Question for oilman , some oils I use have "JASO:MA" on the labeling what does this signify ???
JASO = Japanese Automotive Standards Organization
MA means it's a motorcycle specification (for bikes with a wet clutch).
-
His aint standard spec more than optional its Ruff developed
Doesn't mention anything about it being modified by RUF in the Pistionheads ad.
What RUF mods/parts has it got?

He's not taking a hit on depreciation asking £86,995. List price for a new 'un is £79,540.
Yeah I thought that may be the case anyway, as typically demand outstrips supply and therefore you can do this..... but couldn't be arsed looking it up!
Still a bit of a poor showing having it for a few weeks. I mean, its probably just run in! He's spent probably a 1000 miles taking it easy....... then sellling it!
Where did you get that price from, for his spec is at least 97k
From the Porsche GB website.
How did you get £97k?
List is £79,540 inc VAT
Bi-Xenons £705
Comms & Sat-Nav £1921
Heated Seats £269
Embossed Headrests £126
Crono Sport Plus £380
Tint Top Windsceen £68
Red Seat belts £163
Floor mats £72
=£83244
edit: +£985 for the 'optional' Porsche Tracking system, that you can't actually order the car without.

From a well known car magazine...
(UK spec Coupe, 276bhp engine)

The tank for a UK spec Z is 80 litres. However, the fuel gauge is not very well calibrated, so that when its reading quarter-full you still have (in my experience) about 30 litres left.

...how do you get in it
Why would you want to get in it?

How about headlights that have a decent range?
-
The crap headlights
And the fact they only fit one (weak) reversing light, which means reversing down my long(ish), narrow driveway in the dark is a lot more interesting than it should be.

You can put it on rentention for £80 for a year. It's ten free to transfer onto you new car privded you do it within a year, otherwise you have to pay another £80 each year.
It will cost you £105 to transfer a reg number from a car onto a retention certificate. You then have, IIRC, 12 months to transfer it to another car.
If you don't transfer it, it will then cost another £25 to extend the retention certificate for another 12months.

How can I put my registration on hold when I decide to sell my car ?You will need to complete a V778/1 - Retention of a Vehicle Registration Number application form. Application forms can be obtained from DVLA's network of local offices. The cost to retain a registration number is £105.

As you've said, an SAE30 mono-grade oil is the same spec as required by most air-cooled petrol lawnmowers. Try somewhere that sells/services lawnmowers (e.g. Gardencentre) as they will have cheaper (but probably lower quality) SAE30 oil and in 1 or 2 litre sizes. I use Witham oil (www.withamgroup.co.uk) from the local gardencentre in my 4-stroke mower.

Just another reason not to buy the cheap 'own brand' stuff from supermarkets.

It depends on what it says on the bottle.
If it says 'Concentrate' then you'll need to mix with water.
If it says 'Ready to Use' then you can pour it straight in.

I think it's just an 'N' on it's side

Cooling system, with resevoir at max mark: 8.7 litres, of which resevoir is 0.8 litre.

I'd recommend using the genuine Nissan L250 stuff.
It costs about a fiver for a litre, and putting the wrong stuff in an Aluminium engine can cause problems.

Red leather....eeewwww

This website should answer your questions:
Q3. Can children travel in the front seat? What about 2-seaters and convertibles?
Save for those in rear-facing baby seats against active front air-bags, children can travel in the front seat of any vehicle provided they are properly restrained. This includes 2-seaters or convertibles, even if the top is down.

Don't like 350Z, there is a surprise. Pitch them against the OC for a cat fight!
LOL All those Bee Emms would go down like a bag of sick at the OC!
It's interesting that all of the members who have (so far) posted on that thread have made comments only about the car, such as 'I like it," "I don't like Nissans," or "what's the specification" etc.
No one has said: This is a BMW forum, if you want to talk about Nissans go to the Nissan forum.
You can imagine what would have happened if someone had posted pictures of a modified 3 series on the OC.

The only thing I can work out that it is, is simply a weight to make sure the boot has enough weight to close properly
Yup. That's what it is.

Before I use/waste 43Mb of my download limit, is this the US or UK version?

What was the Ferrari In Ferris Bullers Day off
It was meant to be a Ferrari 250 GT California, but, IIRC it was actually a replica.
Insurance naievety !!!

That's because your mum has two cars insured with the same insurance company. Some companies (Directline is one) will allow you to use one No Claims Discount entitlement for 2 cars - It's almost like having 2 cars insured on one policy.
However, you will not be able to use an NCD on 2 or more policies if they are with different companies. Although some companies will take in to consideration your NCD currently being 'used' on another policy - in a similar way to company car drivers who may get 'credited' some NCD etitlement from their company's insurance (if they haven't made a claim) if they haven't had insurance in their own name.
