i had an xbox 360 running on a normal 4:3 28inch 5 year old crt tv for a few months then decided to upgrade to a better tv
i got the samsung 32inch lcd for £450 in a electroninc store -brand new full warranty its only capable of 1080p through the serial pc input - ive connected the xbox through the component input with 1080i and it is unbelievable -gears cod3 look spectacular some other games like test drive or project gotham don' t seem to look much better , sky digital hd isnt brilliant either - ithink its only in 720 - fact of the matter is any appreciable quality difference in 1080i and 1080p is not noticable to to 95% of the public ,
Really interesting mate, thanks for that. Your last bit about it being not noticeable is very good - think thats just made the decision for me, I'm going for the i. Where did you source the TV from?
Cheers all for all you help & advice its been really useful
i found the deal in an independant store- but i got a local currys to price match it in birmingham, had to wait about 3 weeks for it though
you notice sky hd doesnt look as imperssive as 1080 on the xbox - even when you set the digibox to its highest settings as mike said all the programs are "upscaled" in quality

....................... dunno, i might be , ive had itnow for 6months and im starting to look at other cars on the market , ive already been in bmw to look at nearly used m5's or the new 3 series coupe , ive been to audi to try and get a test drive on a new rs4 - impossible by the way , theyll only give me a go in a bog standard a4
i think im starting to lose interest in the car i was drooling over only alf a year ago , ive stopped cleaning it by hand and just drive in to the local valet place, i dont really care where i park it nowadays , the shite interior which i was happy to live with only a short while ago -is now starting to make the zed not a very good place to sit in.
then the final straw came , i booked the car in to fix/tighten the handbrake cable-and i was excited about what car they would lend me, i knew it was going to be slower than the z , but i was still exited about driving a new car
the zed was my first car ever , and i dont know if this hapens with all owners of their cars or am i just the odd one out ?!?!?
Wait, what, you had a brand new 350z as your first car?
How old are you? Were you just slow getting into this driving lark or did your father buy your car for you or soemthing?
No disrespect but I do wonder, anyone who works hard and pays that kind of money for a car really wouldn't be bored after just 6 months.
yes was my first car , im 25 now though and have spent the last 7 years busting my ass at uni- and my job now pays alooooooooooooooot

This is a fascinating thread. Great to see what people are paying for insurance.
If we’re having a competition for worst insurance of all time that will make all of yours look like peanuts I’d win.
Last year, 30yrs old, my Celica 190 was hit by cops. At the time insurance was €1300. Cops refused to pay and my insurance company refused to fight my corner. Car repaired for 5k and then sold. Bought the Z. Renewal arrived in October. €6000 with outstanding claim. Change companies and got it for €1200 with a 4k excess. Original insurance company, having paid my repairs, eventually gave in, accepted their losses and returned my full no claims. Cops told to f*** off and fix their own car.
I’d be happy to pay £600, 700, 800 and road tax for next to nothing. I’d save a fortune.
lived in dublin for the last five years , did not buy a car because of the insurance and tax , a 3 year old civic would have cost me 3500euro to insure while i pay less than 800 for my z in birmingham, i miss dublin , but not the traveling there effin luas and dart can kiss my ass

mynismo.com , i got mine for about 90 all in, when the dollar was as valuable as shite , i didnt get stung by customs either -it took about 2 weeks
however , starting to not like mine ,had it on for a few weeks and i think i preferred the 'cleaner' sound of the stock intake , also you cant hear the stock exhaust anymore- even though it was quite faint -i really liked the noise

all that work and they didnt even bother with the brembos

i think it may be your driving technique , too low revs and any car judders, the z needs more revs than most, when i stepped up from a corolla to my zed i was getting a bit of that juddering also , in the corolla the car would normally take off fine without me even using the acclerator pedal , i adjusted my ways and have never had that problem again
saying that if you unsure get you garage at least to check it

i took the speed ferry to dublin , the ramp is fairly steep but there were no problems in my standard z with 18 inch
only problem was that in the ferry there were these ridges on the floor , quite high ones , to direct you to your bay- if you buy a premium ticket you basically get preferential treatment , and you get to park your car towards the exit door-for quicker exit . with the standard ticket your driving around in the feery for a while before you park up- more likely to hit something and if your in the second half of the queue you have to go up another ramp i think
the premium ticket was with stenna line 8 pounds more i think - well worth it

two coats of cheapo turtle speed wax , better than all yours
