If not much tread left at the front certainly change those to match the new rears

Life Lesson #127 - Don't Get Distracted At The Wheel
Ebized replied to Stutopia's topic in Off Topic Discussion
of the attractive young lady to make an informed judgement as to whether to offer sympathy or you were plain careless -
Guy with the hat looks like Kimi Raikkonen , but ain't sure if he lost/crashed out again in that vid which was a good watch

If it is the slave cylinder ona HR it is a box out job as ZMANALEX says here http://www.350z-uk.c...slave +cylinder where the member had similar issues, albeit his was a DE engined ZED: -
Wrapping on my 370 was virtually the same condition as when I sold the car nearly 5 years on: http://www.350z-uk.c.../page__hl__wrap Think I was the first in the UK to do this on a 370. Anything at the front is going to suffer stone damage but it was easy fixed using a fine brush with matt black Humbrol paint. A regular dose of pure beeswax kept a satin-look shine

Like this one here: http://www.350z-uk.c...re-road-racers/ Now if you did that in a car - driving without due care and attention....at the very least. How long before one of them, not looking where they are going kills an innocent pedestrian. Honestly, some of these cyclists, often riding flat out and no chance of stopping before a collision, are an utter menace on the roads.

Get the 'gate' checked first as if not correctly placed that can cause issues. But 6th gear synchro failure has been reported by several members in the past. Edit ^^^ like minds

Thanks for sharing and some quality pics there. Useful info on the tunnel train carriages too to help save the wheels

Law on mobile phones: Driving a car Even if your car is off the road and is not moving, you may be considered to be driving if your engine is on. Therefore, if you stop your car to use your phone, it would be wise to turn your engine off first. Likewise, the police will still consider you to be driving if you are stuck in a traffic jam, so in this situation you should not alleviate your boredom by using your phone, unless you are using a hands-free set. Bear in mind that each case is judged on its own merits, so there is no fixed definition. The best thing you can do is be aware of these guidelines before picking up your phone. ( https://www.lawonthe...l/mobile-phones ) But its OK to have a bowl of cereal in your hands but not a mobile phone? Come on - get real you guys, you are getting fixated with the cyclist actions that, agreed was uncalled for and he was unlikely to do that if a burly guy was in the car, but the woman clearly had no regard for other road users. .

About to buy a 350z, its silver but is listed as grey. Normal?
Ebized replied to 350zTJS's topic in 350Z General
Could be universal silver or twilight grey: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/71866-350z-paint-colour-code-guide/ -
Welcome to the forum Couple of observations - good news your local BMW dealer has looked after you well, but let's face it a 318 (and other models in the range) are bread & butter stuff for the dealers. 350 ZEDs are at best 6 years old now and for most dealers have always been a pretty rare sight in Nissan garages and most of the workshop staff will be unfamiliar with them and the 370 falls in the same bracket with most being sold through the few High Performance Centres in the UK and not in nearly the same numbers as the 350s. Hence why you find most members on here will direct you to speacialists - not all may be top notch but in comparison to main dealers knowledge they are in a different league. Doesn't matter what car it is - one that has only been driven for short distances is more likely to have longevity issues than those pounding up and down motorways. As others have said, good service history is a must and if it comes with petrol receipts to show 98+ octane has been used - all the better. Everyone has their own idea what "ragging" is, but even if it has been used on track providing due respect is shown to the mechanicals and notwithstanding the speeds reached, that is likely to be a whole lot better for the car than an owner who frequently indulges in traffic light grand prix and is an animal with their gear changes. Quite often we see local members offering to inspect potential purchases for 'newbies' (I have done that myself several times) which can help to reassure, particularly if you do not know someone who knows about ZEDs. You can always put up an ask on here if one is tempting you

The Police can't be everywhere though so some times it is down to us, the public to spot & report things. I get what you're saying and really he could have filmed her/reported her without confronting her but obviously that's his prerogative. Agreed, and Rob - how would you feel if she was doing that while following you? I really hope she gets done for dangerous driving.

Only fair you spend on detailing your car what your misses spends on glamming herself, and I find the occasional new handbag to my misses for the odd little overspend on the car always has the desired effect Oh, and if you post up your location I'm sure someone on here will be able to recommend a detailer not far from you

When you want the job.....at your price....you don't jump and down with glee at the prospect so that you don't get offered the millions you want. But jury is out in my book as to whether he makes or breaks the show.
