Hi All, Just a quick question, I seem to have pulled off the license plate bracket at the front of the car looking for the tow eye I found the tow eye but now it seems that the bracket won't fit as it should and seems to hang off. Can anyone recommend where to get some new screws to hook it back into position or a new bracket.. Any help is appreciated. Jesse

Hi All, I have a JDM limited to around 112 mph, is there anyone in the Midlands or London that may have a way to delimit this to its full speed Regards Jesse

Nope that's not me but I know the one you mean as I drive past it quite often. I don't mind getting a new panel but will just have to figure out where to get it from. Might try the Nissan dealership and see what they say...

Damn have added here and on original post Will attach another daytime picture today when I get back from work.

All, Just wanted to know your thoughts on the picture attached. Was hit whilst parked up last night and found a letter from the perp (which was nice of her as she could have just left). Would that be a panel change or get rid of the dents and resprasy... Also are there any Nissan Dealers + Garages near Woodford (IG8) in London that would be good to deal with this sort of mess...? Regards Jesse Ps the marks at the rear just need to be cleaned

Oohhhh just read this tread as was after oil... does anyone know what/how to claim the Forum discount at Opie Oils....

Done and done. MIchellen PPS with the follwing Staggered setup Front 225/45/18 Read - 245/45/18 Phew better get them ordered from TyreLeader today then...

Thanks for the advice guys. So I'll be sticking with the staggered approach and going for Front 225/45/18 Read - 245/45/18 If not Pirelli's any other recommendations...

Ok just to confirm if I ran the following setup, would it work.....? Front - 245/40/18 Rear - 245/45/18 Regards Jesse

Oh ok yes in that case they are factory wheels.

Not sure what you mean by factory wheels, sorry but going to get them from tyreleader...

Al, just a quick question. Looking to get the following all round (front and rear), Pirelli P Zero 245/45/ZR18. Just wanted to check this configuration would work or would I need to go to 225 at the front...? Regards Jesse

Thanks for the info GMBallistic. Will need to get it out there to some shops to get a quote but good to have some idea. I'm blaming the World Cup. Think Fifa need to up some cash

That is good to know Any recommendations on shops for a respray...

This was parting at speed wanted to watch the football so wacked it in. Needless to say I wasn't in any mood to watch the football after. Yep it is a scrape and a half. Hopefully it's not a replacement job as that will take the ****...

Just did a stupid parking manoeuvre and scratched the front left of my 350z :blush: Any recommendations for body shops in Essex or Midlands are that I can try to get this fixed Oh have attached a picture... Yep I am that stupid

Hi all, My jdm is overheating and had it towed back to Leicester. Can anyone recommend a garage in lLeicester jdto get it looked at and fixed. Regards

Thanks for the info guys. Just finished bleeding, so there was no air in there from what I can tell, but on idle, the temp rose to 1/3 and with heater on there was still cold air coming out from the vents. So I took it for a spin to get the temp but didn't really move until I came back. Kept it idle, and put on the AC to stress the engine. Temp started to rise to 3/4 so I'm assuming the bleeding didn't work. Both Upper and Lower rad hoses were hot. Upper more so then than lower, but then I was putting my had in via the front of the bonnet and that could be hot from residual heat of other pipes. I popped the bonnet, had a look at both of the fans. Passenger side fan was active when AC was on, but on idle the Driver side fan was not on at all, even with the temp gauge over 3/4. I can see how a dead rad fan could cause temperature increase but just to confirm would it also cause cold air to be vented out when car is at a standstill...? Again appreciate all the help Regards Jesse

One more thing, is it possible to use the bleed valve to remove the built up air or is the link provided above a better method...?

Have started the bleeding process. Taking an age too cool down the bugger. Before I did, I drove it back from where it was towed too, and whilst the car was moving there was hot air coming from the heater, but during idle/standstill the heater was pushing out cold air (was set to max heat).

Thanks for that, appreciated Will be trying that tonight.

Thanks Alex, Is there a guide on the forum you might be able to point me too. Regards Jesse

All, I know another overheating thead, but please bear with me. First noticed the 350x (Fairlady) overhearting a little on the way to south-end-on sea whilst on the motorway. Hit traffic and the the heat sensor just hit MAX, at which point I could feel (i think) the fan kick in hard. So I pulled over at nearest garage, waited for her to cool, topped up some water (not a lot) and waited some more. Thought I would drive back to London, and 10 miles later the temp sensor started to shoot up high, then come back down again.... repeated this until it hit Max again at which point I stopped and called the trusted AA. They came out, did some checks. So there are no leaks, engine seems fine, but it seems there is a build up of pressure and that no water is being sent around the system as it should to cool the car down. So he said it could either be: 1) The thermostat has an issue 2) Water pump is knackered Any kind members have an idea on this...? Also just rang up a Glyn Hopkin Buckhurst Hill to take a look and at the mention of an import they did a runner. Any other garages, in the Epping Forest area... Any help is appreciated Regards Jesse

Hi All, This may have been asked in the past but thought I would try and get some advice. I've got a 2004 JDM 350Z and am looking to get Bluetooth and Audio connectivity to my Android phone. 1) Is there anything that can be done with the Bose Sound system (any guides on the matter) 2) Or do you think it is better to get another Head Unit.... and are there any suggestions Regards Jesse

Thanks for the information guys
