I have a dashcam, £30. Records easily clear enough quality to show where fault lies. I was at a NYE party and chatting to a bloke who works in insurance claims, he said you are fools not to have one, even a cheap one, given so many people now contest claims and try to limit 100% liability.

Mine went up this year around 10% and I hunted around. There have been some increases in taxation on insurance etc. Quite a few threads on this recently if you have a browse.

Remember in France you need to have the kit to hand, so you can still get nicked for having it in the boot. You need to be able to exit the car in the case of a breakdown wearing the hi vis vest.

Got to remember your 350z has ten years on the Supra in terms of chassis design. The Supra is all about the tunability of the engine which in standard form can take boost up to around 500bhp, that includes staying on the standard clutch which is quite amazing.

Pretty sure you just need the reflectors that you stick on?

Do you know what clutch it has in it? Mine certainly didnt do that on OEM clutch both pre and post replacement.

Clutch is a bit random, mine was high when I bought it and 3 months later the clutch gave up. But heard others with high clutch pedals and had no problems. Just one of those things. But it certainly shouldnt be jumping as you describe it based on the Zeds I drove which didnt have that charateristc?

Glad you are enjoying the new car - do please post up your experiences and modifications etc. Forum loves to see Zed story.

If it is the clicky axle problem http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/57807-clicking-axle-noise-solved-try-this-first/

Search for clicky axle fix - very common on zeds

Hope there are some substantial tweaks, the last series was almost unwatchable - fortunately with amazon prime you can just skip all the endless pointless chat and watch the 15 mins or so of car footage.

Shame they never did their own lap times in the reasonably priced car

Actually a quick google shows that in the Grand Tour when the three are asked who is the 'best' driver JC and RH both say its James!

Both drove in daylight, over many laps. Actually you would think the conditions would suit the younger fitter driver?

I would imagine they all use stunt drivers at some point (insurance wouldnt pay out for any of them to say drive along a cliff edge) - but as above, same car, track, etc couldnt get a more even comparison.

As others have said talk to specialists, Jez is very good

2.5 ton car doing 30mph spun around 180 degrees, add in the fulcrum effect initial energy of impact of the wheel against the kerb would have been massive. Any other SUV would have flipped, instead the X just gouged a hole in the concrete!! I guess when you know the car is going to weigh a lot you can throw a load more support into the structure.

At least the batteries didnt explode and turn the car into a fiery inferno

Sold - thread locked

I would think it helps the hinges being on top of the car - any damage to the side should not cause a problem to the door opening if its moving up and away from the car?

If it is O2 sensors, surely this is an easy job to replace you just need the diagnostic kit to test? Or am I being too simplistic in my basic mechanical knowledge?!

Well we shall see, I am personally very skeptical that we are in any shape to negotiate a good divorce from the EU. We have already wasted 3 months of the 24 we have available and Barnier has already been quoted this morning as being somewhat annoyed with the UK over the continued delays whilst they are sat there with their fully worked up plan ready to go. I think the general public have a bit too much trust in the government to have things in order, they are as culpable to complete **** ups like any business we shouldn't assume they are ready to go and everything is in order.

Sure someone will be along to help soon - plenty of traders on here who can help out with parts where needed. Whatever you do do not go throwing money at the stealers straight away.

Bloody hell, sorry to hear this but as above metal can be fixed, much more difficult with people. Looks like the one extra tonne did you all the favours in the world there! Seat seems to have crumpled as it should at the front did you have any dashcam installed?

OK fair enough - I guess based on what people I chatted to and the general consensus on the brexit thread. But hey yes am assuming its the harder brexit many wanted i.e. complete control over border movement, ability to build own trade deals with individual countries etc. which really leaves us by default outside the single market.
