  1. Get an R35 then change as you feel like it...
  2. Could it be a stuck piston in one of the calipers? No idea how you'd test this though...
  3. As a 350 owner I have driven several 370s including in day long test drives and as courtesys cars. I also drove one of the launch Nismos up the hill at Goodwood, and around Silverstone on a couple of Nissan organised events. I'd agree about the detail refinements but for me the one thing that didn't get captured is the 350's Soul. The 350 is a "Driver's Car", and i still get a tremendous Grin when I take it out for a spin. My 350 is 18+ years old with 115k miles on it including over 100 laps of the Nordschleife and has never let me down. It's 1= for me with my Escort RS1600. The day I took delivery I said to myself "this one's a keeper!". And it still is (wish I could have done the same with Escort!). P.s. Dont tell my eldest son any of this - he loves his 370Z Nismo V1!!
  4. Sorry mate, I didnt notice it was a 370. Was speaking from my 350 experience. Over to someone else...
  5. Some interesting proposals but I'd add an addirltional question.... And would you drive it and if so where?
  6. Could be the one-way valve in the supply just before the tube come up from the engine bay near bonnet. Without it the pump pressure falls and passenger side is furthest away from pump. Cheap as chips to replace... I think even Halfords can supply.
  7. And pick an outlet that's busy. Otherwise it loses octane level sitting in the storage tanks.
  8. I may have this wrong but isnt the engine in the GT4s known as the Rev-up? In that case, they had original head and rear light units...
  9. We dont have enough infrastructure to support large numbers of plug-in EVs, and no sign of any plan to provide it. Chargers at places like service areas are based on UPS units and trickle-charged overnight which is why so many of them are out of use in the afternoons. For full charging provision substations are required and at present no-one is prepared to pay for those, not the charger provider, nor the grid organisation, nor the government, unlike other countries such as Norway.
  10. Just a note for the future... About 3 months after I had new banana arms some clonking came back. Turned out the nuts needed re-tightening...
  11. And removing the pedestrian protection devices means you are uninsured.
  12. If the car is a 2012 it must be a 370 not a 350...
  13. Dont know which car you have but general principles I use are: - try and go from tailgate to roof headlining using any flexible cable protector that exists. - then run to side of car in headlining and then go down to trim at side of floor* - along the side to front and up the A pillar, back into headlining and across to camera. * if you have to run along roof side do NOT place in front of any air bags or curtains. The cable will stop them deploying. Same applies if there are any in the A pillar. I have had fitted a dual camera kit in both my GT-R (no tailgate) and Swift Sport. Havent done it in my 350Z but am considering it.
  14. Mine too. Current engine has done 73k miles like it from new.
  15. I use Amayama.com site to to see diagrams with parts and part no.s. Takes a little while to find the right diagrams but once you get used to it its really useful. Its also quite surprising how many new 350Z specific parts are still available from Japan 12 years after production finished...
  16. A cause of wry smiles from myself. Seeing the very few people in the audience who wanted Boris back (4 out of 100 I'd approximate with the audience being high proportion conservative), are Tory MPs stupid enough to think he will solve their problems... If they can't all get behind one candidate and there is a vote, the supporters of the losing candidate(s) will forever be trying to oust the winner. Fundamental problem is the party has no unity.
  17. You used the words "Ferrari" and "tactics" in the same sentence - there's a 5 seconds penalty for that....
  18. At least Horner finally admitted last year's was stolen...
  19. Oil consumption on mine is about 1 litre between annual services when in regular use. Or, to put it another way, it goes from Max to Min and then oil is changed. 🙂 I had a replacement engine at 42k miles (hydro-locked due to driving error!) so I guess it would be a late build of that spec. Original engine oil consumption was hardly noticeable.
  20. I have a 2005 (Rev-up) car and over 115k miles it has averaged 30mpg. That includes a few track days and over 100 laps of the Nordschleife. Just paid my VED and it was £360 for 12 months. Hope this helps...
  21. All looks good, but I feel you ought to know that the Nissan Dealer supplied boot divider leaves the emergency boot release in the boot area rather than the cabin. This means that in the event of a total power failure you can unlock the car with the key, but you cant get into the boot. I got caught by this and think its worth others knowing (I had a jump start pack in the boot but couldnt get to it!!!)
  22. Same as the UK Rays then. Thanks again.
  23. Thats interesting Alex so Thankyou also. It seems the wheels noted as Nismo LM GT4 are not the same as those fitted to the GT4 cars (which were also called "35th Anniversary Edition" cars).
