  1. Probably best to contact the rail company that operates in your area and ask them. I applied for a drivers job about ten years ago and the only people on the course with me that got through already worked for the rail company as guards. I don't know much about other office based roles though.
  2. Make sure you have a decent test drive from cold and once warm let it idle with a/c off. Smooth roads can hide a multitude of issues with bushes etc so try a road with a few undulations and bumps to check for knocks. The Z is a heavy car and can be very hard on its suspension components. Check for smooth gear changes and whining, also any nasty noises from the rear diff.
  3. Are they spaced this one had filled arches?
  4. Your wheels looked different to standard mate. But it was dark
  5. Well I've owned some of these already but would have them back in a heartbeat: 1.Golf Gti Mk1 2.Lotus Exige 3.Honda NSX 3.2 4.Subaru Impreza P1. 5.Landrover defender 2 6.R35 GTR 7.Original Mini Cooper 8.Escort Mexico 9.Porsche C2 10.VW camper
  6. Haha I'm still on CTRO too. The best thing about a Z over a hot hatchback is the fact it feels like a sports car and looks like one. RWD torque and two seats. Plus sitting on the garage forecourt makes a hot hatch look exactly what it is, a hatchback, you will I guarantee always look back at a Z and think "yeah that looks sexy"
  7. I'm going to keep this simple, I thought the first episode was s***e. Started ok but tailed of rapidly.
  8. It will of course look dated by today's brushed aluminium piano black etc standards. However it was a very well made s&m dungeon and all the control surfaces were a delight and tactile enough to ensure your experience with madam were just right
  9. I agree with you but I am biased, absolutely loved mine.
  10. Spotted a midnight 58 HR looking nice albeit a bit dirty turning off the ring road on to the A33 about 2145.
  11. Nothing wrong with FWD, forgiving and fun can't be a bad thing. RWD just requires that extra skill and the challenge of getting it right adds to its appeal as an enthusiast for me.
  12. There are loads of GT wheels knocking about in garages myself included. I've kept mine and put winter rubber on them.
  13. I love the look of both the 1 and 2 nismo models and would happily own either based on looks alone
  14. This is the reason I will be buying a post 2012 car. If getting an older car I would budget to get the gaskets uprated just for peace of mind.As said nothing to bad reported as yet but better to be safe than sorry IMO.
  15. The Germans had the right idea some years back. As their successful club players aged themselves out of the team the German FA basically said "forget the next four years we won't be as competitive due to bringing a new squad through". No expectations were metered out by the fans and the youngsters were allowed to bond and play regularly together without the pressure associated with national duty and public expectation. When the four years were up they won the world cup. Mind you even a bad German team reaches the quarters or semis. I still think building up the younger players from the youth teams up is the way to go, yes there is nothing wrong with a few older experienced play makers in the side to motivate but just picking someone based on league success is meaningless if their particular skill set doesn't match the rest of the team.
  16. No mate she will be going as is. Just ticked over 90k miles so new owner will get a bargain. I will include standard cats, winter wheels etc in the sale. Plus I don't have the standard old lights anyway as I sold them
  17. I already have a 350 mate and the visibility is much better than the 70 hands down. It annoys me they couldn't upgrade the steering column to add reach but I managed to get quite comfortable as the seat went lower than my current 50s. The visibility issue doesn't really bother me tbh. The tyres were on the car when the dealer got her in, it hadn't even been prepped for sale when I popped over. White is a stunning colour in the flesh and it had a pearlescent hue which was great. What year did nissan uprate the oil gallery gaskets? The one I went to see was a 10 plate. Cheers for the advice on AEM
  18. I have a 370 itch to scratch so decided to have a look at one today at a second hand dealer near Guildford. It was a white GT with shadow rays and externally looked very nice. Unfortunately the interior wasn't up to par for me. A couple of questions if I may... Firstly it had an aftermarket induction system by AEM. Looked and sounded ok but I've never heard of them, any good? Secondly a rather shabby repair had been carried out on the boot blind where it hooks on to the boot lid, is this a common problem with them being fragile? The silver trim around the gear stick was in a terrible state and it had cheap tyres fitted, add the fact the engine bay was in an awful state and the underside was in bad order I walked away. I was impressed otherwise with the seating which I know is a bugbear for some but it went lower than my 350 seat and I found it quite comfortable. The clutch pedal was a tad to high for my liking and visibility was risible. I think I will take the plunge after Christmas if a decent one comes up. The previous owner of the one I went to see now has a nismo so is probably on here
  19. All the best and here's to a speedy recovery.
  20. I made the mistake of having my window wound down when I did mine and I needed to reset the window but otherwise it was fine.
  21. Mine did this after a coolant change, air lock as stated.
  22. Good forum and good people, 2 years for me so far. Better than Cutters which had to many folk up their own backsides for my liking
