  1. Got side by side with him, jockeying for position, then he had to exit, so downshift floored it. Fun commute home
  2. Yes they did strike me as a valeting company at first too, but they do have the full detail option as well. Fair points made will have to judge when the works done, but I can't turn down a price like that. He said the curing happens over night and they would return the car the next day.
  3. Been using it the past year, works very well, keeps the phone in place, even during drifting. No adverse effects on my Iphone.
  4. Now all you need is one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00VTQEVZO/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=B00VTQEVZO&linkCode=as2&tag=mytwiacccarfo-21
  5. Yeh I did use Nick in Newbury for my wheels, but his full detailing price is a bit on the high side for me, but yeh his work is quality. I think for £250 I'll give em a try, it might be a case of you get what u pay for, it might not, will find out sure enough
  6. Gave these guys a call, i was impressed, he sounds like he knows his stuff. Their complete Detail includes, Inside valet Outside with engine steam clean, 1 stage machine polish, G-Techniq C1 and EXO sealant on body, wheels, and windows. Looking into G-Techniq, seems it is a ceramic and lasts 2-3 years the same as Cquartz does. I checked with my friend up north who personally knows a detailer that specialises in Exotic cars (http://tinyurl.com/jb5ulxn) and he only uses G-Techniq products so it must be good. Total price £250!! This seems much more reasonable, Their Facebook reviews are all positive aswell. They keep the car for a day and half and can collect and drop for additional £10. I'll give them a try closer to summer and post up pics FYI....looks like we might be getting some real cold temps and snow this month down here
  7. Any Experience? preferably an Authorised dealer of the Quartz stuff. Internet search led me to a few places, and it seems that i need to fork out around £400-600!!
  8. Icloud would also be another option, but it's costly. your icloud account is what you use for everything 'Apple' (download apps, buy from Itunes etc etc) With it, you get 5gb of free icloud storage. In Icloud setting on the phone I turn on, settings, Contacts, messages, notes, reminders, calendar. i also turn on 'find my iphone' so that if i loose my phone, I can login to icloud.com ans track it down. But as soon as you turn on Photo's you're most likely gonna need to upgrade to one of their monthly plans for more storage, but the benefit is your photo's/videos (and all the other stuff mentioned above) are all safe online so you save space on your device and even if you loose your phone you still have them all safe. Then if you buy another iphone you can login with your i cloud account on that device, and all your 'stuff' is back as it was before. The alternative free option is to back up your iphone to the Itunes program on your computer every month or so. And offload your photo's / videos's to your computer every now and then aswell (like once a year). This free's up space on your device aswell, and all your 'stuff' is safe (as long as your computer doesn't pack in). When you get a new Iphone you plug it into your computer and itunes will restore all your 'stuff' the way it was before. Both options do the same thing as you can see, one is just more convenient (Icloud) but you pay a price for it. Quick Tip: in your phone under icloud setting / photo's turn on 'My photo stream' this automaticly backs up all photo's and video's over the last 30 days, for free (doesn't detract from your available icloud storage) So even with the free Icloud plan, your memories are still safe (the last 30 days of them anyway). Hope this helps!
  9. The only real difference between them is the camera. The rest is all gimmiky stuff like Live Photo, and force touch. Performance wise they are on par, and in fact the 6 has a better battery life than the 6s (on apples own website) App's are getting bigger by the day and the higher mega pixel camera means your photos are gonna take up more space than before, IMHO 16gb just doesn't cut it any more. I have a 32gb iphone 6 with 15gb of offline spotify music on it, and 10gb of photots / videos and just the main apps that i need. As long as i offload my Camera roll to the computer once a year 32gb is enough. I would go for the 64gb Iphone 6, it's a very capable phone and will be good for another 3 years at least. Having 64gb is gonna save you a ton of agro when it comes to data management.
  10. Thanks Everyone Some funny comments in here lol I wish my wedding would cost that much! I'm gonna have to put my GTR dreams on hold for a long while!
  11. Thanks and yeh I agree once on the car is when I'll know if I truly like them or not lol, P.s. The work was done by 'detail my car' in Newbury

  13. Haha fair comments in happy with how they turned out, I'll be putting them on the car a little closer to summer I think will post up pics then ðŸ‘
  14. Time to buy a baller cap then 😅
  15. Suttons business park 7:30pm
  16. [quote name='Kraziekatz1' timestamp='1455732365' post='1587624'] I see a silver one round Reading from time to time. Whereabouts are you DarmoZ? [/quote] I'm in Earley / Woodley area
  17. [quote name='-Bradders-' timestamp='1455718925' post='1587507']Did it have red decals? nismo style?[/quote] Couldn't see, I was sat in traffic on Bartholomews
  18. Don't keep the bowl near the front door or any windows, some thieves in Basingstoke recently have gotten away with a few Merc's by using one of those lazy grab stick things (like a litter picker) through the letter box to grab the keys!
  19. This morning at around 8:30am just as you went past Palmer Park.
  20. Sounds like a good fun project, all the best with it looks forward to seeing how it develops
  21. Could have a look on the US forum My350z to see peoples review of this.
  22. Issue: Spinning noise from below gearbox area when clutch pedal released (when sat still in neutral) noise spins down and goes away within a second of pressing the clutch pedal down. My Experience: My last '04 had this, My current '04 had this, it continued to have this even after the clutch and flywheel was changed (Excedy DMF clutch kit, similar to OEM, not sport) I was recently at H-Dev for brake and suspension job, I showed him the noise whilst I was there, he said that it's normal for 305z. My Conclusion (based on my experience and other people iv'e spoken to) Is that this is a normal zed noise and nothing to be concerned about.
  23. Noise with the clutch peddle pressed down should be a concern. That noise when the clutch pedal released however is very common on 350z and isn't anything to worry about, my last two '04 had this I went through the same concerns, i even had H-Dev (zed experts) listen to it and they said its normal on these cars. Welcome to Zed Ownership! I would stick with Alex's Advice How many miles and what year is your HR? FYI: This has been covered before: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/74992-350z-spinning-sound-from-clutch-when-in-neutral/
  24. Ok so I now have braided brake lines, and fluid bled. The pedal does feel a lot more responsive, it's not like brand new Audi feel with the initial huge bite, still progressive I would say, but a lot better, I'm not dissatisfied approaching stop lights and junctions anymore. Happy camper again
  25. So a simple brake line and fluid change at H-Dev turned into rear discs and pads, plus front super pro bushes as well! I was gonna say no, but I'm so glad I said yes, I didn't know what I was missing, the steering feels like that of a brand new modern car, corners better too, if I could describe it in a single word, the whole car just feels more Solid. Jez's mechanic was showing me The super pro for the 350z has its hole offset within the bush, this fixed the geometry and does something to the camber (I think, can't remember what he said) and makes it better than when they left the factory. I find I don't have to turn the wheel as much as before to achieve the same amount of turn. It's also more responsive to the steering wheel. My car is a 2004 around 78k miles, and they were completely worn on the front he said, so I imagine all of the older zeds will benefit.
