Thanks guys, I shall check all the possiblities out. Can anyone recommend a good do it yourself regassing system as my local garage in the Hebrides can't do it apparently? cheers

As ever Alex, It's nice to know you are there to dig me out of the poo again

Belt definitely there as far as I can see. It's the belt right under the air intake isn't it? Hard to see if there isn't a puddle under the car at this time of year in the Hebrides. Maybe I'll run it in the garage for a while (don't worry, with garage door open)

Quick question to all those in the know. Does it stand to reason that if your revs don't change with A/C on or off the compressor is shot or will the compressor not work if the system needs regassed? Really hoping I don't have to shell out for a compressor. Alex (Zmanalex) you might need to have one on standby. Cheers Guys

I have nearly had this happen to me although only when the door was being closed. My mate got into the passenger side and closed the door and there was an unholy bang. Thankfully window stayed intact but I found that it was because the window hadn't dropped. Turns out the rubber cover over the 'door closed' sensor stretches over the sensor making the car think the door is closed. It usually just needs the rubber cover to be put back in the correct position. Definitely something to keep an eye on.

Glad to see you made it back in one piece George. Some great pics there. Great to meet you guys, BTW Z all fixed thank to ZMANALEX as usual. Take it easy folks. David

I'd like to make clear that this is a review of the service I have received and lists both good and bad points. For all who think that it should be an easy fix, you are missing the point and that is why traders and garages get away with bad service. it should have been done properly in the first place. That's why we pay for the labour rather than just the parts. Envy have appologised for this. I have been in contact with Envy since posting this and they are currently working to resolve this.

Very sorry to hear about Gaz's Mum. Thanks for your reply. Regards David

I have thought long and hard about whether to post this review or not. In the end I hope that maybe it will provoke a change in attitude or at the very least prevent someone from making a similar mistake. After reading so many posts about Envy Performance on this forum, I thought I would spend some of my hard earned cash and give the Z a new look and sound. I wanted some nice new 19†wheels and a new exhaust to replace my aging rusting standard system. I called up Envy and after a little discussion decided on a Milltek exhaust and some nice new BERK High Flow Cats. Some new Anti Roll Bars, and a set of Finichi Firenze 19â€s. Along with a full service, some z badges and PIAA windscreen wipers. I also decided that since it was July I’d drive back with the new wheels and get the Rays refurbished (bubbling paintwork and some bad parking by a previous owner) and sent back for the winter season. All of this was discussed approx 2 weeks before I arrived and I even checked to see if they had the parts in stock which they didn’t for the Cats and so they would have to be ordered. Approx two weeks later I made the journey from the Highlands of Scotland all the way down to Newcastle and even arranged to leave the car with Envy for two weeks to give them plenty of time to work on the car. To their credit (and I am all for credit, where credit is due), they were very friendly and even offered to take me to the airport so I could catch a flight to NI for my summer break. Cool. Good Start. The first problem came when I found out that the CATS had not been ordered even though they knew I was coming. Then I found that the Miltek exhaust they had was not complete and therefore could not be fitted. This meant I had to opt for the slightly lesser (but quite good sounding) Japspec 2 exhaust. Leave over, and I return to Newcastle to pick up the car two weeks later. Here’s the credit where it is due: Envy picked me up from the airport. Service was complete. Windscreen wipers changed. Anti Roll Bars changed. (didn’t fix the clunk but that’s a different story and has now been solved – thanks Zmanalex) Wheels fitted and looking sweet. However, The Exhaust Cats arrived approx 2 hours before me. When I arrived the car had just been completed (rushed job?). The Japspec was sitting lopsided. No Badges fitted. The exhaust was blowing because the correct gaskets had not been ordered. I was told that this wasn’t a problem as they would forward the gaskets on to me for me to fit at my expense. Half an hour up the road and the ECU light came on. Not Happy. I assume that it is because the Exhaust is not sealed properly and the O2 sensor is kicking off. Popped it into Nissan in Edinburgh and they confirmed that the O2 sensor is showing a fault. They clear the fault but it promptly comes back again later on that day. Passed all this onto Envy and they assure me that it is not their fault as it was fine when they changed it. I’m not happy, as the sensor was not faulting before the Cat change and it takes t least two runs before the ECU throws a fault and when did Envy have the time to check? After I got home the real trouble started. Envy had told me the Gaskets were on the way. But suffice to say no gaskets ever arrived. By October the gaskets still had not arrived and neither had my refurbished wheels. I booked the car into Nissan Aberdeen (Evans Halshaw – great service, pulled out all the stops) They fixed the clunk in the front suspension which turned out to be the compression rods and then they fitted the exhaust gaskets. They also tried to fix the lopsided exhaust but it turned out all my exhaust mounts had been snapped and put back together with cable ties (not happy again) Even the addition of new exhaust mounts (at my expense again) did not fix the lopsided exhaust. The Gaskets fitted and no change to the ECU fault and Nissan inform me that the O2 sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced. I inform Envy and they assure me they’ll send one out. No O2 sensor appears. No Refurbished wheels appear. It is now December 2009 and after many many phone calls my wheels turned up one week before Christmas. Unfortunately this is way too late to get them fitted before I have to drive to NI for the holidays. (two new tyres required on the front) I had to do the drive through the snow, Ice and salt with my nice new 19â€s. Not Happy January 2010 Still no O2 sensor, Alloys are now corroded quite badly in the centres which will have to be replaced as the paint has flaked off and the edge detail is rusting. Wheels are being maintained as best as possible through the winter but as there is no vacancies in the local garages I can’t get the tyres replaced yet on the 18â€s. I have sent Envy an email explaining how disappointed I am with their aftersales service and that they will not be paid the outstanding balance on the wheels due to the fact that the O2 sensor has not been sent. No Reply I hate that I have to write this review on a company that is so prolifically posting on this forum and who genuinely seem to be nice blokes but I don’t want any of you guys to fall into the same holes. Once you take that car away they lose interest very fast! Be Warned ZedHead P.S. On the plus side PIAA windscreen wipers are amazing!!! Expensive but so worth it.

Is the Hoon including the islands this year? or are you all scared? ha ha ha too many passing places.

Never a truer word spoken! That is exactly how Nissan dealers are. Always have a 2nd quote at the ready.

ARSE!!!!

AWWWWWW! 1st time there has been a meet out my way and I'm not bloomin here!!! Is this definitely confirmed for the 6th and 7th?
