Hi and Rich. Hope the problems aint too serious with your car. Don`t forget a lot of problems can be sorted with the help of fellow zed owners at little or no cost to yourself. A problem shared is a problem halved
Give your local nissan parts department a ring you`ll be suprised In fact i just done it myself and was quoted £432 +vat. Suprisingly the older bonnet without the bulge comes in at £439 + vat, so if the new shape takes your fancy, its a bit cheaper as well.
Totally agree with the wax. If there was a wax on the market that could resist stone chips like the paintshield product, then a few £100 bucks for a tub of wax would be money well spent. The shine on my car is as good as it gets , whether you spend £20 or £200 on wax the difference would be negligible, thats my opinion anyway.
Many thanks to Pete for now having the cleanest 350Z in Wales! The only problem i`ve got is the car is parked in my garage and i`m too afraid to take it out in case it gets dirty again Jokes aside, Pete did a brilliant job, very helpful, and i wouldn`t hesitate in recommending him. His cleaning tips should help me keep the car in tip top condition too.
Yeah exactly, the trouble is i cannot source these parts over here, so the usa was my only option. So far the price is £70, which aint to bad really. If i bought 1 set then i would of paid £90 before import duty, so still happy.
As long as you take your time and bend it to match the curve then they shouldn`t become unstuck. Mine have been on for nearly 3 months and are still stuck solid.
Had a call from the shipping company UPS, and i`ve been stung for import tax TW@TS!!! Had to pay an extra £68 Will work out exactly how much the center caps are going to be after i try and get a good nights sleep
Every nissan badge on the car except maybe the steering wheel one can be replaced with a Z badge Another cheap mod is a popcharger to replace that restrictive nissan air filter, and it sounds good too
Hi mate, yeah they charged me £280 to strip and repaint my type r wheels, but their work was faultless. A few of my mates had wheels refurbed and again couldn`t fault them.
Nissan told me today that they wont replace under warranty as its not part of bodywork. My car is just over 4 yrs old so if it was still in the 3 yr warranty then they would have been replaced. Same goes for the wheels. The price for the wiper arms are £85 +vat for drivers side and £69+vat for the other Anyway stuff nissan, i went to Renowheels in Bridgend and they are going to redo my wiper arms for £15 and get a few marks out of a wheel for £30. Happy days all round
Good for you.. I've used Renowheel myself in the past and they do a really good job.
I used them to refurbish a set of type r wheels, and they done a superb job. By the way i`ve still got them, still wrapped up and never had tyres fitted. Part-exd for the zed before i got chance to put them on. Selling them if anyone wants them
