Locked as requested. Edit: Oh & sorry about your bad luck Stuart.

Very, very rarely go to a pub anymore. Maybe once a year. Drink at home or at relatives/friends houses.

Just had to Google "Peroni" to see what it was, ...I mean I guessed it was a drink but had just never heard of that. I usually end up drinking Budweiser but bought Becks yesterday for a change. Might have to give Peroni a try if I can find any.

Poor thing, ...looks like it is having a fit.

Okay then Rob that's good to read, ...front washer pump is the cheapest of the lot & is fairly easy to replace as well. Clark Motorsport are your best bet for this part (cheapest I know of): http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/207-clark-motorsport/ On their website: http://www.clarkmotorsport.co.uk/parts/Windscreen-Washer-Pump/488700010 And here is a short guide on how to change it: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/59243-how-to-change-washer-pump-motor/

You're most welcome.

Abbey & others I believe do use ECUtek on the 370Z but from what I've heard the UpRev is available for the 370Z but is just not used by some as their preference is the ECUtek. So the UpRev is available for the 370Z and might be more preferential once the changes/upgrades to the software happen.

Loving the OEM mirrors with the indicators in them. That is a very cool mod indeed.

Could be, ...have you seen this thread relating to the upcoming UpRev changes/upgrades: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/109157-uprev-upgrades-350z-370z/#entry1632900

^^ Few members with those so depending on your location you might be able to find a member willing to let you have a listen to theirs before you buy. From what I've heard it is a very good system. Remember to shop around for the best price from the traders on here & keep an eye out for any "group buys" too. Like this one which was being run by Adrian@TORQEN (deadline has passed but worth a PM as he does ask in the last post if anyone else is interested): http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/105512-torqen-ark-group-buy-15-discount-on-all-ark-exhausts/page__st__80

That was actually Sam Mcgoo's Zed. His was 442Bhp@fly & mine was 436Bhp@fly so I'm pretty sure mine would have done something similar, although I never really liked wasting fuel like that so never properly tried, ...mine did pop & bang nicely quite a few times when I was driving it hard though.

I know of one Zed that spitted flames very nicely...

Took me awhile to find this but I think we might be getting somewhere. It sounds like the washer fuse will be in the most awkward of the 3 fuse boxes I'm afraid. It's the one just slightly under the scuttle panel near the battery according to info in the thread below. This thread: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/71948-where-is-the-washer-jet-fuses/ Sorry as I said I don't have my Zed anymore so if I did I would have just checked for you in the first place. I hope that's it.

Looking at it in the pictures it is a DE RevUp model (2006) with a few mods. I checked the reg and it is MOT'd till 15th Sept this year & is taxed (although not transferable) so that's good to know for any potential buyer although the MOT isn't very long. Some of the pictures though are very deceiving as they must have been taken before the mods were done. Some show it with rather tidy standard Rays whilst other show it with white painted Rays. The rear lights also go from a nice OEM look to dark tinted black as do the rear indicators/fog & reverse lights. Also has a drifter style steering wheel (so there goes cruise control & the stereo controls ) oh and a blue dildo as a gear knob. Still could be a bargain for someone providing it runs ok, has the service history he claims and doesn't burn through oil.

Hhhhmm, is yours a UK Zed or JDM? What's the year etc? And again do you have a car manual from when you bought the car?

Olly do you have a budget for what you could spend on your exhaust system? Bear in mind you could always sell your old one once removed for a bit of "cash back" or keep it to put back on in the future if you sold the Zed & get some "cash back" again then. The Invidia N1 back boxes have a "similar" look imo to a Tomei one albeit without the blued tips. That is around the £700 mark, is all stainless steel and would attach to your standard Y-pipe. Plenty of other options though depending on your budget and plenty of traders on here that could do you a great deal.

If I still had my Zed I would check for you. Does it have a sticker on it (as below) on the fuse box lid in the drivers footwell? ...if so have you checked the fuse marked "Washer"? There are 3 fuse boxes on the 350Z and if it's not in the drivers footwell then my second bet would be the fuse box in the engine bay in front of the car battery. Locations are in this thread for you here: http://www.350z-uk.c...-box-locations/ Oh and welcome aboard.

That is single handedly the worst advert for a car I have ever seen.

I believe the fuse for the windscreen washers is in the drivers footwell fuse box. I can't be 100% certain of that though as I have sold my Zed, ...if you have the manual for the car though it will be in that. Just look at the index in the back for fuse locations.

What exhaust is it do you know? For an example: With the Invidia Gemini true dual exhaust system that I used to own it's quite a common thing for some people/garages to incorrectly fit the drivers side pipe at the rear. Basically instead of going over the top of the anti-roll bar they put it below so it hangs down too low & causes a low clearance issue like you mention. Picture below of how it should be fitted circle in red (on my old Zed)... Picture below of an incorrectly fitted Invidia Gemini... It's simple to fix that if that is your issue: just unbolt, alter position and pass it over the anti-roll bar. Re-bolt up & job done.

Emissions aren't an issue, it's the drone on motorways and also the sub-3000 revs looking like a bit of a knob that I'm glad to have lost! My Zed was a DE (also FI) but I never had any drone from my Invidia/Berks De-Cats system set up imo. I wouldn't say it was too loud below 3K rpm either really although everybody hears things differently. I did however break the noise restrictions at Castle Combe once or twice when at the top of the rev range on full WOT at my last track day.

Some interesting colours I like from a quick google search just to give you some more ideas.... An example below of "Chameleon" paint (also available as a wrap)

So basically you want to run a Motordyne Y-pipe, straight centre (no silencers) & then have it somehow branch off into two Tomei backboxes? I don't think I've seen a Zed with that attempted. Your best bet imo is getting somewhere like Longlife exhausts to fabricate you the exhaust split near the rear onto the separate Tomei backboxes. Should look good imo but maybe worth considering just getting a setup with twin pipes to start with unless you really specifically want to go down this route. Good luck though.

I've always liked the duckbill type spoilers especially the Ings one as below... Always going to be personal preference though with this type of thing.

That's great GreenLandy. If you're not worried about the MOT emissions test then definitely get some Berks De-Cats or similar on there, ...will turn that Invidia exhaust system into a real howler.
