My rear washer has never worked, doesn't really cause me any issues and I drive the Zed in rain / snow etc.... I have even considered taking the rear wiper off completely as I don't think I have ever used it really...

Hello Dave

Insurance companies just don't understand common sense. I had a conversation with them about my Milltek, said it was cheaper and IMO better than stock so how could they charge me MORE to insure something that would be cheaper to replace if rear ended than an OEM one... You take your choice, go to a mainstream insurer and blag it or take a chance or go to an insurer that understands the car and any modifications made to it. To assume anything or think you can argue when there is a problem is maybe a little naive, but each to their own opinion

An insurance company will never buy the fact that it isnt enhancing peformance unfortunatley + 1,000,000 You can't class replacing a stock exhaust with a Stillen or Nismo as like for like replacements, same as slotted / drilled disks. Brake pads I guess you may be ok with. If you didn't declare 'obvious' items like exhaust & disks that can clearly be seen then at worst your insurance would only cover you for stock replacements and at worst they would simply declare your policy null and void. When I had my accident I had just refitted my pop charger to see how it sounded and not declared it, luckily I could drive home and swap it over as when I picked the car up from the coach works the guy that replaced my drivers door said that he noticed my door mirror mod and said that he hadn't rewired it up and that it should have been declared really...

My latest combo - Gary is quite right, combinations so far - 1. Standard 2. KTA Gear Knob & Standard Handbrake 3. KTA Gear knob, standard Handbrake & Redline black CF Gaiters 4. KTA Gear knob, MOMO handbrake & Redline black cf gaiters 5. KTA Gear knob, Nardi ally handbrake & redline cf gaiters 6. KTA Gear knob, Nardy ally handbrake & alacantra gaiters 7. Nismo Gear knob, Nardy ally handbrake & alacantra gaiters 8. Nismo Gear knob, Nardy CF handbrake & alacantra gaiters.... And yes I have had slightly more exhaust combinations than that also

Handbrake cover related Zed meet

Here is a pic of my Handbrake naked Graham is quite correct and the 3 holes are where different covers have been fitted You can tuck the gaiter down inside of the handbrake assembly but you have to be careful or it stops the working of the handbrake itself.

Ginger Ninja looking good

I have just fitted my 3rd different handbrake cover, really nothing to worry about guys... All the info is on here if you wana take a look. http://www.350z-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Parking_Brake_Handle_Installation MOMO covers fit - I have fitted one Nardi covers fit - I have fitted one Richbrook covers fit - Rising Power has fitted one. All require a certain amount of 'modification' to fit though....

Can members donate any old tat they don't want anymore as booby prizes

I went and got the new wireless wheel yesterday, its pretty good, takes some getting used to but quite responsive. I guess purists would sniff at it but if you dont have a permanent set up with a fixed wheel and pedals etc its ideal, kind of a step up from a wii wheel on Mario Kart! I found you can sit back comfy on the sofa and rest it on your lap quite comfy, ideal for the casual gamer!

Do you have standard exhaust and cats?

Now you see it was that red mist that caused the shunt I'm a bit particular about whose rear end I get up close and personal with Oooooooh I feel all special now

That's funnier than the actual joke Sorry Toby

Can't you borrow one and copy it?

I'm game once I get back home after the borders run mate. Haven't had the practice yet though, so ill need a few hours. I work nights so on at random times.... add me, I will give you one guess for my Xbox Live Profile

Plus they do the 370 in about 1,000 shades of grey Silver looks good but a grey sports car..... really?

Now you see it was that red mist that caused the shunt

Some informed choices there Berks + Milltek = I have a Pop Charger that I stick on sometimes too I find it fills in that spot at 4.5k when the Berks go a bit tinny....

I was driving to a friends the other weekend in the Zed, quite sedately.... then my iPod decided I needed to speed it up a bit... 1st - Stellify - Ian Brown 2nd - Don't Stop Believing - Journey 3rd - Uprising - Muse 4th - Don't Stop me Now - Queen The journey was shorter than I thought

Shame there isn't a drummer hitting a cymbal smiley.... This will have to do -

70's Rock for me... Is it just me or is that Zugara on the drums

Be interested to hear what you think about the wireless wheel.... some mixed reviews
