Hi, I have a few sets of Front Reflectors left over from when i used to make LED versions of them. They are as follows: 1 pair brand new/never fitted, boxed genuine Nissan smoked front reflectors (02-05). £15 + £2.25 delivery. ***SOLD*** 1 pair used genuine Nissan clear/white reflectors (02-05). £15 + £2.25 delivery ***SOLD*** Still Available 1 single right-hand genuine Nissan smoked reflector. £6 delivered Lastly is a bit of a curve ball... 1 pair of genuine Nissan smoked reflectors which i have modified and fitted 7x Orange LED's into each. These were intended to become Indicators but i wasnt happy with the brightness of the LED's, so they've lay in an unfinished state. They work and you would simply need to fill the rear with clear silicone to finish them off, or you could rip out my LED's and fit some clear ones perhaps. £12 + £2.25 delivery

For sale are my Volk Racing 19" GTS Alloys with tyres. These are polished rims with anthracite centers. I'm selling these as i've now sold my Zed and they weren't part of the sale. These are genuine forged 2 piece rims, with the most perfect offsets you could wish for. Rears are 10.5" with a +18 offset. Fronts are 9.5" with a +17 offset. The tyres still have a little bit of life left in them with around 2.5-3mm left on all wheels. Rear tyres are Michelin Pilot Sport 2's in 275/35/19 Front tyres are 1x Michelin Pilot Sport 2 and 1x Goodyear Eagle F1 in 245/35/19 Overall the wheels are in about 7.5/10 condition. All 4 have some form of kerb marks. 2 wheels are worst with marks around about 1/3 of the rim, but the other 2 only have small marks here and there. To be perfectly honest these kerb marks never really bothered me as they're hard to see unless you're up close. This may be to do with them being a polished lip so the kerb marks are masked by the reflections on the rim etc, or it may just be me. The anthracite centres are more or less immaculate. Price: £1500 + £25 delivery, or collection welcome. I may be able to deliver locally to if required. I'm happy if anyone wants to come and view these before purchase too if required. EDIT: Located in Macclesfield, Cheshire. Apologies for these pics, i've just taken these in my garage in the dark

Damnit. If i still had my zed i'd have bought these.

That's because no one in their right mind would consider using such a colour under the bonnet..... Oh I was thinking about these... Which ones do these replace? And how simple is it to swap them over? Ian is joking - his whole under bonnet is orange and i bought these originally off him as they were the wrong shade for his car. These replace the 3 big hoses in the engine bay. There is a thin diameter hose which this doesn't replace. Fitment should be very simple for a garage or easy enough to do at home - simply drain down the cooling system, remove existing hoses and refit these, then fill the coolant back up.

Orange Hose Kit still available. All other items sold. Cooling panel posted today via ParcelForce 48.

Looks like it was Keyser. Great with cars, but clearly can't count.

The Nismo one? Nope... to be honest i forgot i had it on there

Seeing as i was the douchebag in position 1 and i've gone and sold my car, i've updated the list and fixed the numbers. And if anyone's double checking my working, there was no number 8 before i started hence only 41 names instead of 43. 1.

Cool... PM'd.

All yours, PM on it's way.

Now the zed has gone i have a few bits to sell. 1. Rare JDM Engine Cover. This has been on my car for about 9 months and is in very good condition.There is one tiny tiny scratch as seen in the pic next to the Rare JDM logo. £55 incl delivery. ***SOLD*** 2. Wiring ducts. Brand new, never fitted. £10 delivered. ***SOLD*** 3. Anodized cooling panel. This is virtually an exact match to the Azure paintwork. Has been on my car for 5 months. Excellent condition with no marks on the visible surface. The underside (which is hidden) has some machine marks on it from when it was made, but this is not visible when fitted. £55 incl delivery. ***SOLD*** 4. Orange Silicone Hose kit (unbranded). Brand new, never fitted. £35 delivered. Edit, not sure if this is allowed, but I've taken the below pic from I4N's original for sale thread for these hoses as i bought them from him and never fitted them. His pic shows off the colour much more clearly.

