we've seen your holiday snaps so your just one of us Ha ha .... such as what, I didn't have my camera when I went into Spearmint Rhino, Las Vegas! (well I did but they take it off ya!) A gentleman never takes bedrooms scenes

No, I must resist

I have exactly the same thing with a chap next door to me! He has got a new TT and thought he was the muts nuts, painfully revving it all the time......well that was until I got the Z out the garage about a week after he has moved in!! He seems to have now developed a complex about having his car on the drive when the Z is out!! Nice one

Do you do the same when on the tug

We'll get you a girl if it kills us! haha NIXY

I'm not getting involved in this thread Nixy will alreadty be throwing her handbag around

+1 I agree - not sure if the richer/better fueling is having a slightly greater impact on mpg or its me using the loud pedal more. Round my way Ultimate can be up to 10p more a litre than Tesco 99 and I reckon over a year the saving will help to pay the increased tax bill as prior to the budget, and then hearing views on the forum about the different petrols, I had stuck religously to Ultimate. Also, you get the club card points - helps the wine bill

Sarnie: Remember, if you are going to repaint yours black now, when you go down to B&Q to get the paint tell 'em its gloss you want as matt would not reflect your big grin as you walk up to admire it

tut, tut, - having strangers in your car while hubby is away

Do that in mine and you know about it. I wouldn't call it jerky - more like hitting a wall! Try hitting the limiter in a lambo! The engine cuts out totally irrespective of what speed your doing so lights go out and power steering non existent and there is no flashing light indicator either No worries Sarnie - all quite normal for Italian cars - the electrics doing their own thing

Sorry, finally got around to getting some of the 700 pics I took up! WARNING: Some of Jacko's boring holiday shots in here At least you'll see some of the two shelby's we had on here: http://s94.photobucket.com/albums/l84/Jacko350z/USA%202007/?start=all Love the Bodie and Doyle pic but those two wannabes do need to get to the gym to be the full monty

Quite well, we have agreed that she can have some extra coin towards a mortgage if I can have 300 quid a month for a car, I managed to get my insurance down to around £700 fully comp with some online search tools and hope to get it down even further by ringing folk up and tailoring the policy. Women and spreadsheets, the miracles of modern life Hey don't knock em - can be useful if you include them as a named driver to help getting the insurance quotes down (providing she ain't got 9 points, or similar

From someone who hides behind a mask - thats rich

Hi mbs and welcome. Cor, you have made my day, someone older than me (I'm on the right side of 60 but only just!)

Oh, just remembered, I also got a complimentary Z key ring from Nissan about a month after purchase.

Booklet on the anti-theft system. 2 booklets on Nissan Roadside Assistance in partnership with the RAC A video "Now the journey realy begins" (I binned it with the video a while back). Yes, the usual baggage of leaflets - except for one titled - "Driving your Passion" - containing 8, of what Nissan say, are the best driving roads in the UK and includes the B1183/4501 used on the North Wales run. Something I plan to investigate in the fullness of time V5 will come from DVLA. Dunno about your history letter - sounds like that might take some time with your well travelled ZED

Might be a reason for the relatively low insurance premiums too?

Sounds like you hit the 6500 'limiter' built in by Nissan for your car. However, the red light comes on at whatever 'limit' you choose to dial in on the 'up-shift indicator' - you could set it as low as 2000rpm if you wanted but it will not affect the car's built in limiter. I have my red light set at 6500rpm which is 100rpm below Nissan's recommended change up for my 2006 ZED, so as to get the best torque (grunt!) from the engine although the built in limiter dosen't kick in until 7000rpm. You have probably noticed the light flashes before it is constant at the dialled in limit, which I personally find more eye-catching to help warn of a change up when the engine note is being drowned by other noise (Usually Mrs E shouting at me to slow down ). I did make a lot of use of the change-up light in my current ZED (bought new), gradually increasing the limit from under the 4000rpm Nissan say for the running-in period, and then upwards in incremental periods afterwards. Many say running-in is not necessary and they may well be right, but I would rather not put undue strain on a new engine unnecessarily in the early part of its life, as well as other components in the car such as the gearbox and brakes. I my present ZED and may well keep it more than the 3 years I normally keep a car hence I have been particular about its early life. To be honest, the light is bit of a gimmick but you will have seen most racing cars use them these days and I guess Nissan saw the car being used on the track where the light's worth is greater . That is something I plan to test in due course.....

Welcome mate and good colour choice im(totally unbiased )o

+1 and slowly - and by jumping on them :rant:

If the lights are anywhere near the exhaust tail pipes then they may be needed, as mine fires out two foot long blue flames out when giving it some beans perhaps it prefers petrol

go for it - you only live once

I think perhaps for our car's needs, the bare minimum is all that it does need...? Would love to get Chris to do it, but Silverstone is a 700+ mile round trip for me. For the same price of petrol and an overnight stay I think I'd prefer to have a weekend break in Amsterdam and come home with change! ....and back with something else if have taken something for the weekend Sir....

Jacko said I could come if there was a lot less numbers Its a zed only meet. Okay Okay it was worth a try. You'll have to tell Mrs Sarnie that the new house she wants is on hold as you need to buy a ZED to come and play with us
