Age means nothing really, depends on the ape behind the wheel  I went from a 120hp mk7 fiesta to a 600hp supra when I was 20. Scared the life outta me when I first felt real power. im now 27, still have the supra and have just brought a 350. Going in reverse! 

What made you go from a supra to a 350z?

I had this issue when removing the radiators from my 350z I couldn't get the A/C Lines off so I created my own A/C Line disconnect tool set. This thread is more of a feeler to see if anyone would be interested in these and a sneak preview at my new website not officially released yet it's still a work in progress

Really interested in the undertray but its a tad far, you won't be traveling up north anytime soon will ya? 

I'm still calling dibs on it!

Im in Bedfordshire

If I put a car in my garage when its empty I can barely get out the door, It's more a brick shed   so all work is done out on the sloping mono block drive way

Haha that's what this is like i just parked so far over i'm basically touching the wall

U wot m9

Not even m8 you're a man of memes 

"Nah m9 got kids" 

Interesting offer though

Anyone else work out of a tiny ass garage? 

Think I've got a nice little setup here, it doesn't have any power but i chucked solar panels on the roof and have now recently setup an inverter off the solar panels and batteries in the garage which now means I've got 240v house sockets powerful enough to power a 24litre compressor. Just from the power of the sun

So why don’t we let youngsters have full access to sports bikes then? Why restrict them?

Because we're immature and stupid 

All you oldies have a bit more experience

Slightly off topic for this thread but i went to see a car once with the money all ready to buy, description and pics all looked fine on internet. Got there for a test drive and salesman said. I can knock you a grand off (from 6k to 5k) if you want today, trade sale, no warranty, went out for drive EML light was on. I asked what the fault was, he said, there is no fault, the EML light comes on, on all deisel cars when its cold (it was around +3c) it goes off when its fully warmed up. 

I mean, come off it pal, obviously i ran a mile, wasnt suprised to find out driving by same garage today that they are now out of business!

Haha something similar happened to me I went to test drive an Astra VXR, there was an EML on and the turbo kept cutting out when I put my foot down. It then went into limp mode and started miss firing, and the guy said the reason why it was doing that was because it just had a new turbo fitted and had oil in the exhaust manifold cuasing it to miss fire and to go into limp mode. I couldn't stop laughing.

To the others, yes I'd agree it depends a lot on the mind set of the person. I think I'm fairly mature for a 20 year old. I definitely wouldn't trust some of my mates to drive my car.

Physical age or mental age? I mean that sincerely, as I think it requires a bit of maturity - the 'kid' that bought my zed I preached to for about 30 minutes about how to drive it assuming he knew nothing, turns out he is in the army and drives challenger tanks 

The guy I bought my Zed from funnily enough lectured me about driving it. Haha

Just a little discussion topic since I don't know the average age of forum members but I gather the majority are 25+ onwards. I've been told numerous times that the car is too powerful for me, what do you think is an "appropriate" age.

I'm 20 for those wondering and have owned my DE for 9 months 

I'm probably one of the youngest owners on here at 20 I've owned my DE for 9 months now, It cost me £1750 with Admiral without mods and with only 2 years no claims, with all mods declared (full exhaust system, splitter/other body mods, induction kit/ few other bits) was £1900 with admiral at still only 2 years no claims. Little late to the party but hopefully this will help others looking.

I found that insurance was a hit and miss kinda, one day I would get quotes around £3500 the next around £2000.

Hi Dani, welcome to the cool forum here we all run V6 engines and drink beer from a barrel, sick picture btw 

After some Louvers for my 2004 350z, will end up buying Zack's louvers from the U.S. but thought I'd test the waters on here to see if anyone has any used Zack louvers / other brands for sale.

Thanks

Jake

Might need a few thousand pounds worth of repairs for all we know if its smoking/engine light on - tread carefully!

Cheap 350z from flea bay what could go wrong 

2 left at £12.50 get once they're gone they're gone peeps 

You should probably link to the UK eBay not the US version 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162756715362

Just find a guy who knows a guy, or buy the MOT tester a meal deal and ask for him to place the sensor a little further back

Tidy

Cheers buddy, unless you're talking about someone else's car which would be a bit awkward 

Spotted in my garage 

Looks like an awesome price. You say it needs to be modified is that just the piping to the intercooler? Or exhaust work as well.

Edit: nevermind me I didn't read the whole thing in depth enough

ohhh yeah.

 

Had it loads off mates with kids mainly.

 

"when you grow up you'll realise XYZ is more important than silly bollox like that. When you've got to put food on the table!"

 

Their decision to have spawned another child while they were still pretty much kids themselves and then more along the line, thus ensuring empty pockets. Not my problem.

 

I'll have kids when I'm ready and 110% know I can guarantee that kids happiness entirely, cemented, and give it the best in life. Not scrimping and scraping and arguing about money with my partner. 

 

I'm doing just fine at building that future

 and I'll be a much more rounded parent than a 19 year old. 

 

In the meantime, I'll damnwell enjoy the fruits of my labour as I see fit.

 

/rant.

Totally agree, mate everyone feels the need to express their opinion.

The most annoying one is: it's just a metal box that gets you from A to B why do you need to spend all this money on it 

Here's my Zed pics of the day, feeling all sorry for herself before she goes back into the darkness of the garage
