Just Drove My Mates Zed Around Some Twistys & Straights
Chris`I replied to wutang200's topic in 350Z General
Everyone is fooled by the Zeds linear power delivery. My mate has an Evo VIII and it "seems" a lot quicker than my Zed by the butt dyno due to the turbo spooling up and hitting you in the ass! When we get them side by side, there is very little in it. Plus as Kevo says, its much easier to get the birds in a Zed -
Yeah, I know... to be honest she's just got no interest in it, cars a car to her and all that. Perhaps when I come home with some great tales to tell she'll come along next time, in the mean time my housemate James will be fulfilling the 350Z meet duties only My missus said exactly the same mate, it took me booking a nice hotel for the weekend to convince her to come, but she loved the meet so much that this time she'd already saught out a hotel for us to stay at before I'd even considered it! Just book a nice hotel for the night and I'm sure you can talk her around.

That would be cool if it had a longer burn time than 10minutes! Surely any nut job can whack together a tourch with a stupidly high wattage bulb in it that will allow you to burn stuff? The trick is to make it last a little longer than 10 mins!

I'm with Beavis. Will get it when Humax release their PVR version. Apparently its in the works for release around xmas time. I did think about getting the normal STB and then putting that in the bedroom when the PVR comes along, but I cant justify that much atm as I have to pay the extra for the dish anyway not having had Sky before. Once the Humax Freesat PVR is out I will definately get it and finally have HD TV on my HD TV

Thats because you'd get automatically banned and the thread deleted

AFAIK the changes still stand, no U-turn. I'm shocked at how little notice most people are taking of this! I tell everyone at work its not just my 3.5l monster that will be effected, but their 2l family hatch, but they dont seem to take any notice.

Will try and make this next month, on hols this time around. Will be good to see some different Zeds and Nissans there

Hi Nick, to the nut house Theres no real dedicated meet organisers on here, we're not the biggest bunch of people in the world, so if someone fancies a meet, they just organise it. We regularly have a few go to the Reading Jap Meets on the second(ish) Tuesday of each month. Living only down the road, I will probably pop along to the next meet once I'm back from hols
-
Time to get her a TT kit then

Arent there certain features that are locked to O2? I was lead to beleive that certain things are specific to the way the O2 network is set up and wont work on Voda/Orange/etc? This was a while ago though

Jockland Hoon! Scottish drive out 7th September
Chris`I replied to Stew's topic in Meets, Shows and Events
Have a good one chaps! I'm off on hols for 2 weeks (hence why I'm missing it), and my baby will be locked up nice and tight while I'm away. Hope you all have a cracking drive and see some of you at the Wales run -
Uni schedule? If its not for exams then no lectures will get in the way of a Wales run! Essays can be done early, and I missed enough lectures and still survived
-
All very good points. As Stew has said, go see a reputable tuner to see what they suggest. It could be many things as jonb says, so we cant really diagnose and fix it over the internet. With FI installs you really need to have a reputable tuner you can go to for this stuff.

Yep well I got a Q7 audi at the mo for work and Im getting my weekend car delivered in December, custom colour so have to wait. Going to be the best christmas ever lol cant wait Isn't pink a list colour for the Fiat 500? lol how did you know ha ha. Nah its a plain black V8 Vantage new one with engine upgrade, black leather with red stitching cant wait Enjoy the depreciation curve You only live once bud, cant be arsed about depreciation. Only time I worry about depreciation is if a property I purchased ends up in negative equity, or if any more of my brain cells depreciate lol Can I have the car when your brain cells depleat so much you cant drive? think martinmac has first dips lol I'll get him to leave it to me in his will. Will be a classic by then

Tell them you want to see the old one. Cant see many Nissan stealers have a 350z box just laying around
-
+1 - dont give them a chance to gobble together a fix. Either new car or completely new box. As Digs says, their fix may only last a few months before you have to go back and do it all again. On something brand new, they should not do fixes, they should replace outright. Unfortunately that will probably mean a wait for a new car to arrive, but at least that one should be pukka.

Black Jaxx is Clifford AFAIK Agreed - the problem with Black Jaxx, is if they know its fitted then they make you enter the code. You want something wireless and unassuming so that they dont know its there at all. Also this would be useless if OEMs install it as the car jackers would know its there and force you to activate it for them. I.e. if they knew about the RFID then they'd just make you hand over the card/fob/etc.
-
So when do you have to enter the code? Is it every time the door opens or just when the engine is on and the door opens? As Amanda drives my car, I'd be quite tempted to get one. They should really do one with RFID in it, so that you can have a smart card in you wallet that it picks up. When its in range the device would de-activate, but when out of range the anti-hijack would kick in. Just make sure the thieves dont take ya wallet too!

So, your not joing the start or the end, your coming to Wales just for the lunch? Well doing the best bit in the middle! Last time thats where the best driving with least cars was to be had. We did think about diving to Chester to meet the others, but it added a lot of extra miles for not that much more fun. Meeting everyone at lunch, doing the middle stint to tea stop, Evo triangle and then back to Bala, doesnt actually miss much of the fun roads if you look on the map Plus we're there to do a bit of MTB'ing and Mike's wedding Salute

Possible gearbox problems. Covered under warranty?
Chris`I replied to CarpeDiem's topic in Warranty Issues
+1 - also mention that you are a member on these boards and that you know for a fact that there is a problem and it is covered under warrenty. FYI my box has done 55k now and still changes fine. For yours to not be working right at 10k, it has to be a fault with the box and not your driving. Therefor Nissan have to fix it.
