Yes, is the answer, but personally I would use 25mm spacers on the rear as well - just for appearance sake

Does not seem to have the CD skipping/condensation and speaker issues that affected some of the 350 Bose - certainly on mine its been fine, and I can't recall problems being mentioned by others.

pic as installed: Spacesaver came from another member and the jack & brace from Zmanalex. (I carry the torque wrench (and suitable sockets) for ease of wheel changing, and to make sure the wheels stay on! ) Hi,did you also show how you'd insulated you boot area? Can't seem to find the thread now, want to do the same/similar. Other than the optional thicker boot mat (it was a free dealer option in my case) that fits over the plasticy floor cover, I have not done any other insulation in the boot area.

Think BH need to re-visit their risk management assessments - as they would be in deep shite if a accident had occured.

FS: Genuine Nismo Nissan 350z Car Mats

Definitely for LHD - with the passenger mat 'up-side-down' in your pic -
The 240's, 260's, 280's are already often described as "classics" and I see no reason in due course why both the 350 and 370 will join them, and a are whole lot more desirable for collectors than say Micras, Primeras and many of the other souless offerings that Nissan produced for the masses but due to their age wil still attract classic status in due course. From Wiki definition of a Classic car: " United Kingdom: There is no fixed definition of a classic car. Two taxation issues do impact however, leading to some people using them as cutoff dates. All cars built before January 1, 1973, are exempted from paying the annual road tax vehicle excise duty. This is then entered on the license disc displayed on the windscreen as "historic vehicle" (if a car built before this date has been first registered in 1973 or later, then its build date would have to be verified by a recognised body such as British Motor Heritage Foundation to claim tax-free status). HM Revenue and Customs define a classic car for company taxation purposes as being over 15 years old and having a value in excess of £15,000. Additionally, popular acclaim through a large number of classic car magazines plays an important role in whether a car comes to be regarded as a classic. It is all subjective and a matter of opinion. The elimination of depreciation is a reason for buying a classic car; this is a major cost of owning a modern car. Picking 'future classics' that are current 'bangers' is a pastime of people into classic cars in the UK. Successfully picking and buying one can result in a profit for the buyer as well as providing transport. An immaculate well cared for prestige model with high running costs, that impacts its value, but is not yet old enough to be regarded as a classic, could be a good buy, for example. A change in the taxation class is due to take force in April 2014, by moving the cut-off date of the historic vehicle class from January 1973 to January 1974, thus including all cars registered and built in 1973 as historic."

Interesting concept on the Zeod - no traditional rear view mirrors, but rear camera with info on what the cars behind are doing. http://www.nissan-mo...2014/14043.html Just how far the car will get in the race though...........but 300kph already achieved from an engine that complies with the size for aeroplane cabin luggage (and a bit of help from a few Duracells ), ain't shoddy.

Moved to correct sub-forum -
Remind us again what was changed with the gearbox fix? Did the garage suggest 'wear and tear' any items not changed under warranty should be changed whilst the box was out? Sorry, but I'm suspicious of that work done and noting your latest issue has only cropped up since then and given the non HPC centre that did the work was not eactly on the ball........

Hey, you forgot to tell us it was your birthday Hope it is a good one
-
Yep, good pics and nice stance with subtle but well chosen mods
-
And the price differences, with the same spec (or as near as)?
-
http://www.zeroto60times.com/Nissan-0-60-mph-Times.html But as said above, so many factors can make a difference - the main one being the 'item' not supplied by Nissan

Maybe?

I believe they have to send notification within 14 days from the date of the offence I think that might be an urban myth... but don't quote me on that. There are 14 day/6 month time limits - see here (Sections 6 & 7 apply): http://www.lawdonut....offences-faqs#6

I suggest you think about getting a snooper or similar as although they are not fail safe they do alert you to most 'High Risk Zones' (and fixed cameras) and the one where you have been caught has been flagged up for years now

Many happy returns guys

Credible? Having followed the OP for 5/6 miles and no doubt done the insurance/reg/stolenchecks and couldn't fault the speed/driving behaviour/phone use, they had no doubt made up their minds to to pull the OP over to find something amiss only to find nothing and my guess is that they went for what they use as a fall-back option to justify the pull. Cynical maybe, but if it was really a pull for the seatbelt not being used, why 5/6 miles to act?????? For me this has highlighted a nice little earner, no doubt due the fact those accused have little in the way of proving the accusation false. I will be interested to see if some of our Police members on have any comments as there is a real perception that a loophole is being used to increase revenue at innocent drivers' expense Certainly has made me think again about an in-car camera, if this is what we are now faced with.

Bizz's LS3 6.2l V8 350Z Drift Car Project - IT CAN DRIFT!! :)

You ought to throw up a pic of your front bumper clips - I reckon they would work faster -
That's always pleasant. I got cut up by someone who doesn't know how to use their indicators or merge safely, ...I just let it go though because it wasn't worth the aggro. Just another idiot on our roads who doesn't know how to drive courteously or safely. My commute in the evening is frikkin awesome . . I exit my office, turn right in to the kitchen where I fill up . . . a large glass with wine. I can do better than that, June takes pity on my retirement and brings me the wine, knowing how loathe I am to drag myself away from the forum

Hmmmm........ just found out there are no points for not wearing a seat belt and the fixed £100 fine can rise to £500 if it goes to Court. http://www.saferroad...ckets/seatbelt/ In which case it would seem that without clear evidence to contrary swallowing the fine is the better option.......but makes you think eh, what an easy way of making money out of motorists knowing they are unlikely to take issue with the ticket Or you could do this: http://www.motorlawy...hone_advice.php
