  1. Just watched that Vid wizard - interesting insight to its development and did not realise they had a F1 driver (Buemi) helping out
  2. Having copied the embed code from clicking on the "share" option on the vid, use the chain/+ link in your post and paste the copied embed in the URL box and job done (You can edit your first post BTW)
  3. Surprising result here - post No.5, albeit for a 370 http://www.350z-uk.c...cement-battery/
  4. BBK has one and has posted clips on here from his road 'experiences'. Think he has an install thread somewhere....... (Oh, BBK = The Bounty Bar Kid)
  5. Bear with me whild I get it off my chest.... As car drivers, if we race on the roads we can expect the book to be (rightly) thrown at us. Fortunately, ZEDs have so much reserves of brakes and grip that in normal driving you have be an absolute idiot to prang it. What I am increasingly seeing is cyclists pedaling for all they are worth, taking corners as though on a race track and seemingly oblivious to other road users behind with no mirrors or proper check over the shoulder to help them when changing direction. We know motor cyclists can be very vulnerable - simply the speed they can do will take them near the limits not helped by vehicle drivers who are either not paying the correct attention or simply fail the comprehend the closing distances. Sadly the stats over the years bear that out. What I am getting to is that the performance of road bikes and many of the riders, often running in pairs or more, that have improved significantly in recent years but, they are invariably on the limit such that when a potential incident between a a driver and rider looms the cyclist is at the mercy of the driver to make the avoiding action and woe betide any driver that is involved as clearly by the fact they are wrapped in steel or other hard materials they must be in the wrong should something go wrong. And now we are seeing (all too well) those who deem it necessary to attach the brightest lights, often flashing and mounted in such a way that they distract drivers rather that attract attention to their presence. Certainly if we were to mount similar lights on our cars to show 'our' presence they would be deemed a hazard to other road users and points and fines (at the very least) dished out. And yet there are no mandatory tax/insurance/safety requirements/MOT for cyclists and cycles on the road notwithstanding billions are spent on road measures to facilitate their use of the public highways. Yes, I consider the time has arrived for cyclists to be regulated - and maybe a registration number to be worn on their backs so that their details can be forwarded when erractic and dangerous behaviour is seen and that might help to balance out the selected cam recordings cyclists like to publish when they come across drivers whio have not respected the cyclists place on the road.
  6. edited From what you have said it makes me wonder if you have an issue with the slave cyclinder - might look to check out this thread and go back to whoever fitted the clutch with the procedure Zmanalex has set down in the 5th post. http://www.350z-uk.c...e-clutch-fluid/
  7. Pleased for you that is nothing worse. I am going to pin this thread (and edit the heading) as this issue crops up all too frequently and is a good lesson to others struggling to find the reason for overheating/heater issues.
  8. Have you checked your rad with the cap off (WHEN COLD!) to see if there are signs of oil, or taken the oil filler cap off and to see if there is grey film showing? Hope there is not either oil or water respectively in them, but that is what I would do first.
  9. We have lost count of the number of ads by dealers that simply go by the 1st registration date rather than verifying the actual model. 2006 rev-up models (296 bhp) were still being sold as new in 2010 - 3 years post manufacture and well after the 370 was introduced let alone the 309bhp HR engined 350s that ceased production in 2009.
  10. His departure confirmed here: http://lotusf1team.c...ment-12737.html Be interesting to see what Mclaren show and reveal at noon today.... http://www.mclaren.com/formula1/
  11. +1 - must get along this year, been a while since I last went.
  12. No, an oil temp guage instead. As GIXXERUK says, if the oil temp reading has not varied from previous experience I would have thought it is more a sender/electrical issue. Never seen the oilchange/maintenance warning light come on - that's low annual mileage for you
  13. Here is a 'proper' one and a nice plate http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2012-NISSAN-370Z-GT-EDITION-V6-S-A-WHITE-auto-/251429389689
  14. Had enough of you two now you have ruined this thread with your petty squabble, so the thread is locked having spoiled it for everyone else......
  15. GT edition appeared in May 2011, so that one in the link Sarnie posted is a wannabe See details here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/47746-370z-gt-edition-press-release/
  16. I thought you were set on a blue 370, Marcus? But I can't fault your colour choice - perhaps you had a soft spot for Storm White after seeing mine and putting my brakes in order, eh? Whatever, a good choice and good luck with the search.
  17. Your first Zed? Enjoy and have a search of the 370 section where there is loads of info on the car and when something tickles your fancy post up a thread about your ideas.
  18. £150 is a rip off, London or not. OK, if there is significant changes and bolts are seized then maybe but there are plenty of places around the London area that will do a quality check/adjust for under £100.
  19. Thanks Doggy and Papa for your respective efforts in putting the calendar together an posting them out .......opps hope Mr Greenbitch does not see this..... Some cracking pics again.
  20. RX8 for example is surely a coupe - so where you draw the line is difficult to define I would suggest in a lot of models.
  21. A bit previous there Hugh, but anyways good wishes for tomorrow Mike.
  22. Everyone eagerly awaiting a picture of a scratched mirror? ......Oh the excitement is too much. Get a life or get married you two, and just give us all a break and let some others post up their sightings on this thread
