    Id have to sleep on it as theres a claim its worth £1126 but not in demand?! lol. How much would you sell yours for though. Theres a few imitations around including carbon for £400-£600 👀

    As mine is a genuine nismo made by Autech for Nissan it's arguably worth more than the mk2 nismo spoiler, however it's worth is as much as people are willing to pay. Just the upper blade is listed on z1 motorsports website for $1100. I'm not even sure you can buy a complete mk1 spoiler anymore unless you buy a replica . 

       It was just a thought regarding swapping, I'll probably regret it if I did 😁

    lol why you getting rid...More people want the mk1 spoiler 👀

    I'm one of the rare people that prefer the subtle look of the mk2 nismo spoiler, think I'm just getting old 😊

    Thats what a DRL lights seller said they do in US. Could get a trunk lot of headache though. Surely I just need 2 screws and 3M and shave the other clips off or remove them. I might not bother with this. 

     

    Im seeing not many people want the mk2 spoiler due to fitment issues

    Send it to me here in oz And I'll send you my genuine mk1 nismo spoiler 😛IMG20220227124424.jpg.880c5e80f29f578fab6a6536f7ba7894.jpgIMG20220227124652.jpg.e99005274305bdea22ad40afcd4bdebe.jpg

  4. My dad has just told me he's put his 350z roadster up for sale so I thought I'd put a link to the ad here. He's selling it because at 73 years old he's had enough of driving. He's owned it from memory about 7/8 years and has absolutely spoilt it. It's wanted for nothing. Serviced every year with full synthetic oil and genuine Nissan service parts. He only does about 1k Miles a year in it so it really has been taken care of. I'm in Australia and haven't been back home in a while so this is from memory but it's had. New roof, gearbox,diff oil changed, coolant changed. New drive belts, brand new cam covers inc gaskets. New spark plugs. New invidia exhaust inc high flowing cats. New OEM Nissan 350z shift knob. New roof motor, new window motors. Rays wheels refurbished. New Goodyear eagle tyres. There's probably things I've forgotten. It's done 55k and I'm guessing it will have a new mot. He's asking £8500. Here's a link to the add on piston heads.

  5. If you want it to fit perfectly you'll need the Nismo undertray and front section of the wheel arch liners plus the little triangular filler panels. If you want to keep your headlamp washer jet system then you'll need the Nismo jets and bumper covers although with a few mods you can re use the covers.

         You'll need to re position the front impact sensors or buy the Nismo brackets. Worth noting your washer bottle will be clearly visible through the hole where the DRL should be if you don't get Nismo DRL's. Also your aluminium bumper impact bar will be visible in a couple of places which is fixed with a coat of black paint. 

       You can swap over your Nissan emblem with a bit of patience and some foam adhesive tape. The bumper will have two holes where the Nismo badge should go but these badges can be bought cheaply from eBay.

      So yes it fits perfectly but it depends how OCD you are as too how far you go past just fitting the bumper

  6. You lot spend a bit too much time cleaning stuff on your cars rather than driving them :lol:. My Nismo wheels were taken out of the box, had tyres fitted and then put straight on the car, 2 years later they still look like new and that’s without all these concoctions being put on them :p . I think the older I get the less I can be arsed with all this polishing malarkey plus I think dirty sports cars kinda look cool B)

    this has got me paranoid :sweat:

     

    another spot to look out for is at the front of the rear wheel arches, there is some sort of plastic cover, that rather tha keeping the dirt out just acts as a muck trap and get filled with all sorts of muck. Its easy to pull it out they way and clear all the crap out when you have the wheels off. I'll try and dig out the pics of when i tackled mine during the first lockdown

    When I first got my 370, I cleaned that area out and I remember thinking that i was glad I’m in OZ as that amount of debris on a uk car would lead to rust.

  8. Weirdly , here in OZ we will be getting the new Z. Surely our market is much smaller than Europe and UK. I think our emissions laws our less stringent which may be the reason why we are getting the Z. So in 2023 we will get a new Z based on an old 370z (which was a re worked 350z)body/chassis with an old infinity engine!

  9. Not all HFC are the same! They vary in their cell count, the lower the cell count the less restrictive, more noisy and less likely to pass an MOT. Most are 200 or 300 cell count. Some also come with anti foulers built into the O2 bungs (these space the O2 sensor further away from the exhaust flow in order to reduce the chances of a check engine light being triggered). Also check what grade of stainless steel are they made from ?
