Most likely. Deffo. Spice channel and private eurmax etx lol. Not sure as Stu's maybe too young for this but could be "Debbie does Dallas".

^^ This. 30K miles on the clock, ...is it even run in yet with that mileage?
-
Most likely.

Don't think so. I just use my laptop to access the forum. If you want to access it via your mobile I believe you can via tapatalk, ....just don't ask me what that is as I don't use it. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/index.php?showtopic=54344

Welcome aboard. Not necessarily easy or cheap to get big power from the Zeds but you can easily & cheaply enough get a bit more power with some of the following mods: Full aftermarket exhaust system HFCs (high flow Cats) or De-Cats Exhaust manifolds (although expensive to do with minimal gains tbh) Plenum spacer (Others are available but like so: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/71728-fs-custom-anodised-plenum-spacers-170-delivered/ ) Performance panel filter (2006 airbox mod if an older DE Zed) ~ Other option is an air induction kit but most agree for performance the panel filter & OEM airbox is the way to go. UpRev (basically a remap like so: http://www.h-dev.co.uk/index2.php?page=350z_mapping ) Fresh oil (you'd be surprised what a difference fresh oil can do over old) & a service. Obviously there is a lot more than that which you can do to these cars for more power but the costs do start to go up dramatically. As standard there is enough power/torque to get your drift on anyway.

Basically just do all the usual secondhand car checks. Eg: Like checking for rust in common areas; exhaust/rear wheel arch wells etc. Make sure all the electrics work; lights, hood, windows etc. Guide for new members/potential owners here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/22880-guide-for-new-memberspotential-buyers/ Buyers guide: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/77426-buyers-guide/ 350Z service schedule (good to take a long when viewing Zeds so you know whether it's been serviced as per the schedule): http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/31110-service-schedule-for-a-350z/ Sure some others will have more tips for you. Good luck with the Zed viewing and welcome aboard.

Has this ever happened to anyone before?
GMballistic replied to Exotic's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Please let us know the runners up Dan. @ Exotic ~ I often have strange dreams & nightmares. Have had dreams in the past where I've crashed cars, been chased by Lions, murdered people and all sorts. As long as you wake up in one piece in the morning and haven't soiled the bed I find it's all good. -
Well that was a proper nasty one. Glad it seemed as if the driver got out ok & just hope nobody was hurt.

Finally I found my Zed. :)
GMballistic replied to Stuggerz's topic in Introductions & Welcome Messages
Looks really good already especially with those alloys. Welcome aboard & enjoy the new ride Stu. -
You're lucky you got a woman at all, ...hard work finding something not sexually explicit or offensive when you start looking on the net for women doing anything. I almost gave up & gave you these two.....

Screen shot it from car ad so not the best pic Thank goodness for that, ...can cancel the eye doctor now then.

Help please, removal of steering wheel hub.
GMballistic replied to welshbuddy's topic in 350Z General
Hhhmmmm, ...£19.99 including postage. Personally I'd get that thing sent back and spend a bit more on a decent make as after all it is an essential part for insuring your Zed doesn't just crash off the road. -

GMballistic replied to welshbuddy's topic in 350Z General
Wouldn't be the first time nor the last that something advertised on eBay didn't fit/work etc for what it was advertised to fit/work for. Buyers protected on eBay so I'd send the hub back for a full refund as it doesn't sound like it's fit for purpose. Good luck with it. -
Nope you're not missing something AFAIK, ...always best to shop around for the cheapest price.

GMballistic replied to welshbuddy's topic in 350Z General
Could be the boss/hub adaptor is wrong maybe welshbuddy. Any pictures of it? what make is it? I have heard the HKB is a good one for the 350Z. Link: http://www.driftwork...shi-subaru.html Guide I found here about aftermarket steering wheel fitment but not sure if it's any help to you.

Looks very nice, ...makes me miss mine even more. Enjoy it.

Looks nice even in that slightly blurry picture. (camera phone I assume otherwise my eyes are finally going ) Hope you enjoy it.

Happy Birthday Andy.

Exactly what I was going to suggest. Epoxy would give you a better hold on it than superglue but as long as its not overly tight both ways should work. Another option would be to drill a small hole (say maybe 2mm) down the middle of the snapped part. Then screw in a self tapping screw with a small amount of superglue/epoxy on that. Once its set hard then unscrew the self tapping screw which should bring out the remaining part of the aerial bolt with it. Bit of a more long winded way of doing Davectr's initial suggestion basically.

That is definitely the worst condition W-brace I've seen on a 350 Willow. Usually the cheap option that most people can do is remove it, clean the rust off and "Hammerite" paint over it but yours definitely needs binning asap before it falls off in the road, ...could be especially bad if it comes off and hits another car. You could try zmanalex on here for a pre-owned W-brace which is the cheapest option. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/user/9648-zmanalex/ Your next option and imo the best option is to get an aftermarket W-brace as it will be cheaper than getting a Nissan OEM replacement. This is the one I usually recommend to people on here and everyone I know has been more than happy with it. Link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ultra-Racing-Rear-Lower-Brace-Nissan-350Z-3-5-2003-RL4-1259-/271339756751?hash=item3f2d1c1ccf If you don't like or want it though then I believe the Cougar Store or Clark Motorsport on here can both get you the OEM W-brace. Other traders may be able to as well but they are just the two I know who definitely should be able to although if memory serves it's around the £200 mark for the OEM one. Good luck.

@ ChrisB ~ RIP to your little matey Scrap.

The Zed Shed Part Deux Build still going
GMballistic replied to Keyser's topic in Off Topic Discussion
You're in then? Me too. Moved in start of September ZEUS hence why I've been AWOL. Was pouring some concrete myself today in my new garage sorting out some things, ...did think at 30kg of concrete that I'd done a lot today. Till I saw what Chris had been up to. Great work Keyser. -
Not bad, ...not bad at all.
