Is that all, I've got about 550 miles to do to get to the start Seriously, whether you are coming straight from home or staying overnight just make sure you have filled up as close as possible to FA. Last year we were running on fumes after some 300 miles of Stews 180 mile route Whatever, you will enjoy it and the great thing I find about the ZED is that I never feel tired after a days driving - it is so effortless, but so rewarding that you just yearn for more

Is the 350 a comfortable cruiser?
Ebized replied to Hardy87's topic in Introductions & Welcome Messages
Welcome to the forum and yes, the ZED is a great cruiser, but has the essential turn of speed and handling that makes it a really great driver's car. Try one -
14bhp, but unless you are circuit racing, on the road there is little in it between the 276, 296 and 309bhp models. Frankly the 276 is probably best for typical road use, pound for pound. This thread explains some more: viewtopic.php?t=1781 or do a search on 'model differences' in the General section for more info

Having been on this forum for some 3 years I would say more ZEDs seem to have this 'issue' than don't and rarely ever has it been reported that it led to actual clutch/release bearing/flywheel/gearbox problems. I had it my 04 ZED and sometimes hear it in my current 56 ZED - a trait that seems nothing to worry about. There is no doubt that the gearchange is not 'sweet' until the box has warmed up and I always give the throttle a little blip when going up or down the gears when cold, particuarly into and out of 2nd gear, to help the engine speed match the transmission speed and hopefully prolong the life of the syncros

Again its a pre-facelift but the price is better. Guess you are local to me (Epsom) and also 'Cavey' on here (we are both Colins!). He has an pre-facelift Azure convertible and which was bought from Wilsons. I have a 2006 facelift coupe if you want to compare the changes or I can perhaps give you a few pointers if you want to pm me

A man is dining in a fancy restaurant and there is a gorgeous redhead sitting at the next table. He has been checking her out since he sat down, but lacks the nerve to talk with her. Suddenly she sneezes, and her glass eye comes flying out of its socket toward the man. He reflexively reaches out, grabs it out of the air, and hands it back. 'Oh my, I am so sorry,' the woman says as she pops her eye back in place.... 'Let me buy your dinner to make it up to you,' she says. They enjoy a wonderful dinner together, and afterwards they go to the theatre followed by drinks. They talk, they laugh, she shares her deepest dreams and he shares his. She listens. After paying for everything, she asks him if he would like to come to her place for a nightcap and stay for breakfast. They had a wonderful, wonderful time. The next morning, she cooks a gourmet meal with all the trimmings. The guy is amazed. Everything had been SO incredible! 'You know,' he said, 'you are the perfect woman. Are you this nice to every guy you meet?' 'No,' she replies. . . Wait for it. . It's coming. . The suspense is killing you, isn't20it? She says: 'You just happened to catch my eye.'

There's some irony there - no work to keep employed on the ground but billions about to waste in space

Bought a new 350 - small problem

ZMANALEX will know - try a pm Geee thanks Colin The codes that you are getting are inconclusive and I would suggest dropping into your nearest Nissan Centre and ask them to plug in there hand held code reader and pull the codes. Also ask them to give you a print out of the codes stored and archived before they delete them. Any friendly Nissan Centre should do this for you without a prior appointment or monetery charge. I am asumming that you do not have a code reader. The codes that you are pulling manually: Generic DTC defininition for 065 or 0065 is Air Assisted Injector Control Range / Performance. Nissan Specific DTC Values for 1065 is ECM Power Supply. Okay, now we have a code (1065) and a DTC Value but that is not much help as that covers a multitude of potential issues so you really require to follow my recomendation and get your fault codes read properly. Once you have them then post them up or pm me and I will talk you through the fix. Below explains what I am trying say regarding where the potential issues lie, but relax because this is not serious or expensive unless your ECU, BCM or IPDM is on its way out but this is highly unlikely as when they fail they usually fail completely. Electronic Control Modules are subsystems consisting of CPUs and assorted signal inputs and outputs dedicated to controlling a component within the vehicle. They range in complexity from an Engine Control Unit which handles the logic for managing the power-train system efficiency, to an Anti-lock Braking (ABS) Control unit that monitors vehicle speed and brake fluid, to a simple body module that controls the automatic door locks or power windows. In many cases, these modules communicate to each other through such protocols as CAN, LIN, J1850, and J1959. Hope this helps. Alex. Having dropped that one on you Alex I'll see you right at the bar on the Hoon in September - but top man for the answer, most of which goes way over my head but if that don't help phinnies1 out nothing will! -

Ever so sorry I did not read this thread before now having skipped over the title but very happy to contribute to a worthy cause, and offer my belated condolences Colin

I can remember Big Phil saying early last year that you can get ones that that sit behind the bumper and are not seen and he was trying them out on one of his cars. Not sure how they would work but perhaps someone on here knows - fletch perhaps?

You know, that looks really good Maybe dark smoked reflectors might suit now? ps: need to update your sig now

Quote: A Tesco spokesman said of the attack: "We’re sorry to hear this happened." Is that really the best they could offer when their premises has been used to commit a crime Fortunately the scroats did not know how the start the ZED but it does make you think that the Black-jax anti-jacking device that Clifford make could be a worhwhile investment

and moody vid Jotun, even if it is unfinished - hopefully UK56 ZED makes the final cut

What does your oil pressure gauge read on idle?!
Ebized replied to cfoster's topic in 350Z Technical
You and me both. Mines just gone off the scale But having cooled down, normal reading is around 15 at idle and 60 at 70mph (296bhp engine) -
Zazur's location might have something to do with that

I find a soft tooth brush, dampened, does the trick and wipe off with a good microfibre cloth. Personally I wouldn't use washing-up liquid as that undermines the very polish/wax that has just been put on Chris is very brave 'detailing' his with a stanley knife I tend to use a toothpick particularly when gunge gets under the rubber seals around the windows or they sometimes turn in on themselves and the t'pick helps to lift them out flat again. Always use a t'pick for touching in stone chips, rather than a brush. So if you see me nicking the picks off resturant tables you now know why
