  1. As others have said above, it's probably not a problem if the car hasn't been thrashed on a daily basis. It's probably not a problem even if it has. Who knows ? Thing is, if you have any doubts in your mind just walk away from it. There are plenty of Z's out there. However, it doesn't matter what you end up buying, you will never know how its been driven or what fuel has been used. It's all a gamble buying a 2nd hand car but most of us will only ever be able to do that due to new car prices. In fairness to the seller, at least he was honest. I bought my Z from a very reputable 'Lotus' dealership and part of the deal was that they threw in a full tank of fuel. I bet they didn't put V-Power in it. I only ever use high octane fuel but thats only because of the scare mongering that goes on. For all i know the original owner could have run it on premium unleaded sine day one
  2. Don't worry you're not going crazy. Mine on the 350z do this aswell. Its on the topside of the blade so doesn't affect the performance of the wiper but looks pants. I have no idea what causes it. At first i thought it was just polish that i may have splashed onto them when getting a bit over enthusiastic but then i noticed it when i hadn't polished the car. Its a weird one. I have these wipers on other cars too but don't get the same problem ???
  3. Hey SteveM. Where did you get your boot spoiler from ? I need one just like it as i want something subtle. Is it a good fit etc. Regards, RXS
  4. In fairness i think that standard cars will be worth more than modded ones. There aren't many classics about that are worth more in modded form than they are in standard trim. Its a double edged sword. Its nice to personalize your car and make it your own but when you come to sell it you normally strip all the bits off to sell seperately because it doesn't increase the selling price if you leave them on. Like someone said above, the Z will probably take another 20 years to be worth strong money anyways, so lets just enjoy and look after them in the present wether that be in standard or modded form
  5. I'm with you sasha. Thats definately 53mm.
  6. This is disgusting. On one hand Nissan are admitting that the discs are not fit for purpose due to being below the minimum thickness but on the other they won't offer replacement. Go figure??? I'm not sure if its just Nissan in general but their service and aftersales care is appalling. They are all smiles when taking your money from you but when you want something in return they are nowhere to be seen. It's happening more and more these days too. This country is all messed up I wish you the best of luck with this one.
  7. Hi, I already asked the question as i fancied a set of these. The seller stated they are for the american market and therefore 'beam correction' would be required. Would be nice if it said that in the add
  8. To ATTAKZ. How do the 'sunsport' grills fit ? Do they fit over the existing grill or do you have to remove it ? Regards, RXS
  9. I must say, i bought my Z in October last year and was undecided about it. The weather between October to now had been pants and i had only done relatively short runs in it. I was in love with its looks but on the fence regarding its performance. During this week i had a full service and when i got it back i gave it the clean and detailing session of its life. Me and my better half then took it out today and did 230 miles from Warwickshire along the M1, dropped onto the A50 and A6 into Derbyshire, through to Matlock, Bakewell, Buxton, along the Cat and Fiddle to Macclesfield, back along the A523 to Leek, back into Derbyshire and then headed down the A50 into Leicestershire and back down the M1 to Warwickshire. The sun was shining and the roof was down for the majority of the drive. We took in all manner of roads and i can only say, the Z now makes perfect sense to me and the more i drove it, the better it felt. I was even so happy i let the Mrs drive it. She loved it too. Keep it, Treat it to something new, Drive it and fall in love again
  10. I personally think that looks awesome. So much so, that i need one of those grills in my life. Where did you get it from, if you don't mind me asking ?? Regards RXS
  11. Hi there. Stunning looking Z. Do you polish by hand or do you use a polishing machine ? If you have done that by hand thats a superb finish you have achieved. I'm off to frantically search for some dodo juice purple haze wax now

    The front tyre in the close up pic is an 'accelera'. I think these are the lower priced end of the scale for a larger company but i can't think who they are now ??? They are pretty good in the dry but questionable in the wet. If you have these on the rear aswell it may well be worth swopping them out as soon as you have the budget to do it. I know thats easier said than done and its a shame because they have decent tread on them but i'm just thinking of your safety and you wouldn't want to put a dink in that lovely looking Z
