  1. Whats actually annoying is seeing a load of people who arent really quite sure what they are on about giving advice on an issue that they arent sure about either. Having lost engines to detonation myself, and knowing theres no way of telling what damage has already been caused I definitely wouldnt be risking the £3K+ repair bill if something is going to drop. People still bang on about clicking axles like they are the antichrist, but what actually happens with them? Your axles click, big deal. Ive just lost an SR20 bottom end because a ring broke up, probably from damage caused before I put the engine in my car, certainly not from me running it, but hey, its not as bad a as few clicks at low speed is it? Guess what as well - SR20's also have knock detection but for some reason it didnt seem to work in this case, like it didnt on the EJ20 and CA18 Ive also lost through detonation. All Im saying is go in with your eyes open, manufacturers dont tend to reccommend a higher octane fuel just for a chuckle. Chances are the engine would be fine, hell, Id probably even bet on the fact you wont see problems but if someone openly admitted using the wrong grade of oil youd walk away, wouldnt you? How relevant is you losing three engines that are not 350z engines? None. Until there are hundreds of 350z engines going pop through detonation, as opposed to one that we actually know of, then it's scare mongering.
  2. It's me AsianUk. Changed name as this is more appropriate to describe me How many name changes!?!?!? Why is this more appropriate??
  3. Send an email to that email address and I guarantee you will recieve emails from Nigerian Prince's promising you many Nigerian camels in exchange for your Paypal log in details
  4. ^This. Why would you embed a dodgy msn email address into your photo? And why would a private seller have a 0843 number??
  5. I can't believe people are saying walk away from a car that the owner has said that he has used SOME 95ron fuel, especially at such low mileage. Unless you've owned your car from new, you have no idea what it has been ran on, full stop. Never mind how it's been driven. I'd be MUCH more concerned about Price, Condition, Mileage, Service History, Clutch, Tyres and brakes. In that order. I wouldn't even bother asking what fuel the owner has run it on, as the answer is largely irrelevant unless you can be provided with some sort of a graph to show how it's been driven whilst on 95ron. All this scaremongering is bloody annoying. There has been one reported issue of piston failure on a high mileage 04 car, this does NOT mean all 350z's are going to blow up. High Octane fuel is recommended, not mandatory.The oil consumption on the rev up engine was a MUCH bigger problem that affected a HUGE number of cars, but people don't seem care about that.
  6. I'd hoped the holes were missile launchers
  7. Who is this Husky person???
  8. You could, but many don't, and even then thats yet more yellow.
  9. It was the car that came with the 296bhp rev-up engine a full year before it was seen in the MY06 car! GT4's were launched in Feb 05, the MY06 cars came out approx May 06. So not really sure what bits Nissan were getting rid of? ok so i might not have shifted old stock but they sold them as the GT4 it got the new engine a year early and some new wheels and they only sold it in black or yellow. and they stuck a badge on it. and sold it with a playstation as special editions go, i never thought it was that special; they could have done so much more with it. and they didn't even keep the wheels exclusive as they bunged them on a load of end of line stock to sell them off as the zed was going out of production. In my opinion, the only genuine limited edition GT4's are the Ultra Yellow's, as at least the colour was limited. I never undertood why anyone would buy a Kuro GT4?????
  10. Add a female driver? How much is his car worth? If its not worth a lot, perhaps consider TPFT as a last resort? The drop in premium might be more than his car is worth therefore if he writes it off he could theoretically replace it with the premium he saved?
  11. Another thing that really puts me off is that the UK square plate does not seem to fully cover the holes left by the original plate and you end up with something like looks pretty awful ,imo, like this:
  12. Uk shaped for me. The main reason is that the zed rear recess shape is not actually a rectangle or a square, it's wider at the top. So when you put a square plate in that shape it looks odd imo.
  13. I'd love one for the Mrs if anyone wants to sell one for a 'small' premium
  14. Yep, considering I would have sold it to someone if they had offered me about £40 for it Where is the buy it now for £40 button Removed
  15. Yep, considering I would have sold it to someone if they had offered me about £40 for it
  16. Sell them on ebay.... Your probably not wrong!!! I might set up http://www.webuyanyphone.co.uk with an equally annoying theme tune! Edit: someone has beat me to it
  17. One question though; what the hell do Envirophone and the like, do with their phones??
  18. haha yeah I'm glad I didn't manage to totally shoot myself in the foot!!
