ohhhhh i see my black nismo lol

it was a brilliant day, great craic and great cars, the white van that was there was cool too

Thats it. Joke that they're left in.

 

it's definitely sitting lower at the front now lol

 

Yep - they're the suckers... did you lift the car on an jack to get them off?

yep and had to take the wheels off to get into them

Thats it. Joke that they're left in.

it's definitely sitting lower at the front now lol

is it this thing, i removed two from either side

Love the Nismo Zeds.

Nice rise up the Zed ranks.

i waited long enough to get one lol

Great progression there mate! I took a very similar route but only had one 350..... Saying that it did have 2 engines, so I have kinds of had 4 Zeds!! Love my MY17 Nismo!

I realty like the black addition to the rear bumper off your white 370.

yep that works out 4 zeds lol the nismos really are a different beast

Beautiful motors!!

 

What's next?

it would have to be a GTR, there's nothing else to go to lol

I think the Nismo 370z MKII suits a bigger wing, personally. It's an aggressively styled car & the rear looks a bit bare-bones without it.

i agree, and i do like big wings.

Nice! Bet you've still got the suspension "anti fun" clamps on the front though. Go and check asap for clips attached to your front springs, full lock and spend at last 1 min looking. Mine are around the back of the spring

is that really a thing lol , im going to check today

Thats gorgeous.

thanks marzman

The Nismo is a beaut. I'd love to get you out to a meet over here with Stu and his white Nismo

 

thanks kyle , here where bouts are yous? here in N.I.? we're doing a renegades run from banbridge to spelga dam to castlewellan on sunday

 

Ooohh interesting. I'm in Portadown, Stu's up Derry direction, but there are quite a few others over here. More info on the run please!

ahh you're only up the road, but stu's got a bit of a run from derry lol, here's the link to the fb event. i don't think this one willl be as big as the others due to weather, but it's fun to get out for a drive - rain or not

sorry guys only getting back on now, just been so busy this past few weeks,

so here's another update,

after shaking a few trees, so to speak, and many phone calls to the dealer and nissan uk,

my case had been escalated and a case manager appointed to my case,

i was given a direct line phone number to her, the only problem is the number can only be used if your case has been escalated.

even then i wasn't really getting any where until,

using this website and the internet i gathered as much evidence as i could,

nissan uk did not admit any liability but in good faith have paid for all parts used and a good percent of the labour,

i was told two weeks ago to come pick up my car from the dealer even though the case is still not closed,

i phoned the dealer today to enquire about the bill but they can't bill me until nissan close the case,

ive been told it's looking like i'll not be out of pocket much more than £100.00.

so today i asked the dealer to come back to me with some prices for a 2015 - 2016 nismo.

looks like i'll be staying with nissan for a few more years to come

Good to hear that news

 

You might wish to consider the fuse pull/blown once the new lock has been fitted as it has been reported that replacements have failed and as the 370's post the build date of yours do not have the lock fitted anyway (I wonder why ) so you do not have all that incoveinence again.

i actually brought that up with the dealer today, about pulling the fuse.

update ***********

 

the Nissan dealer in newry phoned me this morning, i will say the dealer has been very helpful, last week i was at the stage where i was getting nowhere with Nissan,

but now good news, after the dealer pushing my case i have a result, nissan will now help me with the cost.

i do have to wait another week but i've waited this long, so......

 

anyway it's good news and a result.

i may still go for the nismo, we'll see

 

Happy for you mate...bit annoying for me as I was in the same boat and had to fork out £1,050 to get it fixed don't really understand how they've come to a different conclusion

i just think me being so pushy and annoying paid of in the end

As your car is a 2011 model, it doesn't fall into the recall section. It sucks, but really there's precious little you can do here apart from suck it up and get it sorted at your own cost. Legally, I don't see where you can go as your contract is with the supplying dealer not Nissan (when did you buy the car?).

 

I agree that I'd be mad as hell too and vow never to buy another, but that's the world we live in I'm afraid. Nissan really do not have a clue about customer service, especially on their sporty models unless it's a GT-R.

i think my issues with nissan are that others seem to have had help from nissan on this issue, on cars after the effected date, also that it has taken 4 weeks to be told that the case is not closed as they are waiting on more info from the nissan dealer who has my car, when all info was already passed to nissan, and then be told there'll be no help.

