Ebized

Been out to OZ many times and always done a stopover there and back (previous visit included the Singapore GP ), as a through trip with just a fuel stop with me at 6'2" is no fun in Economy Class. Just wondering if the owners of the 2 ZEDs ^^^^ are members on here or our Oz members might know them. Far more common sight in Canberra and Brisbane that I ever see on the roads here

Possibly the hanbrake? (separate shoes) - see this thread for more info: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/88876-weak-handbrake-and-slight-roll-after-application/

Family visit rather than a hoilday, but some phone pics that might interest - nearly put in the spotted section First Zed I spotted - Will, it's Rosie cousin! Brisbane market on 13 March. and then a nice 350 at a Winery north of Brisbane on 15 March and the winery - after much tasting I didn't clock its name And kinda liked this shot of Brisbane's big wheel Thought Oz just had to wary of the 'roo's but seems they have elephants too Canberra (Manuka) 20 March And then back to Brisbane for a little relaxation over on Moreton Island before the flight home - courtesy of sis & partner and their boat on the right

Sod you then................. :p So when you getting that little red devil of yours on track then - great opportunity for you to nip over to Bedford Yeah I know, the waves of Colwyn Bay would miss you Well hopefully the Germans will invade the Welsh countryside soon Now there's a plan

Certainly one of the nicest specced 370s Nissan have produced

They are likely to an accident waiting to happen, so I will pull over to let them pass at the first opportunity if I get that imtimidation. Responding to their 'challenge' is only likely to end in tears at some point.

Sad to say but I booked with Air France to Brazil a few days after the 777 went down, the prices were ridiculous cheap - any of these things is just bad luck, the aircraft are massively overengineered and overmaintained, the staff are second to none and flying is statistically safer than putting on your trousers. Maybe, but not when determined killers get round security, as 9/11 (for example) demonstrated.

er, am I the only one who finds TV so entertaining it makes me fall asleep better than anything else But in your case Adrian I would have thought it would be very positive for you watching all those £££££££££'s dropping in. Or is it the thought of the increasing number of options you can add to the GTR order that is keeping you awake?

Given we know organs/brain being violently compressed in car crashes at relatively low impact speeds will kill, think we know that a 400mph+ impact will mean it will be over for all "very, very, quickly" if, as others say, they haven't already passed out beforehand

Some real quality mods you have done with your 370 - credit to you

A bit worrying to hear this when I was flying back from Singapore on Tuesday, and passing not so far from the crash location and remember seeing our pilot (or his mate) passing through the cabin If it turns out there was a rogue individual in the cockpit then than that will not bode well for air travel, particularly when you wonder if a similar situation occured with the disappearnce of Malaysian flight MH370.......

Question is - with who

The leather seats and gear knob look retro-fitted to me - the steering wheel doesn't have the matching orange bit (hand brake should be orange too if it's standard, no?) - and no Bose either; ergo it's not a GT. 5 points minus 1 for the steering wheel because I'm not sure I've seen a facelift with the matching alezan on it. Alezen was standard on non-GT pack facelifts and I had to pay extra for it on the GT model I bought in December 2006 ! And my steering wheel did not have the Alezan on it but never quite sure whether that feature was dropped with the facelift upgrade or they simply ran out of s/wheels with that feature 2006 Facelift brochure attached to help the understanding.

I was very happy to do a 160mile round trip to know my 370 would be looked after by a an award winning Nissan HPC technician who is so competent and very reasonable with his prices. In fact I have that much respect for his work that I feel there will come a point when I will probably entrust him with anything that needs doing the AMG. Yes, given what I see in those advisories I am sure Sly (Kaizer) would not only resolve the issues but I wouldn't mind betting his prices would more than compensate for having to travel the extra miles. Yes there are others out that would no doubt also do a very sound job, but that ^^^^^ is the benefit of my experience after 9 years of ZED ownership.

No, in reality. But what it does do is tell you where there are " High Risk Zones" - i.e where the mobiles tend to operate and it is that info I have found very useful. The downside is that updates about changes to speed zones are slow in coming forward nowadays so always best to keep your eyes open for the roundels! The A45 helps with that as it 'spots' every one along the road - clever stuff!

On current showing they could outpace Mclaren

Still not used to seeing your road car in blue, but at least you have not lost the green altogether in your sig But those wheels and stance look very nice

Oh and this racing is awesome - Godzilla winning the 2015 Bathurst 12 hour race - another Nissan Academy success story

and I can then give you a wave as another local. (Oh, and the wave would not be from a Zed, but from a little white Merc A Class pottering along )

Enjoy - hope the hangover ain't too bad

What Alex says above - quite a few members in the past have had issues with the splash shields hitting the discs or something caught between the two, and given the work on your car that may be more than a co-incidence.

Rosie red suits you better than green And good to see you have risen to such heady heights
