My experience with cameras is a little behind the times to be honest as I took most of my pictures back in the day (1990-2000's+) with my old Minolta SLR 35mm camera but some things should be the same I'd guess. When taking pictures in dark surroundings with lights around (like traffic lights, building lights, moving cars etc) then if you want a really cool effect you can't beat "light trails" imo. As below... To do this you will need to set your camera up in position on a tripod firstly. Then with your camera set in "manual" mode set it to a long exposure setting (shutter speed open for longer) and adjust the "F" value to a higher setting (13-14 ish). You may need to play around to see what looks best and if possible use a remote control for the camera for taking the picture to avoid any camera shake. I searched Youtube just quickly to see if there was a video which explained it better. This is what I found... Hope that helps.

Great stuff Russ. Will be watching that later tonight whilst the Mrs watches some TV.

^^ Amazing speed Snjur, ....but f*** trying to take a picture at that speed! Be safe.

Lovely colour Zed Gibby. Also noticed in the Photobucket link pictures of your dog, ...cute little bugger. Maybe add him to the "Pets" thread. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/25215-the-350z-uk-pet-thread/page__st__1460

Sounds good to me colesl4w.

Just caught this thread. Very nice BM Joe. The back end on those looks fantastic.

Not sure if serious, ...but just in case you're it's a 182 Clio by the looks of it. Guessing it's Dans old one tbh.

Didn't notice that when I topped up my oil, but the two times I've filled with petrol there is a whoosh from vacuum in the petrol tank? Perfectly normal. @colesl4w, Re: Oil cap overly tight ~ Had that on my Zed a few times & on one occasion had to use a hammer just to get it to move. Just don't screw it back on too tight & it'll be fine.

I actually loved it and was sad to see it go. But was only my second car so didn't have much comparison. VTEC ftw The FN2 CTR isn't a bad car just sadly for me I felt it was a bit lacking as a drivers car. Great engine no doubt but I just felt it didn't handle all that well through corners at speed. Definitely wasn't as good as my previous CTR I'd had some years earlier which was the EP3 version which had much better handling imo. My old FN2: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/100029-my-supercharged-zeds-replacement/ Enjoy your Zed.

Welcome aboard Dally. Great looking Zed and not surprised that you're blown away coming from an FN2, ...I wasn't overly impressed with mine when I had it tbh although definitely one of the best 2 Ltr NA engines in any car ~ love VTEC.

After my experience with my96 classic JDM Subaru Impreza WRX and my mates Impreza plus countless people I met/spoke to from Scoobynet some years ago I'd have to disagree with that completely. Exactly Dan. Stick to stock (ish) power levels, service correctly & I have heard they can be very reliable cars.

Yeah well good luck with that Flex. It's not the 1920's anymore. If it all goes t**s up with the sort of missiles & WMD's of today you're going to need more than a corrugated pig pen covered with a few inches of soil on top.

Reading the Youtube comments apparently the owner now has a big brake kit. If you listen it is definitely a boosted Zed, ...whether it's a single turbo or twin turbo is irrelevant imo as it will still be fairly quick either way especially compared to a standard Zed. I'm not one for doing much in the way of styling, bling etc to my cars as I prefer performance and handling mods although I do actually quite like parts of that Zed. I mean the colour is superb and I think the alloys go really well with the wide arches of the Rocket Bunny kit. Don't like the steering wheel, gear stick knob or ridiculous rear wing which wobbled around as he was driving but each to their own in that respect.

Moved both your threads as they should have been in the "wanted" section. You might want to try two of our registered traders for these items fyi. Emperor Tuning: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/232-emperor-tuning/ Zmanalex: http://www.350z-uk.com/user/9648-zmanalex/ You can send them a PM (private message) to ask them for the parts. Good luck & welcome aboard.

Another benefit of dipping over wrapping is that it is much harder wearing & less likely to get marked. Have a look at the thread below Luke from when I had my interior dipped. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/86048-hydro-dipped-interior-parts-door-pulls-grab-handle/ It's a very popular option and lots of other members have also gone this route. Another benefit is the multitude of choices available, ...everything from carbon fibre to flames to chequered plate & more. Two Professional traders on here that will be able to tell you more & quote you for any work.

I would be sympathetic but I think it's the price you pay for having some of the best scenery & roads to drive on. Hopefully these "bumps" will bring this thread to the attention of someone who may be able to give you a paint code. Good luck.

I don't think they make a scale for it do they? Shall we say the scale runs from 1-10 where 1 is Eric Bana (not very annoying imo), 5 is say Colin Firth and 10 is Chris Evans (super f**king annoying imo). I'd say that guy was an 8.5.

Paintwork looks good from here. Enjoy.

If you're just after the same colour then why not just visit a wheel refurb specialist for a quote & I'm sure they'll be able to do a colour match.

Let us know once you've got payment from marzman then G1en & we can lock this.

Looks good in the sun but I definitely think that beading shot shows off the true beauty of that colour the best.

S14 looks pretty nice. Welcome aboard & enjoy the Zed.

Great weather for the roadster owners for sure, ...enjoy it while you can.
