  1. It's a poor advert overall, but Ioneabee is right; if the Sat Nav is touch screen and allows post code searches, it's Connect Premium. If not, it isn't. I can say this for certain because I've had two 370Zs - one with and one without CP. since its a 2010 car, it's most likely Connect Premium equipped. Hope that helps.
  2. I wouldn't worry about the sat nav. I'd be much more concerned about the "swede and leather interior"
  3. In the very unlikely event that I ever become rich I would never pay a ton of money for a watch. I just can't see the point of it, but that's just me. When I was a teenager in the 80s Casio digital watches were all the rage. I picked up one of these for less than £10 on Ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-CASIO-F91W-DIGITAL-CLASSIC-RETRO-SPORTS-WATCH-BLACK-ALARM-STOPWATCH-W7-/290722658135?pt=UK_Jewelery_Watches_Watches_MensWatches_GL Been working perfectly for over a year and quite a few people who remember the Casio craze have remarked on it.
  4. That's a pain but at least if you have them all done at the same time you will get a consistent finish. I ended up getting all mine redone in a different colour because people seem to struggle to replicate the 'smoked chrome' look consistently. At one point I had one wheel that was quite obviously darker than the others. I ended up going for this more basic colour in the end, so it should be easier to replicate if I ever curb them again. I posted up the results here. Kept them free of the curb since then, but no doubt cursed myself by saying that http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/59939-repainted-wheels/page__hl__%2Brepainted+%2Bwheels
  5. Worth taking your time parking to keep those wheels nice anyway. I don't live on a hill but I still spend a fair while shuffling into place
  6. Wouldn't have thought you should get a smell from the clutch with normal driving. My previous 370z was my first car so I was prone to some pretty rough gear changes and less than great driving etc for a good while. I don't recall ever getting a clutch smell, except on a couple of occasions when I over-revved and didn't release the clutch quickly enough so i got a bit of 'clutch burn'.
  7. Not a massive Ferrari fan usually but that is one seriously handsome car. What does your dad do for a living?
  8. Sorry, I can't resist; "principle", not "principal". I'll get my coat.
  9. I looked into sensors before getting a camera. Cobra make a set that sit flush with the bumper - they look very discrete unlike some others. I've read mixed reviews about the ones that don't require drilling the bumper.
  10. It's obviously frustrating if you're not getting a response but unless you are certain he is deliberately ignoring you, naming and shaming could backfire. I was a bit miffed that I sent one of our members a PM about one his previous posts and didn't get a reply, only to find out a few weeks later that he had been ill and died. Just be sure that before you name and shame there isn't another explanation for his lack of response.
  11. I've tried really hard but there's just something about Jags that stops me from wanting one. And I can't work out what it is....
  12. Serious - my Dad who died suddenly when I was 12. I would like to talk with him as an adult. Silly - Mila Kunis (so I could convince her what great boyfriend material I would be
  13. Exactly, thats why I said he would have been tasered and locked up if it was in the US.... Defo!
  14. Don't agree with the way the hapless officer behaved but the driver comes across as quite argumentative from the outset. I think they both wound each other up.
  15. Begin your search with this at the forefront of your mind: many dealers/some private sellers do not know the difference between the different types of 370Z, so you cannot always rely on how they are referred to in adverts. A car with a GT pack, for example, is sometimes incorrectly referred to as a GT Edition, which is something different entirely. I have also seen a Black 370Z with the GT pack referred to as a Black Edition - again incorrect. As Will says the car in the ad looks like a GT pack with the more up to date connect premium sat nav that appears in 2010+ cars. As far as I know there is the standard coupe, GT Pack (most cars), GT Ultimate (basically GT pack with a few cosmetic extras), Black Edition (includes GT pack and cosmetic extras), GT Edition (the latest version currently on sale) and later this year/next there will be a facelift model and (hopefully) the Nismo. Hope that helps
  16. I haven't seen any for sale as yet.
  17. Not sure but best thing to do is email Brian who supplies the kit. See the link to his site in my op
  18. Agreed. Get a low mileage second hand car. There are GT Editions on Auto Trader.
  19. I'd like to make a plug for this guy - Jackson C Frank. Discovered his music by accident. Only made one record in the late 60s and I think it's one of the most beautiful albums I've ever heard. He apparently influenced a lot of artists including Paul Simon and Nick Drake. Really tragic and interesting life story too -.definitely worth a Google!
  20. I agree. Adding a mod every now and then helps to keep things interesting. Reckon ill be keeping mine for at least another couple of years.
  21. I already did (shame the poor guy only has a few months to live, apparently)
