you seriously trust your 370Z to a car wash - brave man. I'm quite keen on those guys in supermarket car parks with a trolley and a bucket of 50% water / 50% grit - not!

How come?? As from April 2010 there is a new first year tax dependant on emissions, vehicles emitting over 255gms of CO2 per kilometre will pay £950 £950 is only for new vehicles. £435 if already registered. Better get that order in quickly http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/HowToTaxYourVehicle/DG_172916

Do you have any neighbours left who are still talking to you

Real Marmite thing the graphics - I'd leave them off. I had a TO 350 for two years and spent half the time loving (when it was clean) and half the time hating (when I had to leave it in a car park) the colour. Hang on, isn't the lid of Marmite yel....

...I guess that is why the 350s oil pressure gauge has morphed in to an oil temp gauge on the 370. At the NRA day I didn't see much above 105-110 after 5 laps flat out though.

275/35 19s on mine, but I think the non GT/Ultimate cars are different.

Yep, I think you are right. Doesn't even look like it has 19s sometimes. Oh, well - something else for the shopping list along with a Nismo exhaust. For some reason the spacer/no spacer issue seems to me to depend on colour with white exacerbating the problem the most.

Will this buy me some time to get the real pics done???

+1. too right Sally think I will get in my ye olde worlde 350 with my camera and take some for Polarbear Yeah, yeah - guilty as charged. Been in St Petersburg all week (now I know where BMW sell all their X6s) and now it is raining. Tomorrow maybe???

Take a look at this post to see what the day is like... viewtopic.php?f=70&t=26666&start=15

...better than having a Micra key, though

Crappy pic, but you get the idea. Emergency key lives inside the fob.

No idea what stanski's key is from, but my 370's is totally different (and way slicker with fake aluminium bits

Sorry, no pic but the intelligent key (!) has a normal key hidden away inside it. If the ik battery is totally flat than apparently putting it in to the slot in the dash will still activate the ignition. I don't want to try this late at night in the middle of nowhere.

Have you tried the reset fix in the manual? Close door, put window fully down, put fully up and continue to hold button for +3 seconds. Worked perfectly for me

Decals (like the owners manual, etc) are a port of entry fitment and having seen two at Westway Nissan without them I would personally leave them off. Looks like a better colour than the Temper Orange I had. Deeper and more consistent somehow with good metal to plastic matching. Time will tell if this self-healing paint is anything more than marketing hype.

Still (ahem) running in, but I think the pickup is quicker and it is more eager to rev (VVEL perhaps?) It definitely feels more planted and less skittish than the 313 350, but then it has got loads more rubber and a wider track. ESP light is noticeable by its absence most of the time.

Titanium Grey according to what it says below - and yes, I know TTIWWP. Hopefully the sun will shine this weekend and I can start snapping.

So, after almost 3 months of waiting I finally got to pick my new 370 up on Saturday Westway Nissan in Oxford were very helpful and chucked in mats, a full tank of fuel and the cost of putting my plate on retention. Overall, I'm impressed so far and it's massive step-up from the 350. Pros - 59 plate - faster - lots of new toys to distract me - 7-speed paddle-shift auto is good without being overly sharp or slack (ever driven a Alfa with selespeed ) - sharper and generally more responsive - major interior improvement over the 350 Cons - pax window isn't properly resetting after closing the door so back to the dealer, ho hum. - not sure about the multi-function readout to the left of the speedo. Looks bit tacky?? - more of a GT than an out-and-out sports? - having to eventually replace those 275/35 19s on the back - not enough time in the country to drive it! - still haven't gotten around to changing my signature

...and finally the 370Z session http://s206.photobucket.com/albums/bb114/Polarbear_065/?action=view&current=370Z.flv

...and here's the GT-R session (just try to ignore the mad giggling and the missed braking points ) http://s206.photobucket.com/albums/bb114/Polarbear_065/?action=view&current=GT-RRun2.flv

A short piece of the auto test... http://s206.photobucket.com/albums/bb114/Polarbear_065/?action=view&current=GT-RAutoTest.flv
