  1. Nice write-up Vern and have to say I agree with most of what you have found. Mine was also an ex demo with less than 60 miles on the clock and unmarked. Sound - hence why I got the Stillen even before I could collect the car - the OEM zorst is the biggest let-down on the 370, unlike the 350 (UK version) which is a lot better. Fangs dealt with as per my sig below. They are certainly more noticable with the bright colours, but as you say the 370 does seem to attract more attention - compared to the Ebisu and Blade 350 before. I feel that the more aggressive frontal appearance with the wrapping does seem to get more slower drivers to move over than I found with the 350's Having come from 276 then a 296 engined ZEDs, there is more power - but really it is not much and as I have found on 350z-uk drives the (standard) 350's hang on well - mainly because the visibility is better than the 370 as you sit that much lower and picking the apexes is little more challenging and on tighter roads the overall width seems much greater with the few extra millimetres over the 350. The mid-range torque on A & B roads is much better than with my previous 350's - a definite punch in the back when giving it some beans My biggest bugbear is the tramlining and steering feel - mainly at low speeds. But I plan to get Abbey to get that checked/changed and if necessary change the 'Stones'. We all know the 370 'scrubs' when on full lock and especially when the tyres are cold but I am beginning to feel there must be an improvement in the tyre department as it just hasn't got that spot-on feel that makes the 350 such a driving pleasure. So for me the jury is out on the 050A's. The cabin has a much nicer overall feel although I do miss the storage areas of the 350. And the seats are not the same - the side bolsters certainly make it more of a snug fit for my 38" hips - to the point where I 'shuffle' more on long runs but it is not uncomfortable and a little more use will, I am sure, make it the perfect fit . But hey, for me the biggest + is the syncro-rev, which combined with the Stillen makes it feel something very special Like the 350, I feel it is great value for the money (and was just within my budget, unlike similar aged alternatives it is often compared with) and as I am fortunate in not having to use it as an everyday car it is not breaking the bank - so it is for me
  2. Silly money - but anyone know about the tyres - good/bad etc
  3. seemed appropriate Wow 42 - we better give you a rest day off from here then so you can celebrate So, have a good-un
  4. On the forecourt here today http://www.mole-valley.co.uk/show.php?i ... 1&srt=make ASC
  5. Thanks for the update Steve - sorry I missed the day. The car is really looking the part these days, with the wing, white wheels and the overall stance No doubt the GTR boys think they have the quickest machinery on the track but as has been said, few will know how to drive them and you ceratinly had a couple of plonkers there by the sounds of it. Now know what they mean by using ballast - but didn't realise you had to go and collect it yourself
  6. I got one of these when they were first released about 3 years - best thing I ever did Our Sony TV has Freeview built in but rarely use it - mainly for the Dave channel. Saved £40 a month going into Sky's coffers, which to my mind is way over-priced unless you perhaps are big footie fan. Humax paid for itself in less than a year and were able to use the sky dish, so no extra cost there. We have the original 320gb hard drive and record quite a lot and yet I have have not seen in excess of 20% of hard disk useage. So, for example, if you want to record all the FI qualifying and races over the year - no problem
  7. Just about to approve your post Good luck - stunning wheels
  8. Wouldn't get many orders from 370 owners though
  9. Good news
  10. Moved - don't want to read about wanna-be racers in our 350 General section
  11. Moreton do have rooms with twin beds. If two 'singles' want to share a double room one will need to take on the booking role and register the room against their name and then sort out with their 'sharer' about payment. Remember a double room price is £54 whereas a single person occupying a room is £47, so for two singles sharing you each end up paying £27. Please ring them (01691776666) for availability, but dont delay . Any abuse of the arrangement will probably mean we all lose out for the future and if reported to us will mean those members will be banned from the forum - you have been warned. Thread tided.
  12. Good idea - create this as sharing thread for the Wales weekend. Have therefore edited the thread heading and moved it. Might help to save a few quid for the 'singles'
  13. Get a grip man - priorities - start off in married life as you mean to go on
  14. Wow, what a little gem -must get meself over there pronto - do you think they might take an offer The offer would be "how much will you pay me to take it to the local scrappie"
  15. A fill up with 99 at Tesco's at Horsham last Friday was £134.9
  16. As I mentioned in your other thread, I'll have one please, in black with the "Z" and "370z-uk.net" underneath please
  17. Looking forward to hearing that and I know Mark at Abbey is a fan of that exhaust so it looks like a great choice
  18. Am doing more miles in June's Jazz these days as that gets twice the mpg (and on 95 regular instead of the Tesco 99 I use in the ZED). Its probably more than twice the mpg thinking about it, with the syncro-rev and Stillen encouraging the spirited ZED driving

    Window seal

    Well spotted Malcolm - thread moved
  20. Same on mine - but I agree, a bit disconcerting when you first 'find' it on a manual. Had it checked at the service and it is normal.

    Noting the date on the pics you posted I trust this time we will see you at the right place on the 22nd May this year

    my pics

    Oh, don't say that you'll only get Beavis posting up his pro pics again
  23. You made the right decision about that red ZED. Remember you generally only get what you pay for. Here is the right way as regards wrapping and having had some done myself by KJ's firm, they do it the right way viewtopic.php?f=132&t=42694&hilit=wrapping
  24. Don't come much better than that (both ad and car ) Shame you are having to sell, your loss is going to be someones gain there. I see it has a tonneau, but not a Nissan one though.
