+1 Nissan will use any excuse not to honour your warranty. Grin and bear it until the warranty expires then take it too someone you trust

The link doesn't work:rant:

Thats a good point, i would certainly be put off if a car i was looking at had an engine replaced. They never seem to drive as well. Although, if Nissan put a really good engine back in with a lot of care and attention, then it shouldn't really be a problem. Also, full documentation from nissan, explaining the reasons behind the swap, and the current mileage of the new engine, with proof, may even help the resale of a higher mileage car.

Look on http://www.z-store.co.uk/ Kev has them but they aint cheap. The other alternative is to sell your popcharger and get a Typoon or similar that comes with the intake pipe. I noticed he does carbon intakes as well.

Loving it!! need to get mine sorted now. Where did you get the wheel nuts from?, really liking them tooB)

Thanks Mark, found number

Thanks Mark, i'll give Kev a ring in the morning. Erm anyone got his number?

Nice one, what colour interior is in it?

what year is the car mate?

Thats fair enough. I did want to powder coat the plenum in sunset orange, but couldn't find anyone who could match the colour or take on the throttle body and powder coat that too. So aluminium silver spray paint may be the way to go, at the mo

Why did you get ESR to do it Ian? Did you mess the painting up or something?

In an ideal world we'd all like to buy well maintained cars from enthusiastic owners, but sometimes we have to finance all or part of the purchase of the car. At least we get a warranty with a dealer, thats the only good side though. By the way, welcome to the club, and the car looks nice too

Hi, looking for peoples views and experience on painting the plenum. I intend to take it off tomorrow so i can fit the spacer as well. I don't want to put the plenum back on until its looking like new. Polishing it means i'll have to spend time on it keeping it shiny, so thats out of the question. Powder coating is a good alternative but may not be able to do the throttle body. So painting it with a high temperature paint may be the best and cheapest solution.I've seen aluminium coloured paint in halfords so may go for that, unless, somebody comes up with a better idea.

8,500 grand is a crap price for your car but the market is so poor thats about the best you are gonna get for it. Make sure you put it back to standard if you can. I was offered 10,000 grand for my 2004 GT on a part ex! I paid 14,000 grand for it, back in may!!! Needless to say i'll keep it and enjoy it.

Looking at your sig Jay, i'd say the bumper is now on your car. If so, how much did it cost to have done. I've got a nismo bumper ready to be sprayed and fitted, just need a few quotes from reliable body shops.

+1 i agree

Congratulations mate As above i went for the satin, the car doesn't have any chrome so didn't go for that, the black chrome was nice and nearly went for them but i would say it wouldn't suit your car, down to personal taste at the end of the day

:lol: brilliant

This one is cheap http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/ww ... gLetter=57 Ok maybe not a GT, but for that price it just doesn,t seem right.

Never believe what garages tell you!! If you can't check them yourself get a free check from an independent, and have a look for yourself. It seems that Nissan tell most of their customers that "your pads are 80% worn, and need replacing very soon". They told me exactly the same thing when i took my car in for a service, so i went out and bought new pads and front discs, (performance ones, not oem) but didn't fit them for another 5000 miles. When i took the old pads off they still had 50% life in them. still changed them though!!

Hey G18FAN, dont think i've seen a pic of your car yet. Just read what kit you've got on your Z, and would like to see how she looks. Thinking about geting some bits for mine, need ideas.

Zeds look really nice in red and with the nismo kit just gorgeous. If you do find the "PERFECT" car with the bodykit already attached, give me first shout of your nismo bits and the wheels, cheers

Hi Ross and I'm just up the road in porthcawl. I've got the sunset orange with GT pack, its my favourite colour on a Z. You'll certainly have no trouble finding a nice example, some well looked after Z's on here. Hope to see you around in your new Z soon
