Green number plates might work in a more tolerant place but I see it causing more trouble than it's worth. Prioritising electric cars at any point during this government is gonna cause so much kickback after the whole diesel emissions scandal, (previous) government promoting diesels etc etc Now to give electric cars a free pass in bus lanes, reduced parking prices etc. That's brave. Crux is, electric ain't sexy yet because its so frustrating to live with. One chap at my place loses his sh17 when someone hogs his space cause it means he won't be able to drive home in his leaf haha!

Hi and welcome buddy!

Bumping, price drop, useless to me being sat here. Happily drop them off if you're within 5 miles of any junction of the M40.

Holy Thread Revival! Just come across this ChrisFix video and how he describes the difference in octane rating between Europe and the US as a myth. Thoughts? Note, video is sponsored/promoted by Shell https://youtu.be/Bb5VfiFy0kY

I've been told by my MOT tester he would not struggle to fail headlights with tint but wouldn't worry too much if it was taillight tints. Crux of the conversation was colour of lights allowed on vehicles, own visibility, other drivers visibility, emergency vehicles have prescribed colours etc. He said if I was really keen to do it, find something removable and remove/apply as needed at MOT times.

Azure blue? It's a beautiful colour. Welcome buddy and be sure to post a few photos!

Yeah you'll need to reset it. Assume the 350z is the same as the 370z on this little niche. But to add to the thread, I find the longer the drive, the more satisfying the feeling and better the numbers. Personally love just coasting in the left hand lane, soaking up attention and every once in a while dropping down a few gears and letting it roar for my own satisfaction.

For Sale £200 (happy to entertain offers) From a 2011 370z with 30k miles on the clock (pads have done circa 10k miles by the looks of the paperwork) Collection from either B68 or UB7 only, buyer can arrange for postage if required. More details to follow once the weather is better and will try to clean them up if time allows. OEM discs (2x front and 2x rear) OEM pads (2x front and 2x rear, all with hardware set) OEM brake hoses (2x front and 2x rear)

Bump. Anyone got a sitrep?

Bumping this as I'm interested to see what gains, if any, are made on a NA VQ. Be nice to see any photos showing the before/during/after installation.

Those alloys! Welcome welcome.

What a way to make a comeback eh? Nismo 370z. Very very nice!

If you've got compressed air and electric/sensor cleaning spray, could blast the whole section with it and see if any dust/dirt is causing an interference. I'd also double check all the connections, give any connectors a push together and check for any frayed wires/casings. Screen obviously works, sounds like something isn't quite sitting right.

Car is now garaged and will not be back on the road till March 1st. No viewings/test drives till then!

I think with a nice front and rear bodykit it's actually good to go. Really want to test drive one, supposedly a chap in West London has already remapped it. After seeing it in the flesh, I've started to warm to it.

This! Nobody but yourself will know your situation. Hours of the day you work, how many cars in the house, how much you earn, do you rent or have a mortgage to service, are you handy with a wrench, would you be happy with a £300 Micra with 120k on the clock, do you have a family to look after, how do you finance your car etc etc. Go do the math but don't forget, life ain't all about the bills, one way or another you need to have some fun.

Looks very nice!

Welcome welcome!

If you can't do 2 cars for logistical reasons, I'd have to recommend switching to either the i30N or the mk7.5 Golf R. Driven both and genuinely think they tick every box for daily and for pleasure. Splash a little cash and you can also tick the box for road presence (hit Instagram and check out jacob7r and blacki30n for ideas). Pretty sure a few people have left the Zed fold, some for bigger cars and others for more convenience, a few of them have switched back and a few haven't looked back. Guess they are the ones who need to comment on this thread. Be interested to hear what you decide to do next!

Buy a daily snot box to take the grunt and enjoy the Z on weekends, evenings and events! Running 2 cars is the way forward and in my case is cheaper than just running the Z (initial outlay aside) If you do replace it there's so many good cars on the market that do everything pretty well. Zee Germans have a remedy for any ailemt it seems.

Welcome and glad to hear you bought from a fellow member. Hope you enjoy the Z!

Welcome welcome and hope you enjoy your new pride and joy!

Hello and welcome!

This! You can pay silly money but if you run excessive camber, drive/park on gravel, have funky suspension etc etc. then why not invest a little in setting the car up and avoiding the free work car park for something a little better and then get the best tyres with your leftover budget.

Not wrong but it's when you have to replace them before the actual end of their useful life. If you can't afford them twice you can't afford them once. . .
