Help needed: key pairing/car battery/starting issue :(
Ebized replied to MDMetal's topic in 350Z Technical
Have you seen if anything here is of help? http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/15186-how-do-you-program-the-key-fob-to-the-car/ AS you can see you are by no means the first who has problems and not always an easy one to resolve. -
I take on board what you say, but then when there is so much at stake it is not surprising that to win the championship many will play the long game to get the necessary bag of points, even if that means going for the win is secondary. And lets face it, it is only because Mercedes have the best package that Hamilton/Rosberg are where they are - look at Red Bull; Brawn; Ferrari, MaClaren before them - it is so much about the cars making the drivers look good rather than the drivers themselves, with Vettel being the latest casualty of not having the right technology under him. For me the 'star' this year has been Alonso, who has got results for Ferrari that many had not predicted and in the process has made Raikkonen look 'ordinary'.

This is what inspired me to buy the 370 - Silverstone, September 2009: This was always my dream but that's how it remained: But looking at others' posted pics the vast majority are sadly not not practical on our roads, as much as many of them look so damn good.

I did buy this one: Came from the US - was OK for temporary touch-up (carried it in the car) but the ballpoint quickly seized up and the in-built brush was obviously as large as they could get in

Oil Light flashed on - bought car yesterday from dealer!
Ebized replied to MikeM1986a's topic in 350Z Technical
I have little doubt so many of the oil problems on the DE engines are down to the stupid dipstick design that even the most conscientious of owners can find it hard to read the true oil level. Thank god the HR engine was not designed by the same 'dipstick'.... And whilst many DE engines use no oil between services we are seeing an increasing number of failures, no doubt due to ever rising mileage, but probably originally brought about by a combination of owners not using Super petrol and then frequently exceeding 5k rpm - something we all find so addictive to do to maximise the pleasure and no doubt why Nissan say to use Super for engine longevity -

Originally registered on here as BLAZED as I had a Blade 350. So when I got the Ebisu 350, had a name change to EBIZED. When I got the 370 I just couldn't come to terms with STORMWHITEZED, especially when a certain female member was using the Storm name and shall we say had a bit of a reputation So I saved Admin the task of another namechange, as I give the team enough grief as it is.
-
All I can say is oh dear, a very expensive lesson.... And been around long enough to check all the fluids after a service, to make sure they are at the correct levels and have actually been changed and no matter where it was done as human error (or worse) in garages is all too frequent sadly.

I still feel the £/$900M pot or whatever it is that gets dished out each year to teams, should be equally spread amongst all the teams so they at least start from a level playing field, and then its down to the business credentials of those running the teams to top up the rest - maybe with an overall cap. Let's face it, those teams that do well in the championship, and aside from the factory teams that have bottomless pits, will be more likely to attract good sponsorship anyway. Also, that potential driver newbies get decent practice time before taking part in the races. Maybe with a dedicated session in a spare car on the Friday and/or Saturday of races that has to be used, to help the teams/governing bodies/sponsors to see their worth or not. Well, just thoughts to hopefully keep F1 where it should be

Always good to see a much loved ZED moving onto another enthusiast when an oldie can no longer justify it

Nearly as good as the 350z.uk version

Hmmmmm........looks as though he floored it, but after he had lined up straight so does look as though he had useless tyres but did not learn his lesson in the way he then chose to floor it again away from the traffic so certainly an accident waiting to happen with him

Add "doughnuts" and Buster appears too

Looks like you only made two boobs along the way, otherwise an excellent read and quality pics

+1 and I would have to say, and having had the pleasure of passenger laps with Alex, that others would be hard pushed to get the mileage out of their tyres that Alex does as his lines meant the rubber being put down was being used 100% effectively and not wasted on sliding, wheel spinning excessive braking etc.

I tend to agree - and sadly Lewis seems more pre-occupied with his hair these days than enjoying the driving opportunity he has been given.

Your insurance company is going to think they have hit the jackpot, if they have the round objects to keep you on -
Opinions needed on gearbox drain plug coming loose
Ebized replied to leet8845's topic in 350Z Technical
OK that is good to hear. But I would also be asking for the GB oil to be drained and and refilled, with the correct amount of Molyslip, given some will have been lost with the leak and that is what you paid for. Oh, and make absolutely sure the GB oil is the correct type - Zmanalex can advise (sorry I forgot what type this is now without looking it up} as that is quite critical from what I have seen posted on here over the years. Edit: did a search for the correct GB oil - see this link: http://cougarstore.c...018b3692ded1225 -
from one long termer on here to another, but I'm now Zedless after 3 of them - the best car ownership experience that I've ever enjoyed in ** years of driving So credit to you you still have Zemo after 8 years and some difficult times

The loose filler plug as undobtedly after this: Putting the molyslip in. and then you told us early October about a burning smell - presuming it was the new clutch, which I suspect was the beginning of the oil leak. Fortunately it was the filler leaking rather than than the drain plug as chances are you wouldn't have had any oil left in the gearbox by now and that could have been curtains for the box. -

Surely that is the fill plug and the drain plug is by the "L" in your "Oil Everywhere" note - see pic lifted off Google?
