If you hover your cursor arrow over the Ops username (Jimmy) you'll see a few things pop up including the "send message" icon. If you click on it you can send him a PM (private message) which he will receive on here but also on his private email account. Should get you a quicker response that way. Welcome aboard btw.

Definitely agree with you there. I really like my current car the S3 but it sounds absolutely rubbish when compared to my old Zed.

You could try giving one of the professional traders a ring. Like the Cougar Store, Horsham Developments, Torqen, Tarmac Sportz, Clark Motorsport etc just to name a few. Just had a look on CMS website and there is only one listing for the 370Z... Link: http://www.clarkmotorsport.net/parts/Drive-Belt/114722

Yep lot's of times unfortunately. The two worst times: once when I was looking for a Toyota Starlet Glanza Turbo and the other time a Toyota GT4. Traveled to see at least 4 or 5 cars of each of those marks and every time it was a waste of time. Made worse when I was looking for the GT4 as my Dad was chauffeuring me around so he wasn't f***in' happy either. Oh and there was also the time just recently when I drove up to North Yorkshire & back in a day (8hr round trip) to see a "mint" R33 GTR at a garage. Didn't look too bad but the gearbox/clutch/synchros were in a terrible state, ...couldn't even get it into first gear so didn't even bother test driving it. The guy told me over the phone that it was a new import in perfect order. BS. The joys of car hunting.

it's one hell of a machine I'm sure but I agree with Jetpilot as I think £80K is a bit much. Would rather an older GTR and some change.

That's more than my car cost me!

Please remember guys that this is Grahams for sale thread and not a topic necessarily for discussions on unless you're interested in buying the vehicle. Also Graham stated that he had over taken C63 AMG mercs, supercharged Jags etc on track. He was stating a fact. Just let me know Graham if you want any posts deleted or hidden. GLWTS.

I ran Berks De-Cats and an Invidia Gemini exhaust system on my DE Zed (although it was also supercharged). I passed the 100dB static test (1/2mtr @4.5K rpm) at Castle Combe although later in the day I was pulled in for another noise test as my Zed was too loud for the driveby dB noise checks. Do you know what dB limits you'll be facing Tom as it can differ between circuits. Plus if you fail the driveby noise checks as I did if you know where they are you can drive around them by not pressing the throttle as hard when going past or upshifting earlier etc. Some dB figures in this old thread I wrote: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/97440-performance-car-action-day-at-castle-combe-video-pics-250415/

Definitely. Nice looking though. I know some seats do seem to demand a premium even in used condition though. Recaro RS4 wingbacks are one set that springs to mind as they're usually at least a £1K each in used condition.

You mean not giving a sh*t at all? Or enjoying a chance encounter with a fellow petrolhead?

Honest opinion Gareth ~ I'd tell the ex to go and take a long walk off a short pier. Although she obviously invested in your house by the sounds of it I know but that's her loss now she's decided to end the relationship imo. Legally if you lived together for more than 6 months I believe she could claim that you were "common law" partners but she would have to be able to prove she bought certain things for the house & they were not gifts to you. Legally she does own what she bought (so would need all the receipts as proof) and can take those items back if they weren't gifts to you but as for home improvements I don't think she can do anything about that. I'd talk to a solicitor if it starts to get too serious, ...you'd be looking at around £150 per hour I'd guess but you might only need a one hour session to get your head around the legalities.

Welcome aboard. Did somebody tell you that dyno reading or have you got the dyno sheet? Just sounds a little on the high side for a DE Zed with just an exhaust system. Either way enjoy your car.

Great picture Trig and you've got some serious lock on there.

Did you try the Dremel fibreglass reinforced cutting wheels? I've cut all sorts with those including carbon fibre, stainless steel, heat treated steel & more.

Not as far as I know. Apparently it was his friends car and he mentioned it on here in case anyone wanted to buy it. Soon as I saw the pics coupled with you mentioning it was from the Malaysian Touring Cars I remembered it. Thanks GM. Ye think Blaze had a problem shifting it to start with, we got a proper engine for it as it only had a fairly standard 2 liter lump in it which was a waste of all the other good bits and with only 210 BHP wasn't all that quick. I'm amazed you remembered the car, must have made an impression on you. It was a great looking track ready weapon, ...I've got a pretty good memory nowadays though so I just tend to remember random stuff.

Well it doesn't look out of place so as long as you're happy with it then that's all that matters.

Fyi longsh7 AFAIK my Zed never had switchable maps after it's UpRevs were done (once before FI & once again when I was FI) and yes I had cruise control so that feature maybe at the mappers discretion to add or only if the customer specifies they want it. @CarlW ~ I assumed as you mentioned your EML has come on in-conjunction with you mentioning the HFC's that you had done a code check which showed the secondary O2 sensors at fault which is common on cars with HFC's or De-Cats if they haven't had the secondary O2 sensors switched off after an UpRev. If you don't know why the EML has come on then you're really best off getting the code read before doing anything else.

Welcome aboard.

Looks pretty nice. Is the black bit leather, carbon or something else?

From your location it's a bit of a drive but I'd use Horsham Developments and get an UpRev done if it was me. Link: http://h-dev.co.uk/our-services/mapping-and-dyno-hire/?v=79cba1185463 Used them myself and it was worth the drive from where I live.
