Chris`I

Great car, but looking at the Alfa OC, MPG isnt as good as published. We've just put in an order for the 2.0 JTDM2 140HP. We had one for test overnight and it was great. With Amanda booting it in the Zed, the Giulietta wasnt miles behind, its a great engine I found. We also got very good fuel consumption from it.

Awesome

Another great weekend as always. Weather was ok mostly at the right times. Good to see all the same faces again and some new. Second Wills evaluation of the run back to Moreton, twas a cracker. Great work done by those who formulate the routes Shire - well where do we start. On Sunday evening he was wearing a girls t-shirt! I'll let Mr Chesterfield post the evidence

+1 although I'm bais being in a few of Andy's pics Was another great weekend. My cheif snapper was having a break this time around, so no shots from me, everyone else has it covered though

Very jammy

Not sure there is, certainly not like you get with other aftermarket systems where you can add you own POIs and speed cameras. IIRC the only way to get updates is a map update, which you'll have to pay for, just like any other OEM car manufacturers system (which does suck!) As for Connect Premium, Nissan Customer Care dont know a lot. If you get the right people they do, but effectively you're better off asking questions in here or the US forums I have good contacts in NMGB to get most questions answered though

Touchscreen = undoubtedly Connect Premium. Also if the SatNav takes postcodes, equally its Connect Premium. HDD isnt missing, its only activated when you insert a CD. It allows said CD to be ripped to the HDD as an MP3 and played back via the media system without the disc in future. Most find this is a pain and just get a USB stick and put MP3s on that, or connect an iPod. Oh also note, CD has to be a "proper" CD, not a CD of MP3s. It will play MP3 CDs I think but because they are not original songs, it wont copy them. It will only copy CDA or whatever the format is on production CDs. You definately have Connect Premium though

Too light to be metal if you've picked one up. Also says in the service manual to replace it if dropped, and that wouldnt be an issue with metal, more composite materials that fracture/splinter when dropped.

Its carbon reinforced plastic or cabon composite material of some kind.

Its about 70 quid IIRC - at least if you get it over from the States like my mate did. Great vid there Tim, bet the only problem now is that you want more cameras and mounts Apparently you can daisy chain 2 of them in a special housing to get 3D now too! I like the pull away shot, shows how little contact patch the tyres have or at least it looks that way

Looking good there Think theres more track Zeds about than people realised, but most of them are out on track rather than polishing and posting

Hey Mike, good to hear you still have the Zed

There are quite a few oddities, so it is possible. We seem to have just about every rare incarnation over here. 280 as far as I'm aware wasn't 3 litres though. Some of the Z31 300zx, were 2 litres. Quite rare. Wikipedia (as well as Immy of course) is our friend:

Good to see you today Will, car is looking tip top for the weekend

Facelight lights? Where do I get some of them babies?

You didnt get a magic +10HP sticker then?

Dangerous things those kerbs

And why arent you out driving?!

Good work - especially getting white to reflect

Put a thread up, someone must have a spare seat

somehow think that wont be making it Even if plenty of it seemingly goes on around here

don't worry chris i know i'm always welcome, sadly the wales run times in with my wifes birthday, so i won't be available. she loves cars, but the wales run is not her idea of a birthday treat. if the S2k sells before the lakez meet i may well be coming to that though Well once the S2K is gone you can always get a 370z to satisfy that itch and back you come

He needs FI to be in with contention! Then he'd have had it. TBH I think it was lamb to the slaugher, my350z.com has plenty of cars to go destroy a Stang, they just wanted to laugh at this guy

Rich: You're more than welcome to come to Wales - just not do the drive - thats the only bit(s) that are Zed only. We have in the past had quite a few members come to Morton/lunch stop etc. True - its a long way to come to sell some stickers, but if you want you are welcome along to the non driving bits.

Ricey, not sure the missus will approve you putting images of the 2 of you online
