  1. Thanks for the advice guys. Firstly I cant try the spigot method as the spacers I have are flush and there are no Lip. I cant run these wheels without spacers due to arms being close, and they are touching inside slightly on full lock. I think my next move will be to re torque all nuts, then swap some wheels around and see if there is any difference. I am more than sure it is wheels that need balancing as my last set of 20" wheels were put on exactly like this and ran fine. Thanks for the help guys! Ill let you know how I get on. I have also done some googleing and found this place called Vibrationsfree who do on car balancing but they want £70 to balance the front wheels....
  2. where abouts did you get this done, and what did it cost? Would you say it was money well spent?
  3. I dont understand though, because I was running a set of 20" wheels which were perfectly fine, which were also balanced by my tyre Guy. Im think being 22" the wheels are harder to balance. And the wheels are in MINT condition, not a scratch on them so definitely no buckle, plus when I had originally had them balanced they were hardly out.
  4. I thought it maybe other issues but other older vehicles seem to have the same problem and got it solved by doing an On car wheel balance....
  5. No, the wheel doesn't fit over any sort of centre bore, as I am running spacers. It is 6 stud which apparently does not need a centre bore as there are enough studs available to centralise the wheel. I ran 20" wheels the same way and had no problems. I am certain that it is the wheel that needs balancing!
  6. Yeah, the wheels are straight, no Buckles, dents or curbing! There is no vibration until you do about 75-80, at around 90 the vibration is nearly gone!
  7. Hi guys, wondering if anyone can help me out. I have some 22" wheels on my landcruiser recently, and Im getting a terrible vibration through the steering wheel due to the wheels being Unbalanced. I have taken the wheels back to my tyre guy, but every time he re balances the wheels there is no improvement. Also it is definitely the wheels as my previous set were fine. I have heard about getting them balanced on the actual car, does anyone know of any places which do this, if so near London area or Milton Keynes, I don't mind travelling a bit. Any help appreciated! Thanks!
  8. For some reason there are not many aftermarket side markers for the facelift Bumpers!
  9. It should be fine on a temporally bases. It will not hurt the car. You may have to drive with the traction control off for those days.
  10. Looking good, Only problem about washing cars in winter is that a few miles down the road and its dirty again. I normally just give it a hard wax at the end of summer, and then clean the wheels every month during winter.
  11. I think once the rear wheels have a larger diameter than the front you will be fine. The ECU will re calibrate it self. So once the rears are bigger there should be no problem but I wouldnt go down a size on rubber, get something to fill the arches, plus your speedo will be inaccurate. I run 265 35 19 front and 285 35 19" rear.
  12. I would think that the UK models would be exactly the same, all 350z world wide would have the same clock spring. There is no variation... I think. There are similar clock springs used on other Nissans as well. Also it is just that middle bit that spins you need to replace, not the whole complete thing. I think Lee was selling them for about £90.... Not sure.
  13. I'm guessing lots and lots of porno's should have guessed
  14. What you planning on putting on a 1TB, let allone a 2TB.
  15. The spiral cable (also known as a clock spring) is not a cable, It is just an electric curcuit board with a sensor. These dont break, once you dont mess about with the steering wheel or steering rack. If your horn works then your spiral cable is fine. However, if the airbag has been deployed then the spiral cable sensor would be broken, even though I cant see how it would break, its just a circuit board. Or if you turn the steering wheel more than it should if the steering rack is out. I have been there. I bought a used one from a breaker for £20 and it worked. Once the airbag has not been deployed or any damage to steering components that would affect the steering wheel moving more than it should, it wil be fine.
  16. Yeh, those are properly the reasons why it is on then....
  17. If the air bag light is on then this is because of either a loose connection or taking out the seats and putting them back in. If the light is permanently on, then this says that either the control module has been removed, or one of the air bags have gone off (could be previously) and the control module was not replaced so the light will remain on until the control module is replaced. From what I have heard it is located in the middle section behind the gear knob. I think there is a main control module and then separate modules controlling the air bags. If the guy had broken the previous connection, do you know if he repaired it properly? Modules are very very expensive from Nissan ( £500- £1000) so your best bet is to get one second hand.

    I think the wrap and the sunset go well together. But the blue wouldnt be for me. That last picture does look pretty good.
  19. I never bought a sticker when I drove through..... Have a good time!

    I have a garage in North London. That may be too far away though.
  21. May i ask who you use? I have not long moved to MK and will be needing a tyre man in the near future They are in Blethchly and are called "The eight Bells garage" which is opposite to The eight bells pup This is the address 28 Buckingham Road, Bletchley, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire MK3 5HL
  22. I have a supurb guy in milton keynes who changed my 22" rims without a scratch and didnt break a sweat. He has been doing it for the past 15 years. Even better is that he charges £10 a wheel, which includes changed and balanced.
