I bought a keyring last week, it was about £15 including delivery. It's a white diecast Nissan 350z model keyring (1:64 scale) made by Autoart, who are well known for the quality of their products. The attention to detail and quality is amazing, they have also made the interior look real too! On the box, it has the Nissan logo and states its an officially lisenced product. I thought of having something different rather than the typical metal keyring everyone tends to get. I am really impressed with the purchase! I have attached a few photos for you all to look at: Enjoy! Hassan

Get a Toyosport one. Brand new will be less than that. Yes there have been a few fitment issues reported but have been very minor. A few members have fitted these on successfully including me. Looks and sounds very nice too

I would definitely go to an exhaust specialist and get it fitted. You sure the mechanic tried hard enough? Everyone's had minor fitment issues, that's what you get for buying a cheap exhaust. Once fitted correctly however, the noise and looks are perfect! If you ain't far from Santa Pod, I can get one of my boys to fit it for you?

Thanks for your reply Lee Is that a bad thing? Is it a big job? I was thinking its a heatshield too! Initially I thought it was a release bearing, but that shouldn't be rev related should it? I'll have to sniff around and see...don't worry I'll try not to poke my hands around in the wrong places I got a new exhaust system fitted on a few weeks ago, can this be related to that? Any other possibilities?

Hi everybody! Recently I've noticed a rattling sound coming from the engine bay area of my car between the 1,000-1,100 revs mark. First I thought it may have been a throttle/clutch/thrust release bearing or something along those lines, as I only heard this noise as I was slowly releasing the clutch pedal closer towards biting point. It is very noticable when near a wall or in tunnel as the sound echoes more, sometimes I can hear it when driving too and sometimes I can't. Over the last few days I've noticed it only happens between 1,000 and 1,100 revs, so I'm sure that rules out clutch issues? When you rev the car and let the revs drop past that rev point, you hear the rattle. Same with it going upwards past that point. What's the possibility of it being a heatshield? I really appreciate all your input guys! Hassan

I bought minebrand new from Sturgess Nissan for £84 with a one year warranty. I'm sure they have some more left if you were interested? The ones I watched on Ebay went for around £75 and they were used!!

Thank you for your reply, I will check it out today. also here viewtopic.php?f=35&t=8312&hilit=manual%60 Just checked the packaging that Nissan supplied with the adapter. It only had 1 sheet of paper explaining how to pair it, that's it The link you just sent is what I found a few minutes ago, thank you!! That explains how to do it very well!

Thank you for your reply, I will check it out today.

Sorry for hijacking your thread, just a quick question. I've heard the module has the capability to store contacts for voice activated dialling...how do you do this? Many Thanks, Hassan

Does the noise sound rattly? I think that's the issue I'm having! Thought it could be a loose heat shield or something... Labour wise how big is the job to replace the bearing? Thanks, Hassan

As you already know, I've been having airbag light problems. I fiddled with the middle connector under the passenger seat then did the reset. The light went away for about a week before activating again. This time I thought I'd secure it properly and see if it helps, upon doing the reset again the light went for a few more days and came back on again! Any suggestion? This is really frustrating me now Thanks guys!

Right...I've finally bit the bullet and gone for a brighter silver than standard with some metallic mixed in (course). The pictures are attached. Thanks, Hassan

The guy who's refurbing my wheels is suggesting a 'hyper silver' with metalic effect. He will be making me a sample tomorrow. Anyone got pics of this colour? He says its a couple of shades darker than the original.... Thanks guys

I was just speaking to my neighbour, he suggested going for a really light silver (lighter than the standard Matt silver on the RAYS at the moment). He says the wheels would look much larger and show the curvature of the spokes really well. He also suggested adding some metallic to it to give it the sparkle finish. What do you guys rekon? Has anyone got any pics of light silver metallic wheels?

Do you have a picture of this Pearl Panther Black colour?

LOL!!! Biased hey

Not for me tbh, I'm not mad keen on carbon fibre wraps(dinoc) though anyways, proper carbon though.... I'd still go with colour coded though. I'll definitely go for the colour coded option, I just need to sort out when to get the car into the bodyshop!

To be fair that was my original choice! But I was told the polished lip would corrode over the winter months due to road grit? Did yours stay in good condition? I'm really spoilt for choice! I'm running out of time Nah, tbh, i'm having more problems with tar spots in the rears I just found you had to keep on top of it in winter, which, can be a bit... fun Basically, I was rinsing the wheels with distilled water after driving in the salt and giving them a wash with optimum no rinse a few times a week, waxing every week and they also had gtechnic c5 on them. I may go for some winter wheels just to not be faffing with that this year I don't think you'll have that much of a problem as there really isn't much lip to the rays, it's when they get a bit large in the back, it starts to have a bit of a tumble dryer effect. Sounds like hard work!! But yeah that's true...the dish on the RAYS are much shallower. I'll have to consider this option then!! Thanks for your help

Do you know the paint code for the original wheel colour? Yeah my mud guards have been bugging me too!! I am going too get them sprayed when I get my front bumper done... My friend was telling me to wrap them in carbon fibre, what do you think? Thanks, Hassan

Hmm...do you think the wheels look much smaller in black? Does the tyre colour look off againts the black wheels?

I know who's Zed that is (not mine though, mine was at work at the time)

Hi everyone! My RAYS wheels have corroded quite badly and need a refurb. I can either keep them the original colour or go for something different. I am due to get them refubished this Friday. What colour do you guys rekon I should go for? I have attached a photo of the side of my car: I appreciate your help guys! Hassan

Thanks mate, will do that now

Hi everybody, I am after a pop charger for my Zed if anyone has one knocking about? Many Thanks, Hassan
