If Nissan are correct then why do so many of the cars seem to have black chrome including the ones in there own press release. Was it an extra cost option or are they an after market thing.

Hey Guys I'm back again banging on about my wheels. I have had a reply from nissan japan and they are saying the 2 wheels they supplied are correct for my car. I know this is not correct. The wheels are supposed to be black chrome. Is there anyone out there with a yellow GT4 that could send me photos of there wheels or better yet I do know there is someone in the Glasgow area that has one. If that person could get in touch that would be great. Please help Thanks

I have four of those in that pristine condition stored I might be interested in them. Could you tell me how much you would be looking for and if not to much trouble send some pics. Thanks

That is the very wheels and if you look they are black coming through to chrome. They really suit the car and was so disapointed when I got the car back and the two damaged wheels were silver.

Thats good to know as I was told that the insurance company might offer me a cash settlement if they are unable to come up with the correct wheels.

Is there no hint of black on the wheels at all. Mine are black at the back of the wheel bleeding through to silver at the front.

Hi Guys I'm looking for advice. After having my beloved Z damaged by another motorist in a Megane I find myself with a problem. Both wheels were damaged in the shunt so the repairer at the insurance companies request and against my wishes decided to refurbish 2 of my lovely GT4 alloys. Needless to say when I got the car back the 2 refurbished wheels looked terrible. I complained and it was agreed that 2 new wheels would be supplied. When I took the car up today to have them put on we discovered that the 2 new wheels sent from Nissan were also a different colour to my wheels. Am I correct in saying that the wheels on my UY GT4 should be black chrome and not silver and does anyone know whether they are available from Nissan and why they might have sent silver ones despite supplying them with chasis number etc. Any adveice would be most grateful.

No it was Stainless Steel exhausts in Hillington, Glasgow. They also do great work.

Was that at a dealer

Hi Just had my Z serviced today by my usual local mechanic not robbing dealer. It was a full service plugs, oil and filter, air filter, fuel filter, window wipers and it only set me back £152 I think thats not bad. Granted I bought my own oil Mobil 1 ESP formula 5W-30 fully synthetic which set me back £40 for 5 litres. Does anyone else think this was a good price.

Was it Stainless Creations in Falkirk that you used? If so, they do very good exhaust work and can be recommended for a variety of other work, too. No it was C + C stainless exhausts in hillington, glasgow. They have made an exhaust for me for a previous car, they do good work.

I have had the exhaust repaired at a cost of £69 but unfortunately the car is now quieter than it has ever been since I got it 2 years ago. It appears to have lost the lovely exhaust note it had before it started to blow. I think I am going to have to save my pennies and get a new performance exhaust.

I have the car booked in at a local stainless steel exhaust maker that I used on a previous car. He says he can repair it as the rest of the exhaust is fine. Going to give it a go, much less expensive.

Thanks guys I will keep that in mind, still researching.

I would love the NISMO any suggestion on where to buy. £1200 is quite steep though. I have seen them online from the states for around $1000 which sounds a bargain does anyone know if there would be problems with this

I have had a slight blow from my exhaust for a few weeks now which I was trying to ignore, fearful of my wallet being emptied. Anyway last night the situation became critical and after investigation I discovered that the pipe leading to the back box has completely severed at the flange. I am now in research mode in a bid to try and replace the exhaust as quickly, cheaply and wisely as possible. CAT back from nissan comes in around £600 + VAT so I think a stainless performance exhaust is in order. I know a local company who could make me a bespoke one or I could go the NISMO or other performance route. i am looking for advice. Can anyone help. Thanks in anticipation

Hi and welcome from a GT4 owner in Ultra Yellow, stick out for one that shouts to you, thats how it worked for me.

Welcome from another newbie! 1. Dead bugs a bit of elbow grease when washing with Autoglym shampoo conditioner. 2. I had one of my black chrome GT4 wheels repaired for £70 at The Wheel Specialist, they have a web site. 3. I use a variety of products starting with Autoglym shampoo, clay, Autoglym resin polish, Autoglym extra gloss protection, either Autoglym wax or Collinite to give glass like finish, but it is a matter for personal opinion. Works for me thoug.

Loads of pics i will add some soon

I found **REMOVED** first and was happy with that, then I stumbled upon this site today and thought I would give it a go. Looks a great site so far

I'm from paisley. There are a few Z's kicking about near me maybe they are members as well.

I own number 141/176 in Ultra Yellow

Hi Guys I'm new here, I have had my GT4 in Ultra Yellow for about one and half years now and been a member of **REMOVED** for about the same time. Just discovered your site today and can't wait to get involved.
