  1. I found that flattening a 2" long by 3/4" diameter piece of soft rubber tube and sticking it between the centre of the dash and the windscreen has worked wonders.

     

    Only problem now is that it makes the rattle from the circular door vents more noticeable :wacko:

  2. No problems with oil consumption here on MY07 after 5000 miles. A couple of 1/2 litre top-ups in the first couple of thousand miles and then nothing. I wouldn't worry about the red line (7500 on the MY07 btw) as you are past max power and torque well before then anyway. Don't forget this isn't a low torque S2000 or other 2 litre fizz bomb but a real V6 :):):)

  3. I reckon Bracknell is similar... like most English towns... - what's so bad about Bracknell and the "estates"... any stories?

     

    Bracknell is lovely :lol:

    Suggest you wander around the High St or Princes Square after dark and see what you think. Why do you imagine that Oracle, SeeBeyond, Met Office, etc, etc choose to move out??? Come back in 10 years if the refurb gets off the ground. Now you could look at Ascot, Sunninghill, Virginia Water, but then your 350k won't go far :)

     

    There is a never fail check for the quality of medium size English towns and it goes like this - check out the restaurants in the middle of town...

    * Premier League - several high quality chains like Est Est Est or maybe even a Conran-a-like gastro pub

    * 1st Division - Ask, Cafe Rouge, etc

    * 2nd Division - Pizza Express, Cafe Nero, etc

    * Ryman's Premier - Pizza Hut

    * Sunday Pub League - McDonalds

     

    ...guess what you'll find in Bracknell :lol:

  4. Used one of these for the first time this morning on the Z and the wife's Focus. Pretty good results considering the v.hard water around here. Need to wait for the weather to be less :cold: for a better test.

     

    Does anybody know if the Flash instructions are b***s*** about having to use their shampoo? I used 200ml on two cars :scare: and even then I used 2 buckets and NXT in the middle of the wash. Cars were minging though :)

     

    BTW a seller on eBay now has 4 x 10 wash filters for £10 delivered ;)

  5. And the new GT-R is 5 seconds faster lapping the Ring. Hehehehe... $70,000 for a GT-R is a real steal deal in bang for the buck when you compare it to the class of cars it runs with. I think I'm in love with the poor person's supercar even more after seeing that Veyron video! :D

     

    True, but the rattling from the poor fit and finish will drive you mad in the end! It's been said many times before and I know we don't want to pay Audi R8 prices, but the Nissan must the worst built car on the road. I've resorted to sticking bits of rubber between the windscreen and dash on my 2-1/2 month old Z33 in an attempt to cure it :rant:

  6. Yeah, bet it would still be 10 microns thick though ;)

     

    Not quite colour changing, but the hotel I stayed in recently in Singapore had electro-chromatic (?) coated glass that goes from clear to tinted to frosted at the touch of a switch. Now how about that on a car? Limo tint to clear at the touch of a switch. Just don't hit the frosted button on the windscreen :blush:
