  1. If it were me I think I would seek specialist advice. Whilst it sounds as the Nissan Dealer you used has been helpful, maybe there is something they are doing, or have not spotted, that is causing the symptoms to return. If you post up where you are located (you can do this in your avatar profile) that will help with suggestions as to who to see for a second opinion.
  2. Expect it was all those passenger laps you gave, especially with some of those big buggers on board, the poor little frog got a tired leg
  3. Much, much better - just confirms the quality s/s used and mine is sound as the day it was first fitted in January 2010. GLWS
  4. No offence CarpeDiem but hey, when did you last clean those tips, or have a go at the backboxes Cleaned up I'm sure it would look as good my near-on 5 year old version
  5. I'll check that restaurant out in a couple of weeks time
  6. This is 2014 Will - what with you posting up F1 glamour pics from years ago I'm beginning to think you are stuck in a time warp, VBH or not
  7. So I take it this thread is history? http://www.350z-uk.c...95/page__st__20
  8. OK, got the video sorted although some of it is a bit shakey Another excuse is that there are no formal spectator areas at Bedford but a kind marshal let me join him at his post by the pit entry and it was bloody exposed Anyways, five vids strung together: 1st - The new Beemer of the 3 desperados - Brillomaster/Ken/Will370 2nd - 911 Porsche of Ekona 3rd - 350 Roadster of Haydn 4th - Hissing Sid of Keyser with Haydn chasing 5th - The Beemer again but afraid I have no idea who was driving then, or in the 1st part Best to play in full screen
  9. Locked as requested on here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/40500-my-new-purchase-911-content/page__st__160#entry1344526
  10. Sold thread here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/89673-9972-carrera-2s-pdk-sold/
  11. Inevitably its low brake fluid - seen this on here many times - should be topped right up. And might be a sign that the pads need changing if the fluid level has gone down significantly....or maybe a leak (unlikely).
  12. You want the horses, then be prepared to pay for the feed!
  13. "Nissan Constantly Variable Transmission" For auto gearboxes only so if yours is manual is does not apply. http://www.350z-uk.com/index.php?showtopic=7807
  14. Enjoyed that - thanks for sharing
  15. Where has it been said the ride quality is better on 18" wheels? Given less than 50 base Zeds were registered in this country and I suspect several came with the optional 19" wheels anyway, I doubt there is a very informed opinion this side of the pond. Apart from which, 18" wheels on the same 40/35 profiles would be lost in the 370 arches and if you are saying it is because they use higher profiles then the car would be wallowing around like a jelly and completely undermise the handling, IMO - one of the 370's foremost benefits .
  16. A golden opportunity to build your own house so fully understand your thoughts about the ZED having to go and anyway as it simply won't get used and is hardly a useful carrier for nipping out for a few hundred weight of cement and some acrow props...... Your hope that upon completion it may also give you an opportunity to get another ZED, or better, would also be an incentive to make sure the pennies do not get wasted in the house build
  17. I gave up trying to do a King Canute a long time ago and just accept "progress" has good, no so good and bad points. For me, (and for many others of similar vintage) the issue is learning how to use new technology and what the various acronyms not only stand for their meaning too! More often than not I find, and I suspect a good proportion of other smartphone users are the same, it is the same when you buy a new washing machine with umpteen programmes and end up using one or two....... It was bad enough learning how to use a slide rule at school (yes, I'm that old) but now computers are 2nd nature to youngsters even my 6 year old grandson puts me to shame And I have seen Adrian (the OP) at work on computers and it was just mind-blowing how quick and simply he used photoshop and posting on here, so I am not surprised he sees this latest aid to keeping in touch on the move as another useful bit of kit that will help his lifestyle. So I am afraid those of you who condem the use of gadgets in cars are showing your age..... but will you admit it? Sure, anything to help safe driving I'm 100% in favour and absolutely no excuses for those not using hands-free. But honestly if you get so wound up up about the Navdy I can recall similar concerns about when radios/cassette players were introduced. And then we have drivers who are more concentrating more on animated conversations in cars or turning round to see if little Joey has wet himself - there are a whole host of potential distractions that for me are more dangerous than a gadget to stop what drivers doing what they currently do (we all see the hand texting and phone to the ear going on everyday) and not keeping their eyes on the road. And how far away are we from driverless cars on the road anyway - God forbid The thought of a computer driven car on our roads scares the shite out me bigtime as I fail to see how any technology will ever react in the same way as the human brain when something out the ordinary happens and has not been thought about by the programmers.
  18. Wonder what little gem we can expect - now he is on 19,999
  19. Reckon the heading ought to be: " My new sale (911 content)" But have to say after having a ride in it recently it is a supurb machine
  20. Lost of advice if your search : Brake caliper paint
  21. Absolutely brilliant day! As Haydn says, would be great for something like this to become an annual get-to-gether on the calendar. But many, many thanks especially to Dan, Will, Karl and Chris for the passenger rides - all different but so enjoyable in their own ways. And the grins as drivers and passengers came in from each run was confirmation of just what a fun day that was. Oh, and must record we even had a certain Tango 240z turn up at the end of the day with its new wheels and hope I didn't get you lost on the way home Darren ....... Oh, might have some pics/vids once I get some editing done.
  22. Did you really mean to put this in the 370 forum?
