  1. We are not a "nissan owners club" as we specialize in 350s/370s but that does not stop owners of other cars joining if they wish, whether that is with the prospect of owning a 350/370, or not. Where we draw the line is those who simply use the site as a free advert board to sell what-have-you.
  2. Very interesting read and great pics to help the understanding
  3. Worse than old women you lot No offence to all our fairer sex on here but prams and toys come to mind cos you can't have your gossiping corner back.... ...yet
  4. If you set it right. All it does is dull your throttle inputs, so if you are constantly on and off the throttle it will average it out a bit. Nothing you couldnt do with good throttle finesse The best controller is very cheap - your right foot If you are concerned about mpg just get into 6th gear asap, even by-passing lower gears on the way if the conditions suit using the minimum revs -the great torque of the 350/370 engine will make that relatively easy. Although why anyone buys a ZED and wants to cut mpg rather than enjoying its V6 is
  5. I'd be happy with the toy Ferrari as an upgrade for my grandson

    NIP?

    Fingers crosed on the basis that if you thought you were doing 58 given the actual speed would be more like 52-54 mph knowing how the speedo's always enhance the actual, you should be OK - I hope That is why a use a snooper that is far more accurate (unless under trees etc that kills the GPS) and so far has kept the dreaded brown envelope from gracing the doormat
  9. Have a look at this recent thread that dicusses the LSD oil viewtopic.php?f=169&t=51586&hilit=service
  10. On one job we had a women nice as pie to our faces, asking how it was coming along and saying it was looking good only to find out she had written twenty seven letters of complaint!!! The wonderful thing now is that you can view all their letters online if it is a planning application. To be honest, from my experience letters of complaint from neighbours carry very little weight with planners so don't worry. Just keep up a dialogue with Planning, they are normally quite helpful. They need all the fees they can get these days! But if the neighbours complain to the Council as there is no planning application they have a duty to keep such complaints confidential. And I do find (and know from many a previous experience) that complainants will often involve Councillors and sometimes MPs and whilst a dialogue with the Planners is normally desirable don't assume a friendly politeness means a planning permission is on the cards. First thing is to establish with householder extensions and outbuildings etc, is to see if it can be built without planning permission - always the best option if possible and hence the link in my previous post.
  11. This might help the understanding: http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/permis ... buildings/ Click on the mini-guide for visual guidance. It is important not to get confused between what needs permission under Building Regulations and what needs Town Planning permission, they are two quite seperate forms of legislative control. Planning officers and Building Control officers rarely share information (even though they may work in the same offices) and often for the layperson it is not always clear which section they dealing with! If planning permission is required that is where the greatest difficulty lies as the decisons are subjectively based. Under Building Regulations you could theoretically build an office block in your garden as long as it complies with building standards set by the Regulations. Don't believe a word what neighbours might say. In these cases they will often say one thing to your face and another to the Council. As I am a professional Planning Consultant if you want some further guidance, pm me
  12. Until you have posted 5 quality posts, pm mesages are disabled (problems with spammers, rather than genuine members). I am sure one or more of the the traders will be along soon to help you
  13. I know a sale has been on the cards for a while and like others say it is a sad day you have have come to the conclusion it is has to go and guted for both you and Sam who we know has put many hours into the carefully chosen mods and looking after the car and I suspect it must have been very difficult taking those excellent pics. Anyone out there who seriously wants one of THE best GT4's around will not be disappointed - the car is a real credit to Linda and Sam. And Sam, my promise about the 370 still stands when I am in your neck of the woods (and you are not at Uni)
  14. Pms available after you have made 5 quality posts. I'll pm Paul for you

    Advice pls

    Done, and you ahve a pm
  16. That's where I got mine for the 370 as it dosen't have one but I wanted to be different
  17. Seeing the thread heading, I thought you were off to a "2 Jags" BBQ
  18. In the guides viewtopic.php?f=35&t=50937
  19. Welcome to the forum Darren-B from Kent on here has the ZED/MX5 combo, although the Maz is s/c, and he uses both on track so you are in good company.
  20. Welcome to the forum. Given the garage have readily agreed to the clutch (and bearing?) change indicates they felt something was not right and with 40k miles done, probably a wise move anyway although many a ZED has done far more miles than that without issues. Make sure you drive it before taking it away to be sure the problem is resolved - usually much less hassle than going back afterwards
  21. Best to get back in the driver's seat then
  22. Experience is the point I was making and we know that even gaining that experience on track can lead to brushes with the barriers as the limits are explored
  23. I'm just off to buy some Kleenex shares as the wannabe Stigs find the limits of their ability More seriously, for anyone who has only recently taken on a 300bhp RWD for the first time and not had track experience the ZED can bite you even with the traction aids on if you over indulge with the loud peddle
