Hi all, used to own a 350z until 2013 and I'm sort of thinking about maybe getting another sometime soon in the future. Problem is it cannot be my main car as it is not practical enough. How many members have a 350z as a 'weekend'car and would you recommend doing it? Aside from the initial cost of buying the car, how much extra would the car cost me to keep the car per year? I bought my current car is250 thinking of a compromise I.e. rear wheel/v6 engine. I really do like the car but it is too refined. I missing the 350z loudness (Berk HFCs) and torque... It would be good to hear from you Thanks

So would you say I am better off finding an import company here in the UK rather than one over in Japan?

Hi, I am not sure if this is the right section or not but I just wanted to ask if anyone has had the experience of importing their own car from Japan. In the last few weeks I have been reading up on importing from Japan. Sure there are UK importers which will get the car here but then the price that I would have to pay is more than what I would have thought. I see that many Japanese car owners will sell their cars in an auction and traders which have a license can bid on the cars. I have been looking around and I see mixed reviews about importing your own car from Japan. Some people are under the impression that its a great thing to do but others are not too convinced. I have also read that you can check out the legitimacy of a company by looking at a Japanese government website. My question is has anyone used a Japanese import company to buy their own car and is it worth it? Secondly is there a company you recommend? Does anyone have any tips for me? Any other information would be welcome. Thank you in advance

Still for sale?

Ahh I see. Well its a good job I came here first May as well go for the top link in my last post

Yes my car doesn't have xenon lights. I've read reviews on HID kits and some people have had bad experiences with the 'cheaper' units which make me slightly nervous now. After reading different post in different forums, some people have recommended: http://www.ebay.com/itm/330379335700?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT and http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/h7-canbus-pro-hid-xenon-conversion-35w-kit/ Any others people may recommend?

Hi, yes i have seen the thread but i need the whole kit (ballasts etc) rather than just the bulbs

Hi, Just wanted to ask if anyone can recommend me a place/website to buy a hid kit, I'm looking at spending a approx of £50ish. I am looking for 35w/5000k Thank you in advance

Hi I have spotted these LEDs on eBay, they are DRLs and indicators,hard to find. What do you guys think? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=191245769252&alt=web http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/191245769252?nav=SELLING_ACTIVE

Ah nice. Thank you for your replies. I had no problems with rust etc when taking them off so thats got to be a good thing. Will take a picture of them tomorrow and put them up for sale on here. Thanks very much

I don't own a 350z anymore however I stumbled across some catalytic converters which I had changed for Berk HFC in Feb 2012. My question is, someone has told me they are worth more to the scrap metal place than they will be if I sell them as they are. Is this true? Thank you for your replies in advance

Does it make a difference what type of parking it is. I.e. permit holder car park etc

Thanks @Ricey. Does this still apply this year? I've been reading there was a few rules that changed last year. My cut off date for the first 2 weeks are on Sunday

Hi all, Bit of advice needed if anyone knows. I am normally very careful in where I park, I do not leave my car anywhere in which I may get a ticket. I went for a wedding last weekend and I was told I could park opposite the building. When I got back to my car I had parking ticket. Foolish I know, I should have made sure I was 100% allowed to park in there rather than park in there, but what’s done is done and now I am looking at having to pay a fine of £60 to Inner Guard Security. I’m told Inner Guard Security cannot do this which is why I may get away with not paying the fine. I have been online and there are many people that have been in my position and have never paid the fine. I've read they do all they can to get the money from you but normally they just go away. Has anyone had an experience with this or does anyone know what to do? Should I pay it or just ignore it? Thank you in advance

Thank you to everyone who replied. I will try getting the air out with the bottle in the radiator neck I'll let you know how I get on.

+1 That's what I did, worked for me I don't get it, would anyone be able to elaborate please? Sorry

Do you have any tips to help?

Wondering if anyone could help me. My heater is always cold... Even when switched on max and on the highest temp setting. The car has no problems heating up as the needle sits just below the middle. I have searched and that led me to bleed the system, however it has not really made any difference. The only time I do get hot air out of the system is when I am constantly driving over 2500 revs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The tablet I have has BT,GPS,SD etc

haha..ohhh! green house in this weather would do the trick! :-P

I definitely put the seal back on as I remember debating to put the old seal back on or the new one. I have got to find someones airing cupboard to borrow. That should be an interesting question to ask

I will try this guys. Thanks :-D i doubt i will be able to clean the dullness on the inside :-(

When you put them in the airing cupboard did you just put the whole headlight in? Meaning you didn't take the headlight to bits did you? The dullness is coming from the inside of the light, this is the problem

Yes ive started to notice the inside of the headlight is starting to go dull. How do you suggest drying them? I could open them using the oven trick but from what I hear there a bit hit or miss when put back together again.

No mine didnt either, the funny thing is it disappears during the day but comes back at night which is confusing. Normally wouldn't the water just stay in there regardless?
