  2. Hello chaps, I need a new fuse link for the positive battery lead, I got one before from Zman Alex but he's not responding to my messages so not sure if he's still around? I did notice the part numbers are slightly different for the fuse link for a 350z and 370z - someone I know had a spare 370z one but I don't want to try and throw that on the car if it's not supposed to be there! Is there anywhere else you can get these fuse links from?
  3. Got one on my M Sport Beemer, but not on any of the Nissans that I have owned.
  4. Last week
  5. Don’t think there is on most cars is there ?. Boot open light but not bonnet .
  6. New Price for now £4500! Today Iv'e been offered a great first refusal offer on the next car that i'm looking to buy so passing the savings on down the line.
  7. 2 weeks to go everyone 😁 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
  8. Hi all, This is a very soft launch, but I’m thinking I probably should sell this, as with life being as busy as it is - I don’t get chance to enjoy it as it deserves, and it’s about to get much busier. Will write a comprehensive ad when I have time of all the spec, and any flaws, but everything is here in the thread. And in the previous owners build thread linked. In short, I bought the car - Which was already pretty trick, I then spent easily the same amount of cash again getting it to my standard, sorting rust, protecting, fitting more trick bits; RPF1s, Akebono big brake kit and so much more. All to do 2 wet track days and 4k miles in 3-4 years! I know I know. I don’t really want, or need to sell it. But I should. So someone come with a hassle free, grown up sell and buy probably the most complete, capable, reliable package available for the money. All sorted and ready to enjoy - Drive it around Europe, a weekend at the Nurburgring. £7.5k, or less if you wanted to bring your own wheels.
  9. My work pay for one but my house is up for sale and they won’t relocate it so I’m stuck without one for now.
  10. Ive got one installed during Covid for like 400 with government grant. Theyre now £1000 or so for 22kwh. It takes 5 hours to reach 80% on the Kia Niro. Its a good feature to have if selling the house. Plus never know i might see an electric roadster itll be convenient. Plus might be able to rent it out for ppl visiting the area and charge them to charge on the driveway. Ours is pod point
  11. Good save matey, that sneaky b*tch corner ay
  12. Oil leak solved, yes Dave, you were right, part of the gasket had slid out while fitting and was actually being sliced by the cam lobe!
  13. Worked it out, managed to slide the hose of the plastic fittings, bloody tight though
  14. I can't remove the plastic hose running between the valve covers and scared in case I snap them. Previously I removed both valve covers together so it wasn't a problem, but now I just want to remove one, I'm stuffed. Is there a tool or special method?
  15. There aren’t that many local chargers above 22kwh, 50kwh are usually at motorway services so I think it’s an hours charge plus waiting for one to be available. my local Tesco has 3 chargers and I very rarely see one empty.
  16. 2004 Nissan 350z GT pack, Great Service History, impeccable MOT history, Next MOT due 15/02/2025, 125,000 Miles, I’ve owned and looked after the car since 2015 (75k miles), 3 previous owners. GT pack trim, including Brembo brakes. Cruise control. Air conditioning. Rare tan leather interior, electronic adjustable and heated seats, Steering wheel radio controls, Power fold mirrors. Full aftermarket audio system with Apple Car Play / Android Auto, Z anniversary edition 5 spoke wheels. Minor rust / age related marks on the body. New Front discs and pads, Rear tyres brand new, Next MOT due 15/02/2025, 125,000 Miles, £5,555 ono. Car is based in Long Eaton NG10, happy for viewers and test drives. Mods: Breath in – JWT Air Intake, Plenum Spacer. Breath out - Berks Sport Cats, Japspeed Ypipe, Cobra Cat Back exhaust. Cooling – Mishimoto full aluminium radiator and fan shroud, HEL braided clutch and brake lines. Handling – Superpro poly bushes. Performance - Re-mapped and tuned at Horsham Dev, Includes license for any future re-maps. Visual – Tinted windows, Hydro dipped black wheels in 2016 (faded and now due a refurb), Torqen Undertray, stubby arial, B-pillars and petrol cap wrapped in carbon fibre vinyl, black front Z badge, LED tail/brake lights, D2-Spec carbon fibre gear shifter. Audio – Optima Red Top Battery, Uprated High Output Alternator, Full aftermarket audio system running Two amps for front and rear speakers, third amp for subwoofer. Car has been sound deadened in most places. Original