I think the first one points to the metal folding roof hinted at recently

 

and if look carefully you can see the joins on the pillars

I'm off to get a new pair of glasses, budger if I can see the joins

Next meet at Cowfold is 9.30 on Sun 9th Sept if anyone wants to come along.

 

Is the meet still on, as this thread has gone quite for while?

 

Went past the cafe today - full of bikers around midday, but would be good to see a lots of ZEDS, and I am sure a few Smarts could sqeeze in too.

 

I shall be there

With me that makes 2 - anymore?

Andy, or do we call you Sir now?

s|114 said "Very nice Andy, i would be worried about them using your number plate though"

Cheaterfield said: "Tell them they have missed the 350z-uk.com sticker off the back"

Easy solution then - tell them to put 350z uk as the number plate

Congrats again on your win - I trust they will give you a free game

Can anyone with an import confirm this? I've just looked at the PDF handbook which applies to US cars I think and the clock is not listed. And I'm never late! Well nearly never.......

 

Sorry, Nixy, I've just picked up on this thread. I don't have a clock setting on my import either - the sequence I have is just as you describe it. I bought a cheap after market digital clock which I have mounted in my sat-nav bracket in the cubby. I just remove on the odd occasions when I need to use the sat-nav.

Now we know for definite Nixy - you have no clock in the small guage. The Nissan Europe manual for Bose audio systems does not mention anything about a clock function, but keep your fingers crossed someone who has an import with the original Jap audio set-up can say if has a clock - it would be unusual for a relatively modern car not to have a clock at all

OK, have a great time in meccico - but don't get blown away though by the Cat 5!

You've done well for someone who has a face as a punching bag haha.

I think WOLF do a 330bhp conversion now. Thats a fair bit of power for a FWD car.

 

Too much IMO, power is nothing if you can't plant it.

Exactly - and if you used that power for much of the time you would need to plan trips via tyre outfits

Im off to Mexico on Wednesday for two weeks in the sun

 

so wont be around for next two weeks, dont miss me too much lol

 

Just heard there is a Hurricain might hit Cancun though

 

They say its Catagory 5

Don't forget you're coming back on Sunday for the South East meet at Cowfold - you said a little while back on that thread: "Andy if its not far from you would you mind if we mrt up on the way and ill follow you down".

Not letting us down now are you??

So, no drive out then? Glad you got a waterproof camera Chris and good pics considering, with the UY's standing out in the gloom.

Down here in the lower latitudes I couldn't resist a a trip to the coast but the sun, it was so bright........ Drove past a Lotus 7 meet at Bexhill, 50+ cars sunning themselves on the esplanade - bet they were glad their meet was not at Buxton

Next meet at Cowfold is 9.30 on Sun 9th Sept if anyone wants to come along.

Anyone off here going?

 

if so see you there

 

Whats a £50z??

Trust Sarnie to spot a £ sign

im with sarnie , i fitted my popcharger without that steel bowl thing the MAF bit bolted directly on to the blue filter part, i ordered from mynismo at christmas ended up being a shade under 100 without the customs sting

 

I thought that too, I never had or need that adapter thingy

Careful Sarnie, you're getting a bit technical.....

Sorry for stupidity what does a grounding kit do???????? And why didnt the car come with one????

Sounds like one of those things that drag on the ground, supposedly so that passengers did not

It just doesn't have the hotrod look of the last gen M3. RS4 shows how to make an ordinary car look purposeful without Impreza-style wings etc.

+1

Audi are certainly producing some good performance cars now that drive well and look the business without being over the top (love the R8 with the exception of the "here I am" LEDs ), whilst the BM's have got stuck in styling rut that is getting ever more boring.

Looks like you had great day - when they need a stand in I'm ready and just an hour away from Brands (M25 allowing!)

The juddering when pulling away in 1st I'm told is normal. Mine has done it from new also and the dealer recons they all do it!

I don't get any juddddddddering on my current 06 car nor the previous 04 model - yes there is a bit of an art getting away smoothly, other than when leaning on the loud pedal and you do have to floor the clutch to ensure a smooth change from 1st to 2nd when in traffic etc. I tend to blip the throttle on those change-ups to help the process as well as double de-clutching on the way down through the box when maxing the performance and so as to use the engine braking that provides. The noise is so intoxicating I guess that encourages me to that way of driving anyway. I expect driver input with a performance car, but then that what makes the Z such a pleasure. When I had couple of Scooby Turbos a while back - yes they were a great drive in any conditions, but frankly the 4-wheel drive made even an inexperienced driver look OK...

When I drive Mrs Ebizeds Jazz there is so little driver input to make any difference you tend to get a bit lazy,and the controls are so light and easy but when I ask for a little more go its like waiting for the next bus But on the other hand when you do need Dealer support the Honda guys have got the Nissan guys beaten hands down but that another story.....

Both my ZEDs exhibit the clutch bearing 'rumble' on tickover (not always) but I have been reassured by postings elsewhere that it is normal.

The scan should tell you the name of the trojan or spyware and will also tell you if it cant remove. List the names or file names it gives here. Might take a little while to get them all but shouldn't be a problem.

Which search are you talking about? The panda one identified some infected files but did not give any option to fix it..... The AVG and defender both said that there was no infected files

 

Time to throw it in the bin and upgrade your computer and virus protection

 

Its a new laptop

I could give you my IT man's details to come and fix it (but as he's south of London his charge might be high, but on the other hand as he is a petrolhead and you promised him an hours drive in your Lambor for fixing it I'm sure he would be up there like a shot

ps: I'd want commission for the introduction so that's another hour in your car for me

Might be worth getting an independent engineer to check? If have having something like the AA to give extra cred might help to convince Nissan about the problem?

Time to throw it in the bin and upgrade your computer and virus protection (or have all the spare readies gone on the car ) Me, I just call my friendly IT man in and pay him rather than tearing my hair out (opps, just remembered - I haven't got enough hair to do that )

Yep, the grille is the same as my 06.

The dip-stick looks in a whole lot more friendly position - easy to use?

Presume you also have the orange-glows for the bottle holders in each door (when the lights are on) eh? And the hazard warning switch in a senisble position and, and....

yeah how said is that - I cannot wait to have a garage so I can go out and play in it when it's raining. The only downside is that it's one of those ones with 2 small doors into one big garage which is a pain as I would have liked to put my car nicely in the middle when I'm tinkering with it. Wonder if it would be much of a job to change it?

ER, I would not take out the central pier without checking whats holding up the roof - get a surveyor to advise first.

Try EVO - not sure if you can access their figures on-line but the magazine does have what you are looking for in THE KNOWLEDGE section and is worth buying if you do not have a copy.

I was privileged to see the guy in the 80's on quite a few rally's and other top driver's of the time in their Group B rally cars. Nice video.

I agree - seeing Bjorn Waldegard flat out through a Welsh stage back in the seventies in a Stratos (minus the rear bodywork) was totaly mind-blowing in a bloody difficult car to drive fast at the best of times, but when he was visibly twice as fast as anyone else - it was just awe inspiring and something you never forget.

28th is an absolute yes from me as we just arrive back from our hols.

Would anybody like me to get some prices on accommodation around the Wrexham/Chester area if we decide on a date?

+1 (on both counts)
