  1. Dear WoREoD, Let us see how many we could get interested for a meet on Saturday 4th November at Burnham on Sea. If anyone wants to come along reply to this posting. choptop
  2. Clue is in the title Richard Hammond's nickname is 'The Hamster'......................ok, i've just got a sick mind!
  3. Castrol recommend Edge Sport 0w-40w over their Magnetec Range as it has to comply with the oil spec laid down by Nissan. However at £36 for 4 litres (so you will have to buy another litre for an oil and filter change) it is tad expensive. Halfords recommend their 5w-40w as it is fully synthetic and meets Nissan's spec. Just one point though. If the car is new, the engine does need to 'bed in' and it is better to have a semi synthetic oil for the first 3k miles to allow this to happen. Use Fully synthetic early on and the engine never quite reaches it 'full potential'. No matter what anyone says, change your engine oil and filter after the first 1500 miles. Any swarf etc left in the engine is got rid of. Lots of new engines are run in on a 'bedding in oil' (Mildly abrasive) at the factory. As we have alloy lumps do not know in the case of our Z's. Don't forget to exchange it for a Nissan OEM Filter if the car is within it's warranty period just in case there is a problem and they put it down to using non OEM parts. i.e Get out clause and hence to warranty. Hope this helps.
  4. But that car in the video is not KITT , the one in the video is right hand drive , americans are left hand drive. Accept no substitute He got to No.1 with the song in Austria and they had to put a video together very quick. Th only 'Kit look a like' car they could get was an Aussie one, hence why it is right hand drive. I am full of useless crap like that. Pint of cider anyone?
