The incredible hulk is reborn Well, lets face it it is a ZED on steriods both on and under the skin

Oi just noticed that was my pic I will let you off as it still makes I laugh!!! Its getting difficult finding a pic from the tinternet that you haven't previously posted

Interesting what you say Jables about your experience as I had my suspicions about the re-surface and noticing the recent 'off' tyre marks at the corner and posted up to that effect given it was a hot day with increasing useage the thought that oils were seeping to the surface was a factor. But then edited it when the delamination + tyre size issue was coming to the fore that semed to be more relevant, but we might never know to be sure............... viewtopic.php?f=18&t=62278&p=894974#p894974

Hi Mark I had a similar symptom once when the car was about about 6 months old (4k miles). Thought I would do a drag start but in my case when I floored the loud pedal it stuck down as I released the clutch which seemed to have the effect of drastic clutch slip and no forward momentum resulting in the usual burning smell you get from an over-worked clutch. I recall I immediately 'released' the loud pedal with toe-hooking as the poor of 370 was banging away on the rev-limiter for just a few seconds, but whether in hindsight it had stuck down or that was my perception I don't know For a few miles afterwards the clutch was obviously a bit hot, but when it had cooled down it was fine and I have never had the problem since with 17k miles on the clock. At the time I wondered if it was something to do with the accelerator sticking - if you go and press yours fully down you will feel a click. I thought there was something amiss but I subsequently learnt the 'click' is to do with the cruise function - i.e. if you decide to floor it when in cruise that 'click' will trip it out of cruise mode. But given what Neilp says "My 350z does that. It's the initial torque peak that the clutch cant cope with. If it did engage it would probably destroy the clutch plate" I kinda wonder if that is what happened to me and it was nothing to do with the accelerator The fact I have had nothing further happen in that department to sound warning bells makes me think my slave/master cylinders and clutch fluid level were/are not the issue, but then again perhaps my 'issue' was different Be interested to hear what your dealer says though

I'll let Chesterfield know Chris who has the unenviable task of sorting these gremlins

Have a good one matey - and enjoy a little before getting well and truly

Matching red Brembos with white decals needed now IMO

Colin what is the kit, I need to tell Mary it is a MUST HAVE on her white 370 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nissan-370z-200 ... 0659889089

Nice job you have done there

+1 Well deserved Mark to get an invite to the show and the work you put in at the show and to get it there..... Yours was from me - even if the Judges couldn't see it

My wife would just think I'd grown attached to her handbag after all the times she's asked me to hold it for her! I have the evidence of that Don't I know it

Good spot It is no longer Have a safe and enjoyable trip Keviswatt

I'm afraid I'm with Ekona on this one. I don't doubt what happened at all but you would have to be able to prove that 1) it was definitely the cause of the accident and 2) that it was they who put the wheels round the wrong way. Short of a confession there are just too many ways out for the garage and to try and pursue the legal route may end up being stressful, frustrating and expensive. I really feel for you but I think you may just have to take the hit (excuse the pun). Good luck. +1 I'm afraid, Never ever nice when this sort of thing happens and whilst these days there is an increasing tendency to look to others for blame/compensation I presume you chose not to take out track insurance which is the option that would helped you, after the excess, to recover much of the expense of putting your car right.

Thread locked in that case

What dyno was that on? Most we've seen have been from Abbey on they Dynapack, 320@hub sounds high compared to theirs. Maybe you have a freak of nature No just a superior car How big was that last fish you caught

All the very best Mark

Gutted for you Steve Now none of that is not going to fix your car but it might explain why you lost it at that point? Edit - just seen the delamination issue on your other thread which means my thoughts about an oily surface from recent re-surfacing leading to your off can be ruled out

Bennett wasn't too far ahead of you guys, they could probably smell his exhaust still. Could do a best caption on this - mine: "who farted?"

Aw..... come on Alex - why wait till he gets back - make it a personal delivery to the South of France and enjoy some and........... (its not the 9 o'clock watershed yet)

I think I better come along after planning it for you Seems ideal (to me) about half way on route and the food is great - but I haven't checked if they have rooms, but if not there is static caravan site just behnd the pub and they might give you details if they are full http://www.applecross.uk.com/inn/tariffs.htm
