  1. Put it to a poll ~ grundy for "Wrong Section Police Captain". Noooooooooo.............the forum would be 99% about BGWs So I've moved it (For those who did not see it this topic was in 350 performance )
  2. Thought this image was very From these pics: http://www.dailymail...ic-display.html
  3. For anyone interested - live streaming here: http://www.visiteastbourne.com/interactive/Airbourne-TV.aspx Including the two Lancasters at 3.05 and red arrows NOW!
  4. You're never 15stone Colin Guess Daryl, it depends how many gold bars you are stacking up there, or you could always let the Zed get wet and use a few acrow props Sorry, hit the weekend pop early
  5. ATTAK Z will be along soon But I personally would not trust lying my15 stone on that chipboard given the joist butt-jointing of those trusses (deserves a Will )
  6. Those of us that have "promoted" the MPSS are not blinkered to other tyres but I can safely say that the majority have experienced a range of tyres on the ZEDs and I for one have always said that tyres like the Falken 452's are perfectly suitable for normal road use and spirited driving, but if you want that bit extra grip in both the dry and especially the wet, then the MPSS are in a different league. But yes, at the expense of the MPSS being a little less 'playful' without leaning on the loud pedal quite a bit more, and that may not be the balance that suits everyone. But given more and more owners are increasing engine power that balance might be more suitable and dare I say a little less straining on the pockets given the respective wear factors. Fortunately the cost of the MPSS have dropped signifcantly in recent times, no doubt an added reason for the take-up of these tyres. Bear in mind the ZED was originally sold with Bridgestones 040's which owners quickly came to learn were great fun in the dry but hopeless in the wet, and whilst the latest 'Stones are a big improvement, in my experience they were still wanting for grip in the wet but then the contract Nissan has with Bridgestone is probably so lucrative it is only feedback from owners that will help others to decide what other tyres are likely to be best for them and the ZED.
  7. I think an awful lot of us on here will be relieved to hear you are not buying it - it had "too good to be true" written all over it.
  8. "Ken" on here ( http://www.350z-uk.c...er/14439-ken/) keeps records of GT4 ownership, although I can't see No.45 so good news another has joind the fold http://www.350z-uk.c...-owners-thread/
  9. Yes.......it needs the Madmarky treatment to really work
  10. Think this is how I would do it: http://www.detailing...734&postcount=5 (without the pink gloves oh, and use a hairdryer rather than the car's heater )
  11. That's it, I'm definitley coming along now then. I'll second that then
  12. Same here. Recently moved and ended up dumping 15 years of saved boxes in the loft for the very reasons you mentioned. Learnt my lesson and utter waste of space and then time getting rid.
  13. Being blunt, why did you just not look at the Sub-Forum for selling ZEDs http://www.350z-uk.c...-zeds-for-sale/ Is it really that hard?
  14. Dipped headlights coming on linked to when the wipers are working continuously is a such an obvious pairing - just surprised so few manufacturers have not done this. But nothing worse than in pouring rain you see cars with no lights on at all I've been guilty of forgetting to turn off the fog light - in the 370 it is out of my normal vision due the steering wheel and again I feel this something manufacturers could readily address by more careful placing of warning lights as I'm sure that is why we see so many cars with fog/head/side lights on when not needed. Obviously there are the posers who think it is 'cool' to have the fogs on - scooby owners are notorious for that......er, me being one of them in my younger years (C1996) What does concern me is Volvo's and other cars that come with dipped headlights on all the time. We have all got used to a flash or two by drivers letting us turn etc but so often you see a Volvo wallowing about it looks at times though they are flashing their lights and if that co-incides with a turn you are making then you can easily be fooled into thinking they are helping that action. It has taught me over the years to always be wary of what you think is a kind gesture, for fear of getting caught out.....and whose fault is it when the Volvo T-Bones you......
  15. I would be minded to ask the question "So what is the price difference between black and OEM silver?" I recall mentioning to my insurers a while back (and with whom I have stayed as they have matched best price on renewal) about the carbon wrapping I have on the front a rear of the ZED - they were not interested in 'cosmetics'.
  16. Very sad indeed - as others have said a unique actor/comedian, but he can now RIP.

    uprev

    Mine survived, as have countless others on here and Mark has both the knowledge and monitors to forewarn of any impending issues. That's not to say that siting in the car and experiencing the tune on rollers for the first time is not bum clenching.......so wear some brown trousers
  18. It's bad enough I know that all too well without any reminders

    You have a pm
  20. Like that
  21. I had a Nismo exhaust on for two of the three years I had the car, but as it was exchanged for the original OEM system before I got the 370. Was like night and day in terms of sound (and build) quality. But you have another exhaust on there now - not sure what it is. Car had about 21k miles on it when I traded it in - December 2009.
  22. This one by chance
