Fellow Yorkshire man

Glad you got it sorted. What's the cost of a pump?

Looking good.

Does anybody know if these pipes will fit onto my existing scorpion rear section?

Mike

could be worth looking at the non return valve in the washer water pipe at the rear as these fail quite common and the water then either does not come out at all or only dribles out ,best using after market replacement as if like the front one (locate under wiper scuttle in brake fluid cover area nissan wanted £22 for the valve as it only comes complete with pipes lol.

i think the rear valve is acutually in the tailgate but sure a more knowledgable Z er will come along soon and let you know exact location

All sorted, was the non return valve.

thats tomorrow sorted then!

Alls going well other than a few teething problems.

Hi guys,

Had a search and can't find anything here.

The rear washer jet dribbles water out? front and headlight washers are fine. Cleaned the jet holes to see if that is the cause, still can't find the problem.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

Added some pics, taken with iPhone, so not great.

wouldnt worry too much if you can get it sorted - i think a Uk GT car with 58k was a steal at 7k, all the ones ive looked at have been closer to £8 - 8.5k. theres always the inevitable things that will need doing straight away.

I think that's why I'm not that fussed, it's gonna be used as a weekender so these issues will be sorted but in no rush.

Really enjoying the car though, sounds awesome

Hi guys,

Had my 350z Gt for just over week now.

Generally happy with my purchase but think I could of got better!

Introduction link - viewtopic.php?f=3&t=53108

I saw the advert on here which had a link to eBay etc... Car looked good, description sounded fantastic, went to look at the car with my limited experience with purchasing second hand cars.

Typical of me to be impatient and want it there and then.

Got the car for £7000, 58k on the clock, it needed rear tyres straight away (cost £360) last two services not dealer and needed a good clean inside and out.

I had the car cleaned professionally inside and out, not quite a detail but polished etc... On closer inspection to the body work the amount of scratches and stone chips became alarming! Plus it looks like the front bumper has had a respray to the near side!

Looking at the rims now they have been cleaned properly, they are badly corroded and pited. The alloys are rays volk gt-c, can't believe someone would let these £2500 alloys get into this state! It's going to cost £400 to have them refurbed.

To add insult to injury when taking the car for drive and giving some beans on a national speed limit road, when changing from fourth to fifth there is a grinding/crunching noise. This sound like a synchro problem!

Anyway I'm generally happy with the car just thought I'd share with you.

All in all its going to stand me at around 8k when all done, it will be a fantastic condition car when I'm done with her.

Moral of the story being don't rush into buying, always look at a few and take your pick!

What would a new box cost, supply only?

hi guys,

New here, just purchased my 54 plate 350z (picked up Wednesday).

When accelerating and changing from fourth gear to fifth there is a slight grinding noise?

Any ideas or experience with this?

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

Morning!

Im in need of advice on tires, the car has volk gtc 19" wheels.

Rear tire's need replacing, they are 255/35 at the moment, would 275's be a better option?

Thanks

Just trying to sort insurance out for it, what a mind field

Lost all my no claims (15 years) because of company car use!

I'm 36 years young and daft quotes are coming back like £800!!(through sky) My postcode area is good, so need to sort something.

It's going to be used as a weekend toy so need to keep it realistic with costs etc...

Wish me luck.

Morning guys,

Purchased from a member on here.

Should be good fun!
