What would be the feeling about a small mouth?

No not mine - it appeared at about 2am. looks like it mounted the pavement, missed the first traffic light but hit the second! Fair bit of damage in engine compartment.

There's a job for Dent Diamond outside my house!!! (see above!)

That's where it is staying! and I agree! Cus this is what can happen!! [/img]

I bought a set or rear lexus style lights from the same guy. Quick delivery, lights look ok, no prob with connection, cheapish materials used but you get what you pay for and Im quite happy with them.

This sorted out my TC cutting in - I had to change the tyres to the ones recommended below. Stock 225/40R18 (25.1) 235/40R18 (25.4) .3 inches 18" opt 245/40R18 (25.7) 285/35R18 (25.9) .2 inches 19" opt 1 245/35R19 (25.8) 275/35R19 (26.6) .8 inches 19" opt 2 245/35R19 (25.8) 295/35R19 (27.1) 1.3 inches 20" opt 245/35R20 (26.8) 285/30R20 (26.7) .1 inch First and foremost, you can go very, very wide on the car if you follow a few guidelines. First and most importantly there's the traction control issue. Putting the wrong size tires on the 350Z results in the traction control cutting in and disabling power to one or more cylinders. All but one model of the Nissan 350Z comes standard with traction control that is not easily disabled. The easiest way involves disconnecting several connectors, one of which includes the brake lights. We won't even go into how to do it since it is outright dangerous to drive a car with no brake lights! That being said, it is easy to get the tire size right front to rear, and here's how you do it. The traction control looks at the rate the front and rear tires are spinning and compare them to each other. The stock tires have slightly different overall diameters, and the computer knows this and calculates the rate with this in mind. The stock 225/40r18 has an overall diameter of 25.1 inches, the rear 235/40R18 has an overall diameter of 25.4 inches, so the stock tire is a little over a quarter inch larger than the rear. When changing to differently sized tires, you MUST keep the front and rear over-all diameter within 1/4" to 1/2", or the traction control light will cut on and the computer will cut power to the cylinders of the engine. Since the rear is not actually spinning the car will never stop cutting power, and the VQ35 will act like a 4 cylinder rather than a 6, if not worse.

Will you be taking some to the Thurrock meet?

I'm sure we will be there at 6 Nick but it gets dark at 7 so I expect that will be closing time. Paul

I wonder which lucky sod won the car??? Seems like my answer C) The central reservation, was incorrect. I never thought of using the hard shoulder!

I should have added that I did laugh when I understood!!

I had to read that at least three times before I knew what the hell you were on about!!

Excellent, that really made me laugh!!! I can just picture some poor pedestrian crossing between cars as I pull away!! Actually it could be really serious and i know I'd forget to turn it off - I think I will leave it to the strip boys although the pyromaniac in me would love it!

Is it street legal? Can you turn them off?

I've got a K1 - but you can get it fitted first!!

Not conditioned mine yet, what should I be doing?

Just received the email below from the company which made my plates up. Mine are italic, illegal but not been stopped yet. Is this the end of this type of plate or will they have to be manufactured and sold from abroad? Limited time left to purchase your Showplates You may have seen in the press that from 1st November 2008 it will become an offence to sell or manufacture registration plates that do not conform to the latest British Standards and design criteria laid down by the DVLA. Consequently the ability to purchase Showplates displaying non-legal fonts/spacing/images/slogans etc will be outlawed. As a result, My Showplates can only supply Showplates until 30th October 2008. With this date looming and Christmas fast approaching we wanted to give you as much notice as possible to enable you to place your orders and avoid any disappointment. Here is a direct link to our website: WWW.MYSHOWPLATES.COM We appreciate and thank you for your past support. Regards The My Showplate Team

think you will find it was me!!!!

Aiming to be there. Could bring stove/kettle etc. to save us wandering over to the shop for a £3 coffee! Can't see they would object as it appeared there was a family living in a tent there!!

Yeah Sarnie is right, I changed my wheels and tyres and had big trouble with the TC constantly cutting in. It was basically down to the difference in rolling radius between the new tyres and the original set up. It was +3% on the fronts which was enough to throw it out. Good explanation here http://www.wheelstudio.com/nissan_350z_wheels.php I had them changed to 245 35 19 -0.4% 275 35 19 +1.24% This difference in Rolling Radius was small enough to make no difference. http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible_pg2.html - work it out here!

Thanks Adam!!!

I just searched "best shampoo" and got over 70 different posts, how long will that take me to trawl through? When I have asked fairly basic questions before I have been pointed to a relevant thread by another member that has cut all that out. I'm not clear what the problem is with asking basic questions - responding is a voluntary activity.

I wanted a recent black convertible, couldn't find a decent UK one for sale for 6 months so imported and really pleased. Most UK cars are imported but in bits for assembly here!!!

That was mine - but driven by my friend!! I am a trusting soul. They are Paul's lights just purchased and fitted, the story is on here.
