Ebized

18 months with a s/h '04 Blade GT and coming up to 2 years with a new '56 Ebisu GT still grinning

I have a 300 (296 bhp) but if in your position I would have the 309 bhp version. Only gripes I have heard is that engine mods for 309, which is radically different from ther 276/296 versions, are are not so freely available as it has had only had a relatively short life and with the 370Z that is arriving soon tuners are not investing mods for that engine But if engine mods are not your thing then go for the 309

Sorry, but cats are my 'pet' hate - bloody scratches they have left on my cars as they slide off Bucket of water is the least they deserve IMO

oh, you sweetie

And there's me thinking it was the naughty ones you liked - I will be try and be nice just for you in future

Identification plate (one of the last pics in the link) seems to confirm 19" and all other info I have seen seems to suggest that will be standard fit

There's an offer Stew - especially after you have showed her how to do it rather than just doing it for her, knowing she has to grip it a bit harder and yank it harder"

Dont suppose you are able to post a photo of the interior of the 296 so i can see the difference ? What more do you want to see than that I posted above

.......and we know from Sunday that you are not going to stay sensible

An arm AND a leg! JDM Performance did a kit for this at reasonable money IIRC. Worth giving Chris a PM. This link might help you as to how it should be done : http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15928

Thanks so much for that, theres another one near me for £13.5k is 6months older but only has 19k on the clock (however it needs taxing and still 2 new tires). Might be a better buy. Is it worth holding out for the 296bhp version ? Having had both a 276 and now a 296 version I would honestly say that the slightly better torque characteristic of the 276 makes that engine better for the ZED, and although the 296 that does rev a little higher for everyday motoring is barely noticable. There are also some oil consumption issues with some of the 296 engines (not the GT4's) that has been put down to round pistons in oval bores - how true that I'm not sure but it only seems to have affected a small percentage of the 296 engines. I use about a litre of oil every 5k miles, whereas with the 276 engined ZED I had before I found the oil consumption between services was virtually nil. Where the 296 engined ZED does score is the interior improvements - there is a whole host of details that make it a much more satisfactory place to be - not that there is anything wrong with the former version but again, having had both the present one is far more satisfying in that respect for me. At the end of the day it down to your budget, but there are so many being advertised at the moment at what are give-away prices, compared to less than 6 months ago, you are bound to find a package that will give you the biggest and driving pleasure - believe me I have loads of performance cars before the ZED and nothing comes close to the overall package it offers for the money, hence my sig.

Just paid 101.something for BP Ultimate in Epsom. I thought it was 98ron but noticed as I was filling up the pump label says 97 - clue me up please

I have a 296bhp 2006 coupe. I am afraid the car you are looking at is a 276bhp version - immediate tell take signs looking at your pics on photobucket is the interior and the front 'bumper' does not have the indent - see pics below. Nothing wrong with the 276 - but they are advertising somthing it isn't and value-wise it's not such a bargain. The Rays look repairable - pm me if you want further info. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but better you know before you buy Colin

Delivery seems a bit steep Martin's got to have a little mark-up to finance his mods next year

Remind me, what is your new kit, seem to remember the odd post about something you were having done

You looked a bit worried about us changing lane to lane speeding up tryng to get a pic of you paparazzi style When you get to a certain age you do get a bit camera shy

That's excellent news and what with no ads hopefully this will lead some some quality viewing

Have you got a new bodykit or something Mark?................................ Classic

Luving this pic

Surely the 370 will have a different plate size holder for the UK or I agree its gonna look poor

Take care with unknown buyers mate - one of the forum members lost his Integra on the demo drive to two muggers recently

I'm always a little surprised when owners say they can't hear callers very well - just turning up the speaker volume does the trick. And when speaking I 'aim' at the mic and turn up 'my volume' if I've got some deaf old so and so on the other end Naturally there' always the times when reception is poor or no signals are available but that I find is quite rare with o2 - although the Scottish Highlands is a challenge.

Nice car - now why didn't Tim (Lomoto) buy it rather than that pimpmobile he just bought

Works fine for me and I have never had any real problems with the hands free, apart from 'Ms Pardon' who does not seem to understand English at times
