I was expecting a P3 but they've said it needs a P1 owing to its age

£401.19 for the service and the plugs, but I didn't mention the cruise control 'issue'. I assume it's a fixed price, anyone comment on how it compares? In the meantime am checking with my local non-Nissan garage.

Thank you, will see what they say

They have still to call me back with a quote - can you let me know what I should be asking for, and the Opie price? (Sorry to be such a n00b)

not bother with what, the plugs?

So I'd need to buy those plugs from Opie and then take them to a private dealer for servicing? Be a bit worried since I'm having a slight problem with cruise control so wanted to take it to Nissan. Antelope is simply local, no idea if any good.

Antelope Nissan of Banbury tell me that even though I am due a P3/36k service, they say because the car is 5 years old that regardless of what the log book says it needs a P1 and 'Platinum plugs'. Is this true?

I've got Falkens but - I dunno, it was really weird. I mean to lose it that badly at that speed. I checked my tyre pressures this morning and they are fine.

Aye, just off to the phone to our local garage who will look it over on Saturday, booked a tracking and asked them to clean all the grass off the undercarriage

Had my Zed 18 months and always been amazed at it's stability, in general been careful in rain or snow, last night on what I thought were drying roads left a roundabout I've done a thousand times before at about 50 found myself going properly sideways, corrected it but only enough to plough straight up a kerb and onto a grass verge. Amazingly other than half a field stuck to the underside and alignment of the steering wheel (possibly my imgination) it seems to be OK. Dunno what it was - some standing water or just being tired - but seems like a very lucky escape. Take it easy all!

Nice one, thanks. Got a couple of months to go yet but will be sure to get in touch.

Am in Daventry which is in Northamptonshire, there are Nissan dealers in Banbury and Warwick / Leamington but not sure they are the best places to go. Basically would rather take it to someone who services these all the time and knows what they are doing, even if it means a wee drive. Any suggestions welcome.

Great day with some beautiful Zeds (the yellow one and the white convertibles being ) but next year I'm taking a face mask - must have inhaled a pound of rubber watching the drifiting, can barely breathe today!

I'm in Northants. Thanks for the tips, think I'll check out everyone's machines at JTS and see what I like

Yep, its a guy called Jon's car. Nice car.... Shame the tyre guys couldnt get the right tyres on the 350z on Saturday... They had a front on the rear and visa versa... didnt notice till they came into the pits though... handling was all over the place and good work to the drivers for keeping it on the track! well I was cheering them on The Playststion car was awesome too Thanks for the bodykit info, who can supply and fit that fit me and what am I looking at plus metallic paint?

so what is the bodykit on that 350 above? Would be tempted to get mine like that

Great pix - well jealous of your GTR. Are you going to JTS?

All paid up

Um, is it normal for PMs you send to be sat in your Outbox rather than Sent folder?

We're over near Daventry

Ace, thanks! Have sent PM.

Too late to sign up for this? We go every year but just as visitors (live less than 20 minutes away!). Seriously tempted by track time (even if people frown on my unmodded, standard suspension GT ) after watching the GT4 over the weekend. I will DEFINITELY take track time if it helps get session to ourselves!

Here is the 370 http://www.flickr.com/photos/davebrickley/3497961742/ Here is the gorgeous import http://www.flickr.com/photos/davebrickley/3497961720/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/davebrickley/3497961692/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/davebrickley/3497961644/ Here's something else http://www.flickr.com/photos/davebrickley/3497961806/

Just awesome to see a 350z being driven in anger and holding its own too, what a noise it makes. Am totally inspired to get mine down for a track day. Also saw an absolute beauty of an import, will post pix later. Also saw a 370. Lovely interior but I reckon my 350 looks more aggressive
