  1. Thinking about it, I'm normally snug in an xl size, despite being a slim build. Plus I'm a little over 6ft, will this fit?
  2. I'd be interested in this. You anywhere near London as if so I'd do a pick up?
  3. FWIW I've just sold my 54 plate, completely standard GT model with the same mileage as yours for £7k on the nose asking price. FSH etc. Mine was a very well looked after example and the guy saw three on the day he saw mine and so had a good steer (scuse the pun). He was the first person to view mine actually. Was on autotrader for three weeks at 7,350 and no interest, then dropped it and sold within a day or two. I've personally never understood the 3-4k premium on the HR model against DEs with the same mileage and condition.
  4. That's a shame, I'm down in London, couldn't get much further away.
  5. Whereabouts are you located? Wasn't even looking for a new 350 but that looks the nuts and so might be tempted to upgrade
  6. Could this be easily sprayed gun metal grey if done correctly?
  7. I was ringing up about this car when I was looking about two months back. Got a dodgy feeling about it tbh. The guy claims he spends his time between the cotswolds and London, it turned out I lived half a mile from him in North London. Long story short, I never even got to see the car, lots of last minute cancelled viewings with reasons such as working late etc.
  8. Any reason why bhp had dropped as low as 225? Surely that can't be typical?
  9. Thanks for the welcome all Cheers for this, gives me a reference point for when I speak to them
  10. Fwiw and based on standard unleaded only (when I had my fiesta st), I found sainsburys fuel quite poor for economy. Also, I used a local independent on two occasions out of necessity to fill up and the car always struggled to turn over in the mornings but was otherwise faultless with other fuels
  11. Resurrecting a very old thread I know, but has any firm solution been found in terms of getting new keys aside from going through nissan? I bought my zed on Saturday with just the one key. I know a code is needed, but I seem to have a four digit number on a random piece of paper, five digit code in the back of the owners manual and some 8/9 number code on a card with a nissan logo saying use this if a new key is needed. All very confusing
  12. Having bought my 350z only on Saturday morning, big thanks to the forum for all the guides, advice and informed comments that steered me to hopefully a great example of the car (also thanks to whacky will for him letting me chew his ear off). It's a 2004 model, grey, standard aside from a filter, with 50,000 miles, Full service history at nissan and then abbey motorsport so all the signs are good. I know the seller lurked on the forums for advice and owned the car since 2008 so again seems to be solid. Picked up the car first thing Saturday and drove it straight to the cotswolds for the weekend, loved it, big step up from my mk6 fiesta st. Very planted on the road, balanced response to the handling and although not a rocket very consistent through the revs. My only questions are, since I only have the one key, is nissan the best place to go for a new one, rather than risk coding one off ebay and wiping the original? Also, are there any easy things to do to get back to stock bhp? Knowing the car is 11 years old and low mileage for age, i imagine it will be 15bhp lower than out the factory. I will get some pics up later tonight
  13. Lovely white 370 heading from Stroud towards Painswick in the cotswolds. You were first zed owner I've seen since I picked my car up yesterday and you flashing me gave me a big grin.
  14. Ok that's a DE rev up facelift model though why it's on a 08 plate I'm not sure ! Were these not phased out mid 07? Is it a late registered model or not actually an 08 car?
