  1. Welcome to the forum Steering wheel and guages suggests it is a UK car - but the rear number plate area - oblong (UK) or squarish (Jap). Unusual to have 'speaking' reversing sensors
  2. Thread title amended

    Tyre Pressure

    Just use one of the cig sockets - either the one in the central storage cubby by your elbow or the one next to the pasxenger glovebox. On my pump guage the reading at 2.4 bar is more like 33psi when checking with a more accurate guage so you might want to check the readings

    Tyre Pressure

    Think you will find that is another option the UK market does not enjoy (like the fact the mnaual says you can raise and lower the windows with the key fob, but you can't here). All to do with the ECU changes when the UK alarm/immobliser is added I believe. The good news is that the tyre pump supplied with the car is pretty good, but check the valve isn't leaking and if not that sounds like you picked up a nail or something Hopefully in a repairable part of the tyre tread.
  5. Locked as item sold
  6. If you are limited to a pre 23/3/06 car you are unlikely to find anything other than a 276 ZED.
  7. Trust you carded him Will
  8. Well done Alex And loving your new sig but hey I did not realise you had two beasts and one is a left hooker
  9. As you are kicking your heels at the mo..... (sorry about that ) perhaps you can see what could be set up for next year? The team are currently sorting out the calendar of events for 2011 so it would be good to slot one in, say spring time next year when the weather is usually wet
  10. Looks like you had some fun and a good introduction to finding your cars limits, as the title says. Certainly something we should be looking at as a forum and yes, best on a wet day to start with and being a little easier on tyres.
  11. It was offered whan I mentioned about the need to renew the rather measely 1 year cover from new and guess the odd reference to this forum might have helped
  12. Have you seen this guide - it is a manual, but..... ? http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-do-y ... -370z.html
  13. Strange it seems to suggest the 'applied vehicles' is limited roadster version of the 370 though?
  14. Yes, over a year old now (although I bought on New Years Eve) so with 6k miles coming up its first service was due. Local Nissan dealer (Wilsons of Epsom) were not up to the job as they had no trained technicans although they had satisfactorily serviced my previous 350's, so off to find a Nissan 'Performance' centre to get the all important stamp. Having heard Will350z's experience of Motorline Nissan at Tunbridge Wells, decided to entrust the service to them together with a 4-wheel laser check. And I have to say I was very pleased with the way they dealt with me and GUNS. Straight away my car was driven off the forecourt away from potential doorbangers, and then June and I having been dropped off in the town and then picked up when the work was done GUNS was parked on my return in a safe place away from other cars. Upon inspection, no harm done (always a worry having had some bad experinces in the past) but what really impressed is that the service manager Ian Fraser could not have been more helpful - perhaps me showing a pics of GUNS at events when I arrived helped to confirm my enthusiasm for the 370. Having supplied my own oil (Silkolene Pro) the bill came to just over £200 for the service; engine flush: 4wheel alignment check/adjustment and a year of Nissans RAC breakdown cover, which for this part of the world seemed quite reasonable. Pleased to say that driving the car since has confirmed all is well, although the technician pointed out that the front discs are showing signs of slight distortion which I have since monitored and have noticed is getting more pronounced. The 370 is certainly more prone to low speed tramlining than my previous two 350's and I had not really noticed anything else before the service. Hence the 4-wheel check after having tried directional tyres (Falken 452's on the 19" Nismos) to see if that made any difference compared to the OEM non-directional Stones 050A's, but the tramlining was just the same so I guess the suspension set-up is responsible. But once you get up to speed the issue disappears so no big deal, but the disc distortion is something I am going to get done as that can be expected to get worse. So all in all I was happy with the experience at Motorline Nissan TW and would not hesitate to go back there. Anyone else on here would be advised to call Ian Fraser 01892 500700 and mention your 350z-uk membership
  15. Welcome to the forum Yep, quite a lot of us scattered around Surrey now - next meet/drive, if you can't do the lunch meet tomorrow at the Grasshopper : viewtopic.php?f=93&t=42422
  16. Heard these guys can be OK, but not used them myself. http://www.jaycarsltd.co.uk/what-we-do/
  17. Sorry Chippy - have just seen your posts on the The370.com. Previously I had searched under ipodTSB and that one posted is what I got back Can't find a UK version of the TSB you are looking for at the moment so I suggest a visit to the dealer is the answer or a query to to Nissan Customer Services. Seems like you will need the 3 discs to do an upgrade anyway and they are limited to Nissan garages I guess
  18. Is this the one? _Page_1.jpg] _Page_2.jpg]
  19. Come on Colin, thats a bit of a generalisation. They are not all that bad I agree that Talk Talk CS are pretty bad from the experience i had but Dell sales and customer support for example are indian call centre based and their English is fine. I've had enough bad experiences of off-shore call centres that I will opt, wherever possible, for a supplier who does not use their 'services'. Period.
  20. You told them that the purpose was to increase the mpg though?
  21. Its better than yours
  22. I'm with o2 (Broadband and mobile business) and no issues and you at least get to speak with someone on our island, unlike when Talk Talk who took over Tiscali Pipex, both of whom were a pain with the Indian call centres. For me its not so much the cost but advice when needed and you can speak to someone who has some commonsense and and you not trying to decipher the broken English being read off a screen....
  23. See what we can do, especially as unplanned events conspired to keep you away in September
  24. Club stickers available from M13KYF once 350 posts reached - see here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=12347 beg nicely
  25. Thread locked due to sale
