    Boot spring

    http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/108361-breaking-for-parts-2004-350z-blue/page__st__20 Breaking a DE right now with decent boot springs if you want to stick your name next to the other?

    I know, thirty quid in the pub no drama's but 30 on a spring seems, well, excessive. If you do come across another that'd be appreciated. Thanks matey.

    Have you got a link to the ebay version mate? Lowest i can find a replacement is £30.00. I noticed mine was bent the other day so I'm looking for a replacement.
  4. Not too far from me these guys so i may give them a bell before the weeks out. The missus works in york too.
  5. This thread is definitely making it seem like it's something I need to be doing. Mine's coming up to around 96k and the gauge (on the dash, I haven't had it measured 'properly' yet) is sitting between 0 and 30 when warm and idle, so it may well be in that risk zone. Oh well. Another job. Just got to find a garage capable of tackling it within a decent time frame now. My local has done all sorts on my motor but they haven't ever tackled this on any HR before which normally suggests an hour or so extra for head scratching. A frustrating and costly issue but needs must i guess.
  6. I'm assuming this is a "When they fail" more than an "If they fail"? I've put 90k on the clock since ownership of my HR. Although showing no symptoms I'm thinking this should be my next investment. As nissanman312 said, is there a link to the uprated gaskets? Think I'd rather get them in for my mechanic just to make sure he's fitting the correct ones.
  7. It's the only way i can remember my pin
  8. Think i need some lessons in choosing the right back drop, rolling hills beats bins every time. Think I'd have gone silver on a night blue too, looks great. Both dish and concave styles suit the 350 in the correct offsets. Nice.
  9. Well we're approaching that time of year again where new wheel orders start to go in and i figured I'd post up a few images of my HR on 18inch work MCO'S to anyone that's shopping around and considering this style. I was reluctant to go ahead with black on black at first but I'm really chuffed with the results and generally how mean it now looks. Rims are 9.5 fronts et22 and 10.5 rears et22 with a nice concave style to the rears, they sit spot on and for an 18 they look huge too. Pictures don't do it justice but still worth posting.
  10. ha ha the Plato / Neal rivalry does tend to stir up a bit of trouble but i like the guy. It's all action at the end of the day and although occasionally close to the line he hasn't crossed it in my opinion. I'm about 50mins from croft so always hit that for the full weekend but i managed Donnington and Oulton last year too. Matt is definitely a likeable chap, seems to have a decent set up in the focus judging by the rear end of last season but we'll see, always a difficult one to call.
  11. Should be an awesome season this year. I've got a few weekends lined up to absorb as much action as possible. Certainly wipes the floor with F1 in my opinion, although this does split the house somewhat. I'm a bit of a Plato fan and he's come so close the last two seasons so it'd be nice for him to take it this year in the Subaru. I'd like to see Matt Jackson get off to a decent start specially after the first half of 2015 and hopefully Sam Tordoff can rise through the rankings a bit this season. Whatever happens it'll have the usual scuffles and it's going to be ace.
  12. I just had that sickly excited feeling that my wallet was about to be reluctantly emptied on the front lip that had to be bought, only to realize it's pre facelift. Sad times. Great buys for someone, tempted to get a DE as well just so i don't miss out. GLWTS
  13. Best upgrade from stock system would be the Milltek cat back in my opinion, looks the part with the relatively stock looking tail pipes and the noise level is nice and classy. If you want a little more out of it later down the line you can run a set of Hi flow cats like i do. It's a topic that's been covered loads but it's down to personal choice, a lot of diversity on this forum. Welcome to the owners club.
  14. Hi mate, I'll take one too at that price. Pm me your details and ill sort the payment out. Cheers.
  15. Yeah they seem to be pretty sensitive even with a minor drop so i swapped them both and it's now silent again. I'll see how long i get out of them and maybe look at getting some adjustables next time they fail. I was just a happy it was an easy fix and something i could mess about with on my driveway.
  16. Yep, the Rev up is the same as the HR but except for the bonnet and the engine. I would have bought a HR but wanted the Azure blue which wasn't available for some reason. 7 years of ownership and i didn't know this. Quite interesting really. Although it took me 4 years to find the rear fog light switch.
  17. Did the up rev DE's have HR Lamps and Interior then,but a DE bonnet? Actually it's pretty much a HR with a DE bonnet isn't it cos it's on HR bumpers too. Excluding the engine of course.
  18. Just keep an eye on your oil pressure. Im running my HR on 92k and trying not to think to much about it. Research suggests its a 50 gasket that costs about 900 to fit.
  19. I'll take it off your hands mate.
  20. Ordered a 255 / 275 set up. Prefer a straighter wall. Stretch looks great when you're sat on your arse but think the 255 will suit the 17mm tein drop better. We'll see. Cheers for all the input.
  21. This is pretty useful. Appreciated. Would yo say a 255 and 275 would look better with matching mild stretch? If you run et25 up front i should be ok with et22. I'm lowered on S Techs too.
  22. Nice to see a fellow leaner too. I've been mocked for years about my driving style. Single arm stretched out to the top of the wheel and a subtle yet mildly gangster lean to the centre of the car. I solute you.
  23. well if you can manage a 265 i can run a 255 with no issues i imagine.
  24. So i'm not loosing it then. 255 front 275 rear suggests stock measurements and matching "stretch" in my eyes
  25. Is there any reason you went for a 245 up front? apart from the wild offset's of your rims? You run an 11 on the rear so at least with a 275 you achieve a similar stretch to the fronts. Thinking there's no reason i cant go for a 255 on a 9.5 et 22.
