    Boot Release

    As above, thanks Colin for the link, this is a permanent fix and only takes 5 mins to remove a useless piece of weight. You don't even have to drop the whole of the plastic cover/liner, with a bit 'face pulling' you'll get your hands in by just popping 4 retainers and removing the blind cover retainers.

    Boot Release

    Just remove the weight 'assist' from inside the boot door, did mine last night and then just kept opening and closing it over and over with no dramas
  4. Congrats and welcome! You'll find this forum to be a very useful place to be
  5. +1 On the above. But, if you feel the need to ask how to do this then don't attempt it...then again if you knew how to do this you'd have done it by now and wouldn't have posted

    See the 370Z warranty forum...I know you've read it

    manual v auto

    You could of course just go for the auto, revel in the smugness that comes with knowing you wont be a possible victim to the manual gearbox problems. Do a search... And they say that the auto "detracts from the driving experience", so does waiting for a new 'box
  8. Seriously, it's wrapped up in plastic with all the fittings. I no longer have the 350, I've never 'done' ebay and guess I never will so it'll sit there! Make me an offer
  9. I didn't know they were so hard to find or so expensive, I've an as new one and all the fittings sitting in the loft...
  10. No comments on your choice of ride, your choice. You'll have nothing to lose by calling Adrian Flux, at least you'll get to speak to someone with knowledge on the subject and a genuine desire to get the lowest premium for you. And in my experience they will price match anyone else, they have done so for me over many years with the cars and bike. Also, God forbid, should you need to call upon their services in respect of a claim they really do offer exceptional service.
  11. If I were to catch my neighbours installing a wireless door bell to my Zed, well....
  12. And don't take this the wrong way, I would hate to see me and my Zed bent by an another one coming the other way on my side of the road after bouncing off the curb
  13. Not sure if you ever got a reply to this request? I've just removed my OEM Tonneau cover as I've sold the car, need to get rid of it really, if you still want a trace making I'll post one on to you. Thought I could pop in to Homebase a get a 'sample' of wall paper to trace it on!
  14. Unless you're doing track days, as even with 'spirited' driving the hubs don't get that hot, you can get away with this; remove all traces of scale/rust/paint etc, coat with halfords (or similar) VHT paint, thin layers-colour of your choice, when dried apply moderate heat-pop in the oven or use hot air gun so as to cure the paint, then for a more durable finish apply a coat of acrylic paint. Yes, ordinary rattle can paint I've used this technique on the hubs of my 350 and more recently my 370, as well as numerous other cars and plenty of bike engine casings etc. With the 350/370 I've used satin black acrylic as I've fitted black 20mm spacers and this just continues the theme
  15. Just answered my own question, are 350/370 wheel spacers the same? They went straight on with no issues
  16. Silver 350Z just coming into East Winch on the A47 and opposite Adrian Flux House
  17. I've got a 30ml pot of brembo gold touch up paint, free to a good home if you want to collect, Norwich area As long as you put me on the spotted list!!! So I can't even give the stuff away I've seen through your game now, all I've ever wanted was to be put on the 'spotted' part of this forum, I've tempted people with free breakfasts, and come and wash your car at my place and now free Brembo gold touch up paint (as supplied by Chrissyboy84) and you all ignore me Well I've got an as new rear tonneau cover for the 350GT that I don't need, I'm gonna burn it....

  19. Ideally you'll need to feed in some sprue (plastic rod of exactly the same material) for an effective repair. Just like stick welding. If you get the chance, and just to satisfy your own curiosity, try the superglue and baking powder...on anything. From cast alloy to sheet plastic, if you search you'll find a video clip of an oil filter that's been drilled, repaired and then pressurised. The filter ruptures before the repair gives way, like I said don't touch until dry, still got the scar! As with any bodywork repair, the amount of time and effort you put into the prep stage willl reflect in the finished article

    P2 Service

    If they get that all done in three days you're very lucky - my dealer had mine in for three weeks for gearbox/clutch problems! Fingers crossed it doesn't take that long. I took my 350 in for waranty work on the gearbox, dropped it of on the Monday before work and picked it up Tuesday COP, new box installed Yep, NEW FOC I know some dealers get a rough time but I really can't fault my local one.
  21. Doh! Sorry, should have said this also...hope you're OK! Just trying to eat dinner, do my expenses, watch TV, catch up on the forum....
  22. Just trust me on this one, do NOT touch it to see if it's dried! 'kin hot You'll be able to file it, drill it and even tap it, no probs. when you sand down the pastic keep it wet, warm water and a bar of general soap to keep the surface lubricated etc.
  23. Gouges, plastic padding will do the job. Cracks etc, stop drill them and plastic weld, or super glue liberally sprinkled with baking powder then another coat of super glue on top.
