My JDM 350z had this as standard, with a button to control the brightness in the centre cubby.

I've been following this story closely, as im sure we all have. I've become a very big fan of Shumi during the latter part of his career... i hated him during his Benetton days battling with Damon Hill but grew to respect him as time went on. Reading about his ongoing treatment is quite upsetting. My Wife's mum had a sudden brain hemorrhage 5 years ago, and the she underwent all of the same stages of treatment that they're saying Shumi is going through. Induced coma, cooling the body, inter-cranial pressure monitor etc. The latter being quite a horrific looking procedure (think Frankenstein style cut in your skull.) It was the same story from the doctors every day too... 'she's stable, but critical'. Sadly after 11 days of this we were left to make the heartbraking decision to switch off her life support. I know there are probably differences in the prognosis etc and you never know with each case, but for me and the way things are being described, sadly i dont think he's going to wake up and if he does i dont know what quality of life he's going to have. Sad times.

Ah man i always wanted a set of these, thats a great price!

Just do it yourself... really easy. 1. prep your wheels by sanding with 800 grit wet and dry paper 2. Wash wheels with water to ensure all dust is gone 3. mask off tyres 4. spray several thin layers of primer 5. rub down with 2000 grit paper 6. Wash wheels with water to ensure all dust is gone 7. paint with several layers of spray paint 8. rub down with 2000 grit paper 9. Wash wheels with water to ensure all dust is gone 10. paint with several layers of clear lacquer Takes about a week to do it all, with drying times between layers etc... Your painting environment is important... i did mine in my garage, but the most important thing is your painting technique. light thin layers are the key to success, from a distance of about 12 - 14 inches. If you dont get complete coverage on your first pass, dont go over it - wait until you're doing the next coat http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/53825-fitted-newly-sprayed-winter-wheels/page__hl__wheels

Jack it up, front under tray off, and you may be able to reach the bonnet catch and manually release it?

What are the gt4 wheels? Are they the ones like on a GTR? if so I love them wheels! I've done the whole swapping wheels over winter before but I cant be bothered anymore. . Dont know if anyone saw the orange colour that Chris had on his wheels? ? Big maybe but might go for this one day The best thing is - the colour on those rims now is a 40 quid rattle can job. You can do it in a weekend and if you dont like it, spray them again! yeah, I love the colour... where am i getting it from in future then?? im getting some spacers for them so wont be going after market... I did like the orange you had on the wheels though. i wonder how they would look with a can of clear coat on to gloss them up a bit?? So the colour on there now is Halfords Anthracite. And they have several coats of clear coat on there. (I never tried the orange with clear coat if thats what you meant)

Looks really nice buddy. I must say after a slow start these are really starting to grow on me.

You always pay top dollar for unfinished buggy systems and games if you rush out as soon as its on sale, thats the price you pay to be able to say 'look at me' I didn't bother with a PS3 or xBox360 until they had been out ages as then the market was saturated so good deals and decent well developed quality games were available, same with Apple products too. My friend paid. £250 for an iPhone5 on contract as soon as it came out, I paid £20 4 months later on a better contract... Sent from the golf club... ...well i did have £1500 burning a hole in my pocket after selling my Volks... i couldnt resist

I had an email about one on offer today. For 20quid it looks ok! http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Camcorders/MyMemory/MyMemory-HD-720P-Car-DVR-Driving-Recorder-with-140-degree-Wide-Angle-Lens?utm_source=MyMemory+Newsletter&utm_campaign=a5396c5516-Christmas_Day_1112_6_2013&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b9c4e6e430-a5396c5516-60868517&mc_cid=a5396c5516&mc_eid=4c8bed0d2a

I appreciate all that, but im sure those developers were still getting paid and working full time before the publishers found a way of monetising that bit of effort. Forza 5, along with the Xbox itself both feel rushed to get it on the shelves in time. Hopefully Microsoft are going to add the bits of functionality that are missing (System Video Player is not there yet!), but Turn 10 are going to charge us for those bits that may have been cut to fit the delivery schedule, yet i still paid full price for the 'full' game.

This is it. Im happy to pay for DLC once ive had the game for a while and feel like i need to unlock a bit more functionality. It felt like the designers were being good to fans when it first appeared, but now im 100% certain they're choosing not to put content into the hard copy game in order to charge us for DLC, which is very wrong.

Happy birthday Ian!!

As a consumer I flat out refuse to buy DLC for a game that has just come out. They take away half the content and then try to charge me more to get the rest of the game?! They can eat a bag of d!cks if they think i'm buying their DLC's. Forza has the LaFerrari pack out to buy already - they should have just put those cars in the game. All this downloading games malarkey is a con too. Yes it is easier to not have to get up and change discs, but to charge you more when it's costing them significantly less is a complete con, and for me trading in games is a big part of gaming - i've always done it. It gives me motivation to finish a game so i can trade it in for money off something else.

Cant say i ever heard any whining from mine. Grumbling yes from the lightweight flywheel, but no whining.

So i've played a bit of Forza 5... maybe 3-4 hours. I've got to say im very disappointed in the size of the game. Just 14 tracks in this day and age, thats ridicolous. It's already getting a bit tedious. Loving the Drivertars system tho.

Tools! Tool Chest, socket set, Low entry trolley jack etc

My problem with the 86 is everyone know's it's under powered. If it was comparable to a zed in BHP i'd happily drive one but as they are now imho everyone dismisses them as they know they're not that quick.

It wont work with an import - i tried it on my JDM zed and no joy because they are not ODBII, they are J-OBD. Lexx - maybe get one of the hard wired models which just need power and tapping into the single VSS wire?

I'd go round your alloys with a sharpie or something and retake the photos - that kerbing stands out a mile on an all black car.

I don't think there is any difference. I have just gone through the thread and according to Marzman who bought one the display has a slight blue tint to it. everything else is as in the video. There is a difference - the one in the video is white, and these are green. Secondly the one in the video has a second, smaller numeric readout (in green on the video) - which is not present on this model. Look at the photos of the unit, you can see there is no smaller display above the main one. This is not to put anyone off buying one - im happy with mine, it's just not the one in the video.

Yes what CS said, i fitted a UK exhaust to my first zed.

Rung about 9 places tonight, and finally found one. Tesco Handforth Dean have about 15 in stock! Bought the Fifa 14 console, plus Forza 5 and Battlefield 4. Installing the update now and then it will be until the early hours!

So i wasnt planning on getting one of these until the new year, however i've caved and decided i need one NOW. Spent a few hours searching online and you cant get one anywhere this side of January. Damnit!! Anyone got any tips where to get one now?

I really like that. Looks like Tarmac side's no?
