That's just weird. -
Walk away. I left BT years ago and have never looked back. Currently on Virgin fibre optic and not had an issue since joining about 8 years ago. If it's started this bad its a taste of things to come......

If it helps, the Nissan code for Quartz is KAV.

Probably not a popular thing to say on here but I really don't like silver or grey cars. I reckon a sports car should stand out. Go for something bright! Alternatively, as said above, the Quartz colour from the 370Z Black Edition is great if you prefer the stealthy look. (Yes it could described as a sort of grey but it has a real depth and uniqueness to it)
-
Yup. It's all in the marketing
-
The version for white cars works well too.

:p :p Quite the opposite! We saw the Black Edition advertised, it's not too far from us, but she doesn't like the red leather! Saw the 2 blues, 1 has too many miles and the other is in Ireland. We're going to look at a white Nismo next weekend if it's not sold by then. Failing that possibly a trip over the pond to see the low mileage blue one. Oh the joys of car hunting!! My Nismo was an ex demo with less than 2000 miles on it and it's been great. Bear in mind that even if you get a Nismo the exhaust note is still fairly tame; it's better than the standard car's exhaust but not sufficient for such a distinctive looking car. Budget roughly a grand for a relplacement and another £400-£500 if you want to add high flow cats, then a further £400 for an uprev (which has made a big difference to throttle response o mine). Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about the 2013/14 Nismo. (I definitely recommend it!). Do you have a sound clip? Only a start up I'm afraid - shortly after installation of the Stillen CBE and Cobra HFCs. Works well for me - fairly civilised to about 3000 rpm but then quite shouty and a nice growl on downshifts http://vid1294.photobucket.com/albums/b617/sipar69/IMG_0051_zps6f192cb4.mp4 -
I wish . I think my post was a bit misleading - by second 370Z I meant the second of three I've had, but not at the same time sadly. I traded the Black Edition in for the Nismo. The Nismo is white, which I do like a lot, but the 'Quartz' colour on the Black Edition remains my favourite colour on the 370.

I have often imagined how good the Nismo would look in that colour.

Colour of my second 370. Gorgeous colour that changed shades depending on the light.....Not to be mistaken with Gun Metal - it was a unique shade with a hint of purple in certain lights...

I've tried quite a few of these types of products and this is my favourite so far: Poorboys Natural Look Dressing. http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/poorboys-natural-look-dressing-cat21.html

Shame he didn't demonstrate the indicators though
-
Have to agree. I want to like it, but there's just too much going on, too many angles etc.
-
Some rare photographs from history (Pt 2).

Great pics. Jet looks like a Lightening. -
Sure you've seen my old build thread (it's in my signature) so you'd have known if it was my old Zed I'd have thought. If you removed the indicators, it was definitely yours
-
Didn't see the reg bud, just the duff driving
-
Gunmetal 350Z A3 towards London. Shot out of the slip road (no indicator) straight across three lanes into the right hand lane (no indicator), took off at licence losing speed and then cut back across on to the M25 in the same way.

Most hunted animal on Earth now apparently.... Pangolin - you can buy a bag of the scales in East Asian markets.

100% With you on all points.

To be fair Stevo I think I misread your original post re the trajedy point - I understood what you were trying to say when I read it properly. Guess the only difference about the car comparison is we don't have to hurt something to get our kicks
-
Its funny how we react as human beings isnt it. and the Paul walker point is a good one or all celebrity and like you say people die on a regular on the roads, But......... Paul walker contributed to something i know of and enjoy so his passing was a message of that will no longer exist, The difference is like i was having this discussion with my parents the Vast majority of the people on social media etc loosing there @*!# over it had never heard of this lion before untill it was was shown on BBC news where as millions of people have heard of walker or any other celeb for years and have appreciated there work. But yea like you say there will be people on widelife forums that have followed the movements of Cecil and it will be the same for them as it was for members of the car community felt regarding walker and for them its truly is saddening, But there was people on this forum going i cant see what the fuss with walker was and as you said there point was people die daily why should this person get the news but when questioned alot of people was not aware of his ROWW foundation etc they just say him as an overpaid actor in something they detested, i guess ignorance is bliss, But the news seems to be with cecil more based around the protesting and and this man than the actual lion itself Its not Tragic news cecil the lion is no more Its this murderer killed a lion its to focused on the hunter, than the hunted. I agree with most of this Stevo. For whatever reason, some people do feel incredibly strongly about cruelty to animals. Perhaps it's because they are by nature innocent. I read somewhere once that we are biologically predisposed to favour "cute" animals and that there is something about the shape of the feline face that appeals to people. It's funny - Lions are apex predators, but also quite cute I think to stick an arrow in that poor creature and for it to die in pain (and presumably fear) was horrible, as much for what it says about human nature as anything else. I don't get how killing an amazing animal can be an enjoyable act. Not exactly a fair fight either. Dentist v Lion in a field with no weapons would be fine by me! For the record - I thought it was a real shame when Paul Walker died. From what I saw and read of him, he seemed like a good bloke.

It's not exactly "news" that the media hypes stories that could be considered trivial in the grand scheme of things. I, for example, couldn't care less that Prince William and Kate Middleton have had/are having a kid or that she had bad morning sickness. I don't care about the Royals and I don't care about babies, but it was still splashed all of over the TV and newspapers for days when much more important things are happening. This is a car forum so when the guy from the Fast and Furious films died I don't remember anyone saying it was trivial and not deserving of attention because thousands of people die on the roads every single day. I imagine on a forum about wildlife or conservation this wouldn't be considered trivial - not least becasue there is a much wider issue that we are starting to poach and hunt some species to the brink of extinction, which is far more important news IMO than the death of a celebrity who happened to be in some films about cars, or the fact that a person born with a silver spoon in her mouth has exercised a biological function and given birth to a brat.

Almost looked as though he'd never driven one before and had no idea how to control it. Poor car.
