  1. Thanks Stew, xstric9x the 260 is in mothballs at the moment but if I can get her back on the road in time I will definately make the drive! you have some good roads people up there!! I bought the 260 when I was 19 and loved it so much I couldnt part with it! When Nissan launched the 350, they said they had modelled it on the of the characteristics of the 240/260 and having now owned one they are bang on! When the buyer was on the test drive this afternoon, we passed an orange zed with black wheels! Think he was suprised when the other driver waived! Freindly bunch!! Enjoy your Z's Phil
  2. My Z is now sold gutted but happy it has gone as need the cash! Thank you to 350Z-UK.com for your help! Will keep logging on to the site when I need a Z fix but was wondering!?....when you go on run outs....would I be welcome to join you in my 260Z......its where it all started!! Phil
  3. Hi Biscuit, punch in earthing into the search function and you will see a few interesting threads on grounding kits.......or use this link....... http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... t=earthing
  4. Thanks! what zorst do you have on your new Z? I thought there was a thread on the site which discusses grounding kits but can't find it I am not a techy person but here goes........basically a grounding kit is extra earth wiring which is attached to key componants around the engine bay! Early 350's suffered from power blead through bad earthing which in turn reduced the amount of power getting through to the fuel pump, ecu etc. By improvong the earthing all these componants get the right power and therein improves the performance! I noticed sharper throttle response and smoother running which combined improved rthe whole drivability of the car! Think Nismo do a self fit kit but got mine from Spills who used my car as the template for his 350 kit! Am sure other forum members will come up with a better explanation!! Phil
  5. Thanks Sound bites worked in getting Tony Blair elected so thought I would try the same to get a sale! Note you have a spills grounding kit fitted to your Z.....make much difference? Phil
  6. The price the zorst is £9,495......will through in the rest of the car for free!!!!
  7. I have had a few requests for sound clips of the mongoose exhaust......thought I would share!!...the camera I used dosn't do it justice but gives the general idea..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcWIXXEl ... ture=email
  8. Hi Scott Pleased to hear about your cash!.....got just the Z for you ........happy to cover any questions you have....one owner car so have the full history Phil
  9. My Z needs to go! have had a lot of interest with Paret Ex but ideally I need the cash.......
  10. Hello! Saw the mongoose zorsts on ebay also........I have a down pipe back fitted to my z.........sounds great and balances well with the stillen intake........allows the engine to breath easily so you can access all the power! There is a pic of the rear of my car on cars for sale......54 Plate Blade £10,495 Would recommend if you are thinking of getting one! Phil
  11. My interests in Ireland were property related so familiar with your tap analogy!! I empathise with you on the business front as it sounds like we are in similar positions! Think it is a matter of following instincts, which may be painful at the time, but in the long run you will be pleased you listened to them! Perhaps you could target insolvency accountants and employmnet lawyers........they should have some spare Euro's!!! Good luck Phil
  12. Perhaps they are too cheap and that is putting people off! A this rate I will be lucky to recover what I have spent on the car this year!! I have a few clients in Ireland so I know how tough life is out there at the moment! used to be out there twice a week but not been out there for 3 months now! Have you thought about a raffle!!?
  13. my sense of humour is fully intact, I just can't get round all the posts these days.............although i do try my hardest..... Suprised you have enough time to drive your car with all your keyboard action ...........good for the environment I guess Lower and wider would be good but I will leave that for the next owner to play with......that is if there any buyers out there with the cash..........loads of interest with Part Ex but nothing that works
  14. Lost your sense of humour Sarnie.........having been reading some of your threads you are usually the first to jump in with some sharp wit!!
