Hi I will take the blue tooth and the net if you still have them, 100.00 for both ? Garygtd

If the Blue tooth adaptor has not sold I will take it off you?

Thanks Guys

Can you recommend pads and rotors for my 2005 Nissan 350Z GT please its done 31K miles running 310bhp with Abbey tuned and built engine. Thank you garygtd@btinternet.com

Its years since I did any spannering, too old and spoilt these days for that sort of thing, however it occurs to me I could spend more on the brakes if I did the installation work myself. It would be on my drive so nothing exotic in terms of facilities. From memory the biggest if issue is getting the calliper bolts undone and then the screw that holds the rotor to the hub, is this correct or should I play safe and let the Garage do it.

Its not urgent as the issue ( worn rotors) and pad wear are not great just need doing before next service or in the next 6K miles , Can anyone recommend a set of new rotors and pads foro the front and rear pads please. Car is highly tuned at Abbey so need decent brakes, although current are not at all bad (I think EBC, probably yellow stuff) Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted (appropriate getting used to you lot) ! 2005 350Z GT 31K miles

Mines got a horrible painted cap or top would like to change it ,apart from going back to black OEM any thoughts?

All the internals have been done on my car by you guys, in terms of more grunt what can I do next apart from forced induction. I am up for spending some mone but £6 to 9K just feels wrong. Nox maybe ? garygtd

Wanted a Supercharger kit to fit 2005 350Z, would proffer a complete kit if possible.

OK how do I post pictures? When I post pics I will go over the mods. Engine carbon bonnet Wheels Exhaust etc etc

Hi guys& girls after a long search, nearly 12 months I have found and secured my dream Z. She’s a 54 in Kuro Black with Tan leather so a UK GT car. Done 31K miles with a list of mods !!! I live in Exeter , Devon any other members down this way would love to get involved in the Z scene locally. Now all I need is a recommendation on a good independent in or around Exeter to look after it for me. Used the Engine Tuner in Plymouth before just a fag to go down and back each time.

Some basic question for the great and good amongst you:- 1. What is a good bolt on kit on the UK market and what sort of money am I looking at? 2. Do any second hand ones come up from time to time? 3. Should the engine internals be replaced to higher spec before running any boast from charger? Yes I realise I will need a new bonnet as well. Does the 350 become almost un-drivable with this sort of power?

Hi anyone got any feedback as to what may have caused a gearbox failure on a 350, syncomesh has gone on 5th although I suspect others are weak as well. Is this a weak point on 350s? Car has done low miles on a 54 plate 2005 car, with full service history. What’s the best way forward look for a second hand box or repair the existing one?

Thanks guys that clears that one up !

Hi all sorry to show my ignorance but what does a Carbon fibre bonnet look like on the under side saw one recently and it looked like glass fibre to me or is that how it should look on the unfinished side. Or was this a cheap fake masquerading as Carbon Fibre.

I see some poor sod has brought it will they never learn, or was it one of you guys in which case good luck.

Hi all apart from what’s been said already I would offer this. A great many on hear will have cut there teeth and grown up on front wheel drive in fact apart from BMW just about every main stream car manufacturer only does front wheel drive. Forgetting all the obvious differences in style and one being cool and the other being a FORD. Until you have driven RWD and pushed it through some bends on a B road you will never know how rewarding or how much of a rush it can be. What I am really trying to say is the cars are and will be so different due to the drive train and that’s were you need to start your thinking from. Hope this helps.

To make matters worse I see the advert has not been changed to reflect the change of engine or the true mileage at 60K not 27, somebody is going to get caught

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3616862.htm Thought this was it , Or am I panicking for no good reason. Having to do the deal from a distance never good but its what you have to do with specialist cars. Just about to hand over deposit via Debit card, checked out Cat D issue OK. Did HPI and mileage does not stack up. Phone dealer back a he says engine changed at Japtech at 27K miles with new clocks mileage is actually more like 60K plus a new engine I did not know about. Do I walk or do I buy?

Anyone have any info on FL55 VPA ? Looking to buy this car? Thanks anyone ewho come sback with any info HPI checks out OK.

Sorry guys I realise this will have been asked a million times before, how do I post pictures to the forum, I have searched and cannot find any help. Yes I know!

Been looking now on and off for about 6 months, and I just cannot find a car that fits my bill. Looking to spend between 8-9 k for a nice 04-05 coupe. I do not want a roadster handling issues and water leaks just **** me off. I hate Rays Alloys the most hideous wheels I have seen on any car, but apart from that up for anything really. Ideally would like a Blue GT, but they are as rare as rocking hoarse pooh! Must say some really odd pricing going with Zs at the mo I have seen 2003 cars up for as much as 2005 are you guys nuts or what. Scooby owners appear to have a much better handle on the worth of their cars, maybe Z are more individual. Been looking on Piston h, flea bay, aut t, any other places I could look, and no rude suggestions please?
