send a PM to "R35LEE" on here. He'll be able to source you one much much cheaper than Nissan Stealers. Hope you get the bonnet sorted. Ihad a very similar tail of woe with a dealer in the North East last year. Car only goes to specialised Independant garages now.

Mine was an impulse purchase. I was bored one day with the girl I was seeing, and we decided to go test drive a few cars. Only ended up test driving one! Decided there and then I wanted the Zed, so had 2 garages bid to give me the best trade in price for my Rex. The night before I picked her up was a nightmare! I had been away on holiday in Cyrpus, and landed in Manchester at 2300 on the Saturday! I was due to pick up my brand new car on Sunday at 9am! and still had the 3 hour drive home to do. Typically I wasnt driving, and the lad who was is the worlds slowest driver! All i wanted to do was get home and get to bed. Got home about 3am in the end, hardly slept at all, got showered and dressed, and went to pick my mum up (she was as excited as me lol) Drove through to the garage, and I was given the special treatment and they had opened specially just for me to collect my car (a small family run place that has since went bust). Was given the chance to go over my new car with a fine tooth comb in their detailing garage under bright lights. I had already seen her once, on the day she was delivered to the garage 2 weeks prior. But she was still coated in all the travel wax gunk etc. So seeing her all shiny under lights was awesome. I jumped in, backed her out of the garage, and have loved every minute since. 7 days later I was at ESR buying an exhaust and spoiler! lol. And so began the love affair.

"Rich 4 Shazza" or the like

Get them on, if you dont like them, then get em off. You coming to the mini meet on Monday night?

What snow?

Not sure about that one like. It is damned ugly though!

Ive got a stack of modded Zeds pics, but all on my old laptop - the ones of mine included. If I ever get it working, I shall add to the collection. PS - WTF was Sketch going on about?

looks a bit naff, but kudos to the guy for choosing to splash the cash on a car that not everyone would choose.

Just as a side note Wasso - you do know you wont get an BHP gains from an exhaust unless you get the car remapped. The ECU is self learning, and will dial out any gains initially recieved.

Does this happen when you speed up/slow down? If so, check the manual as its likely to be an "audio Pilot" or similiarly named function that accounts for the road noise.

Sounds like the standard flywheel noise to me. Mine has made the same for all 20,000 miles of its life so far

If this car is from a Nissan Dealer, then get back there and demand a second key, an owners manual, and the full MOT information.

^^ What Mike said

In the Regional Meets section of the forum

Probably Wolviston services. It'd have to be Monday for me, as I'm bust Tuesday, and back to work in Dover on Wednesday. I'll stick up a post in the NE section.

If you are free one night this week, we can try and arrange a NE mini meet and you can have a listen to some diff ones that are available.

Just like to sing the praises to the staff at Falcon Performance. Called up on Friday to book in, and was told to bring her in today. Arrived early morning, had a chat with Steve about a few things I wanted them to look at. Got the car back fully valeted and looking nice (for a whole 5 mins! - It was tossing down). Of all the services Ive ever put a car through, this was easily the least complicated, hassle free and satisfying ever. Price was amazing, and I have never seen such an immaculate workshop! Thanks again guys PS, where did you get Katie from? And can I have one of them with my next service!?!

My thoughts exactly Martin! But that hasnt stopped Laura being angry with me this morning when there were no flowers! (I did take her for a very expensive meal last night though!)

Welcome I have an 08 coupe for sale (slightly modified) but can Im betting its been better looked after than one at a dealers. PM if you would like more information.

welcome from another ex RX8 owner. 55 plate runs through till March 2006. So you have a car registered in 06 on a 55 plate. Does it have LED rear lights? Thats the easiest way to spot an 06 onwards car. My car was registered in 08, but is on a 57 plate. And also happens to be for sale.

I have given away things to members on here in the past. Including a full OEM exhaust system, and various badges. In each case someone posted up saying they wanted something, I said I had it, they asked how much I wanted for it, I told them nothing - just to donate to the RNLI and call it even. NEVER ask for anything for free. Its just not the done thing in any walk of life unless you're a scrounging ba**ard. But by all means when somethign is offered for free, then take it with humility. You have been flamed quite alot in this thread, and yet you dont seem to understand why. Despite it been explained by a few members. I have an OEM aerial going spare. However it isnt just a useless piece of kit cluttering up space. I keep hold of it incase someone swipes my stubby and I need to replace it - in which case Id be buying a new stubby off ebay for £8. So I would want at least £8 for the OEM one. Otherwise I'd be out of pocket and you'd be £8 up. Now £8 aint much, and I certainly wouldnt miss it. But neither would you. So stop being a tight arse. And if all else fails, go nick one of a S2000 in a car park.

Its amazing what you can fit into that boot! Ive done 2 trips to Le Mans in my Zed, with all the camping gear included. Did a week down in the South West (via Japanese Tuning Show) with my fiance and all her gear and shoes! Its like a tardis. Not to mention the Glove Box is bloody huge!

mate. Shame you dont want a coupe

Yeah, no problem. Just got to organise a time thats suits us both. Im back from sea on Wed 10th, and am home until the 24th. So pick a day really. Could probably convince a few other locals to call in too.
