  1. You sure you have the spring plates behind the pads as they have been known to be left out? Also make sure the backs of the pads have been copper greased - on my first 350 it was that absence that caused clicking as you described. Oh, and you mean axle, BTW.
  2. Glad you are sorted
  3. I recall when the first pics of the 370 were released in 2009 there was almost unamious dislike for the 370 design in comparison to the 350. Over the years that dislike has changed significantly judging by comments made over the last 5 years and interestingly many doubters, including me, made the change and looking back whilst the more raw driving experience of the 350 is something I highly valued the various improvements of the 370 made it a far more pleasant experience for everyday driving. But as looks are so subjective, human nature will mean that most will 'defend' what they currently have so as not to fall out of love

  5. Does that include the facelift 370's? Only asking in case a member with one of the latest 370's takes a fancy.

  7. Congratulations you two - and all the best for the future
  8. Trust the passenger seat has been cleaned after the passenger rides you gave with the TT's
  9. Notice you left out the 'oh bugger' bit Darren But nice lines (expect no more from you after you showed me up on the Kart track ) but who was the lucky passenger?
  10. All posts in that section need approval, irrespective of the number posts or time as member on the forum. Those who do not meet the minimum requirement would not be approved.
  11. 20" wheels on 370z is a bit too big, the car doesn't look natural anymore, the Nismo 19" wheels are by far the best you can do on the 370z, specially with the nismo body kit. Let's do a swap with your OEM wheels Now there is an offer! Nismo wheels in black
  12. Some hope for more entertaining races from now on then!
  13. Hit and run is an offence - AC10: Failure to Stop After an Accident. As such the police should act. Punishments range from imposing 5 - 10 penalty points, disqualification, fines of between £1,000 to £5,000 or even six months imprisonment. In cases involving serious injury or death, far more punitive measures can be administered. Hence my understanding is that the police have a duty to follow up on cases not reported by the offender within 24 hours -- PERIOD!
  14. It does make you so angry that those responsible do not have the decency to own up. And as the Police not bothering about an unisured driver causing that horrendus damage when there is CCTV evidence that they should use to deal with the culprit, is just plain wrong. Don't know if it is of any help but found this about what actions can be taken by a bit of googling: http://www.thompsons...run-drivers.htm
  15. You sure you have not locked onto a route saved by a previous owner? 5 routes max can be stored in the Navigation settings, or you have entered "resume previous route".
  16. Not up for the challenge then youngun?
  17. Might be worth PMing Keyser who is local to you and seeing he has just removed his OEM front wings. See post N#314 here: http://www.350z-uk.c...5/page__st__300
  18. Excellent
  19. " Standard guise"? For many that would be quite modded already
  20. Just a heads up to anyone needing some of their cleaning gear. Just stocked up on cleaning products and also spotted the RainX offer of buy one get one free, so good time to buy If buying multiples make sure you keep 3 products of similar prices together and purchase separately so the cashier does not add much lower priced items that would reduce your potential saving
  21. I was just surprised at your somewhat dismissive comment on air safety when I know how keen you are aboiut safety on the roads and on track. Can't say I have ever "enjoyed" commercial air travel - just a means to an end.
  22. Started about a week ago. Been working fine for 2000 miles. In which case I would be tempted to drain the whole system and refill, without antifreeze as a trial, to see if that clears any blockages/airlocks.
  23. Has it been like that since the engine swap or something that started some time later?
  24. Can't help thinking that given the security in place nowadays at airports terrorists will be looking for any cockpit crew who show interest into their sadistic culture to down planes. Afterall, many are prepared to sacrifice themselves on the ground to be become so-called martyrs and you can't help wondering if that was what led to the fate of MH370 as well as this latest case.... Just hope those thoughts are proved unfounded for the sake of all those in the industry, their customers and anyone otherwise potentially affected. @ Dan: I can assure you that having been on a plane that was in the air at the same time that plane was downed (and not a million miles away either) it has had a profound effect on future air travel for me.
