Boxster/Cayman 981s or 987.2 next step, Life after Z
GranTurismoEra replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Other Cars
Based on 8 to 10k Miles a year It would be 1.5 to 2 times what it cost to run the Z at its cheapest. Around £7,000 per year. That one had the brakes done recently so saving £2000 already. Its the bi-annual service that costs and who knows whats due next. When you add all the costs together including £730 tax, insurance its expensive thats why lots of GTR are just sitting for 6 months. If you add fuel, insurance, tax and service Zed was pretty much near 5k to run per year. GTR will be 50% more i reckon if a major service plus brakes needed to be done for example thats like 2.5 to 3k alone. It is what it is. Next time you see me I might be "sports" EV lol or back in a Z - Yesterday

ZMANALEX started following Differences between the DE starter and HR starter and Drivers seat belt buckle.
-
I can't help with new, however, plenty fully working preowned in stock.
-
We can try asking in Japan or USA if you're after a replacement buckle, sometimes UK and Europe discontinued part number but they're still available there.
-
For info, the drivers buckle is no longer available from Nissan. I sprayed a small amount of maintenance spray into the mechanism & it seems to have freed it up, to the point where it releases straight away.

Finally a sound clip and its loud. Second clip is with @Hansburger behind the wheel.

Differences between the DE starter and HR starter
ZMANALEX replied to shadowgoat17's topic in 350Z Technical
The fixing positions are different so not interchangeable. I have both types in stock at the minute.- 1 reply

Hello, I drive a HR and will be buying a new starter soon, as was wondering what the difference between the starter motors used on the DEs and HRs were? I think I saw someone say the solenoid position but cannot remember. Thank you!

The running costs would be crippling I'd imagine -

Hi Jay, Stoptech, DBA or TORQEN for the discs will be absolutely fine for what you're using them for, they're all good for fast road use and daily driving. TORQEN Front: https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/brakes/discs/246122-350z-z33-torqen-anchorz-street-high-performance-brake-discs-front.html TORQEN Rear: https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/brakes/discs/246123-350z-z33-torqen-anchorz-street-high-performance-brake-discs-rear.html Front DBA: https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/brakes/discs/246123-350z-z33-torqen-anchorz-street-high-performance-brake-discs-rear.html Rear DBA: https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/brakes/discs/476-350z-dba-4000-t3-series-slotted-rotor-set-rear-brembo.html Front Stoptech: https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/brakes/discs/495-350z-stoptech-discs-for-brembo-brakes-front-pair-slotted.html Rear Stoptech: https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/brakes/discs/509-350z-stoptech-discs-for-brembo-brakes-rear-pair-slotted.html (The Stoptech are also available in Slotted and Drilled as well as solely drilled). Pads, Ferodo's you mentioned are good, if you wanted some other suggestions - Stoptech and Hawk pads are also worth looking into, all three brands have great reviews. If brake dust is an issue, go for the Hawks. Also worth keeping in mind the Ferodo can be slightly squeaky at times and can have a fair amount of brake dust if that's going to be an issue for you As always, do feel free to message me if you need anymore help.

Found this on an EV forum discussing Chinese EV tariffs. https://uk.motor1.com/news/715061/ferrari-porsche-most-profitable-auto-makers/
- Last week
-
you can get coated, painted or bare discs, if they are bare any bits that are not in contact with pad will rust so bell and edge of disc, painted are fine but the finish doesnt last as long as coated, most descriptions of discs on things like autodoc will tell you about what kind of rust protection if any they have
-
this, just dont buy utter crap and make sure they are coated so wont rust, i just put febi ones on and have been for perfect
-
Discs don’t really matter tbh, so that makes your choice very simple

JayT started following New Brake setup
-
So after reading some threads and also talking to people locally. I feel my rotor options are: Tarox F2000 or DBA T3 Pad option: Ferodo ds2500 Also open to any new recommendations of setups people are running. Hard Road use but also use for commuting once a week. Performance from setup needs to suit both scenarios. Please can I have some help with this. I currently Tarox G88 rotors and Tarox strada pads (not a great experience) Cheers Jay

It looked great initially but it did become dull and yellowed again within a year - looking back on it - it would've been easier to sand it back and then spray some 2K clear coat on it - I ended up subbing them out anyway for the sleeker look of the DEPOs and to get rid of the orange reflector stripe - hoping to do something a bit more custom in the future
-
Yes sir for Nismo thats what its meant to be. or seen a few normal Zeds around 40k used and near new with hardly any miles on Exporter sites. In Japan used cars sitting at £33k and ST under 40k. Just customs eh. Few nice ones wish we had Russian rules. No VAT, No duties lol Doesn't matter though, these guys will have no choice but to lower prices the longer they sit there as more flood the market. It seems not many people are busting a gut to own one in Japan. A few coming up for sale in both US and Japan.
-
Is that 65k new?

Low Idle, where should I get service in Essex?

Haven’t checked yet although weirdly it seems to be a lot better when on a full tank of fuel? -
