Should I be concerned that I have no idea what any of you are going on about?

Sounds like an air raid

It's great we have so many people on here who appreciate animals. I've been watching quite a few "Animal Cops (Michigan...Houston etc)" episodes on Sky recently. It amazes me how cruel and stupid some people can be e.g. people who get a dog, chain it up in the yard and leave it for so long that the chain gets embedded in the poor animal's skin. What makes the programme's bearable is to see how happy and healthy the animals end up when they go to a good home.

I don't do much driving around rush hour as my Z only gets driven for pleasure, but when I had a new set of tyres put on the last car I had the misfortune of finding myself driving amonst the 'dropping the little cherubs off at school brigage' in Twickenham (middle class children apparently can't use their legs anymore and have to be driven everywhere). Good Grief! They are some seriously bad and aggressive drivers, not least the crazy cow who decided she couldn't wait the half a second it would have taken to let my hefty and very visible car with its headlights on drive down the road and decided to cut right across me to turn right, nearly slicing the nose off the Z and causing me to have to slam the brakes on (and the horn). It's probaby the only time I've been tempted to follow someone and tell them exactly what I think of their driving. I'm glad I didn't - probably would have lost my rag and said or did something I'd end up regretting later. I'm also glad I don't have to experience the school run around our way every day - it's like a scene from Mad Max!

No need to leave forum mate. Plenty of people on here who no longer have a Z. Why not stick around

Apologies, my bad I thought they were the same No need for apologies dude!

Welcome back

There's no USB in the 09. I used to have one. Instead, there's a single analogue connection which can be used to connect an Ipod via a lead going from the headphone jack on the Ipod.

As above, you won't get that sound on a Z. Have you considered adding high flow cats to the stock exhaust? Might be an option if you find most of the exhausts available for the Z are too deep sounding for you.

Yup. Probably just need to ease off on the amount of wax and use some elbow grease to get rid of the smearing.

I think (but not sure) 09 doesn't have DVD playback. For those that do, apparently, there's a bypass kit which removes the block that only allows you to watch while parked. But you'd have to be properly stupid to watch a DVD while driving!

Repellent, repellant, repugnant, revolting....I could go on....

Cute cat

Well I guess we need people to buy new cars otherwise there'd be no second hand market. I like the F Type but on pure looks alone I prefer..... http://www.extravaganzi.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Maserati-GranTurismo-S-Limited-Edition-2.jpg

Might want to consider the new Cobra HFCs. I have a set and I'm very happy with them. Apparently they're designed to reduce the chance of MOT failures compared to the Berks I'm not sure when they're officially being released but you could contact Cobra direct for info. Mark at Abbey also knows about them ( they fitted mine). My car has just had it's first MOT and no problem with emisions and that's with Berk/Akrapovic combo. Good to hear. I'm not trying to worry anyone with the Berks by the way.. I was just told the Cobras reduced what I'm assuming is already a fairly small risk of an MOT issue.

Repellent. Don't know why but I almost never prefer the look of aftermarket wheels on a 370.

When we first took the Nismo out for a drive to a pub in Sussex (Stag at Balls Cross to be precise - which is v nice pub!), the landlady, who likes her cars, looked at it through the window and said to a guy at the bar - Ooh nice I think it's a Porsche. I was proud to tell her it's a Nissan

I had a few comments like that from work mates before they actually saw the car and then when they did they suddenly changed their tune. To me a hairdressers car has always been something convertible with not much go. Like a KA convertible, MX5 or Porsche Boxster?! Basically cars which are convertible and don't have enough power to make them true performance cars. Although in saying that the MX5 isn't a bad car nor the Porsche. I did loose track in the end of the positive comments the zed got. Everyone from kids shouting out "nice car mister" as I drove past, Mister? Were you driving through the 19th century? :lol:

Second that. If people on here can't answer a Z related question, nobody can!

It's my recognition of my own limited ability that would keep me well away from a track. I'd probably go so slowly that it wouldn't be worth the bother

I had the kit from the guy in the US on my previous 370 as it didn't come with a reversing camera as standard. It was a really good kit - the picture was great. If we can get someone supplying something similar over here I think there would be quite a few takers.

At least you have a drive. My Z has to live on the street and it's like musical chairs trying to get the space outside the house

You must mean just the 350s though Ekona, surely! Considering all the unflattering things you say about the 370 I'd hate to see the sort of 'wave' you give them. I'm guessing the two fingered variety

Not keen on wraps to be honest but if you're gonna do it I also vote for matt white. Might as well take the opportunity to make it look a bit different
