  4. But unfair to compare his times like they did with the Suzuki the others drove. Quite clearly the Kia is a much faster car and better suited to that track. Not so - there has been 14 others before Bishop in the Kia - see here for who drove what http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gear_test_track And faster than any of the pro drivers (albeit not in the Kia), by some 2 seconds. Watch it on the Wednesday repeat - his lines and commitment are brilliant.
  5. Don't bother - roadsters were not kitted out for bluetooth connectivity - you will have to get an aftermarket kit.
  6. Wouldn't be this TO one by any chance, just seeing they have a 56 gunmetal plate in as well...... http://www.s2000-4u.co.uk/nissan-350z-g ... re-1122300
  7. The current list which Bishop now tops were all done in the Kia Replay on Wednesday for those who missed it - his lap was one of the best I've ever seen, including the pros.
  8. After watching the vid on here: http://www.autoblog.com/2010/11/01/bmw- ... urburgrin/ Would she accept a contract that says she must not speak to anyone Or not wear a bra
  9. viewtopic.php?f=56&t=43867 Some like some don't - it is quite rare though

    Stillen Exhaust

    You will not be disappointed. One downside is that I can't stop polishing my big tips
  12. You are not wrong, for all the ZED engines Nissan 'recommend' 98 (RON) premium unleaded and you should have a sticker on the fuel flap saying so and it is mentioned in the handbook. It also says that if it is not available: "unleaded regular petrol with an octane rating of 91 (RON) or above may be temporarily used, but only under the following precautions: Have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regular petrol, and fill up with unleaded premium petrol as soon as possible and avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration. However, for maximum vehicle performance and best driveability, the use of unleaded premium petrol is recommended. " Its those last bits why I put in Tesco 99 I believe you will find the rating for Optimax is now 97 - it used to be 98. But as others have said, the the car will run fine on 95 as the ECU adjusts to changes in the fuel being drunk.
  13. the 4x4 version Chris But not with the 1.2 engine if you want to go anywhere in a hurry
  14. Didn't see it all but that was a mightly impressive lap by John Bishop - not surprised at the result. And a few nice put-downs he issued to JC.
  15. This link will help if you don't have the manual http://www.350z-uk.com/downloads/KE283- ... manual.pdf

    DB9

    So what is the reaction on the AM/DB9 forums to your purchase? Guess you are missing the ZED really
  17. Welcome to the forum This thread/pics might help you viewtopic.php?f=17&t=13358&hilit=bluetooth+cradle
  18. Excellent job there Will - consider yourself a pro now Is there a need to use protection tape on the unpainted surfaces before using the buffer - having not attended the Meqs training session but seeing the use of blue tape the detailers use before buffing, was just wondering.......
  19. Just to clarify. You have told us your ZED is an 06 but is a facelift (MY06) version with the 296bhp engine or a MY03 276bhp version? I mention that as the the MY03 models were still being sold off into 2007 That US TSB you are looking at I believe relates to the 296 engine and I understand from Mark at Abbey who has any number of ZED engines apart that the oil consumption issue is (normally) to do with the piston rings used on those engines. (The phrase "round pistons in oval bores" has been used to describe the problem). But if you have any doubt talk to Mark or one of the other engine experts on here. The States get their ZEDS sometime before we get the same models, hence why I have asked the question of you. All ZED engines have generally been labelled as 'bullet proof'. That said, if oil levels have not been regularly checked and the warning light has come on or the oil pressure guage is fluctuating more than normal then that may not be a good sign for engine longevity. The dipstick is the same on both engines and yes, can be difficult to read and whilst enthusiasts like us on here will persevere to get a reading, I do wonder how many owners who are not so keen to put their heads under the bonnet have checked, or had the oil level regularly
  20. How many garages is Chris building - looks like its not going to be enough seeing his tongue hanging out there So what birthday present did you buy yourself there Mike
  21. The oracle (ZMANALEX) says to use SAE 75W-85 API GL4+ - the nissan stuff for manual transmissions. He (or not doubt other traders) can supply it
  22. Hes probably reading that screen and saying to himself "what a load of old rabbit on there"
  23. You can tempt me by all means, its when I get home afterwards having sneaked out not letting on what I will be doing that things will get really
  24. Hmmmmm....... very tempting
  25. Might want to give the calipers a clean-up and add some copper grease to the back of the pads, shims and caliper sides as you may have got a build up of muck. As others have said, and with most cars, the pads will stick onto the discs after washing/rain/lack of use but when you say a loud bang that sounds a bit more than just the pads sticking for those reasons alone
