  1. For uploading pictures on here you really are best off using Photobucket. Link (free to join & use): http://s273.photobucket.com/ Guide on how to post Photobucket pictures on here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/53047-how-to-post-pictures-via-photobucket/ Usually the locking wheel nut keys are specific to the set you have so you really need to know the set you have to source a replacement in most cases. If you need a new set of locking wheel nuts &/or key then there are traders on here that may be able to help you out. Like Mitz@the Cougar Store or Chris@ Tarmac Sportz. Do you have anything in the cars history like a receipt for the locking wheel nuts or old packaging? If you do it may tell you a serial number for the key in order to get the correct replacement. Not a lot of help I know sorry but it's something. I'd try a PM to Mitz at the Cougar Store to see if he can advise you better.
  2. ^^ More cool additions then. What a car already and it's just getting better.
  3. No problem. Remember though they are older cars now so that sort of mileage is probably fairly average miles for the age. Mine's a 2003 and has 92K odd miles on it so that one being a 2006 has obviously been driven more than mine but still it's only approx 10K miles a year. Not really a problem though as long as it has been looked after & serviced correctly through it's time on the roads. Understand though that there are lower mileage examples out there within that price range/age range (2006) so good look with the search.
  4. ^^ Gorgeous. Mind you, ...you could probably show me a picture of the boot on this car and I'd love that just as much. Currently my car crush.
  5. Very nice Will. My old man has had loads of BMW's and infact his last one before the one he has now was a 55plate 330Ci M sport coupe so I know how good they are. Enjoy it.
  6. Think we've missed the opportunity to end it quickly via those means now unfortunately Will. These groups are becoming so widespread in their hatred that you'd have to nuke most of the world to eradicate them completely.
  7. How do I join this Bank then? Sounds like it has some good benefits. Hope he's enjoying his Zed then.
  8. Knew something this good wouldn't hang around long.
  9. I'd definitely go for the Ferodo DS2500 pads over the EBC's every time.
  10. My experience of Paisley Freight was terrible as they (the courier) never turned up on the day arranged so I lost a day's holiday. Re-arranged collection with my old man waiting in for them this time & again they didn't show. Third time was the charm however they (TNT courier) didn't turn up till 6pm so again I wasted another days holiday waiting in for them. If you search the net they have more bad reviews than good & I'm inclined to agree with the majority that this is one company to be avoided as there are much better alternatives imo. Source: http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/paisley-freight-paisley More bad reviews: http://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/Alloy-Wheel-Courier-DONT-use-Paisley-Freight-Services-/10000000010942750/g.html http://forum.ctc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=85757 ^^ That's just a few from the first page of google when you search for "Paisley Freight" ~ bearing in mind the first few things on the page are ads/sites for the company itself so you can see how bad they are. Don't get that from decent couriers like UPS or TNT direct.
  11. You going for standard fans? You could PM zmanalex for good quality used working fan motors (cheapest option) or get new OEM fan motors from Clark Motorsport or get what most people do which is the Mishimoto fan shroud kit (cheaper than OEM & a good upgrade) also available from Clark Motorsport as well as a few other traders on here.

  12. Looks great. Is that first picture been "tweaked" a little though? just something about the colours in it. Zed look's great still though either way.
  13. Lol. You're never seeing that again is my bet. Well done Keyser and enjoy the improved ride Harry.
  14. Welcome aboard. Your Zed looks great and nice seeing it being used as it should be on track.
  15. Welcome aboard. I run EBC turbo grooved discs with Ferodo DS2500 pads which is a great fast road/light track use setup imo that doesn't cost the earth.

  16. Try zmanalex to see if he can help: http://www.350z-uk.com/user/9648-zmanalex/ Or failing that check the "for sale" section on here for members/traders who are breaking Zeds to see if they can help (like R35LEE/RS Shades etc).
  17. Not done it myself but some info in here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/88848-removal-of-radiator-cooling-fans-without-removing-the-radiator/ Also maybe worth sending a PM to the OP in the link I provided you with (post number 7) regarding the fan motor repair to see if they can give you any help.
  18. I use Falken 453's on my Zed which are a good mid range budget tyre. Have you tried looking at Black Circles or similar tyre site? That way you can enter the size of tyre you are after and see all the different options & prices. Remember though it is important to have the correct load index tyres for the Zed as it's a heavy car (100Y I think).
  19. +1. By the time the "oil warning" light comes on it's usually far too late. Best to check the oil at least every two weeks imo or more often if you're doing more miles (I only do around 50-90 miles per week). Weekly is a good habit to follow.
