I'm 6'4" and I done track time in the zed with no issues wearing my lid, how far back do you have your seat reclined ?

The Ginga FTW .......... but then I'm biased. All depends as said above, what's your preference is it a coupe or a roadster. I personally find the roadsters hard on the eye, but that is just MY personal taste. You makes your choices, pay the money and take your chances, as the saying goes. NB: Rember though, it is always worth travelling further afield for the right car, don't buy just because they are close by you. Good luck in your search

Andy, what's the camping format, is there a separate camping area or is it like JAE and you camp at your club stand ? -

On my Zed...... 1 - 2, notchy when cold, ok once warmed up. 4 - 5 crunches if shift is quick, no crunch and smooth when paused for a split second. Well known fact the syncros are chocolate in the early boxes. Just adjust your driving style a bit to compensate for the crappy syncro

Great watch

Lol know your pain.... We've got names for ours....The Zed is the Zed, then there Joobs for the Pathfinder because of her reg number J10OBS, the Jeep Commander is Jeeps, not very orginal I know and the Astra Twintop convertible is new to us so not settled on a name for her yet, but I dare say the missus will win that one !!!

Zmanalex or Jon@Emperor are your best bets

I get your thinking mate, but the 370z is an excellent compromise on the gtr, considering its a summer only car your buying, and pushing the boat out for the Nismo makes it even sweeter. Personally I think the white Nismo's are pure Pamela Anderson, as in you'd never get bored taking it for a ride out

Nice one mate........What's next ?

Lol, right last post on this........it's the fact you know the air bag is deleted and they don't, if they don't ask, (it doesn't matter what wheel you put on), but if it nulls the air bag, then thats a mod, but you know there is an undeclared change to the standard function of the car as it came out the factory, notifying of change of wheel is fine and must be done but so is informing them that that change also invokes another mod........The air bag not being there anymore. How can that not be important ? scratch that last sentence, as above last post, we've derailed busters OP enough. Sorry Buster

I'll stick with what my insurance told me about it if and when I change my wheel, then I know I'm 100% good. I do get what your saying Dan, I just don't agree about not fully declaring known mods and unknown mods. Called me picky, but I don't trust insurance company's not to wiggle from any claim. I just don't see the reason not to be tell them about the air bag being defunct, there is no reason not to, except you think it will put up your premium. I don't "hate" about your exhaust, dont be childish, but there's a huge difference between that and no air bag. Anyway, good debate, you advise on your take and I advise on mine, doubt the two will meet.

Go check your policy: Unless you have it as an extra, your own personal injury is not covered at all. If the claim is against the other party, then nothing in my policy has any affect on the claim I make on theirs. My car could be completely illegal (no MOT, tax or insurance) and I could have no licence, and yet if they drive into me I'm still completely able to claim any and all damages from their insurer. If I crash in my own car and break my leg, my injury is not covered by my motor insurance as standard. You cannot exclude liability for negligence which results in injury or death: This is enshrined in statute. Your insurer may let you pay extra for X amount of cover, but a basic policy does not. Although in fairness some insurers do offer a small amount of cover as an incentive to take a policy out with them, they certainly don't have to. As I've said previously, I have disclosed to my insurer that I have a different wheel (well, I did on the MR2 and MX5 when I had them). They knew what I'd done exactly. I have no idea at all what risk they allow into their policies, how they front load them, what they will allow before becoming uncomfortable with the risk and refusing to insure etc. How could I? I don't work for them. Legally I only have to inform them of the material facts, which in this case would be that I have replaced X steering wheel with Y steering wheel. As to how that affects their risk and my policy, that's up to them. I can understand a certain level of confusion about what a material fact is, but I can promise you that as long as you inform them of what you've done and do not lie, then that's fine. Dan, they don't ask you if you've lied to them they insist you declare any modifications from standard to the vehicle, lieing and non declaring are easily taken in different context, and It'll be their version that matters in the end.

I asked my insurance company when I disclosed all my mods on my car and as I was looking at an aftermarket wheel I told them that also, first thing the rep said was "is it air bagged" ?. No, I said, his answer, "well if you do fit an aftermarket wheel, let us know as your car comes with front air bags as standard". That is all I need to know. Kyle, I'm not saying there is bagged wheels on after market wheels, all I'm debating is the fact you need to tell your Insurance company about the mod, nothing else. It's been discussed a thousand times on here re informing insurance companies of modifications, the responsibility is yours to disclose all relevant information about the mods you do, so they can assess their risk on what this mod does, they can't assess the risk if you don't fully disclose the truth. How else are they going know whether it's bagged or not unless YOU tell them ?. I'll go back to my earlier point .....no fault accident, none air bagged not declared to insurance company and the at fault drivers insurance co is going to wiggle out or at best seriously reduce your compensation for personal injury, because your Insurance company tells them you didn't inform us the air bag had been deleted as a result of fitting aftermarket wheel. It makes no sense to not disclose it, why wouldn't you ?. We don't have a clue who is at the end of the phone, how good they are at their job, how much they know about aftermarket ad ons etc etc, it's a no brainer not to inform them. Ekona's point that I told them I've fitted an after market wheel and type, value etc is not sufficient information as not only have you changed the wheel as a known declared mod, what you haven't told them is that by doing so you've also altered / modded the air bag function, that Is an undeclared mod, unless they ask you and by which you have to tell them the bag is now not in place.

Where do you live ? edit: Leeds way. Best bits of advice I could offer is A: buy from a member here and B: be prepared to travel for the right one and look at a few, unless like me you must have the first one you go see because it's been enthusist owned and that bit special
