Used car prices have rocketed in general and whereas a year ago I would have expected £10k for my 370 it’s now worth probably £13k based on other listings. Values seem to have held a lot better than they did on my old 350 though (which I bought at the same age for £4.5k). Are 370’s likely to hold value well long term? Just wondering what people’s opinions are on the matter. Struggling to decide whether to let it go or not.

Will they fit a 370z too? Looking at listings on other sites it seems to be the same part? If so, will be in touch if cleaning the nozzles doesn't work! Cheers Cheers, not sure if I was looking at the wrong parts on eBay etc but the listings were all aorunf £50-60. If Alex has them for £12 though that'll be perfect, if they're different on the 350 then will have a look on Blue print, cheers

If it is the case then does anyone know if this part (from Amazon USA) will fit? Seems to be the same part numbers as the pumps on the UK site. Also, anyone have any clue if there will be import duty charged on it? It's a lot cheaper than websites selling in the UK... https://www.amazon.com/Windshield-Washer-Pump-Grommet-fits/dp/B009PC7IKO Found a thread somewhere about cleaning out the jets and nozzles first as they often get blocked apparently so will try that when I get a chance.

Been meaning to get this sorted for a while but now that there's a load of salt and grit on the roads is becoming more of a pain. The windscreen washers aren't working at all on my 370. Took it to my garage a while ago just to have a quick check on fuses etc but they couldn't find any specific fuses for the washers and as the wipers themsleves are working and so are the headlight washers, assuming it's not a shared fuse with those. Will take it back to the garage when I get a chance so they can have a proper look but before I do, does anyone know of any common faults? I'm guessing the motor or something has gone as there's not even any noise when I try to use them... Cheers

These are now sold, so thread can be locked. Cheers!

Bump on these as I'm now back from my travels so the de-cats are ready to be posted if anyone is interested. Will listen to reasonable offers. Thanks

Cheers, just responded, apologies I didn't see this sooner.

For sale is a set of Cobra de-cats suitable for a 370z or later 350z Models (HR engine 2007-09 I believe). They also come with the O2 spacers which I bought from Tarmac Sportz (already fitted in the pics). I bought these from a fellow member here when they were brand new in the box. I had them fitted to my 370z for about 50 miles but combined with my slightly unique existing cat back set up (which has bypass pipes) the noise was too much. In great condition, as I said only done about 50 miles. The O2 spacers did the trick of keeping the engine management light off while I had them on the car. The pipes seem to go for about £300 brand new on some websites and I paid £20 for the pair of lambda sensor spacers. Looking for £160 ono plus postage or collection from Cardiff Area. I am away for 5 week as of Sept 3rd but could arrange something before then so feel free to drop me a PM. Thanks, Josh

Shame to hear thats, guess my plan of buying a jet ski is out the window then unless I want to go to the fuss of buying a 2nd car just to tow it Cheers for the answers guys!

Might be a daft quesion as I know the 370 isn't exactly set up to be a towing vehicle, but I was just wondering if it's actually possibly to tow a small trailer carrying a jet ski? I've read elsewhere that the car somehow senses when there is a trailer attached and reduces engine torque? If that's true I would guess it indicates it is capable of towing something? Only looking out of curiosity at the moment but have looked at a Yamaha Waverunner jet ski and the dry weight is 498lbs or 226kg. Looking at a random trailer they seem to weight around the 135kgs mark so around 360kgs total. So if it is possible to tow, what is the maximum towing capacity and would people reccomend against it or not? Could it damage the car? Appreciate any advice!

