Yup thats Rik. Theres a reason we removed his trading rights - I suggest you dont go there. Thats not what I would count as a good quality one I'm afraid

Is that the one underwritten by Aviva? They give you a yellow leaflet for it? If so, they told me and the dealership they wouldnt do it. Wasnt a problem for me, Admiral arranged the cover instantly and sent over the cover note. If anything, its either a different underwriter, or Aviva just arent consistent in what they insure

If you get a good quality version, I think it would look good

Or leave it til Modified Live so we can have a proper look?

Sux to be single He got the coolest set of wheels mate... replace any female really... Erm, dont think so

This could be an interesting read for anyone who looks for an alternate break in method to Nissan's nannying http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

Will PM you a good link about breaking in. Worked for my last car (before 350z as that was second hand) and my bike

Here here, well said Although this is OT so moved

For those that missed it (Thanks to Terry@NMGB for sending me the link ) http://fwd.five.tv/fifth-gear/videos/sh ... shootout-2

The bit I don't understand though is that if for example the front will not understeer in a wet corner till 50mph on RE040's all round, then if you uprate the rears only to RE050's are you saying that this causes the front to understeer at less than 50mph now even though it's still on the same tyres? Logically no, but if the limit if grip for a given corner in the wet for the 040's is say 50MPH and the 050's is 60MPH, whereas at 55MPH before, you would first get understeer, followed by a slide as all 4 tyres lost adhesion, with a combo of 040/050 F/R, the rears would still grip at 55MPH, so rather than inducing a slide of all 4 tyres, you would get pure understeer, which is different handling to what you would expect. That is what will catch you out, not that it will or wont understeer, but that it will do something different to before And yes Rob thats what I meant to say, thx for the correction

Strange, as Nisaan (or the provider) did 7 days free cover for my 350Z so it could be taxed by the dealer. Aviva who it is underwritten by, wont provide cover for the 370z or GTR, they will however provide it for pre-owned 350z's due to the lesser cost.

More Zed, less flames Its quite a skill to get a good landscape piccy of the Zed which can be easily made into a sig. I find if you get low and make the car low profile in the image (ie make it a lot wider than the car) you will have something good to crop out for a sig.

Have you told them you want to cancel your policy? As with more things like this, as soon as you want your money back, they start to listen. You will also have to be firm and tell them you want to speak to management.

I'm happy to see their is a good debate, but...I'd still like the fundamental flaw in the original post to be answered... "Does uprating the rear tyres from 040's to 050's whilst leaving your fronts at 040's mean you are suddenly more likely to crash or have an unstable car?" How...you have not affected the front, it still has the same lateral grip as before...still the same braking grip...in fact all you've done is make the car more stable in the wet as the rear is less likely to let go because it will clear standing water quicker and will have slightly better lateral grip as a result. Perhaps somebody could ask Bridgestone this question...I think I know what the answer would be. Before posting this free advice up I think it really had to stand up to some scrutiny. I'm open minded on car issues, and would love to be convinced I'm wrong here because then I'd have learned somethien that may help me :-) Uprating the rears to 050's from 040's, while leaving 040's on the front will make the car inherintly have more understeer. Car manufacturers believe this to be the better combo, as this is what they dial into cars as standard. In the dry you will likely not notice, in the wet however, the front end could wash out much more easily, which is dangerous, but not as bad as the opposite and having oversteer. Good work John, look forward to seeing what they say

Good idea

Feel for you bud, that is soooo annoying! Can they not email you the policy so you can print it off? Or download it as suggested. Tell them that you demand to speak to their manager. Countless other insurers can do this right, so I dont see why they cant. Threaten to terminate your policy that will get them listening. Annoyingly Nissan do provide drive away insurance, but their provider wont do 370z or GTR!

i hope so i just text the competition This is the last series

Looks great!

Go ZEDs

+1, even better on speakers

If it was they would have been going far quicker - she doesnt granny shift

Theres also DMS near by too - http://www.dmsracingltd.co.uk

or borrow a neighbours child to sit on the pedal wonder if the neighbours dog would do... Is it well trained?

Maybe we should get one for the club