boot false floor & carpet, and spare wheel taken out and replaced with new custom made carpeted MDF floor. This is so that the 12inch sub can fit, also makes the boot space bigger to fit more shopping etc. Can be restored back to factory look very easily, I do still have the original floor and mat somewhere and would just need to dig it out. Original Nissan bose subwoofer behind driver’s seat and amp no longer present, but may still have if wanted, again I need to dig out. (Unfortunately, the car will be sold without the aftermarket subwoofer and amp as seen in the boot pic, as I will be taking this to my next car, but all connections are there in the boot for easy plug and play hookup of a new sub/amp). Maintenance / Service History: Every 10 - 12 months - Oil and filter changed Every 3 years - Belts, Coolant, Clutch/Brake Fluid, Gearbox Oil, Differential Oil, Power steering Fluid, spark plugs, 4 wheel alignment. Always ran with 99 Unleaded, and Cataclean / fuel system cleaner periodically. Car has been a work horse and used as daily driver since I bought it, 60/40 highway/non highway miles, only spirited road use, car has never been tracked or driven to the extreme. Clutch last changed in 2016 and still has lots of life left on it, bites perfect, low biting point still, no signs of needing changing anytime soon. Age-related maintenance: Car has had thousands spent over last couple years replacing number of age-related parts that have come up including - Radiator and hoses, various suspension arms, Y-pipe, Oil Sump, Rocker-Cover Gaskets, Coil packs w. spark plugs. To Sort: 1) Car has minor misfire P0300 but still perfectly driveable and becomes even less severe after fuel treatment is used (used to go away completely, but unfortunately not anymore). This is due to the Fuel Sender/Fuel Pump needing replacing, which is a common part to be replaced after 100k miles on older Zeds. (This car is still running on the original factory unit even after 125k miles, a testament to how much this car has been looked after / driven well). I will be cleaning the throttle body / MAF sensor and performing the relearning procedure on the ECU soon, as it could even just be this that fixes it. 2) Passenger side Xenon dipped beam Bulb not working, needs new ballast (£30 part from ebay and quick fix) all other lights working fine. 3) Window washer jets not working – they were weak for a long time, now stopped all together, again I imagine not a difficult fix. 4) Passenger side window motor extremely weak – needs new window motor fitting (£35 part from ebay) and about 1 hour labour. Good YouTube videos online, wouldn’t be too difficult to DIY. I have spoken with Jez at Horsham on email about all the above, he can change the fuel units and fix all other things listed, as well as give it a fresh re-map, looking at £1k-£1.2k total, parts and labour. If just wanting the essential work doing (fuel units to fix the misfire) and forego the re-map then you’re looking at around £500 parts and labour. Not desperate to sell, gauging interest, still questioning myself for listing it every time I get in it tbh, but do have my eye on something new. If there’s little interest then I’ll just be getting Jez to sort all the above out, enjoy the car this summer, then maybe re-list later in the year / after MOT next year. Pictures taken 15/03/2024:
  17. Cheers fella, its a very cool looking item that's for sure. Do have my annual service in the next couple of weeks to do 😁
  18. Top man on the case!! Can't wait to see her back on the road
  19. I understand that there is not a bonnet open/unlatched warning on our Zs.
  20. Welcome along, that looks like a good example.
  21. I had a new impeller fitted and used vortech themselves in the states I took the opportunity to upgrade to the si impeller over the sci which netted a few more psi I definitely wouldn't trust anyone other than vortech to do the job and I don't think they will sell you parts This being said I did come across a UK guy the other day thats rebuilding a load of chargers and seems to do things correctly so might be worth a chat with him regarding the aftermarket impellers you talk of https://www.facebook.com/UKSuperchargerRepairs Good luck
  22. Engine will be done end of march hopefully in and running end of April Just fitting it in around all of life's commitments 🙄
  23. £700 reduction in F Type R insurance. Interesting. Anyone looking for similar car have a look at the rates. Offset by increased used car costs approaching summer
  24. Great review. I bought one specifically for the last part of your post - my OEM one has died taking some of the arch liners with it :(
