scotchegg

HI I need / been told by a dealer garage i need new Brake Pads and New front bearings on both sides. The cost quoted is too high, is there a good independant garage operating i can get a second quote from? Thanks guys Pete

Would be great to get a few noob answers guys and perhaps make this sticky? I have a 350z black with scuffed stock wheels at the moment with a desperate need for new tires! CS will vouch for this. So , my options are.. repair stock 18" wheels and buy new 18 tires. Buy new 18" alloys and New tires. buy new 19" alloys and New Tires. I have no ideas on the pros and cons and costs of this so would love some advice. Questions at the moment are.. What are the benefits of 19 over 18, is it just they look bigger? Are there any cons of going to 19 inc? Does the alloy size restrict my tires options? What do terms staggering, spacing mean, and anything else i need to be aware of when making this alteration? is there a good alloy place in birmingham to visit for styles, fitting and advice? thanks for any help on these questions. pete

thanks guys, email sent ....

The serv join was on my stock exhaust we weilded last winter, but its blowing again now. I could go see if they can weild it again, but in truth i think its time to bit the bullet and get a new exhaust. Anyone selling any or have any advice? I am looking at miltek or nismo for sound and looks. Other than this i know nothing about exhausts! hell i brought the car last year with a hole it in without knowing!

Sorry guys should said, anyone able to reccomend a good one in bham? Thanks

Ok disaster. Reversed into a post today, will get a picture up tmrw. Basicly its back left passenger side, various scratches on the back panel side, and a bit of crush on the join to the passenger back side pannel and a bit of dent. so 2 panels effected. Should and how much will it cost to get them repaired, if they even can be? how much for 2 panels?! black! or what about a body kit?? stressed out, in birmingham and looking for advice

Only a few weeks into ownership and loving it . Had some mpg fun a few days ago , i drove from bham to solihull , about 10 miles. Late so little traffic, i cruised at 30 asmuch as i could, sometimes 36 when it was 40 . I pulled of in 2nd , dropped to 5th next then 6th. Put it in neutral and rolled at 15/20 mph downhill! Got exactly 37 mpg

lol, I am looking at all options! Your champing me on the custom option mate! CS has a few options I want to look at, inc a blueflame? any idea on sounds? My worry , and i am going to call admiral tmrw is the impact an exhaust has on insurace if you do not replace it with stock? I am not after any performance gain or louder noise over stock OEM tbh. Just want a good looking (thick back tips like OEM) and nice low sound and nice price.

was up at 730am cleaning her today! That brake dust in street lighting at night looks so dirty on black! Also first day wearing shoes today, damn you feel every kick through the pedals!

Hey Guys Is there anyone who can take a look over or knows a good garage I can take my car too for a quick check over? I am not aware of anything been wrong with it mind, its noisey, heavy and clunky?! But to be honest I have stepped up from a fiesta 1.3 zietec, so i am in whole new ball game now. So it would be great to have someone take a look over it, listen to it, feel it and confirm that everything is as it should be who knows 350s. Does this make sense or am i been silly? thanks

Oh boy! Issues Elbow on heating seats switch! can i get a cover!? Cabin condensation? Pros! Tunnels!!!

Thanks guys, not sure what to do with this! I am not mechnical so had hoped for peace of mind from a warranty! I will be test driving tmrw, so if you have any advice on what to look for that would be really appreciated. I am aware of clicking from the drive shaft? Not sure if this is a deal breaker or not? Also the sync issues for 4 -5/6 in gear changes? So again if anyone has any advice or tips on what to test for when driving it would be great , again i am not mechanical so it is all new to me. thanks

HI Guys I am buying a used 350z, 46000 miles, 05. Picking it up tmrw after a fresh MOT is put on it. Would you say its worth getting a warranty and if so with who? I dont think anyone will cover the clutch as it is wear and tear, but other than this does anyone have any guidance on this? More importantly should i go with a Nissan warranty or somewhere like warranty direct? thanks for any help, heres hoping i never need to use a warranty!

Hi, thanks for leading me in, i am not sure on import issues? And not sure if i want thw body kit. But happy to come take a look to see in the flesh as its local to me!? Drop me a pm with mb and i can arrange a time? Likely sat as work is frantic this week.

maybe? depends if its worth the trip
