    uprev remap. how do you know?

    in Performance

    Posted

    You would probably have to drive a standard Zed to tell, an upRev normally gives you WOT so should be easy enough to tell from that really :shrug:

    Could try going over 155mph to see if the limiters been taken off. :shrug: Probably best not done on the M25 though or similar. :lol:

     

    Ah yes it's a fairlady of course...

     

    Just a thought but as upRev requires a license couldn't you contact them and see if there is a record :shrug:

    Think actually the speed limiter on the JDM's is 112 mph but still it would be one fun way to tell if the limiters been removed. :drive1

     

     

    Might work contacting some UpRev tuners as you say Dave to see if they keep the cars registration in some sort of data base. ;)

     

    Or worst case phone the 3 UK places that actually can do the tune...

    350z vs 370z

    Is there any plans or rumours for a new zed? Or will they be sticking with the 370 for a few more years?

     

    There was some speculation a year or so ago that the new Z would appear in 2016. I seem to remember talk of a smaller capacity turbo charged engine and a targa top!!!

     

    Be interesting to see what happens.

     

    Sounds like a Zed GT86...

    Citroen... on a bit of a roll it seems

    They may be starting to look a little funky but I'd never buy a Citroen, just don't trust them electronically after so many stories from friends.

     

    Apart from a random radio reset Mary's DS3 has been fine so far :)

     

    The DS3 is a good looking little car I think, yes you can tell what parts have been built to a price but then that's pretty much par for the price range

    The 370 hasn't exactly been a success sales wise over here but who knows, as long as Nissan keep making money with the Micra, Juke Quashqai then hopefully they will keep the Zed line going in one way or another...

    Another pointless thread. I'm surprised the moderators allow these posts to continue to be honest. They add no value and just cause hostility amongst some of the members... Who get upset easily

     

    You are all sensible adults and there is no harm in this thread or anything that's been said, and if we started removing pointless threads, well, bang would go my bed time reading ;)

     

    Personally for me I love both the 350 I had and the 370. I'd have to say the 350 was more fun on the road but in the roadster format the 370 looks better and the cockpit is a nicer place to be, but I still miss my old 350 and the Milltek and berks hfc combo. But would I go back, no.

     

    Well said Will, there seem to be too many previous owners on here who can't possibly hear an intelligently put comment on 'their' car.

    STOLEN 350Z !!

    in 350Z General

    Sorry to hear this pal. Haven't heard of a car get stolen for a long time. Seen two gone this week. Hope they find the scum

     

    Sign of the times I guess, not much in stolen cars I guess but when people are desperate they will nick anything... I am using the term 'people' in the loosest possible way

    Don't disagree Dave but I wouldn't wrap it in the first place unless the bonnet was a mess and I was wrapping it to hide some nasties. Are you driving down to Incarnation ?.

    May well go to Brighton yes Martin, lots of people I know going so will be good to catch up and chat about all your 'cheap' cars :stir:

    All depends on your prospective ;) I would imagine some people have worked long and hard and saved for one, quite offensive you should choose to call their car cheap.

     

    I'm talking about the bottom end of the Zed market, those ARE cheap, if you have to work long and hard to afford a 2003/2004 Zed on high mileage then you are in for a shock when it comes to buying tyres or modding surely :shrug:

     

    The days of 90% of owners on here having to pay £10k + for a weekend car are long gone, just being realistic that's all.

     

    Nothing offensive about something that is cheap, for the performance and looks of a Zed they are ALL cheap in my opinion, performance and handling of a much more expensive car...

     

    A lot of people will factor in purchase price + expected mods in their budget. I could have afforded a lot newer 350 if i hadnt wanted to put my touch too it. I dont see a huge enough difference to justify the newer model so would prefer to put that extra towards making mine better (in my eyes), i am not only talking looks, but handling/performance, again to suit my expectations.

     

    Ah yes, another mention of the good old days of the forum and 350 ownership, when the forum was great and it was all trees round here when i was a lad :yawn:

     

    If you think 350's are cheap, slow and plenty of other pops at them, thats absolutely fine, we are all entitled to an opinion, but to hang around and feel the need to share this on a owners forum is just plain odd :wacko:

     

    It's not an opinion it's a fact, aZed over £10k would have to be absolutely mint, plenty of older ones for around the £5k mark which is cheap for such a powerful performance GT car...

     

    When have I had pops? I can state whatever I say from a lot more miles driving a Zed than most on here :p

     

    Zeds are not the quickest, not the prettiest and getting cheaper all the time, doesn't make them any less desirable though

     

    As for the forum being great, it certainly was, is it not now then :shrug:

     

    Funnily enough I was talking to a very well respected trader from here today about cheap Zeds, he agreed that you can get a Zed for say £4k and then new tyres, discs, pads, clutch & flywheel and you have spent half of what the car is worth :scare: how is that not cheap to start with... The Zed was designed and meant to be an affordable car for the people wasn't it :shrug:

    Jaguar XE...What do people think??

    in Other Cars

    Posted

    Exactly what I thought Dave, the rear end looks identical to an older Audi a6

     

    I caused a bit of 'fuss' on the Jag forum :lol:

     

    Just find it uninspiring, I am sure it will get along the road nicely and handle very well but it just looks so bland!

     

    Made me laugh as all the Jag owners on the forum go on and on about boring Audi/Beemer & Mercs then starting saying what a brilliant car the XE is... for me it loses everything that is great about the XF, the presence and the interior :p
