  1. Ah a gooner, tell you what you can have my tonneau, stubby and RSW kit (would need your interior as an exchange) for the bargain price of £3,000 You must have money to burn paying to watch that team of yours Welcome to the site!!!!!
  2. I've got all 3! Well not chrome stubby but black one. Genuine tonneau is about £100+ you can get made up ones but they are not great imo stubby I got s2000 one from trader on here, I got RSW carbon kit, about £600-700 new but I got from a member 2nd hand with my genuine tonneau. You can get cheaper carbon kits off eBay some look pretty good, and I think a trader on here does one for about £350 iirc. Do a search there are lots of pics
  3. JDM is slightly less powerful - Not true, restricted, has non Brembo brakes - Models S and ST do, Jap dials (KMs), slightly different interior - really?, harder to insure, very quiet exhaust but are much cheaper Ooops I didn't mean less powerful I meant restricted, been a long week.... didn't realise there were different JDM models either but there are quite a few small interior differences if you look really really hard
  4. Welcome to the site, lovely looking car. You won't endear yourself to the site by asking questions asked 1,000,000 times before. If you search you will find loads of threads on the differences between JDM and UK. But as you have gone to so much trouble posting pics of your lovely RX8 on a 350z site here are just a few JDM is slightly less powerful, restricted, has non Brembo brakes, Jap dials (KMs) slightly different interior, harder to insure, very quiet exhaust but are much cheaper Good luck with finding what you are looking for
  5. You could try eBay I was going to, but try Sarah ( chillired ) cheaper, great to do business with, speedy delivery and also keeps the business on the site so to speak.
  6. Just had this exhaust fitted at Abbey. All I can say is wow what a quality bit of kit and it sounds superb! I was going to go with the masses and get a scorpion but I'm glad to be different and it wasn't all that much more expensive. I will get some pics up when I can.
  7. Surely a rusty Z could be classed as a ginger car?
  8. Until there is a better option I will keep watching it, yes the repeats on Dave are better even though I have seen them 100 times but its like football or sex with the missus, one day you just hope it will be as good as it used to be
  9. I think its better than the last couple of series, still seems to be a bit more about ego's than cars but its good entertainment and if it was more geeky it wouldn't appeal to the masses I guess...
  10. I guess you tried turning all the power of for a few minutes then rebooting, mine plays up every now and then and a power off sorts it all out.
  11. Surely for £650 you could have a double din unit with satnav built in, would probably be better than the oem nissan one. Then flog the nissan one to get a bit of your money back
  12. I was considering exactly the setup you mention as a lot of people on here have it and seem happy with it..... but I decided on this instead.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Buddy-Club-Pro-Spec-cat-back-exhaust-Nissan-350Z-Z33-/350285735798?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item518ea82776#ht_730wt_907 Not a lot more expensive and seems to be very impressive It arrives Monday
  13. Mine has burnt out too how much do you want for yours sketch?
  14. Will have to invest in some of those (just not red) as my lovely black ebay ones got nicked they were the type you just tighten a bit with a socket but still they went during a meal in a Harvester car park
  15. I was thinking the same thing..... I was hoping my Z would be a magnet, just not in THAT way....
  16. Cheers Rich, PM replied to.... jeez you have to be quick round here, what a bunch of Vultures we all are!!!!
  17. Is that all 350z's from here? Not sure, I asked how business was and Scott said he had 7 Z's in this week for dyno + workshop... if its all member on here then
  18. If you search you will find answers to all your questions All depends on what you get, I got a F900bt with SatNav + BT + iPod etc etc etc.... Phone controls work ok and dont need the BT phone system as it has it built in
  19. You must be one of the 7 guys booked in this week with Abbey. I was there last thursday had the same set up fitted from alex but I didnt get the remap .....yet You will love the new setup, if your gears are even a little stiff get them to change the gearbox oil too, alex suggested this as I had some vibration in 5th and now its sooooo smooooth
  20. Looking good Good luck keeping a black car looking clean though!
  21. Seems some of the traders on here have got a bad name lately, so glad to give praise where it is due. I asked Scott at Abbey if he was getting lots of trade from the site, not sure if they are all members but 7 Z's booked in for tuning and workshop time next week alone! I could have got my work done nearer but its nice to go somewhere that sees Z's all the time not just once in a while.
  22. The last couple of months have not been great.... Clutch getting heavier and heavier, I'm 6'4" and no wimp but I almost needed a left knee support!!! 5th gear sticking, also vibration when in 5th @ just over 3k, all leaving me and not loving my Z. New clutch & flywheel from zmanalex Trip to Abbey, clutch fitted, HEL brake lines fitted, gearbox oil change and some other minor work and..... Even on the fairly gentle 30 mile trip home the difference was huge, lovely light clutch, smoother gear changes (no sticking), no vibration and no rattle from under the car thanks to some welding... Thanks Alex and thanks Abbey for making me my Z again
