I would be amazed if any member couldnt find at least one show or meet which suits their needs.

I am not one of the clever guys but i think the forum software is a bit limiting on getting too clever without the bucket.

And relax.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Thats pretty good indeed, I have had 3 in 6 years.

I have it recorded for viewing tonight, really looking forward to it.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Slightly off topic but amusing. The latest porsche gaff. They had one of the new models in today for a four wheel alignment. It has rear sensors, that auto cruise control that will monitor the car in front, lane sensors for motorway driving and indicators on the wing mirrors to et you know when you are being overtaken. So a lot of gadgets. Parked in the bay for calibration.... the sensors go mad as the wall is too close. Turned around to calibrate.... the front sensors plug into a machine which align them with the rear of the car, the lift poles are in the way. Fail. No way to do the test. The car can in theory drive around a car park and not be crashed. The one that tried it had a three foot calibration error so tried to stop three feet after hitting a wall.

I rarely read what I post.

Just out of interest what colour is your car, some colours are a lot harder to match.

Its ok, they e-bay car is an import, gave me a shock though.

Just having a trawl on e-bay and found this. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350z-G ... 500wt_1287 Thought it looked familiar.

+1 on Sarnie, he knows what he is doing.

If its failed in the usual place its about £50 to weld. You can get an upgraded exhaust for abbot £400. Dont use a man dealer.

The drive fits in the rear cubby but it still leaves space in there.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Interesting questions and I will give it my best shot. I would say we were more fans of the Z marque rather than Nissan in general. This forum is as much about the community and social side as the cars although its a great source of information and parts. Suprisingly Nissan show almost no interest in us which I can never understand. We have recent dealer interest which is encouraging and I am sure many others visit the forum.

Thats terrible mate, it deserves a rant. I hadnt realised how bad the sytem had got.

I think this is a great idea and desrves a mention. Anyone want to treat the kids. Startline Young Drivers Scheme Launched One of our most exciting innovations for some years is Startline, a scheme to teach 13-16 year olds how to drive in the safe environment of the circuit using the paddock as a mini road network. The innovative young driver scheme, has already been receiving praise from important, influential bodies, like the local authority. Wiltshire County Council’s Road Safety Manager, Judith Billingham said: “This is a very worthwhile experience for young people, in a safe, controlled environment.” The Startline scheme uses highly experienced Advanced Driving Instructors to teach under 17’s the car control skills, driving mindset, sign knowledge, road reading talent, safety know-how and many other essential driving must-haves, in a carefully constructed five-stage program. The aim is to make pre-licence youngsters better, safer drivers when they eventually do get out on the road – giving them the best possible start to their motoring lives. The youngsters improvements are assessed individually by the team of skilled instructors over each of the six-hour sessions (five in total), helping to get the young drivers used to the driving test mentality. And, at the end of each stage, parents get to ride alongside their budding driver offspring, to help them experience driving with passengers, and for the parents to see the improvements the Startline scheme has made, firsthand. The five-stage Startline youth driver initiative will be run in groups during school holiday times, priced at £150.00 for each six-hour stage (of a five-stage course). For more information on Startline, or to book the first few slots in the Autumn Half term in October (24th-27th), please call on 01249 782417 or book online @ www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk.

You need a handheld remote mate.

Double or whipped. Just checked and they wont except the results from anywhere else so it all about the money.

Nissan allow their mechanics 3 hours to fit.

Get yourself a dentist chair for home then -you lay on your back, lower BP while you - win win all round Now theres a plan.

Strange thing about BP at the doctors. I can let a dentist rip out teeth and do root canal work all day and it doesnt bother me. Doctors make my BP go through the roof. My record was around 212/140 from memory. That was with a knackered back though.

One thing to check for is a tappet like noise, a pretty common fault. If you here it walk away, its actually a piston problem.
