all together, I've finally had a closer look at my clutch pedal clicking problem and found the source of my 'click'. It turns out it's not a click at all, but more of a tapping noise as the pedal strikes the down switch as it's pressed. The question now is, how to cure it?

  5. Haven't seen this posted before so just in case anyone else wants to do the same...

     

    The usual problem - broken at mid pipe to silencer joint, but loads of life left in the rest of the exhaust.

    The fix

    Easier than trying to weld rotten metal, and at a tenner for a clamp it's far cheaper than fitting a new exhaust that isn't really needed.

    Forum at the bottom of mine and totally legal :thumbs:

     

    Don't plates legally have to have the name and postcode of the dealer where the car was purchased or the name and postcode of the company who manufactured the plates?

     

    Mine does have the plate manufacturer details. Bottom right little black writing.

     

    The photo is not high enough resolution to read the text, but I assumed it was the BS number in the bottom right as required by law.

     

    Page 8 for anyone wishing to confirm - https://www.gov.uk/g...F104_160914.pdf

     

    Oops. I think you're right. Sorry.

     

    The slogan across the bottom makes them illegal. The border is too close to the letters too.

  7. I was curious what the average annual mileage tends to be for a 350Z. The national average is around 10-12k, but with a lot of zeds only bought as weekend toys I wouldn't have thought that it's that high across all the zeds out there. So, what's your car's average?

     

    Mine..

     

    Registered: June 2007

    Current mileage: 44300 miles

    Annualised average: 5900

  8. Well done bud, satisfying isn't it :)

     

    People should remember though, that just changing fluids and filters doesn't constitute a full service. There's a bit more to it than that. The car needs to be properly inspected for signs of wear and tear. The wheels need to come off, brakes inspected and cleaned up, wheel bearings checked, tyres checked etc etc. And just before anyone says otherwise, passing an MOT does not mean there are no faults with the car.
