  1. Tarmac Sportz do some very reasonably priced steel combo nuts in black and red.

     

    Give them a PM and they'll hook you up.

    i was on the tarmac site looking, but i don't know which ones i need

     

    Why not treat the zed to some nice genuine ones.

    :O the price of them lol

     

     

     

    I've no idea if this applies to your wheels, but the OEM Nismo wheels I have (different design to yours) have a specific type of nut with a sort of revolving washer built in to them (sorry - I am sure there is a more accurate way of describing them). I think it is supposed to be risky/dangerous to fit non OEM style wheel nuts to wheels which require this sort of nut. They look like this:

    Hopefully somebody will be along soon to confirm the correct type of wheel nut for yours.

    i found out that these OEM 370z nuts won't fit because of the width of the washer part, i think that's what he meant, that they won't go into the hole.

     

     

     

    As you are using the LMGT4 rims (for the 350's), you are using the correct nuts.

     

    I used these rims on my 370 for a short while with the 350 nuts.

     

    Had you been using the 370 Nismo rims then yes, you should be using the nuts as Sipar has linked.

    i don't know, are they different for the 350Z and 370z?, these came on the car. i'm just thinking, these nuts do look like the OEM nuts from a 350Z

    edit - sorry i read your comment wrong, now i understand, so these nuts are the right nuts to use with these wheels on a 370Z, thanks :)

    just need to find a long version in red.

     

     

     

    Providing the thread on the 370 lugs is the same as the 350 1.25 I believe, the ones I've link too are the correct ones for the LMGT4's

    This is the correct lug nuts for the Nismo LMGT4.

    see this is where i'm so confused, they look like 60 degree tapered ones, but all the info i find says you can't use 60 degree tapered nuts with these wheels, this is doing my head in lol

  2. My 370Z GT Edition came from the dealer fitted with Nismo LMGT4 wheels,

    i have read some where that these wheels don't use normal after market wheels nuts, some have said they use the flat type and some have said they are not flat,

    i'm so confused,

     

    there are pictures of my wheel nuts and you can also see in the pictures of the wheel, that they do have a flat ridge and then a bit of a tapered bit inside where the nuts go.

     

    are these the right wheels nuts?

    and does anyone know where i can get the right nuts red colour in a long version

  3. i have

    Used 350z rear differential,

    From a 2004 350Z manual,

    Done 72,200 miles,

    Located at Sheepbridge, Newry, Co. Down. N.ireland

    £250.00

    postage could be dear.

     

    Ps was fully working on the car, i only replaced it because i got a another shimmed diff put in

    (edit, sorry it done 72,200 odd)

  4. i would not spend 5K on a 2003 350Z GT, with 83,000 on the clock.

    no way,

    i sold my 2005 350Z with 70,00o on the clock for 4k

    and went and bought a late 2004 350Z GT with 72 on the clock for 4K in 2014

     

    and 6 months later traded in the 350Z and got 4K trade in on it lol

    i wound not give more than £4500 for it with the wheels.

     

    These are few of the cars where the price varies considerably. a lot of traders are selling 2005's with 60-90k miles at 6500 to 8000. GT usually. Non GT still commands a 6k asking price. privately its all over. Theres a white one thats been slightly modified guy wants 6995....

     

    Yesterday i saw a black one 2004 96k miles for 5k orange leather 7 owners......guy had it a month and didnt bother checking insurance prices so has sorned it,...

     

    4k youre a mad man, I would have happily taken that off you for 5 and a bit........

    i should buy cheap Zs here and ship them over to you guys lol

    + profit haha

  5. guys the Zs here are not selling that dear here, i know because ive bought two 350Zs and i gave £19,000 for my 2011 370 GT edition with 17,000 on the clock in 2015, all cars had service history.

    edit - i meant bought in jan 2015

  6. i would not spend 5K on a 2003 350Z GT, with 83,000 on the clock.

    no way,

    i sold my 2005 350Z with 70,00o on the clock for 4k

    and went and bought a late 2004 350Z GT with 72 on the clock for 4K in 2014

     

    and 6 months later traded in the 350Z and got 4K trade in on it lol

    i wound not give more than £4500 for it with the wheels.

     

    I'd suggest these are fairly exceptional figs unless the price of them has moved since 2014?

     

    I spent a very long time looking for a Z and found nothing even close to what you're saying, anything around the 4/4.5k mark had sky high mileage, lack of history, shocking bodywork, cat D/C or something equally unattractive

    i think this might be a N.Ireland thing, or just random luck for me, i might have been buying from dealers when they drop the prices to get rid of the cars, i always managed to get up to a grand of what they advertise for so far.

  7. how did i? i traded it in 6 months later for what i paid for it , the 04 that is,

    the 05 was not a gt

     

    edit - ohh i see what you mean, i could have got more for it,

  9. Does anyone know the OEM part numbers for the front and rear brake Pads for the AKEBONO CALIPERS, standard on 370z GT Edition?

    ive searched and searched and can't find the part numbers, i need them so i can search for alternates to the OEM from other suppliers.

    Ive seen all the threads in here with the alternates from traders, but i just want the part numbers for the OEM Pads in the AKEBONO CALIPERS,

    thanks.
