  1. TOO OLD You are young enough to be my daughter albeit my other 'alf keeps asking me when I am going to grow up..........and I still have my ZED But do stick around and let us know how you get on with your ST - perhaps with a glowing report from you I can persuade her to swap her Mazda2 Sport for an ST (As long it does not have those awful stripes down the middle of the car I might not be rumbled about what it actually has under the bonnet)
  2. from me
  3. Well that didn't last long - locked.
  4. Outline Planning Permission was given in July 2013, which has established the principle. More detail here: http://www.circuitofwales.com/ And while there are all sorts of details to be approved it does seem that it not only has local support but Government as well, with funding secured involving Chinese partners. It is on a roll and whilst deregulation of Common Land, that is necessary in this case, is always a 'challenge' I do hope those pessimists ^^^^ who think it will never happen are proved wrong and noting it has been agreed with Silverstone that they do not propose to 'pinch' the Britiish F1. Remember when everyone thought Silverstone was doomed from holding the F1 and Donnington was going to get it........the pessimists were proved wrong there!
  5. Sounds a lot cheaper and less hassle/stroke things going wrong to me, to go to a Nissan dealer for a replacement key. But I guess you have already damaged one so a new locking set looks on the cards anyways as I doubt you would get just one locking nut to match the other three.
  6. IMO you are better off having the servicing done at a Nissan HPC as most of the other Nissan dealers do not have the equipment/training to work on 370's, nor in my experience the willingness to undertake the work. See my reason below. You don't have the 3 year free servicing deal? Yes a good Indy can do the work providing they use the Nissan parts etc and in some cases you may well get a better job done. The one downside for me during the warranty period was if something was amiss with the car it was then how the dealer would handle the issue. Yes, they are obliged to anyway but in my book it was building up a relationship with a HPC (in my case Motorline, Tunbridge Wells) so they knew the car and me and when I did have some concerns about the gearbox they supported me in a complete change of unit rather than a rebuild that Nissan UK initially instructed. I now use an Indy (Kaizer Motors) - the fact he is a trained Nissan HPC technician with awards for his work before going solo and is far more reasonable in terms of labour costs and built up a great reputation on here servicing not only 370s' but 350's and R35's, for me is worth the 160 mile round trip.
  7. Reminds me of Knockhill in terms of terrain - so potentially more undulating and challenging than some of the converted airfields. And given we are losing more circuits than we are gaining, so much the better a new one is on the cards
  8. One thing lacking I can see it was not given a good 'airing' out on the roads to make sure the discs are nice and shiney Well I do each and every wash Test drive opportunity missed there Fun bit aside - full marks to Sy1441 for the work done
  9. Not the clicking axle noise I have heard - gentle forward and backward runs normally produce a definite click (more low pitched than yours) through each revolution. These might help: Full repair: http://www.350z-uk.c...-350z-breaking/ Alternative option: http://www.350z-uk.c...try-this-first/ Hopefully someone like Zmanalex may see this thread and can offer a more informed opinion.
  10. Might be worth an ask here, no wings listed but then no asks about them that I could see from a quick trawl of the posts. http://www.350z-uk.c...-350z-breaking/ Suggest you pm
  11. Parts you need? No better place to start than here: http://www.350z-uk.c...parts-for-sale/
  12. Another briliant Vid Tim and love the lead-in/warm-up editing
  13. Should have checked the last post on the thread and there is the reason for Annie not finding it as she had asked us to lock it and hide it - but we can still see it Now copying the Ad to Annie by pm.
  14. Here you go: http://www.350z-uk.c...uced-to-719500/
  15. I'll have a look for it........... give me a few minutes
  16. Click on your avatar, then the "find content" button and then "only posts"
  17. All too many times we hear about phones being the reason for posts not doing as expected when posting and tapatalk not working so maybe best to use the lap/desk top when it comes to setting out an ad that we can approve first time round.
  18. Check out Post No.1
  19. Will370Z and myself (for example) have had the Stillen on our respective 370's for years now (mine since January 2010) and it still brings on a big grin whevever I give the loud pedal a good press and it just encourages me to keep the synchro-rev on all the time. And there is no drone at cruising speeds with normal conversation at the legal limit. When Will had the Berks Cats installed he found that it was just to loud for comfort and reverted to the OEM Cats. Gstraw: You would not be disappointed if you bought one, of that I'm sure
  20. Thanks for the feedback
  21. Nice photoshop work there and as we often see requests for wheel colours I have pinned this thread
  22. Yes you did
  23. I see he only joined today, but made his first post. Seem to recall there is sometimes a delay (a day or less) for everything to kick in place but if he still cannot log in tomorrow send a pm to the Admin guys (in red) and I'm sure they will spray a bit of WD40 on the cogs to help things a long
  24. This might help the understanding about prosecutions for speeding: http://www.lawonthew...eeding_Offences
