tspar

143 Sold last week. She was as mint as it gets for ten years old. Traded it in for an Aston so can’t complain. Anyone buying it feel free to ask me any questions.....Z boot mat for sale too, drop me a PM .

Lovely yellow Zed with modified bodywork and sweet sounding Zaust exiting Hull on the A63 yesterday. Was on fumes sadly and heading to the garage or would have stayed for a blast otherwise !

Cool. Thanks for the prompt reply. Much appreciated 

If anyone can let me know how many liter's is required for both gearbox and diff oil changes that would be appreciated.  Also what brand oil do people prefer ?

Many thanks in advance folks

Would fitting a replacement such as the K&N short ram intake greatly affect the emissions do you think?

Got my AAM shot tails from Tarmac. What an improvement from the OEM zaust . Drive everywhere with the window down now, much to the disgust of her indoors when its cold !!

Mine tomorrow. 

Did it all go well mate ?

@ZMANALEX

Thanks for the reply mate. It is blacker than the ace of spades so not been changed by the previous owner at all I would suspect sadly. Need a P1 so will get that done at the same time. Many thanks

Is this part of the P1 / P2 / P3 Services or is it independant of these and done when required ?

MOT Today. All passed with flying colours with no advisories. The worry about the new rules and the AAM Sports exhaust are over !

Got the Nissan Burgers removed today as well. 

Thanks everyone. In at the local garage tomorrow. What a forum this is 

Snow foam, clean and Harley Wax today. Looking good I must say 

Just doing my monthly checks and noticed the brake fluid is low. Do you think I should be able to top this up myself or is it something you would recommend I give to local Nissan or Indie to do for me?. Nothing has popped up as a warning however?

 I thought an mot certificate was invalid as soon as you take a new test, even if you have i.e a month left? 

 

So spurious isnt it, you have a dangerous problem and are not allowed to take it away, but if your mot certificate is still valid your allowed, even though you have a dangerous problem.

 

Seeing as your back tspar, what new exhaust rules are you on about?

 

 

@Jetpilot Not sure if there are any actual new rules mate, I was only asking if anyone with an exhaust that is not the standard one had been for one of the new MOT tests and if they had been given any grief with regards emissions. Some on here seem to suggest that the bar has been lowered with regards emissions ?

They have contradicted themselves as they say you cannot drive with a dangerous on the failure sheet but in the next breath they say you can?.

So if you get the MOT done on the day it runs out (for arguments sake) and you have a "Dangerous" fault recorded then supposedly you can not drive it but below it says you can drive it to get it repaired so you don't have to be fleeced by the garage that does the MOT test would be my argument.

If the MOT has run out

The only exceptions are to drive it:

• to or from somewhere to be repaired
• to a pre-arranged MOT test

What is the new rule?

The new MOT test was introduced on the 20th May. Just wondering if anyone's modified cars have fallen foul of it yet.

Just wondered if anyone had faced snags since the new MOT rules came into force. Especially with non-standard exhausts ?

Unfortunately I can not make this now sadly. Ticket free to a good home. Please PM me with your email address and I will pop it across to you 

Well i have come from the Z4M to the 370z . Liked the car but it didn't grab me like I was expecting. Also the servicing costs were eye watering. Cheapest indy prices started North of £800 for an inspection 2 which I simply could not just justify paying in the end. Performed well and the engine was a peach but those inspection costs killed the ownership feel for me. 370Z on the other hand is equally as fast, looks better and especially the 40th Anny edition I have, has all the toys included. Insurance is cheaper and servicing costs are sensible. Now it has its AAM exhaust fitted it sounds better too. Hope you enjoy the M3 though. My mate has had his for 10 years or more and loves it 

Best you should as your the organiser

please let us know when you have paid for your tickets so we can keep track and update. 

Ticket in bag

Anyone got a link to a good car cover please. £300 for the 370z OEM one is taking the p*** frankly

Anyone got any worries that the tighter rules and regs from the 20th May this year may affect their modified cars?

No problem mate
