+1 especially depending on the work you want done, be very careful with the hourly rates charged. Some of the more "specialist" garages charge more for their expertise, so wouldnt use them for normal servicing etc, just for bigger jobs, but Tom and the chaps know their stuff and possibly the most competitive rates around How do you mean "specialist" garages Chris? Abbey and TDI? Generally those that have more knowledge (and experience doing engine builds, TT builds etc) which attract a higher rate, and rightly so, but for smaller jobs, where thats not required there are more economical alternatives. Just pointing out the options Not really on servicing, const difference is minimal unless your getting a deal. Also you will find that the "specialists" use the service parts offered by Nissan and also use Nissan CONSULT and have Nissan trained staff, thus you can still say that you have a FNSH. Personally I would pay that little bit more to people that work on 350z's / 370z's virtually every day of the week. Also happier to go to someone that has a connection with the clubs and has technical input And more referrals help your discount eh, noting your sig advert

For someone under 45 who bought their ZED new (or it was used as a demo by the Nissan dealer) and is within striking distance of Wimbledon and free on Monday evening 22nd March (a market research thing about 350's/370's) - please pm me. First come first served

Welcome to the forum. TGM sport at Fleet in Hampshire is a closer to you and although they gained their reputation with racing Hondas they have a particular like for 350/370's, and I have been very pleased with their work . Ask for Tom on 01252811972. http://www.tgmsport.co.uk

Hi Andy If it is a roadster you are after try Crawley Down Nissan (at Snow Hill, Copthorne) as they have a demo. Tel: 01342859200 and ask for either Ricky or Chris. If you are likely to be around Epsom at any time I'll also give you a demo in my coupe, which also makes a proper sports car noise

Yep, the omens are not good and I don't envy the pit crews at all - the pressure on them is even more critical so places on track are not lost.

Make sure that includes the locking nuts - replacement wheel costs are very

Think I'll change the title of this thread to posers meet Only jealous - but chuck Beavis off the the list he has already had his free pro photoshoot

I telll you what, I see far more Smith and Byford vans about than 350's/370's - and their all late for their next job

Certainly not an uprev (MY06) and looking at the offside damage and buckled rear rear (not mentioned on the ad) I would suggest that a full check underneath is done as I suspect there is more damage hiding there Be very wary

Yeah - as noted under the pic - if Nissan can supply it there why not here? When you look at what is available over there for 370's, compared to so little on offer over here from either Nissan or after-market suppliers, it is frustrating.

Not surprisingly Nissan UK were unable to suply any Storm White touch-up paint for the inevtiable stone chips. That available on the net seemed to be silly prices and frankly for small chips the 3-stage stuff seems over the top. Having saw the mud guards on Motorsport Auto, noticed they also did a touch-up paint that has a roller ball tip with a separate brush - just $6.90. Although it does not include the lacquer the test looks very good so a an extra fiver or so seems money well spent. Will be visiting the local Nissan dealer with the touch-up, after the parts guy insisted Nissan do not supply it - but they certainly do across the pond

Just arrived today from Motorsport Auto (excellent service) - saved about £100 compared to Nissan prices here which sound cheap at first but they are come unpainted, unlike in the States. Colour and pearlescent finish looks good. Decided on these having looked at the 370's flanks and the way the rear bumper extends under and behind the rear wheels - far more so than with the 350's. And hopefully it will mean those following are not peppered as much Wheels off and a jacked up job to fit (a few holes to be drilled) so pics to come when done.

So much will depend on which car is best suited for the new Regs - Brawn stole it last year so it will be interesting to see which team leads off this year. Don't write Jenson off too soon - he is the one that will make the tyres last, given no fuel stops will frustrate tyre changes for those like Lewis who tend to kill their tyres. Whilst I would agree Lewis may be a better 'racer' but that natural instinct may be his undoing, if he has shot his tyres too early in the race. But then I alawys like to see an 'underdog' win through and Jenson was written off by many on here last year but he got the crown........

Stalking again Colin, still makes a change from kerb crawling in Epsom High Street

Could do with you notifying the hotel that you are part of our group Will help with taking up our allocation. I got it covered Dave

I would agree and if you say you can visually see the inside of one rear tyre is worn that combination could well be why you are getting the TC issues. Of course the fact you burnt off a few millimetres of rubber in those drag starts of yours would be immaterial

Welcome to the forum The reason why we have ZEDs is that they are unquestionably one of the best drivers cars for the money. Don't worry about mpg, expecially if you are not doing high mileage - the whole point of owning one is the factor each you get in and drive it. If you enjoy spirited driving you will not be disappointed and for £12k there are some good examples out there and some of the best will be from members on here who have a real passion for their motors and take that extra care in looking after them

I might drive one, but have yet to see another on the road - it was the same with the 350's as rarely did I see one of them but then when you get to the meets and see some fabulous looking examples it's nice to know others have got good taste too

Hi and welcome to the forum Greekman on here is in your part of the world with a Night Blue roadster. Probably holds the record for tyre and brake wear as he loves to track his ZED, well once he fell off it (at Brands) but I'll let him explain that

Nice find

..and let us know what Opie say, please
