I don't use underseal as it can dry and crack. I jet wash and then use Bilt Hamber Dynax.

Hi guys, recently acquired a lovely low mileage late 2017 Nismo and I intend on keeping it for a long, long time. I was wondering if anyone had undersealed their 350 or 370 to protect against the salt on the winter roads? I know it's a must-do on JDM imports, but mine is a UK release and I've read differing opinions on whether undersealing is worth doing or a waste of money? Any and all opinions appreciated 👍

Witherspoons in Edinburgh are a brilliant garage that deal with a lot of high end cars too. The guy Alex there and went above and beyond sourcing a really hard to get part that was keeping my old RCZ off the road. Not saying they're the cheapest, but they're honest and they definitely know what they're doing 👍 They'll definitely be the ones doing my first service and MOT in the Nismo.

Hello, I want to enable to honk noise when I press lock on the key fob, but I've tried the holding the lock and unlock recommendation and while my lights do flash twice the noise doesn't then occur after activating it, does this feature exist on the UK 370z? Thank you

I'm still replacing them heh, but I had done the bannana arms and drop links previously. It's pretty likely to be suspension related, bits that don't move shouldn't make noise. (Neither should the bits that move but obviously they will as they age)

Did you also experience noises like in my video or did you replace everything before they got to the state mine are in?

No worries, not really in a rush. passengers side is most important but would potentially take both depending on price and availability

Not had a chance mate. I will get this checked out for you asap. What side do you require? Alex.

I had my discs skimmed in Cambridge by a real Mechanical Engineer. The dealers call them to fix these issues. After a few hours went out for a spin and some hard braking and the vibration was gone. I dont see this issue ever going away for cars old and new.

Hey Alex Any luck with this strip?

yup those are gone 😛 I'm replacing mine atm, total front and rear refresh with rust proofing with the bits off. Should feel good as new and keep the chasis happy for another 20 years or so.

My Zed has recently started making some absolute terrible noises when coming to a stop and turning. I believe it’s coming from the front of the car, specifically the drivers side. I haven’t noticed any actual issues in terms of driving feel and performance. Just seems to be a sound at the moment but can’t imagine it’ll stay that way much longer. Spent the day today inspecting the front of the car and there’s not anything terribly obvious other than some bushings on the lower control arms and banana arms being in tatters. So I am hoping these are the cause of the issue/noise, but wanted a second opinion from others more knowledgeable than myself. I am going to attach a link to a YouTube video of the noise and some pictures of the bushings from both sides I’ve taken today. Hopefully these help.

DTI gauge will show it, you can get them for £20

Unfortunately Alex is spot on with this. I have a big brake kit which only amplifiers this problem. After changing discs/Pads twice and trying my best to clean the hub faces the problem still came back after a few hundred miles. I ended up having the discs skimmed in situ on the car and have had no problems since. The guy in Winchester who runs the company said he is very busy most weeks sorting out fairly new and very expensive sports cars with the same issue.

In stock and good to go same/next day: I should also have the hoses in stock as well. Just drop me a PM or DM if I can help further.

Hi lads, thanks for the feedback, my car is basically stage 1, but it's not loud enough for me to not notice heavy chatter. Is there a big difference between the competition clutch and the oem exedy clutch? I know the tarmacsportz flywheel is heavier than jwt, so would hopefully have less chatter 👍

Hi all, i need to change my valve covers as im getting slight pooling/misting of oil around the my current ones. Ive also noticed my pcv pipes are looking quite brittle and hard, is there a OEM aftermarket option for some new valve covers, gaskets and pcv pipework for the HR's, much of what ive looked up online appears to be for DE engines and I know the valve covers would be different so I dont want to risk ordering the wrong ones. Im aware I need to also buy some RTV sealant to put around the corner joints by timing chain housing.

Lad who had a 350z DE with aftermarket clutch and lightweight flywheel had barely any low rpm chatter. Getting out to a few meets can really aid in choosing replacement parts. Competition Clutch Nissan 350z DE (03-06) Stock Replacement Clutch Kit with Tarmac Sportz Lightweight Flywheel

Surfaces relating to DTV have got to be 100% clean, or the brake shudder will always return. ie: Inner wheel face to hub and rotor to knuckle etc. Always check DTV before and after rotor replacement.

Thanks a lot, pins and pistons have been replaced in calipers, forgot to mention. Never had an issue with Pagid before but possibly a bad batch, although I agree that new discs getting rid of the issue temporarily is suspect. I'll ask the mechanic about DTI gauge. Going to go after upper arms and droplinks next but losing patience with the issue now! Will keep you updated!

Hi there first time poster here, not an expert. I just wondered if anyone knew what kind of seats these were. This is from a 2005 roadster - not mine, sadly, I'm looking after it for a relative. I've worked out the tan colour is called "alezan", from what I've seen it seems relatively uncommon, the few others I've seen seem to be plain tan without the ventilated fabric centre? Was the ventilated style something that came with the GT spec? Also, I wondered whether its sat nav was standard equipment or an option? It took me a while to work out it's controlled by a tiny remote control and isn't a touch screen. Of course it's not very useful now we all use Waze and Google Maps, but looks like it was a sophisticated unit for its day. I'm curious whether people prefer to leave these be to preserve original features, or swap them out for something more up to date. Thanks for reading and thanks for any info.

Just returned from europe and done an underside inspection. i had an underside impact and i reckon theres a part missing from the engine guard,its a 2015 370 nismo,thanks for any input... Dean

The fact new discs and pads fixed it for a while, then it came back, suggests piston / slide pins might be the root cause. One pad isn't retracting, creating heat, warping the disc. I've never heard of pagid but copilot suggests they are not the best quality. Buy cheap buy twice is the old saying. When it comes to brakes and tyres I always buy the best I can afford, they're the things keeping you alive! Do you have a DTI gauge to check disc runout again? If that's okay then I'd lift the front, get a crowbar, and check every joint and every rubber on the front suspension for play.

I may have this strip in stock. Let me check for you.
