  1. If the dashboard light is on then you have deactivated the system (well not 100% but enough to know about it) Default is ESP off - it only deactivates if you manually operate the switch and yes it is likely to trigger the anti-slip light as well. Sounds to me that you most probably did not give the RWD traction enough respect on the r/b, but it might also be worn/poor tyres/pressures/wheel alignment that can make a ZED very sensitive

  3. We have found that dealer support varies widely - there are some which get the five stars but sadly they are few and far between. Even some of the HPC centres have been found wanting. Have a look here and you will see reports from members about the gearbox issues http://www.350z-uk.c...arranty-issues/ and then here about dealer feedback and feel free to add your experience about Desira in Norwich and Glyn Hopkins in Romford. http://www.350z-uk.c...es-370-related/
  4. Something you won't be on those tyres :lol:
  5. Are you currently finding you hit periods when it takes an age for a page to load and then it is off with a gallop? Latest message from Chris'I (Admin) : I do have the archiver running every 3 mins, so if you hit it at the exact moment its doing that then it will hang until its finished then carry on as before. Small price to pay for now to get it done in a reasonable time. After the weekend it should be caught up and not be anywhere near as noticeable. Unfortunately I cant work out how to tell it to do it from a certain hour to another, else I'd just tell it to run say 2am-8am every day when the site is quiet. Certainly found today it is b getting better so hopefully after the weekend all will be well..........we hope
  6. Can't think who you mean
  7. Over the 8 years this forum has been live we have heard on here about more fitment issues associated with the K1 than probably all the other aftermarket exhausts put together. Yes, they maybe cheap and loud which appeals to some, but we have also then seen how many owners have got frustrated by poor fitment, or after a relatively short period of time find they simply can't live with the noise and sell on. Enough said?
  8. +1 with the oil change advice, and change the filter at the same time given how dark you said the oil looked. And keep your fingers crossed.

  10. Take it as compliment about the 350 styling. But then I remind myself, French build quality (from past experience), so not for me
  11. There have been several members on here who have required gearbox changes on their 370's, including mine. But in some cases its not always just the box, the clutch assemblies have also needed replacing. And when my box was changed it needed an adjustment on the shift plate that was restricting changes between 5-6 and back (that I had done elsewhere) so It makes me wonder if your garage do know what they are doing? If you let us know which garage it is quite likely someone on here will be able to confirm their ability, or otherwise...... . I think I had been you I would also have been pounding Nissan Customer Services door well before now.
  12. That makes no sense. If the the US and UK cars both have high number of steering lock failures there is clearly a common issue and yes, rather like we end up paying high prices compared to the States, Nissan may think we will be a soft touch on this kind of issue. Those who have followed the issue on the US forums will see that the recall came about due to a 'campaign' by 370 owners to get the result, so that should mean Nissan doing the honorable thing here, including refunding those who have already had to shell out for the repair.
  13. Recall that has been issued in the US 17-3-2013 So what is good for over the pond...............??????
  14. A true petrolhead
  15. Nice A little opps or two at the end thrown in there too - hope that second one didn't hurt
  16. Some info here - although sadly no post about the outcome. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/15173-facelift-interior-parts-in-non-facelift-z-anyone-done-it/page__hl__facelift R35LEE probably has the most knowledge about this, if you can get hold of him.
  17. I'm sure several have done this and works fine and yes, pre and post facelifts have the 12v sockets in the passenger footwell. As you say just wiring changes and noting the facelft doorcards have illuminated cup holders (if you wanted illumination there).
  18. Keep us posted so we can see if Nissan/dealers are being consistent. But Nissan really ought to do a free replacement for all the affected models knowing there is a manufacturing weakness and could lead to owners being stranded.
  19. Guess it depends how far they stretch
  20. Sounds hopeful
  21. Ban button prepared for action
  22. It is indeed. Does anyone know where I can get a longer one, as the one I've got doesn't even reach my oil? Would ZMANALEX have one? Are you saying it has been shortened and does not have the low and high markings on it??
  23. Some time back someone posted about smearing the end of the dipstick with something that allows the oil level to show more clearly. I'll have a dig around the archives. But as being said above, it does need to be done with the engine cold and on level ground. And yes, as its been said many times before, the DE engine dipstick was designed by one. At least they sacked that dipstick before the HR engine was commissioned.