Car was purchased on 14/02/2015, i'm also a bit pi**ed that now i don't know what other make of other car to go for, i really liked both the 350Zs ive owned and this 370Z. but this whole ordeal has left me really bothered.

UPDATE!

so here's where i am with this now,

4 weeks later, still no car,

phoned the dealer today and was told they were still waiting on Nissan,

so phoned Nissan and told me they were waiting on the dealer getting back to them,

i told Nissan that the dealer has already given them all the info, service history, date of purchase and so on,

i was then informed by Nissan that they'll not be giving me anything towards this as the last two services, one of which was done by the dealer i bought the car from were not a Nissan dealer,

ive now phoned the dealer back and told them to get me the bill ready,

i've now pretty much decided that the car will be sold and i will never again buy a Nissan,

i was looking at a 370Z nismo, not going to happen now.

and btw ive also been told by nissan that nothing posted here in this forum has any bearing on anything.

EDIT- Maybe it's time i go speak to my solicitor

"insert expletives "

guess what happened my car on sunday night.

went to get petrol, put petrol in, went in paid for petrol,

came out, car wouldn't start,

key light showing on dash, plugged key into key holder, light on key holder flashes,

tried everything, car won't recognize key,

had to phone home for someone to take me in the spare key,

same problem,

neither key would start the car,

had to get car recovered,

left car with recovery company at their yard and they disconnected the battery and tried both keys again the following morning, still nothing.

recovery people left the car into local Nissan dealer on Monday,

today the dealer phones and tells me the bill is going to be over £1000.00, for new steering lock and labour

told them there was a recall on this for some Zeds, they did their best and could find no info on this,

so i then phoned nissan customer care and opened a case today,

i'll hear back within 3 days,

i told them all about the posts here and i could provide a link if they needed it.

my car is a 2011 - 370Z GT Edition,

I had the same problem finding a reasonably prices passenger side replacement. Ended up getting a used one from New Zealand as everywhere else was ridiculous.

 

My housing was broken but the internals were fine, so if you need any parts, I have them (I'm guessing the ballast is the same part on both sides?

i hadn't been on the internet in a few days, so only saw your post, i never even through to check if the ballast is the same on both sides.

The ballast usually works again if you dry it for a few days just sit it on top of a radiator and let it dry out

only for the corrosion i's say drying it out would have done the job.

First thing, don't ever go to Nissan they are useless! If there is water in the headlight then split it with a heat gun (look on line) then replace the ballast . Check connections first though.

from now on, google will be my first stop

right, so took the headlight out, got the water out of it, got it completely dried, found where the water was getting in,

tested the bulbs, all okay, tested the ballast and found it was faulty, took it apart, it was corroded inside,

phoned nissan for price of new ballast, = £1000.00 (one thousand) kid you not lol

went on google, searched part number, found one for £80.00. bought it.

spent 2 hours tonight putting it all back together.

lights now working

the xenon is not working, went into nissan, they put a new bulb in and said, it won't work, then went on to tell me they want to replace the whole headlight unit

so has to be ballast, but need to get all the water out of the unit.

i've literally spent week trying ebay and every salvage yard i could find on google, in ireland and the uk.

ive now decided tomorrow i'm taking the headlight out, putting it in the oven so i can split it open then dry the water that's in it, and testing to find the fault, i suspect its the ballast that's water damaged, if so im sure i can find one for around £90 used and a new bulb, it's just the thought of the work involved and rip off nissan that has me pi**ed

no one?

there's no way i'm giving nissan £1400.00 odd

i'd sooner trade the car in..

Hi everyone,

i need a

Driver side complete Headlight unit,

for a UK 2011 Nissan 370Z,

to be posted to N.Ireland.

does anyone have one for sale?

ive done a quick search and found others with the same problem on 370zs and other cars when they have took out the gear box,

some are saying even manuals have this switch, something to do with the reverse light signal, and the cables were not plugged in right.

have a look at this thread.

http://www.the370z.c...switch-cel.html

Sounds like a loose/poor connection and maybe in your search for likely causes you moved the the problem connection

 

I would check the fuse and its 'seating' but off the top of my head I cannot help with its location- something I never had an issue with on my 370.

 

Do you not have a friendly local garage that could give it the once over as if you book into Nissan for an intermittent issue you might b charged for (say) an hours worth on inspection to be told they could find nothing wrong.....

i think i might be better leaving it in to nissan lol

thanks
