New 60 MPH Motorway Speed Limits to be Introduced.
Stutopia replied to WhackyWill's topic in Off Topic Discussion
The battery thing should be simples. Just make them universal across all makes and model and then when you stop at the "petrol station" they pop your old ones out and your new ones in. 5 minute job. -
along, good to see another NW member. Great Zed http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/75-north-west/

New 60 MPH Motorway Speed Limits to be Introduced.
Stutopia replied to WhackyWill's topic in Off Topic Discussion
If they want to ease congestion and improve air quality, they should spend some money on train tracks and trains, then shift a load of freight on to the rail network. Half-arsed ideas like this don't provide any alternatives, just punishment for road users. The problems don't go away by taxing people or changing limits, they need to give people a sensible, punctual, properly priced alternative to driving and they'll find the people who don't really enjoy driving will soon shift off the roads. Bit more carrot and a bit less stick. -
Mine's gunmetal (not miles off silver) and I went for red. Just the other day though I had to have a short length of blue hose installed to replace a hose. Now I'm certain that blue is a better colour than red IMHO, so certain I'm thinking of ripping out all my red!

Don't summit do a whole load of bracing upgrades for under the Zed? Not sure if they do a straightforward, direct replacement for the w brace, but I'm sure I've read good stuff on here about their bracing(was it one of Dan's mods?).

I'm far from a pressure washer expert, but I think your choice of foam lance will have as much, if not more, impact on your snow foaming than the choice of pressure washer. I got one of these which is great and can work with a multitude of fittings. http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/pa-foam-lance-cat2.html Shows comparability on the page.

Ahhhhh thats interesting, thats one of the models i was looking at!! how much did you pay for it? and hows the performance compared with the oem system? can you post a pickie of it in the car?? Here you go bud, pic of the unit installed, chavtastic background image is optional I paid £465 for the work, not sure how much of that was headunit, adapter for steering controls, fascia panel, iPhone cable and labour - but that was about a year ago now, I bet you could get the headunit on its own for about £250-£300 Performance is hard for me to say as I only had the OEM for about a fortnight before ripping it out, couldn't live with no iPhone connection for my music or lack of bluetooth. Also, shortly after I replaced the headunit I also had the amp, sub, front and rear speakers replaced. So I couldn't say how much was just down to the headunit, but for me to have done the extra work so quickly afterward I can't have been that happy with the sound (the functionality was a massive step up though, I can say that). As a general rule of thumb in audio, your system is only as good as your weakest component, so if you just did the headunit I would expect an improvement, but not massive as the bose amp, sub and speakers will still be holding you back. Also when you spend money on audio you WANT it to sound better so generally you convince yourself it does In terms of the whole setup versus OEM, I can promise you it's night and day, but the Hertz amp and speakers are a huge factor in that. Thanks buddy Great taste in music nothing wrong with a bit of stone roses (with a little RATM thrown in too!!) My first pic had Xanadu on repeat so I switched it around for the second photo.

Picked up my newly painted rays from Lepsons today
Stutopia replied to AKVai's topic in 350Z General
They looks sweet! Do 370 Rays go straight on to a 350? -
I recently ordered some stuff from the US and they had some DVD copies in stock, picked a couple up as they were cheap, one for me and one for the car. Great little promo for the Zed.

I was tempted to pop the trim off and push it out, but where it's cracked at the top I'm worried the paint will just go nuts. Then I'll be the d!ckhead instead of the POS that did the damage. I'll have look for a local dent master.

My old man's Zafira was parked in my usual spot last night and some tiny brained, tiny todgered tool has put a boot print in the tailgate. As you can see from the pics they've put a sizeable dent in there and paint is cracked at the top, just below the rear window. There's no CCTV nearby so that's a dead end sadly, you can only hope that karma works its way around in time and the idiots balls drop off. You reckon this could be pulled? Then a smart repair to the paint? Or find a breaker tailgate (they should be pretty common yeah?) He's not too keen on splashing out on an insurance claim or a brad new tailgate, and he'll probably keep the car until it stops running, so it doesn't need to look perfect, just be presentable and stop any rust. Open to suggestions, thanks.

Great start for a collection, looks great and you can be safe that you'll never bump into Mickey Mouse wearing a Jay M1988 watch

That's nice, very close to the submariner of my dreams.

Mine are a bit scratched up. Could I get away with hitting them with a DA to liven them up a little?

It's not the flashiest looking, nor the best brand, but I love my Seiko Kinetic Titanium, it's dressy enough for smart, understated enough for everyday, and it takes knock and bangs like a champ. I never leave home without it. Sensibly priced too. http://www.firstclasswatches.co.uk/seiko-gents-kinetic-titanium-ska214p1-p-584.html I'd love a Rolex Submariner one day.

Amazon pricing too clever for its own good?
Stutopia replied to stanski's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Their pricing since the lovefilm takeover which now covers the lovefilm/amazon prime/amazon instant video 3-for-1 deal is too clever for me! -
I made a teenager's head explode at a dealer by asking for the plastic cap that covers the seat anchor bolt. After they replaced him with a new drone it took them a week to source!

Can you also geo fence with them now? In case it wanders out of your postcode in the middle of the night, or an enthusiastic garage technician feels the need to "test drive" it when you've left it with them.

Cheapest by a mile for me, I had no NCB though as hadn't owned a car for years, so the 10 month plan was a win. Even with the 10 months, pro rata'd up they won. Decent about mods too.

It's a very valid point, particularly on the resistive rather than capacitive touchscreen. Mine is a bit laggy when you compare it to say an iPhone or iPad. It's quite quick when compared to an android phone though Definitely try them if this will be a PITA for you.

Extremely easy, I asked a tech to do it when it was in for another job At the time as I was too scared to take the bumper off alone, as I didn't want to drop it and scratch it on my drive. I've since "loosened" the bumper on my own when I did the reverse cam install, and it wasn't as bad as I'd feared. A second pair of hands might be useful or simply just putting something on the deck so that if you do drop it, it doesn't get scratched. I think I used this guide: http://www.350z-tech.com/wiki/index.php?title=Rear_Bumper_Removal Make sure you've definitely got your bulbs sorted or any LED upgrades your doing beforehand as it's not something I'd want to do alone more times than is necessary. Usual disclaimers apply, it's all your own fault etc etc.
