Hi James, i can get 31mpg out of mine if i drive it very very sensibly, which is no fun. However i usually get 330 miles out of £75, and i have fun most of the time! As for car tax - get a JDM (import) like a lot of people on here do, myself included. Most of these aren't affected by the tax rise as their Co2 output wasnt recorded when they were first imported. ...i'm still paying £185 for the year Lastly, i've come from a BMW background... i had an E46 328Ci before this, and i apent approx £1k in a year maintaining it... compared to about £50 i've spent on the zed. Its bulletproof.

Same head unit as mine though... Pioneer Avic N1.

They look very very nice pal The issue is caused by the change in rolling radius from the front to the back... i.e. the rear diameter may have been larger than the front before, but it may be the other way round now - which is what throws out the traction control.

are you going to demonstrate the alcantara console ;-) TmJak will when he gets round to it... im waiting on the results of his before i do the same Is he doing it himself or getting someone to do it? I got some material on the way to wrap some of my interior, but wouldnt attempt the centre console as its a bit fiddly Getting a professional job done... as far as i know. What are you planning to wrap?? Just this and that. You'll see when I'm done as long as it doesnt go tits up

Does that really work? There was no confirmation in the thread... I'd be worried bud, i'd say the tyre sizes are wrong... i would have thought you'd need a 30 profile on the front too. By chance, you didnt get these wheels from DP motorsport in scotland did you...? I got mine from them in July, and they were trying to force me to get the same tyres as you have, but in 19's, until i demanded they give me the same profile all round after reading about the rolling radium issues you're experiencing... Chris.

How many have you got... there's only 4 of us... but yeh, im game.

Blue lights in the clocks... i'd love that on mine.

Wouldnt this look best with just a plain white background? The backdrop wont look good on a mug will it?? I'll have a go when i get home tonight if nobody beats me to it...

I thought COD3 was good and wished some of the stuff was carried over to 4. From what I've heard so far it's very good and a excellent continution on from 4. For the record im on prestige 6 Tosser Having said that, i only ever played Team Deathmatch, until in August i realised you get 4 times as many points on Headquarters!! The time i've wasted...

I lived on COD4 until about a month ago (3rd lvl prestige ) ... but im not sure im even gonna bother with COD5 - Trearch are making it rather than IW, as they did with COD3 and that sucked!! ...but i'll have a look though, cheers Mike! Chris. (currently glued to Fifa09)

I'd already heard the gossip at zedfest...

Hey Stan. Choice of two bulbs if iirc. Although no sure fire way to know which until you get the bulb out!! If it has hid headlights as you suggest, the bulb your require is a D2R, which the cheapest i've seen them for is £48ea from a local parts store. Nissan want over a hundred each i think! If it is standard bulbs, you're after an H7 i believe. As for finding out which bulb is fitted - can you compare the look of the headlight to yours when switched on? I've not really looked at the HID lights in action before, but thats probably your only option... As for the swap... good luck - the nights are drawing in now, and i dont think i'd have enough time for a bumper off job by the time i get home from work!

all my search terms contained the word FOG! The fog light used to work but now doesnt, meaning its either the bulb or the fuse... dcash - can you hear a buzz when you switch yours on? Useful link though... will print it out for future reference!

Thats my dilemma - i've had the brake light off, but there's no access to the foglight bulb. I can get to the indicator there, but im guessing cos it was an SVA frig, the unit doesnt have the standard bulb access - hence i need to take the bumper off... so in this case the fuse is easier to check!

As you know mike, mine work intermittently... And these were £12 for Halfrauds! I've taken them out in the end and have no sidelights in the headlights now... just my led reflectors.

Okay, i fixed my windscreen washers, but i've got a question about the foglight. As the cars a JDM, the foglight will have been added for the SVA. When i flick the rocker switch by my right knee, the light on the switch comes on, but i can hear a quick, distinct buzz from the fuse panel by my right foot. This happens when i turn it off also. So, does this sound like a blown fuse, or is this normal. And from the pics, does anyone have any suggestions as to which fuse it may be?! I've just tried to get to the fog light bulb, but it looks like a bumper off job as there's no access to the bulb having taken the taillight off. - im guessing UK units can get to the bulb no problem eh? Never mind. So, if someone with a JDM and a working foglight can check if their's buzzes, then i'd very much appreciate it!! Cheers Chris. Fuse panel: Jap instructions: Back of fog light looking down from headlight...:

Hmmm false alarm then, they didnt mention the handbrake! I've failed on a faulty rear fog light, and my windscreen washers appear to be blocked... not too shabby! ...Im off to search for the required diy's now...!

I take it its the oem alarm? Mine has an aftermarket alarm, and occasionally does this. I soon figured out that it was the interior motion sensors that are at the top of the A-Pillar. If i or a passenger had knocked them, and they were pointing more toward the windscreen, it would set it off repeatedly - in the same manner as you described. I dont know if they were picking up outside movements, or a temperature change or what, i just know pointing these to the center of the car fixed it. Good luck!

Mmmmm. These look good. This is eBay.com though but it does say ships worldwide. Clicky

Well, 1 yr next week, and 18k miles. But yes, i agree.

The 10mm screw under the ashtray is for the handbrake handle travel adjustment - which is worth a go before the MOT - it could solve the problem if it's just tightening the cable that needs doing. If the shoes are slightly worn, you can try the shoe adjuster on each wheel, takes a bit longer tho! - Take a look at step 23 of the non-brembo rear-brakes change guide I posted last week How to: Change non-Brembo rear discs & pads Otherwise changing the shoes is a relatively easy job if you own a set of spanners, breaker bar and a trolley jack - release handbrake, take the discs off (as in my guide), loosen handbrake cable adjuster at the ash-tray to make shoe removal easier, remove brake shoe holding pins and springs - then the shoes should pull apart and come out Steve Cheers Steve, good guide. But i wont be doing this myself... Well, i might have if i'd posted the question before the weekend but its too late now So does anyone know if the brake shoes are readily available from a standard motor factors store, incase i need them?

Good question. This is the only auto i've ever driven so i dont know any different. May well stop using it!

Just found this thread - im not saying the car is for you but this perfectly illustrates the price drop at the moment http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12721&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
