    Non GT

    I have heard its not easy on a 350z as you have to do some low level tinkering with the ECU. Not sure if this across all the models. There is a fair bit of info about this on the US forums.

    Non GT

    I am on my second Zed, my first was a GT 280bhp and the one I have now is a non-gt 313bhp with custom leather seats. I have been all round the country looking at Zeds for months and I always said to myself I have to get another GT and it must be the 313bhp model, problem was I could not find any which were in the right condition. Finally a car turned up on my doorstep at a main dealer (4 miles away, I had been going over 100 miles!!) and it was in my fav colour the condition was too good to miss, millage was right but it was a non GT. After a lot of debating, I brought the car. http://s283.photobucket.com/albums/kk28 ... 87/Ronnie/ Now I have the car I can say that the standard head unit is not too bad I dont miss the bose at all to be honest I really do think its over rated, dont miss cruise control either. I havent looked back since buying the car, for me condition was everything. I get the impression the GT pack is more important on the 280 and 300bhp models there seems to be more of those about when I was looking and they did not seem to hold their price as much, maybe because they are naturally older? My advice? hang on for a 313bhp one in good nick, if its a GT its a bonus but not a deal breaker... this is just my 2p though only you know your own priorities.
  4. when was your gearbox oil last changed?
  5. Oh sorry I did not know that about an biography. To be completely honest and putting BS and banter aside alot of my dislike for Bernie is from just seeing him on TV and what I read/hear in the news. To be fair to the guy I dont think I can really judge him without seeing both sides of the story so I put my hands up on that one, so I stand corrected Problem for me at the moment is getting enough time to read his book! I just wish I did not have to pay the full blown subscription fee for Sky to continue following the sport next year, does anyone know if you can do a pay per race kind of thing?
  6. You are gonna need more than one sheet of bounty to mop that lot up!
  7. Glad to hear you ok fella. What tyre pressures you running? And when where they last checked?
  8. +1 I have seen some Cat D's for sale and they offered engineers report. It covers you as well if they try and blame any accident on you at a later date.
  9. I would buy it but that would mean I am giving him more of my money!
  10. For those who would like F1 to remain on the BBC I suspect nothing will happen but worth a punt? http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/57 Spread the word!
  11. With the HR didnt Nissan change 80% of the engine, did this extend to the exhaust system? I would be worried about putting parts from an earlier engine and negating some of the gains the HR has?
  12. I suspect this has already been posted but there is quite a few pages to this thread so I expect this has got lost.... There is an e-petition calling for rioters to lose their benefits, heres a link to the Beeb with some background http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-14474429 and here is a link the the actual e-petition http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/7337

    Rusty Stonechip

    Great thanks for the info guys
  14. Hi all, I am looking at car to buy froma Nissan dealer and I notice on the front wing it has got a small stone chip and its gone through to the metal and started to rust (no bubbling yet). Would this be covered as part of the corrsion waranty? Naturally I am going to ask them to fix this before I would even consider buying the car, but in the future how does this kind of thing get fixed? And who would pay for it? Do you have to sand down that area of the panel to remove the rust then repaint? Or can you just paint over it? Thanks
  15. Forgive me mate but I think you have got your priorities around the wrong way, good oil should come first then things like uprated brake pads etc. Can you hang on abit longer and pay out for the good stuff?
  16. There are some other TT 350z's on PH alot cheaper : http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2806159.htm http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/3076550.htm I would have been interested in the 2nd one if I could afford to insure it!
  17. Worth it would you say fella?
  18. Welcome I am also a Norwich based, I am currently looking for my second Zed. I think we should get all the Norwich Zed together!
  19. Thanks for your responses guys, I am going to aim for 16500 to 16750. Does that seem about right?
  20. As per the title, price seems very high to me? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3026473.htm

    350z HR Wanted

    hmmm it is, millage is higher than I would like. My main concern is paintwork on the black Zeds as I have seen two and they havent been very good and they had less than 40k. But I know each car is individual Do you wanna pm me some pics and price and where abouts you are based? Thanks

    350z HR Wanted

    Just to let people know, I am open to all other colours apart from orange.
  23. Thanks for the heads up on the price. I am noticing alot of Zeds for sale are completely out of touch with the actual value of the car. There is a white 2008 near me with 29k miles and it has got a few marks on the body...16k they want for it?!?!? I have already said to them thats far too high and the lowest they would go is 15.5k - not that I would buy it after looking at it. I am getting very frustrated at the moment, where I am based there is nothing around which is at a sensible price so I am having to look at cars which are 100 miles away. Problem is as I have found you can be told the car is in great condition and get there and find its covered in stone chips and parking dents.
