As I said on Facebook, without knocking Viezu, I'm not sure they will be able to map a Zed. We have seen others try and fail as its not an easy car to do. UpRev is a very reputable and safe option - although it will cost a bit. The main tuners we have on here that use it are Abbey, RS Tuning and Horsham Developments. Abbey are the closest to you so will probably be the best bet. If you do let Viezu have a go let us know how they get on

What sort of price were they Kev? Tempted to get some myself

They are a lovely car no doubt about it, but you pay a lot for the badge. If I had the money to buy one new then I would have but no way I'd have a second hand one over my new (at the time) 370z.

Just get it done man

Very good sir

Very nice Rob

This is why I wanted the traders view. If it was done on the cheap cash in hand then they may have an excuse. As it is it looks like a reasonable price was paid, so personally I'd expect it to be put right FOC. Discounts for 'cash in hand' doesn't mean 'rate for sub-standard job' it means that the trader doesn't pay tax and the customer enjoys a slice of that cake. Not strictly legal but we all know that's how it works. Anyway, cash in hand or not the paint-job looks pretty shoddy to me and I wouldn't be spending another penny to have it corrected. The correct course of action is to demand the work is put right FOC or threaten to expose the trader in order to prevent similar distress to other car owners Yes but if this was done for a pint or two by a mate of the trader instead of their proper paint shop then they would have an excuse. As it stands though, it looks like a fair price was charged so it would be reasonable to expect a decent finish which is not the case. Still waiting for the traders view either here or by PM. Are they aware of this thread or that the issue is being aired on the forum?

+1 my old 350z had to go on blocks to get it up onto TGM Sports 2 post lift. Could be done, just make sure you build up some concrete tracks around the base to effectively lower the lift

Looks like a great day out

Count yourself lucky it wasnt platinum Although the price of platinum isnt rising as quick as gold atm.

I find the best way to see what is coming is to browse the US forums for new features then ask contacts at NMGB when we are going to get them. Was like pulling teeth when finding out about the 40th version, I knew more than NMGB

Reversing camera is now included as part of Connect Premium as of MY11 cars

According to Toby (EH370z) who works for a Nissan Dealer, there isnt an update avialable yet

Both sound about right for TCS to be happy

Reversing camera FTW

Only so much you can do in a car I guess and they are running out of ideas? Time to break out the bond style corkscrew jumps and loop the loops I think

I'm talking about rolling radius, not width of tyres. For the car to understand if the rear wheels are spinning it monitors the speed of the front and rear wheels (rear wheels spin faster, then TCS will kick in). Now as standard, the rear wheels have a bigger rolling radius than the fronts (IIRC there is a 3% difference). For the TCS to keep working you need to factor in this difference and keep it the same. As soon as you change it (more than a percent or two) it will get confused. Now the absolute rolling radius doesnt matter, what you need to keep in mind is the percentage difference front to rear wheels. I've written a detailed comparison before so give it a search and you'll find the numbers. You can run non OEM rolling radius so long as you keep this relation of front to rear correct

but a goodie

Just keep the ratio of rolling radius front to back the same as OEM and the TCS (traction control) wont be a problem. Saying you will just turn it off all the time is asking for trouble. If you have a crash and the insurance find out you had TCS off then you may not be covered.

This should be done with caution. The stock TCS is very touchy about rolling radius of tyres, particularly in relation to the ration of front vs back rolling radius. If you want to run a lower profile tyre, typically you'd install wheels which are bigger. Ie move from 18" to 19" and run lower profile while keeping the same rolling radius. This way you wont effect the gap or TCS but have a nicer looking setup

Booo hiss

+1 - please feel free to contact the team if you feel this is a problem. FYI we can see which users post from which IP's and the software does report when multiple users post from the same internet address, so I can see the truth (not going to reveal it though as the OP doesnt want to) I would make the trader aware of this thread and give them right to reply. IMO I would want it fixed, thats not what I would expect. But also it depends on how much you paid and what you agreed to. Please lets not try and turn this into a witch hunt until we have both sides of the story.

Need pics really - can you get some and post them?

I didnt want to do mine off the SIM as my old SIM didnt have multiple numbers for people which the phone did. Windows contacts kept that