Happy birthday!!

Well, after 3 amazing years i've sold my Azure Nismo zed. This was my second 350z, and brings to an end almost 6 years of zed ownership. I've sold it to a new member on here, Matt (Spatt), who i'm sure will be along shortly to post up. I have a feeling that it's in safe hands. Amazingly I wasn't actually selling the car having never advertised it, but i got talking to Matt after he'd registered here and i'd seen him looking for one. This was back in August, and we've kept in touch ever since! I've taken a few bits off which Matt didnt want, most notably my Volk GTS alloys, so look out for a for sale thread within the next few days. I'm not planning on replacing the zed because as i've mentioned before it's become a second (rarely used) car since getting a Range Rover Sport. That said, the money has been burning a hole in my laptop this week as i've trawled Autotrader looking for something interesting. Been looking for a '66 Mustang for sub-£8k but they seem to start at £12k nowadays, whereas they were in the 8's a few years ago. Probably a good thing. I'll certainly be sticking around here, it wont be any different in that respect. Lastly, i'd like to say thankyou to everyone who participates in this forum. I've made some good friends and met lots of genuinely nice people on here, and i'm going to miss not seeing you again at future meets and shows. Thankyou everyone, and a special thanks to all the event organisers. P.s. One more thing which i thought was a very fitting end - Tarmac posted on Facebook last night that my car was in Banzai magazine this month! I submitted the pic ages ago and forgot all about it - thanks Chris!

Happy birthday Liam

A creaking rear will be your Anti-roll bar end links.

It's an unreasonable fear of the unknown. The insurance is not noticeably any different, the tax is the same, the parts are largely the same. The differences in spec can be wider than the UK - they did do some lower spec JDM zeds, but equally they do some slightly higher spec cars too. As there are so many JDM zeds in the country, parts availability is not an issue either.

I'm a Project Manager/Consultant in the ticketing industry. Primarily Football/Rugby and Motorsport ticketing. It's an exciting high pressure job, and i'm working with Chief Exec's and Directors of football teams frequently. I have a home-based contract but only at home once a week as i'm either out onsite or in the office. Rarely take the zed out to a customers' site though, unless it's a nice drive on an A-road.

Hi guys, Today i went to the final stage of the WRC in North Wales, at one of the 'RallyFest' stages. A friend won a pair of tickets so we made a day of it. Have to say, the day was a bit disappointing - rallying isnt much of a spectator sport, and as it's so spread out it seems like the organisers struggle to make a spectacle of it, so the Rallyfest location was a bit poor to be honest. Still, i got some okay pics. I bought a DSLR camera in the week so got to give it a bit of a workout. No idea what im doing with it yet as i dont have an interest in photography, but still had fun! Here's the pics.

Guys thankyou all for your comments on this - all very useful which has given me something to think about. Neil - much appreciated. What you have said has really struck a chord and i am going to seriously look into the physio options. I have always been very dismissive with regards to physio but i guess this has been the wrong attitude. Also the point about detailed analysis - my surgeon spent only 5 minutes with me telling me i needed surgery, and i did feel a little short changed and would have appreciated some more analysis. ChrisS... inspiring that improving your core muscles has helped so much. I keep hearing people telling me to improve them, but I've never spoken to anyone with chronic pain before who has said it has helped or not - so im happy that it has for you. Also Dan/Neil, thanks for the offers of recommendations. I thought i was happy with my surgeon but perhaps not. I'm not sure how a recommendation or 2nd opinion would work (especially as im private so doubt i'd be authorised for a repeat consultation with another Dr), so i think i might have a look into alternative people before going down the surgery route. Cheers.

Click on the image in photobucket, and then on the righthand side click in the box that says 'IMG Code' and copy and paste that to the forum.

If you've not played Max Payne 3 thats well worth your time. I've had it sat on my shelf for a few years and then decided to have a crack at it a few months ago, and was hooked playing it every night. Other than that, GTA5 obviously, but i too picked up a 3DS a few weeks ago. Not go any 'killer' games yet, but i've finished pilotwings and im starting on starfox now.
