  1. Welcome ! Be careful the chipped glass doesn't damage the rubber when it's raised and lowered, looks a clean example Powered delivery on the zed is very linear, deceptive, it's quicker than it feels
  2. Difficult because you have the hfc's Without I would say invidia, I have heard one off the forum and it sounded very nice, not too much Never read a bad review of the invidia and I like the slash end pipes The milltek I have read can be a bit too oem without hfc's but maybe sounds good with them, never heard one I know this doesn't help, I'm in the same boat but trying to hang until I hear what I really want as its a lot of cash to waste I find the oem system that quiet that I've had to alter my driving, I would normally change gear by sound but find I have to use the rev counter now
  3. Believe it or not it is the same for a lot of people on the 996 forum, it's called Porsche paranoia There are so many reports of engine failures, ims, bore scoring, rebuilds etc that people become scared to drive them A lot of people sell up due to this as a rebuilt engine is almost the value of the car now
  4. I enabled the camera in the hidden settings on display. The camera is compatible with the lines set on the system as default so I had nothing to set up it took 30 seconds to enable it. It's the exact same lines as the ones that were in the Infiniti G37 courtesy car I had. The camera is just as good in quality also. is it actually set up ? do the lines curve to show you the direction of travel when you are altering the steering ? cheers Paul pics in this thread as its difficult to explain.. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/69820-some-new-modsreversing-camera-and-kick-plates/
  5. I paid more for the camera but it has a much wider angle than the one shown and I got the cable off ebay 2nd hand, still cost much more than £80 though

  7. That engine bay is immaculate ! How thick are those carpets !
  8. I got the kenwood cmos 210, more expensive but no complaints, excellent in the day and night I still havent managed to get the angle where I want it and the lines on the ground properly, used the settings off the usa site
  9. not seen that before, its odd they way it just shoots to the left, loss of traction ??
  10. Have you tried ringing the bell ? There might be someone home
  11. Awesome pics and lovely car but just highlights that car manufacturers still cannot paint plastic and metal the same colour !! love the rolling shot
  12. I fitted a rear view camera, the 370 is like reversing in a van
  13. no it doesnt, they are just straight pieces but there is a hole in the boot lid for where that piece would have been riveted Thanks same as mine then. Problem solved then, for some reason Nissan stopped fitting the small curved end at some point in 2010. If the schematic is anything to go by then possibly at some point in the past, or possibly very recently, they fitted a much longer piece. no doubt they will be faster with that weight saving
  14. i have just put a washer the thickness of a 1p in mine and they work fine, the poppers are not cheap and can only remedy the situation for a matter of months before they fail again
  15. no it doesnt, they are just straight pieces but there is a hole in the boot lid for where that piece would have been riveted
  16. Rms - not a bigee Ims - youre ringing hartech for a rebuild, sourcing an engine or parting out on eBay
  17. Hmm mine is an 11 plate and does not have the curved part, just the straight part
  18. Common faults - ims, rms, brittle leaking coolant tank, brakes but this is mainly due to corrosion on the rear of the discs as the cars aren't used enough, tyres can get flat spot due to the same reason as the brakes, bore scoring. radiators and condensors due to no protection behind the grills ( i fitted wire mesh) Parts range from ridiculous to reasonable, you need to shop around Drive wise they ate very planted and lovely power delivery My advice would be to spend some time on 911uk forum and get a feel for the car I have just sold my 996 after 3 and a half years, I had a coolant tank on warranty and I did the pads and discs all round in that time The pse is awesome if you can get a car with one, the Bose system is crap as is the sat nav so don't pay a premium for ether as you will rip it out The 997 is a nicer place to be and more refined but you pay for that and then comes the dilemma of .,, 997 or 996 turbo ? the boxster, cayman and 997 ( except from 07 on iirc) have the same engine, the turbo doesnt, it has the m96 block, much stronger but other problems arise, actuators, rusted turbo bolts, there are generic problems with all cars my 370 insurance was cheaper ! Hth Paul Ps unless it's a very early car you can do an amberectomy and get rid of the fried egg headlights, costs nothing to do and back to the fold with ............
  19. Agreed, obviously being made an example of unfortunately for him
  20. It's all about speed ! If he had pulled out the junction faster he would of been ok As above, that is more about poor observation than speed
