  1. Welcome mate, hope the Z hunting goes well. 1. Common Problems and anything to check? Main problem is a clicking rear axle, which you should be able to hear when you set off on a test drive. Still relatively cheap to repair eg £300 ish. Some Bose systems skip when playing CD's so might be worth bringing one with you. Always HPI check the car and then it's just the usual things when buying a car. There's not usually any major things that will cost mega bucks. 2. General things to look for? Only what you would normally check when buying cars, main problems IIRC are answered in 1. No probs getting an import, could save you £££ but for some reason they cost some people more on insurance so check that out first 3. Anything to stay away from? Personally I'd avoid any car that has already been turbo'd, supercharged or nitroed as engine can be fragile if it's not done correctly. Would only consider one if it was a user on here tbh. Apart from that avoid Orange/rusty cars as it's well known that they have much less power - don't they Tim 4. Any recalls on things? There has been a post for recalls recently for 07 cars, should be able to find it if you do a search. Don't know of any others. There's plenty more info on here if you can find it. I used this site to help me nefore I bought my car. If you are thinking of a specific car and want advice just post up. We are an opinionated lot tho. . .
  2. I'm paying £26K to attend next years! is that not enough man! cheap at twice the price not when you see my photos Not actually taken by me, just stolen from internet as usual
  3. I have some type of TomTom and just programme the destinations after I arrive. Didn't know they were that clever
  4. Where abouts in North Manchester are you?

    sauna

    My Z doesn't seem to like the warm weather esp when stuck in a traffic jam. Hear more noises and rattles than usual. Personally prefer it to pi**ing rain though
  7. My g/f's Glaswegian which is more than enough reason to be scared. Probably get sliced from ear to ear if I tried to show her the door
  8. Whereabouts in Cheshire are you, I'm on my way
  9. No nearly finished now, only three things left to fit, bonnet, spoiler and coilovers then that definately it. For this summer You know the bug'll bite before next summer Martin. I can see you later this year struggling for traction with your Turbo and wet roads
  10. Though i'd jump on the bandwagon and join the ninja cult
  11. On a serious note please please PLEASE can people be careful when talking about prices in front of the +1's, or at least divide the real price by at least 10 or something
  12. And who is going to fit that?? 4 bolts seem straight forward enough just purchased a tool kit from halfords to see me through it also ordered a builders helmet incase something falls on my head I hope so bud. You may end up with strut brace up, air intake out, and then getting to it. Make sure you reconnect the jubilee clips properly too to prevent air leak. jubilee clips sounds rude what is it I'm changing my plenum and throttle body tomorrow so need to listen in to this advice. We should swap numbers Jay in case either of us messes up

    1750hp Zed

    It's basically a huge turbo with some 350z replica bodykit balanced on top of it and some huge ass rear wheels. Bet it's not a daily driver Like the look of the BMW Louis, hope it gets into production looking like that

    Boot rattles

    No i don't mate. I know where the vibration comes from, it's the plastic inside cover of the boot. It happens when an aftermarket exhaust is used inc Nismo's on occasion. Just need to get the right filler to sort it out now
  17. Never seen those before. Would be exclusive
  18. Brilliant weather, have a bright red right forearm. Waxed the car and took it for a spin only for it to get covered in dead bugs

    Fair price?

    It cost me £500 to have VS V1 front lip, spats and rear lip painted and fitted but it only took 2 days. Sounds like a fair price
