  1. Great that it worked out so well. I love that phrase from Transformers, "owners don't chose their cars, cars choose their owners". Have to wonder sometimes if it's true.
  2. You're only jealous coz yours isn't that big.
  3. Lol, surprised he's still walking at all.
  4. Eeew, had to look up on Google to find out who that is, but eeeeew. Nigel get your coat man.
  5. Welcome Johnny, what colour is your Zed?
  6. It's not an option at the minute as the car is under warranty and the Nissan alarm should work. Quite interesting how countries and following insurance companies vary. My 350 was the first 350 my insurance company had insured. I was going to install an aftermarket alarm anyway, but my insurance company would not insure my car with the stock factory alarm system, only one immobiliser. Great to hear you might get a resolve, as there's been a recall. Good luck.
  7. It will be interesting to see what you find Phil. Having been through this with my 2004, had the axle regrease, then about a year later paid out for a whole new axle assembly even though this had all been been logged with Nissan, long disappointing story. The technical term is "unusual axial looseness", you'll find this on the 350z-tech.com, there is a technical document associated with this. If it's the same as my Zed had, the supposidly fixed end of the axle, the spline pops in and out, creates rather unsafe handling characteristics. Hope it's not that for your customers sake, axle assemblies are not cheap, even at trade price I paid mine axle assembly. (I can't find the docm on 350z-tech at mo, but still have the doc in hard copy if you need it). Hehe, I think you mean "axle assembly" (it is part of the drive train though), driveshaft is the one that goes from front to back. (sorry wasn't nit picking, just good to have correct terms)
  8. Welcome Lurker. Seems you're already aquainted with BigPhil. Nice mods there.
  9. Welcome to the nuthouse Dan. Lots to learn, as you've already found. Hehe, Zed straight jackets should be supplied upon joining the forum, or buying a Zed, not sure which, probably both.
  10. The before photo rocks. Imagine how water would bead or go real white on all that excess wax. Hehe, love the after shots more though.
  11. Now that's the way it should be.
  12. That's a pretty brazen cheek really. If it were me I wouldn't be happy. What if he'd had an accident. Oh sorry. I'm with Rob and Stuey on this one.
  13. Hehe, we have one of those in NZ, the Heat Treatments 350z. http://zclub.org.nz/viewtopic.php?t=473&test=test http://www.htlracing.co.nz/ http://www.htlracing.co.nz/350z.html
  14. Lol, obviously dumb flightless birds don't get.
  15. I'd say the later. For instance if you have new tyres put on a some shops they'll use disgusting silicone type formula, other just use total rubbish, which of course will shift and not stay put. Ditto Gixx. I've been using the Turbo Wax Tire (tyre) Gel, for about 14-15 months now. Love the stuff to pieces. It's kept my tyres lovely and with definite deep dark sheen, without spinning off, no damage to the tyres and it doesn't creep, it lasts really well, even in super harsh Kiwi conditions, so the UK would be even better. You don't need much product, a little goes a long way, and the shine/sheen can be built up if you use a couple of coats/applications, which is fab for shows, ie if you need a gentle/natural sheen, or you want a more wet look depending what sort of show you're displaying at. Given my Zed is a Sunset, it would be very obvious if I'd had any spin off, eeks like some other products I've used. http://www.turbowax.com/prod/turbo-wax- ... 16-oz.html http://www.turbowax.com/cat/tire-wheels/
  16. Very nice Zed there Clarkie. Welcome to the madhouse.
  17. camera Sunblock! UK, sunblock.
  18. CJD1979, they're only parts, don't freat, parts are replaceable.
  19. Welcome Ando. Good to hear you've got your wife on side. No fighting for the keys now.
  20. Beware.
  21. Welcome to the forum Thane. Are there corresponding lights on the remote and somewhere, most likely on the steering column? Have a nosey around under the bonnet or around the firewall at the top of the carpet on the drivers side, that will probably give you some clue as to what brand the alarm might be. The red light on top of the dash in front of the steering wheel will be the stock led for the stock alarm.
  22. Aaw, that's no good. At least it's only superficial damage on the upside.
  23. Lol, our cars are almost French, given who owns Nissan.
  24. You certainly can't pass Toymota's for their reliability & still of the new cars have the least faults. Most of them you could just about drop off a roof and they'd still go.
  25. About as far as you can get out of London, or the UK. You mean "Greenwich Jay Time".