Not sure if anyone here has experience or contacts that could offer me some advice. Looking to setup a business offering online services and will require a website that in a nutshell is able to host files and allow access to users, so will need some form of link with cloud storage or similar. I've emailed a few local web design companies so waiting to hear back but just wondering if anyone can recommend a forum I could sign up to for some quite detailed technical advice? Cheers

Looking at new rears, currently got MPSS but looking at Oponeo the new MPS 4S tyres seem to be only marginally more expensive are they generally considered an improvement over the MPSS? Main reason for this thread though, I've noticed that if I go down a size in the profile from 275/35/19 to 275/30/19's therer's a big difference in price on Oponeo and Camskill. Will the smaller profile size make much difference, is it not reccomended to change them from the standard size? Cheers

Don't know if you're interested in just decats but I'm selling a set from a 370z, as above pretty sure they fit HR 350's too. They've done about 50 miles since new and currently sitting in my spare room, along with the O2 spacers to prvent the check engine light coming on. Drop me a PM if interested...

Just to update people who have chipped in with help on this, I had the decats fitted last week. Fit was pretty straight forward and the spacers I bought from TS have done the trick keeping the light off, however the sound isn't quite right. Sure it's nothing to do with the decats as such as I know lots of people fit these Cobra decats and I have heard them teamed with other systems in the past and sound great but the cat back section of my exhaust is a bit bespoke and when I had it custom made I went back for them to increase the noise levels at the time and he used a little trick, putting 2 small 19mm pipes in that bypass the back box. Think the combo of this unusual set up and the decats has just made the noise too much for my liking So thanks all for the help but they'll be coming off tomorrow and will be up for sale if anyone is looking to buy

I see, need to have a look at the actual one's I have boxed up when I visit home but at leasts that makes sense to me now in terms of fittings! Cheers mate! can this be used then just to turn the light off whenver it comes on? Is it completely random how often it somes on, if at all?

Cheers mate! I'm sure my mates garage will know what goes where, but just out of interest, where do these go then? I take it the the lambda senors are either before or after the cats and not connected to the cats directly? Excuse the daft questions The ones your trying to stop showing a CEL are the in cat lambdas, which show a slightly different signal to the main, they are there for two reasons, firstly to notify if the cats are overheating which means that they are failing/blocked, and secondly as a back up should the main lambdas go down. Ah okay, I see. I assumed that the O2 spacers would attach to the system either before or after simply becuase I don't remeber seeing anywhere for them to attach to on the new de-cat pipes but looking at pics of the Cobra decats online now (mine are currently back home in my folks house) they do seems to have somewhere that the sensors would attatch to on the bend in the pipes? http://cobrasport.com/index.php/nissan-370z-de-cats-exhaust.html Does the engine running lean not cause any issues then? Loss of power/damage to the engine?

Anyone know if this is what I need? Will they fit Cobra decats for the 370? https://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/exhaust/hardware-accessories/blox-racing-cel-check-engine-light-eliminator-adapter.html

So with mine being Cobra de-cats rather than HFC's, could I still fit O2 spacers and have a chance that they would stop the eml light coming on? If so, how easy are they for the garafge to fit and does anyone have a link to a UK site for them? Can only find them for sale in US afer a quick google search.. Mine's a 370z btw, in case that makes any difference?

Rather than starting a new thread, just thought I'd see if you had any issues in the end fitting the decats? I've picked up some Cobra de-cats on the cheap, thought it was worth a go fitting them. I assume the standard cats are just bolted on and it's a fairly straight swap to take them off, bolt new one's on? Also, did you have any issues with warning lights/lambda sensors etc?

Bilt Hamber Auto Foam. Car Chem Snow Foam. Auto Finesse Avalanche. Whichever is cheapest (from approved vendors, not eBay randomers!). Any of those at 4-8% PIR will clean better than anything else (that I've tried... which is a lot). Perfect, cheers bud! Will have a shop around!

Just ordered one of those pressure sprayer foamers, thought they looked worth a go after seeing the vids! Now just looking for some snow foam reccomendations?

Fair enough! Where do you usually pick it up from?

Do you find using the de-ionised water to rinse at the end makes a big difference in terms of how it dries? As you say if I was to do a touch-less wash with any of these methods then I wouldn't risk trying to dry the car with a towel so something like that may be the next best thing for a streak free finish?
