Interesting read again

For the second time today, I'm just going to add that good tyres and good brakes are the most important things IMO. MPS4Ss FTW

You'll miss it What are you getting next? Have you got a sale thread up somewhere?

Yup, most likely a write off, might well be worth buying back an repairing with second hand parts or modding it Just make sure there isn't anything too daunting in the repair list and get a full list so you can see what is needed and tot up what you can find on here and ebay. As @MITZ@CougarStore said, the bonnet hinges have an actuator on. If anyone has removed them to fit gas-struts you might be able to buy some S/H. Good luck and at least no one is hurt

One thing I'm not sure anyone else has noted, if you are abusing your Z and really driving it hard, I'd seriously consider replacing any brake pipes that are properly corroded and not just the garage trying to get some extra work. The last you you want if you're nailing it down some country lane, is to stand on the brakes and suddenly lose brake fluid and your brakes. The two things that are most important IMO, are brakes and tyres.

I've been looking for a spoiler for my wife's 370z roadster as well, got to be honest, I don't like how that looks.

@Adrian@TORQEN might have one knocking about?

As others have said, sounds like severe uneven tyre wear which points to your geometry being out. Get it done at least annually and if you change anything then get the geometry done otherwise you may well get excessive tyre wear.

It does look better from behind, like so many things in life....

I have to second this, very wrong........ I was nearly sick when I saw the pictures......

They are big and heavy and you don't get the same buzz because they do so much of the driving for you, plus you end up going faster to get a similar thrill. The big negative for me is they aren't a pretty as the Z. That said, they are still great cars.

I've got to agree with Adrian, I ran the MPSS and went to the MPS4S, (not to be confused with the MPS4), they are an amazing tyre. Both my wife and I run them on our Zeds.

I'm still not convinced the proportions are right, I'll wait until I see one in the metal but for now, I say it looks no where near as nice at the FT1.

Damn, they are great looking cars in the metal...

Sorry to read this, there is no way it would ever pass and MOT with DeCATs on. They are great cars and worth the effort but it does sound like you've been done over a bit. As per everyone else's comments, see what the seller says, if you aren't happy with the offer, reject the car and the seller and the credit card company are both liable in their own right for your refund.

As said above, I always get mine properly hot before an MOT as I run HFCs.

I bought some uprated ones from from @Adrian@TORQEN. I think I will take out the boot weights as well at some point as I've put new poppers in, which are a different part number to the original ones, but it still seems to be random as to whether or not it clears the latch.

I've attached a copy of my letter (the advantage of having a full service history), this shows the VSC in April 2013 and that the issue was the steering lock. I never had any problem with it but I took it in and had it replaced anyway. Hope this helps anyone in future because £2k is joke for the issue. As per the other post by Wayne370Z, any proper Nissan dealer should be able to see on the system if the steering lock was ever replaced under warranty on your car.

It's not as bad as that

My 370z was subject to a steering lock recall through Nissan UK, it's a 2009.

Just read the whole thing, this sounds like it could be a good call.

Great build @blaqkaudio I bets it's fun to drive

I like it as well Although I would have also left off the porsche badge as others have said.

Thanks all I use two buckets, wheels last and with different cleaning implements, some funny long brushes and a cloth that is never used on the rest of the car. I keep my drying cloth handy in case I get any water on the already dried paint. Only after it is all done do I wax or detail.

Because they are the worst by such a long way, and even worse if you include the relative cost..........
