This months practical classic magazine has a write up on the 350z. Looks like the industry is starting to recognise its classic car potential for the future…

Quick mid winter storage check. Started on the button, when’s spring coming so I can stretch it’s legs..

I have done it, you get 5 disks, one is the software upgrade and then the others are the maps. if you can buy a code from somewhere like navi-expert-uk I can sell the disks to you much cheaper? you need to get your code and they provide a code to upgrade I think, that’s what I did.

Put a full tank of, 99RON in mine on Wednesday and then registered it SORN on Thursday. 😩 bloody winter!

When you park miles away from anyone only to find a driving instructor using your car as a target for a learners reverse parking session 🤦🏼‍♂️

Noticed my headlights were starting to tint a little so got a turtle wax headlight cleaning kit and after an hours rubbing and polishing they came up nice. Needed the sandpaper block so if you get some just use it as it will be better anyway. Was a bit worried initially as the headlights go very dull after the sandpaper blocks are used but the paste then cuts through and gives a clear bright finish. I’m no fanatic and rarely clean my other cars so I can confirm this is fairly straightforward for anyway with some patience.

Oh no… gutted but I have enjoyed the last 1,250 mile since March.

Good luck. Mot check shows 22k mileage, current owner may be reluctant to sell as it looks like a garage/summer car.

4 months ownership tomorrow, loving it.

My sons at uni in America so I got a cheap maypole trickle charger for his c2 and it started first time after 6 months. It normally goes flat in a week or 2 if it’s left. not sure what I’m going to do with it this winter as the Zed’s getting the garage 😂

Weather looks terrible for Sunday as well….😬

I may have just washed it ready for Sunday 😜

Hi, can you add me please. I’ll drive down if it’s dry 👍🏼

Spotted in Hucknall, Nottingham yesterday outside Branstones store. Roof off obviously 😀

Can we just turn up or do we need to register? I’m not on Facebook.

You’ll get badgered for pics, may as well post them now..😂

I use my phone but my question is where is the gps antenna, my manuals say it’s in the dash and Nissan are suggesting replacing the boot one which I believe is the am/fm antenna?

Ok, cars been to Nissan today and they said the antenna base and stubby aerial need replacing? all my manuals say the gps antenna is in the dashboard, any ideas? Nissan want £325 to replace the base and aerial...

Evening drive to Southwell

Quick wash ready for a run 👍🏼

Please do, I have a white roadster and the discolouring is worse the lighter the paint. I can nip to Sheffield for the right price.

Read that post but that’s for general updates for maps and only 2013 updates. My issue is the car not tracking properly. Having said that.. following the diagnosis it seems to have woken up. Was fairly good on the way back from the garage so I went a good 10 mile run last night and it was spot on so fingers crossed it’s ok now. Might still get the 2020 update disk though as it’s planned as a tourer and there are some roads missing around me. Hoping the display may be better as well as it also updates the software which includes ( I think) Bluetooth upgrades?

Hi, sat nav has been wandering a bit and when I look at info it shows no satellites. it’s just been for a diagnostic test and they told me it needs an update that only Nissan can do. I don’t understand how an update will work, surely it should show where I am on any roads that are already on, I can’t imagine the satellites have changed their software in the last few years for it to lose them? anyone else had this and the updates worked? Shall I just bite the bullet and get the 2020 update and take it from there? the sat nav is under warranty but not the update so I guess if it doesn’t work and it’s the unit I can argue for a repair then.

Slightly worried about the insurance issue on this... I’ve currently got a 6 month warranty so will get the car checked before it ends at cougar and get them to pull it and replace with a blown one at that time.
