Just thinking about this - two pics - one in their teens and another one as up to date as possible. Send them to one person by a deadline who then scambles them for posting up in one go and the member who guesses the most right by a stated date, gets free membership on here for a year (unless another of our trade members wants to better that hugely generous prize ) Does not have to be a team member - just someone prepared to host the pics and and pms and not open to bribes, except mine Hows that?

Another one gone very quickly - thread locked

Spill the beans - that was largely on the 370 you borrowed and took for a 800 mile or so fling around Wales

Waste of money IMHO - the best 'insurance' is to make sure the car has been properly checked before buying it.

This is true, I said goodbye to hair gel a long long time ago... Colin, great pictures How does the 370 compare to the beetle? I said goodbye to hair a long time ago The only common things between the Beetle and 370 are they both rear wheel drive - there any comparisons stop Reminds me, the earlier pic of me standing alongside NVJ420 (at the Normandy Hill ranges when I was 18) - it was oval windowed and rescued from a breakers yard and the paint on that was so thick, even on the underside, that despite being used in autocross and trials, was intact - no chance of that on the 370!

I wasn't quite sure if he meant F1 should be banned or he was offering up himself for one after that comment

Abbey motorsport (trader on here) would be your best bet - as they know the 350's so well. I just had my 370 checked at Nissan Tunbridge Wells (one of the performance dealers as my local Nissan garage could not help ). I believe their normal charge is about £90 but I didn't have to pay that

Pleased to hear you have no more problems getting it up or down now Mart, even in the cold weather

Too much information........but glad to see you two got it off together

The aging process can be so cruel...... But just to make you feel better Graham still a petrol-head over 40 years later...........

Here is a link to how to get the 350 knob off (Nissan official procedure) http://www.nissanhelp.com/diy/z/project ... emoval.htm Whether the same principle applies to a 370 though

And Ferrari are potentially in deeper engine trouble, especially with Massa out of the title running http://www.mibz.com/24511-ferrari-f1-te ... eason.html So I expect Whitmarsh, Hamilton & Co are quietly smiling although sadly Button is running out of excuses............

Welcome to the forum - great news another Surrey owner. Will350z has a Kuro roadster and he's not far away at Deepcut nr Guildford And do come along to the meet Darren-B has mentioned

Are you saying that because of the used engines issue, apart from the points lost? I seem to recall RB have got through their quota of unused engines, or is it just Mark and not Seb?

For thread read post

Welcome to the forum I am way down south, but prefer to drive your local roads One you will recognize when I was following Stew, after the 2009 Hoon

Locked, as this duplicates the thread below in the correct section: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=42374

You have VERY expensive dreams Ian

Theres loads of threads on here to help you - do an advanced search Here is sample: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=36650&hilit=roadster+rear+spoiler

If the wheels were supplied new with the car and are less than 3 years old I would visit a Nissan dealer and see if they will support a warranty claim or at least a goodwill gesture - which can sometimes be secured, and even if they a little more than 3 years old. Surprised you did not query the condition though at the time of your purchase? And yes, if they were bought as 'aftermarket' wheels than the 3-year protection would not apply. First thing is to establish if they were supplied with the car from new - check with the supplying dealer. But having said all that, Nissan might say it is the way they have been cleaned, albeit not in your ownership and noting you have not used the metal polish shown in the pic, or other abrasive cleaner to further affect the lacquer. Given a set of Nismo wheels currently command s/h prices well over a grand, even if not in perfect condition, it is certainly worthwhile getting something done, particularly as they are such a great looking wheel.

I see you have a 2007/8 ZED there with the optional Nismos - or do you know if they were not new when the car was first purchased? But I believe you car also has a Nismo exhaust and rad cap so perhaps the previous owner has added them? Otherwise, if they were supplied with the car from new it is surprising the wheels have deterioated in such a relatively short time and if less than 3 years old it makes me think you might have a warranty claim (in the same way earlier 350 owners have had the standard Rays wheels replaced due to paint bubbling). But...... But I am a little curious as to how you have cleaned them - what have you used seeing the products shown in your pic you posted up some while back? I am assuming the wheels were not in their present state when you bought th car?

That all goes together so well - credit to you

Yeah, is that no good then? As Abbey's Project ZED shell was originally built in the US that should answer your question

I like to think I am a young man in an old(ish) body that ain't working either I definitely would not have a Merc - I would really feel old then
