A pair of door handles, unmarked and ideal for colour coordinating. As most will know, the 370 had 2 differing manufacturing materials, some were all, plastic construction, others were cast aluminium frames with plastic handles, these are the latter. Both types fit exactly the same. £40 inclusive of postage. Really isn't a big job to change them over, there again not much on the Zed is.

Coming towards the end of my restoration and I've got an issue with the brakes. New pads and discs fitted but when I turn right the abs kicks in and gets to lock the wheel up, quite scary! I've pulled the hub and sensor to take a look. Sensor looks fine but the hub has some weird marks on the abs ring. Assuming this is the issue I've ordered freshies but just wondering if anyone has seen such an issue? I'm not sure what cas causes the marks either 🤷🏻♂️ Car turns fine with abs disabled btw.

Help? 370z Exhaust System Issue.. Not sure what to do?
Tidgney replied to Tidgney's topic in 370z Technical
Hey Both! I Appreciate both responses! Ye it's just the shields on the cats as the cats passed the MOT absolutely fine. I think I might find out if they can take off the shields and then go from there. I Don't use Nissan for repair work just because they're a bit to far away but I can't fault the Nissan dealer I do use, they've been unbelievable, they do stuff for free for me, get free european breakdown recovery and courtesy car. I suspect a more unique dealership than most of them though haha! Alex I may reach out depending on what the buyer wants to do and the garage as well. Thanks again, really do appreciate it! -

Help? 370z Exhaust System Issue.. Not sure what to do?
ZMANALEX replied to Tidgney's topic in 370z Technical
As has been said, just remove the corroded heat shields, but only if they are badly corroded. Exhausts tend to rust, so general cosmetic rust does not affect its performance. Aftermarket exhaust, including Y section, is the way to go when the time comes. I am dismantling a 370 early next week, so parts will soon be available, but reading your post, it appears that replacing these parts may be unnecessary. Alex. -
You too Jer! Will keep you posted if I find anymore Z goodies

Help? 370z Exhaust System Issue.. Not sure what to do?
Keith D replied to Tidgney's topic in 370z Technical
If I wanted to keep it stock, I'd rip the rotted cat shields off (they can't fail on rot then can they) and then get an exhaust from any decent exhaust centre. I wouldn't touch a Nissan dealer with a barge pole because I wouldn't want to be paying their hourly rate. If its the CATs themselves that have rotted through and not the shields, I'd buy a used pair of CATs (off ebay or someone breaking a 370z) If I'm keeping it, I'm fitting HFCs and a sports cat back £1800 ~ £2000 budget. -
Thanks again Mike, much appreciated, and nice to meet you 👍

No I haven't, I was worried this might do something to the immobiliser. It's in the shop getting some paint repairs at the moment so won't be able to try it just yet.

Hello! So slightly weird situation! So I'm selling my car (Never had any issues with it, and not in any big rush to sell it) been passing MOTs fine, Nissan filmed underneath it and it has been fine etc. Anyway had a buyer (They're still interested, I've mentioned you guys to them), buyer asked for MOT so had no issues with doing that as anything it's ever needed was done immediately. Came back with rust and specifically the cats. Now I've gone to the other garage (I use one for MOT, another for Repairs and Nissan for servicing) I use near me and they have said it's the shields on the cats as it passes emissions fine. They did say it will probably will need a new exhaust at some point in the future and again was fine with that so asked them to get a price from Nissan for full exhaust system. Nissan came back with one price I said go ahead, then Nissan said o wait that doesn't include cats and they are £1,000 each + VAT. I nearly fell of my chair (As did the garage I use). Just after an opinion on what you guys think would be best. I have kept everything OEM, but Nissan quoting £1.4k for the exhaust system (Without cats) then £1,000 each + vat for cats that seems extortionate to me. What do you reckon? Is there a cheaper place to get OEM parts or should I be looking at a different exhaust for it at this point? I'm just worried if I get high flow cats which I've looked into that it would fail an MOT but I guess wouldn't know until they're on? I assume all Mods are going to be HFC to? Literally sat here scratching my head so confused what to do! I love the car, so want to do whats best, especially for the new owner to but it's like the biggest conundrum ever. I swear the car doesn't want to leave as it blew it's radiator the second I put it up for sale and nothing has ever gone wrong with it apart from a door actuator before that!

Have you tried (whilst the alarm is going off) putting the key in the ignition & turning it on?
