  1. Yeah I saw those while looking around - not smoked - near black so how that going to reflect anything I don't know!
  2. I have a set of white/clear reflectors for sale which never made it onto my car http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-350Z-origi ... dZViewItem
  3. What price do you think the bonnet would be?? Was hoping to see the back missing as would like the front steering rack - ah well bring on the winter snow again!

    how fast?

    The 350 is a good performer but does lack the punch that the turbo gives. I used to drive a R34 and I really miss the pull of that even though I think the 350 is faster. Don't go for the older Supra or skyline, old cars now, the 350 drives much better which you'll find out ona test drive, but the 350 does not feel fast at all even though it is!
  5. I get 17-18 mpg, but I drive it like I hate it
  6. I'm seriously looking into one. A good site for you all to goto for full systems seems to be www.carcomputer.co.uk - couldn't find it for ages of looking but its the best out of all I have found. Will let you know when they send me more information
  7. What oil would you recommend to put in it, would like to change mine
  8. I ahve the same rattle, does it happen when you turn the ignition off also?? I took it into the garage and they said it was normal but I'm not happy with that and I drive the car like a tw4t sometimes from first-second and then other times its as smooth as a whistle
  9. I got the Nismo kit and it feels as solid as a rock and I'm desperate to get this UTEC now to get it removed, want to beat personal record of 159, 165+ I think should be doable with enough road Do you think that the kit would make much difference? I'm always sceptical about these things and really only considered them to be purely for aesthetics (sp?)
  10. There is one in my local garage. The interior is nicer with a slidy comparment instead of a flappy one. The area around the geear knob is shiny and the dials for AC are shiny, got some pics of the whole car somewhere on my phone
  11. For £47 don't bother - its the tackiest load of nonsesnse I've ever put on my car and will probably fall off soon
  12. Never hit 120!!! I must be such a **** when I drive then cause I always go way over that, its just a matter of time before I lose my licence I guess, ah well have fun doing it though. And I don't do it down teh high street, always going to kill myself and only myself
  13. Yeah I meant the top one, don't do it regularly, try to everytime I drive but not everytime. Feel like you should be happy when there but you just want more
  14. Managed to hit the limiter yesterday and was really disappointed that I wasn't able to go further because it felt really solid, very very impressed at this speed Has anyone else managed to hit it??? Its ok btw I have a test track near me called the M5
  15. With my limited knowledge the swirls are just a by product of the black and that its just the colour and polish and water marks are more obvious. The azure is a lovely lovely colour. If you polish the car really well and use a lint free cloth you should eba bel o get them off, black is a bit more difficult to sell IMHO and from what I ahve heard from others. Blue is the most desireable and therefore the easiest to sell on should you ever get fed up of the noise which is highly unlikely!
  16. Where did you buy these from and what size? I'm looking toward America to get them, seems loadsa wonga will be saved
  17. Yeah I atually like your wheels although I didn't think I would, there are many others that really don't suit, 20 spoke wheels and others just don't go IMHO. think I'm going to place an order for the above Funny though how a set of wheels can look good on one car and crap on another, doesn't really make sense
  18. You will not be disappointed if you do place an order With regard to the bodykit, you shouild not have any problems whatsoever and it is a good investment to do it at a later stage - almost certainly cheaper and also adds tot he desireability of the car once you come to sell it, but don't expect it to add value but you'll enjoy it being different What colour are you hoping for???
  19. Well if you want to be different then thats the way to do it!!!! But people would just laugh - that must be a home job, there can be no business that would go into that - sh sh sh sh sh shocking!
  20. Think it would be a bad thing if you closed access - I instantly don't like 'the other side' because you have to register. Within Skyline ownership there was exactly the same kind of hostility between two sides and the one where you don't have to register grew and grew with great benefit to all people concerned. For the life of me I can't find the other site on google or anything, the only thing that comes up is this site and that must be exploited surely. Those that want to contribute and join will do and they are more likely to do that here if theu are able to view beforehand - its a kind of TRY BEFORE YOU BUY - and thats a good thing
  21. Excuse the ignorance - revup engine???
  22. In general what sort of wheels do you think the Z suits. Its funny, I'm looking through pictures of different models of cars and see some that definitely look good, and others that defnitely don't. I'm on the look out for some wheels for my Z and I'm looking at eithr 5 or six spoke - namely some RacingHarts: My personal opinion is that multispoke don't suit the Z (plus they are a fag to keep clean) What do you think she suits?????

    Gearbox

    I'm with you on the 1st and second gearing problem. I'm coming from a tiptronic gearbox so I had the initial 'getting used to manual' problems but pottering around in first and second I still looka bit like a novice but it doesn't happen all the time I find when I'm driving its very difficult to find the biting point, I either over rev of fall short on revs, slowly getting used to it but I don't think its as good as it should be, 3rd upwards are fantastic, however, changing down is still a bit jerky
  24. Yuck And those "fender styling elements" - what is that about!!! Think I'm going to my bodyshop man to get it put right
