Welcome to the forum Was in Melbourne last April - a spectacular city and we enjoyed the Great Ocean Road for the first time With family in Canberra and Brisbane and a place that sis has in Bermagui, we get out there as much as we can

Cheers Stan - and given we might have another excuse to come your way soon

I hope this is not going to mean this thread going downhill form here More seriously, yes I guess that could be the answer John - just annoyed I haven't got the scissor jack to try out the Nismos from the 350. Looks like halfrauds might be getting a visit!

For some strange reason that I have not been able to work out, the 370 is supplied with a wheel nut brace but there is no scissor jack or handle in my car? OK, so we have the tyre sealant and pump so theoretically there is no need to change wheels - but why have the wheel brace Or, is my car missing the jack and handle? But before going back to the dealer can anyone with a 370 let me know if they do have the jack and handle, or theirs is just like mine? Thanks

Decided to check my tyres pressures today after a quick top-up using a machine at a filling station on Sunday. Needless to say the pressures were down on the 35psi they should be. So, I tried the electric pump supplied with the car (as we don't get a spare wheel and get the pump and tyre sealant instead) and it worked at treat. Pressures should only be checked when tyres are cold. So having a pump on board means it is easily checked at home - a bonus as how many times have you found the filling station pumps not working The socket lead is long enough for the pump to easily reach all 4 wheels from the socket in the glove box. 35psi = 2.4 bar - as that is the measure used on the pump guage. The pump was as powerful as most you find at filling stations (and no need to set the desired pressure) so it took less than a minute or so to do each tyre (bringing each tyre up from 31.5 psi to 35) I let the pump run until it read 2.5 bar on the guage as I then found on unscrewing the pump lead, meant losing a little air in the process, and on my own guage that I trust gave me the 35psi. Quite impressed The only very minor downside was getting the supply cables wound up small enough to get them both back in the compartment on the pump

Not on the second car that also has orange leather whereas the first has black and we are told the seats are to be red. Can't rely on thse shots to confirm final production run, but the dark grey is No change to the standard exhaust that can be seen in those pics .

No bloody titanium about it - its a straight forward Nismo, having got on close working terms recently with the exhaust off my 350.

No haggis I'm afraid - but I'll have 2 wee drams to make up

The car's a dog altogther

Which means that if you are unlucky and catch the lips on the kerbs (not too badly), with a lot of patience (Husky style - see his thread on polishing Nixy's exhaust) you can recover the original look

Its already cost me a fortune in compensatory holidays and handbags not sure how much more I can get away with or afford But yes, some of the Zele mods are ace http://www.370zblog.com/category/tuners/zele/

and the greater the wheel size used, such as 20" , the lower the tyre profile making this type of damage more likely unfortunately

because as it may be as Sparky or Sarnie says, but if its an import it could be other things including, IIRC, a connection for a device used for toll road payments

Great find there Stew Not for the feint hearted, eh

Lost count how many times this shot has been posted - but here is the interior of a MY06 (facelift) UK 350 with the optional Alezan leather. The Brodit phone holder and extended socket for the charger was used as it means no holes/sticky things on the interior trim, whilst the curley lead going behind the pod provides power to a Snooper.

Yep OK now with that link

Nope

Tiff has to be one of the best test drivers around - whereas Clarkson likes to think he is. VBH is also far and away a better driver than Clarkson and we all know her passion for the 350 so I know which opinions carry weight in my book

Brilliant, and a copper using a bit of sense

Utter waste of time - when I did (way back having just turned 50 ) they were the dearest by far - remember it was around £750 for a Scooby turbo - reckon they said an old git driving one of those would be a real risk Currently paying about £350 for no claims and legal protection, no garage (private drive parking), mods (replacements have to be OEM but as they cost more I can live with that) , outskirts of London - was with Privledge but now Admiral for last two years - see what happens at renewal in March

Thread now locked due to sale

OK guys let's keep it on topic - there's nothing wrong with the spelling
