  1. As discussed before - there are items which cover both models (wheels etc) so the standard for sale section has to remain. Moving sale threads every time just creates more work for moderators.
  2. Yeah just crop it. Although sometimes using paint can lose some of the resolution. Windows Photo Manager would be better.
  3. Don't be a smart arse. My point being that so far in the past week the dozen or so For Sale threads that have been approved - not a single one has been in the new designated model specific sub forum.
  4. I was just about to PM this to you Dan!

    350z engine seized

    Well doesn't that make me look lick a d***. My apologies. Someone local will likely be able to recommend someone. You car is an 07, and not a HR, so it is a Rev-Up engined car. Brave man buying a car from an auction with a seized engine when you clearly know nothing about engines or mechanics......
  6. Jesus. I would report this to Pistonheads if I were you.
  7. Christ that is awful. Not helping with your question, just stating a fact. Someone else may know.

    350z engine seized

    it's an ENGINE not a engion. I can forgive it once or twice, but not constantly! Anyway, You need to get your engine stripped down to see what damage is done. It could be fixable for considerably less that the £1500 ish of buying a second hand engine, and then paying for it to be fitted. Where are you based? We may be able to recommend somewhere to take it to be looked at. What were the circumstances of it becoming seized? The Rev-Up was a slightly modified version of the VQ35DE.

    350z engine seized

    If it only has one air intake it is a DE engine (not HR) and being a 2007 car that means it's a VQ35DE(rev-up) you have.
  10. The new sub forums have been open for a over a week and neither have a single thread in them. Use them or lose them.

    350z engine seized

    2007 is the year the engine changed. So you need to know if it's a VQ35DE or a VQ35HR your car is fitted with. Quickest way to know this is if your engine has twin air intakes it's the later model HR.
  12. Cars with the same set-up can have a +/- 5db difference easily. Best thing you can do, is measure it yourself. Even one of the free DB meter apps from an app store will give you a ball park figure.
  13. I'd recommend you do a HPI check yourself and then offer that as proof that it is not recorded as a Cat D. I also strongly urge any potential buyer to do their own HPI check, and get an independent engineers report. I understand you are probably just wanting to get your money back that you put into it. But regardless of whether it is recorded damage or not, the car has been acknowledged to have suffered enough damage for an insurance company to write it off. As such, it should be classed in any buyer or sellers eyes as a Cat D car. Which means you will not get market value for it. And as for exporting your car to the US - good luck with that. It's is a complete pain in the arse and will cost you a fair sum. The 350z is pretty cheap over there, you would be better cutting your losses here, selling for £6k, and buying another over in the US.
  14. I think it could be Tilly's old car, if so I've seen it a number of times at ESR when it was getting all the bits fitted to it. Although I seem to remember that we've had this conversation before Liam, and it turned out there were two UY V2 kitted cars.
  15. Jim Wolff stuff is pretty good, and was one of the first induction kits available for the 350z. That kit does not come with a different hard tube. You literally take the airbox off the end of the OEM pipework and fit this filter As for price - you will need to add shipping and 20%vat and then 3.5% import tax. Speak to a few of the traders we have here - CS, Tarmac etc etc and see what applications they have. I assume you know that any claimed HP gains they say these kits give is complete bollocks. You get 0 HP increase.
  16. This is the thread below the one you just created.... http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/77413-ads-tablet-install/
  17. This. I had that exact model and it never missed a beat. It got hammered around the country and used as a mobile skip when I was renovating my house. After 2 years I sold it for only £400 less than I paid for it.
  18. Ah so this is the hound we'll meet later today. Good looking animal
  19. Torque Pro is used by a few members here and get's good reviews generally.
  20. Just read about this over on the zx forum. Sad to see another 300 hitting the scrappers, but always good that no one was hurt. You'll be able to break the 300 if you decided to buy it back from the insurers and probably make some money back to put towards the TT.
  21. Firstly, read this thread: http://www.350z-uk.c...tion-the-rules/ ---------------------------------------------- The competition is now open for February. Post your entries below.

  22. Polished Bliss sell swirl removal kits which consist if a DA polisher and the correct pads and products. Have a look at their website. I think it's about £160 for a kestrel DA6 and the other bits.

    Wheel refurb

    They don't need to be diamond cut. The dish and rim lip can be polished by hand and masked off whilst centres are refurbed.
