    New Ride

    Very nice, Great colour (although I am biased)
  2. Thanks guys for the help, Very helpful Hodaka especially with the pics thank you, I've checked the power outlet sockets are connected to the ignition and I will make sure the fuse I use is also powered via the ignition.
  3. Finally got round to buying a dash cam, It comes with both a plug in for the 12 volt power outlet and the hardwire kit, I can't decide whether to simply plug the plug into the 12 volt power outlet under the glove box and tell passengers to watch their legs on it, Or hardwire it in for a neater finish, now I'm no auto electrician but I have seen these piggyback fuse connectors, So I'm thinking of perhaps piggybacking off 1 of the 10amp fuses with say a 5 amp fuse for the dash cam. Has anyone hardwired a dash cam this way or any advice on doing this.

    370z boot!

    Good idea 370ZDerby, I've got some square pieces of rubber I will cut them to shape and give it ago.
  5. Really annoys me that does, it baffles me that someone is happy to pay £20k-£30k on a car then scrimp on a few hundred quit on giving it a service when it's due.

    My Zed

  7. Spotted this morning a 59 plate White 370z on the M40 North just before the Gaydon exit about 08.40am.
  8. Well I listened to the helpful tips and recommendations and spent the morning giving my Zed a good Polish, Then applied a good coating of Meguiars NXT Generation Tech 2.0 wax, Used the Meguiars as you can use in direct sunlight, But the Polish is what made the difference. Thanks.
  9. Hiya and welcome nice looking Zed, Spotted a blue Zed on the A5 just outside Cannock a few weeks ago, may have been you. Love the colour
  10. Nope, different one. Seen it again in the opposite direction. Perhaps someone local has bought it recently as I do the same route everyday same time and not seen it before. I've also spotted this 350z a few times around Coleshill, Twice parked on a drive and once behind me, You definitely hear him before you see him.
  11. Hiya RobZed, I've just had my 4 year service done on my Zed, I went to Nissan in Leamington and found them to be OK, I'm nearer to Birmingham but all the Birmingham Nissan dealerships have rubbish Google reviews, Leamington has atleast decent reviews, I told them not to wash it which they didn't, they gave me a courtesy car for the day and 12 month's Nissan Breakdown cover. I also clocked the mileage when I left it, It had an extra 2 miles on the clock when I collected it, so really hadn't gone out of Leamington, so no long test drive and excuse to thrash it. I'm not saying they are going to be any better than anyone else after using them only once but may be worth a look.
  12. Go steady mentioning "Ring" around a girlfriend, Mine would be straight out to book the vicar and order a cake....
  13. I bought my Zed in April, While i was sorting out my old car for sale I'd spent about 4 months watching what was for sale and the prices, the prices seem reasonable but it really depends on the condition of the car. From what I've read the privately owned Zed sounds a better car, claiming no dents or damage, better mileage and full Nissan Service History, But spending that kind of money privately can be more of a gamble unless you've got some knowledge of cars, with out seeing them it's impossible to say which is better, If there not to far away I'd see them both.
  14. Thanks for all the advice and help, I've ordered a small 30ml Dodo Juice supernatural super premium car wax to give it ago first, I will use a good Polish first then give the Dodo juice ago.
  15. I'm currently using Meguiars NXT Generation Tech car wax 2.0 on my Monterey Blue Zed, I find the finish OK which does last quite a few months, I'm no expert and I'm new to this bothering to keep my car shiney and my main aim is to get the deepest shine on my Zed, What do you guys use or what wax would you recommend to give me that real deep shine on my colour Zed.
