I've reflected that the above does not move you forward any does it! You are going to find it difficult, even if they test drive it, to prove to a dealer's satisfaction that it is losing top end power - they probably drive Micras all day long after all. What I would do, is get some more evidence. Book a 1/2 hour dyno session (where are TDI North in relation to you?), that will cost about £50-£60 and get them to measure rear wheel HP (and also air-fuel ratio). You shouls be running about 230 rwhp peak and anything less than say 220 would indicate a problem (and a measurable problem). thanks for that but could you give me any more info on this tdi north , thanks kev [Add about 17% to rwhp to get flywheel hp to compare to the 276-280 figure]

sounds like yours is ok mate, doing what its supposed to wich is what we have all paid for .

the car goes up to 130 with no problem at all then it struggles on up to 150 and wont go any faster, yes i know that is still fast but it is limmited to 155 and nissan admit it should not be too sluggish and should do 155 great car thou.

weather or not i ever use the speed is not the point, they just shouldent be allowed to get away with this, the car is supposed to be limmited to 155 and nissan themselves said it should not be struggling after 130, well i got a bee in my bonnet now, so i will take it further- trading standards ect

well it seems to struggle from 130 onwards and wont go any faster than 150 not the limiter thou it just runs out of steam, its just annoying when nissan sell a £26,000 (for basic) car in britain but if any one has a top end power problem they havent even got facilities to check the car never mind fixing it, they just dont care once they have sold the car. dont know if it will put me off thou cos i do love the car, but am gonna look around now before i decide,

HI TO ALL, on my trip to europe 10 weeks ago i noticed a top end power loss in my z ie it struggled to do top speed, so i took it to my local nissan dealer who said they can not test the car for this and offered no solution from nissan uk, so since then i have had lots of calls to them all at my expence cos no one including the two managers there ring back when they say there going to, to cut a long story short my car is only 2 an half year old buy they are not able or willing to test or sort out my problem, and i now have this in writing in an email, any suggestions on what to do next ?? this has made me think twice about buying another one and i have booked test drives in other cars

ruff racing wheels from cruzin on chrome, from usa i believe ! Ahhh thought so similar to what I have you got a few pics on there mate. yes very simular mine cost £2300 in chrome how much were yours in black ?

156 kph they were hidden in trees but after 45 mins with language problems i was let off ish so i kept my licence and paid 90 euro fine still waiting for paperwork to come back to britain. i was very lucky cos a few mins earlier i was going flat out

better late than never , as promised go to link to view pics of 350z in europe, we did 3500 miles in 11 days france, belgium, holland, germany ( including 4 laps on nurburge ring awsome fun ), austria, italy, switzerland and back through france ( where i got done for speeding), and of coarse i did top speed in all the countries, naughty me http://picasaweb.google.com/kevgreen16/350zInEurope

3500 miles in 11 days

hi to all, well me and the wife set off on sunday morn in the 350z to france- belgium- germany -austria- italy- switzerland- and back through france we are hopefully going on the nurgurg ring when we go through germany , has anyone els been on there with a 350z i will try and post some pics when we get back, kev

thanks for that i will give it a try

hi to all, does anyone know the best way of removing the front and rear nissan badges so i can fit my new z ones, i have been told to pour hot water on them but am not sure bout that ????? thanks kev

you can also start it with the key like normal, just use button when it takes your fancy

all i know is it is a nissan bird view, i will try to find out more about it and maybe i will get lucky, cheers mate

Is your system DVD based? I have an MY06 with Birdsview and I am fairly certain that it came with a European DVD, not looking to sell but might be able to lend it to you if your disc works in mine so I can keep using it thanks , thats very nice of you, but i would like to buy one, thanks again kev

Hi Kev, who makes the Birds View System and can it take other software it is nissan bird view, dont know bout other softwear mate thou, but i will try to find out, i dont have the manual so i will ask the dealer bout it,

unfortunately yes clutch has to be down, it can be bypassed as can key but not too clever with warranty, so have to wait till warranty over then i will have clifford alarm with remote auto start,

hi, anyone selling a european disc for the birds viev sat nav ?????

hi to all am off to france, germany (race track), austria, italy, switzerland, in september in my z, i have birds view sat nav in it, brill system, does anyone know where i can get european disc for it without getting ripped off by main dealer, or does anyone have one to sell

But what's the point??? That was gonna be my next post It looks ok, but whats the point if you still need the key. I love my gadgets but it has to have some kind of benefit. Correct me if Im wrong but you stick the key in the ignition, you don't turn it, turn to your left and then press the said button to start it? well say you have stopped to talk or whatever, or your wife has nipped into shop, you turn off engine perhaps, well when you come to restart you just press the button,, maybe some people just carnt find the button, , but seriously each to there own, i like it anyway.

it took the auto lecky man i know in doncaster bout an hour

here is the pic

Oh really, so it is just a gimmick then yes it still needs key, and security still the same , fitted it just behind ash tray on centre console, i agree there is not much space anywhere else for it to go, it just a gadget thats all.
