  1. oh, if I must then The best colour up front
  2. Might just need to be re-gassed at a guess
  3. Get a meet list started for 2011 so, I'd be there! le mans meet id be there Husky earlier at work: "I don't know what the whole Le Mans thing is about" Husky now: "See you next year at Le Mans!" All it needed was a few zeds to tempt him there. I really should be leaving now, hope my passenger arrives soon... The answer simple, you know anthing wolf-like likes to hunt in packs
  4. Dunno why, the brewery thing and having a drink or more there just keeps popping into my head
  5. I wonder if it still does, or if it has metamorphosized into a pile of
  6. There's your answer Believe me I'm not trying to spend your money for nothing - just your own safety and so you can enjoy the full potential of your ZED, which as things stand you can't. If you are having doubts about the car's set up and think its not the tyres then get a 4-wheel laser check done to see if anything obvious is wrong with the alignment etc.
  7. The 370 comes with a can and no spare. Mine dosen't any more as it has a spare, so I am carying more weight but when I go to th depths of Wales and Scotland I feel a whole lot more at ease knowing I can get home if I have a puncture. If you have anything other than a very basic puncture there is a good chance the 'air in a can jobby' won't get you home. And for those who rely on the breakdown services -if you are in a poor signal area you may have a long wait...........
  8. Good to have you along and thanks for puttiing on a terrific display and making a couple of the more dirtier Zeds that stayed behind on the Saturday more respectable Watch this space as they say, we might be back sooner rather than later. I'll get the T & C's sent to you - hope you will agree the £50 annual fee will be a good annual investment

    Alternative tyres

    errrrr Hugh - don't think many 370 owners will have changed their tyres or yet to say what is good and not or indeed looked to find out what tyre options are available for the 370 rims But I have kept the Nismos which have Falken 452's on and they fit the 370, especially now I have the 20mm spacers that are needed at the rear with those rims but yet to use them in anger - must find time for a swop over
  10. So both you and Demo49 have(had) the Avon Z33's on the rear with Stones on the front and both getting similar problems - think that says it all........
  11. I beg to differ. Bridgestone 040's are a totally different tyre to their 050s, for example. Its not a question of being the same make its their composition, aside from the usual basics like size etc. Also, wear will have an effect. If you are finding 'zero' issues geoff-r with the mix you have on then you are limiting how far you are pushing your Zeds through the corners because you could well find that you have have a sudden loss of traction that could be expensive. I know from my two previous ZEDs that once the tread depth gets down below 4/5mm (with all four tyres the same) the grip levels signfcantly deterioate and the traction light will start kicking in - yes the ZEDs can be quite sensitive in the tyre department hence why I am banging on about not cutting corners (sorry about the pun ) when it comes to tyres. As an anology - just look at the difference compounds in the same make of racing tyre can have. The same principles carry forward into everyday car tyres - OK not to the extremes (normally ) that racing tyres are subjected to but mixing tyre type is never going to be right - any decent manufacturer, tyre supplier will tell you that. The only explainable reason it is done is either to save money and/or that matching tyres were not available. Demo49 - you have not said how worn are the front tyres (in fact have we seen pics of your ZED yet ) but the chances are that if the Dealer replaced the rears that says to me the fronts are likely to be at least half worn so if you are down to 4/5mm of tread that will certainly not be helping. Have you also checked the pressures (35psi all round when cold). But I would certainly suggest that one the first 'mods' you should be thinking about are 4 good tyres that are all the same Edit: Ekona has just beaten me to it so what hes says I agree 100%
  12. Thread locked - this is a for sale thread not a bickering one and enough has been said for anyone interested in purchasing the car to verify with the current owner, or previous owners if they so choose. Barx: if you have a issue with your thread being locked contact any team member you see online.
  13. See they teach you guys a new language in the army then
  14. No contest Just keep refreshing the searches - that's how I found mine - one miniute no ad, the next it popped up - rang the dealer immediately - £500 (refundable) deposit down within 5 minutes (car only 68 miles on the clock and £3k of list last December when there were far fewer around), saw the car next day and deal done, with a trade-in that was some £2.5 better than any other I had been offered (also agreed on the phone that was subject to seeing the 350). A great result for me, but I had been looking since the end of September
  15. So you didn't resolve it from a previous thread of yours viewtopic.php?f=27&t=28290&hilit=Bose+code Here is the radio/av manual - bottom of page AV4 is relevant for you
  16. I can confirm that the team have also been very concerned about what is going on and I will make sure this latest update is conveyed. Just very sorry to read members seem to be when seeking answers to their queries and not getting goods they have ordered
  17. Happy birthday buddy - shame I am not in Wales to take you on a good .... up and given what you did for me on my B/D Might even have got you a new high-viz jacket But in the meantime - have a good-un
  18. are you talking about these (picked for clarification) or something else viewtopic.php?f=10&t=37049&p=556064&hilit=boot#p556064
  19. Take your pick viewforum.php?f=62 Only 16 pages to look at
  20. Not yet but mate Good idea as it may be cheaper on postage to "GB" . i'll email the seller and see what he can do. If anyone else is interested please pm me £25 then please to 350Z-uk, as a member trader
  21. As I know you have the exhaust Chris, just try lifting it on your own on your back and noting where the new pipes will connect and getting access to the holding lugs. Tom at TGM found it was easier on mine to unscrew the lugs from the boot floor - fit them to the box and then rescrew in place with the box and its weight meant he had two helping him to do that. The Stillen back box is considerably heavier than the OEM box BTW. Which is starnge is that I found the Nismo back box for the 350 considerably lighter than the standard OEM 350 back box For what Tom charges it is a no brainer, IMO.
