it is nice to hear that it is just not me that have had these experiences with the z. On reflection from last night i could of drove maybe a little quicker around the bends but i felt within my limit and thats more important than humping around the corner and losing it
I think once i lower my car and change from the 18's to 19's the z may feel a little firmer on corners !!
Thanks lads and lasses
Just had a look at your car and
The daft thing is everything on your mod list and from the pictures covers all my dreams of how i want my car to look.
If you do not get any positive offers i would be very interested in the wheels and other bits on your car.
Hope you do get what you want for it.
Sorry to hijack the thread but I have a set of BNIB glow plugs for 350z year 03 onwards if anybody wants them. only £0.25 plus £39.75 shipping from Nigeria.
Make me an offer
I would like to take the glow plugs off you for my 350z taxi i use, but will you ship to iceland please....
As i passed my 24hr garage coming home from work 15 minutes ago i noticed a 06 plate mini pulling out behind me. No one around for half a mile and he caught me up quick but at that time i was just doing the usual trip home.
I came up to some traffic lights and then got stuck behind one car and a lorry so when it was clear i overtook as fast as i could and this mini was stuck to my bumper .
I am approaching two corners that i know and are tricky but to make things worse there is that fine rain, so at my comfortable pace i motor round them but all i can see is this mini glued to my bumper . I did feel the z was on the limit but this mini i reckon would of nailed me around those bends .
He then flashed his lights and we went different directions. I was very surprised at how the mini pulled up so close to my car but i will stress i did not go ott due to having respect for my car, also being a little wary about losing the back end.
Just thought i would share my little moment with you lot. Anyone else been surprised how fast some other cars are compared to the Z ??
There was a old volvo going for £125 no offers with tax and 12 months mot, but still could not justify another vehicle to insure and run.
The silver honda Martin looks a great run around a good buy.
I never understand why people fit stuff to a high performance car knowing it is going to lose you power
I look at the threads on improving performance out of my car
I have been to the pod a few times in my 3.2 GSi Vectra and i have to say it is nothing like a normal tarmac road or at a set of lights in the high street.
I would like to take my Z and see how it does. Keep us up to date on your times
Tha badges are stuck on the front, the rear is also stuck on and has two small pins/holes in the boot lid.
Unless its a roadster in which case the boot is plastic and has no pin holes so its easy to debadge
ooopps, you learn something every day
Thanks Martin
paint stripper gun, Surprised you've got any paint left, sound ssevere to me, hairdryer is fine.
Clearly I had to borrow one before any one says anything
I was carefull Mike otherwise i could of had a melted lump of plastic as a bumper on the floor
I changed mine last week. I used a paint stripper gun to get the badge really hot and then use a wooden craft knife type object with a cloth on the end and slowly prised the old badge off.
Keep the whole area as warm as you can and you will find the glue will also rub off using your fingers and then a little polish to finish off.
Happy days
