has to be only 3 points that. If you've not paid a fine and sent your licence off for the "Dodgy lot", then how can that be endorssed on your licence. I would go by whatever is on the paper copy of your licence, which should be your 3.

Cheers Whackywill..... Did see that previously, but didn't really answer my question about the "R" on the end of the KH3 code.

Quick bit of clarification needed before I dive in with the paintshop. Car is a 2005 (Dec) 350Z UK Manual (pre-facelift). On the VIN Plate, paint code shows as "KH3 R" Is the "R" at the end of any significance? it was spaced away from the KHR as shown in the first line. Thanks

Could anyone please advise re one of the elements within the schedule for the 350. What is the "NCVT Fluid" that needs to be changed on a P3 service? Also, is it me mis-reading things, but looking at the schedule, the only difference I can see between P3 & P3 is that on the P3 LSD Gear oil is replaced......... Oh and no doubt a massive hike from Mr Nissan for the difference!!

Have you ever tried doing something different with the pre-facelift door cards? I really dislike them as they always look like they have grease spots all over them, despite cleaning with multitude of cleaners.

How long before the better quality one's are available? and any rough idea what pricing is going to be like? Thanks

Spoiler please subject to some questions that I pm'd over to you. Cheers

Cheers KyleR, will get some new hoses ordered up in red now :-) Thanks

Before I have to go start stripping bits down in the engine bay, does anyone know the diameter of the silicone coupler hose that joins intake to the throttle body? Thanks

Thanks for the info guys. ts743 - Wouldn't mind grabbing some info on that sale just in case this one falls through Thanks

Cancel my last, sorry....daughter just informed me she flogged them !

She has decided against the Tiptronic one, definately wants manual, that in mind she has just seen: Mitsubishi FTO 2.0 V6-200 PS GPX Which is in A1 cond with full service history, new MOT etc etc Some of you guys were saying one model engine was the better one to go for, what is the engine in the GPX likely to be?

Im in Darlo and have a pair of orginal cats off a Dec 2005 350Z sat in my daughters shed

Well guys thats given me plenty to think of and enough information to go on when looking at them. The wife, who will use it as a daily drive for work, is not a fast driver or anything like that, as long as its got a bit of poke to take off from a junction, anything else she is not interested in.... She is not convinced about the Tiptronic, not ever having driven or semi-auto. Can I assume the GPX variant is the manual drive? this might be better for her. I am a bit wary about the guy selling it.... Says all the top end has been done, but no paperwork and doesn't really know what was done as its a mate of a mate sort of thing. Comes out with statements like "Oil and filter changed every month"! But my eyes have been opened by you guys, many thanks for all your comments and help, very much appreciated. Graeme

Anymore discount codes kicking around?

Hi Mike, its the 2.0 GR she is looking at, V6 Tiptronic. Guy has just had a top end rebuild done as well as cambelt and water pump. Total stranger to these cars despite having worked on probably 100's of different model cars in my lifetime, I have never touched the Mitsi......

Evening All, The wife fancies a change from her MR2 which she has had for 7yrs now. She's seen a really nice looking FTO 2.0 V6 Semi Auto. Looks well looked after and has had a good amount of money spent on it, as you would expect from another "Jap Petrolhead". Anyone any experience with the FTO's? what we should look for, etc. Trying to arrange a viewing, and personally have never even been close to an FTO let alone anything else. Thanks in advance

Cheers Toothy, thought it would be something like that, assumed it was there for headunits without a sense wire.....just have to take the headunit back out to enable the Pioneer sense unit then all should be well :-) Thanks

You really need to have someone who knows his stuff when it comes to dipping. As in painting, its all in the prep, and the bling is all in the finish, so the guy needs to be skilled at all elements. If he screws it up and it looks pants, the only way back is to strip it and do it again. Save yourself some heartache and pay the little extra to have the job done right in the first place.

Just as a little update on this matter of converting the 350Z leds, I have a copy of the documents that were supplied on the "Eric-White" web site, if anyone is interested in having a look at the very good and detailed guide, download from HERE. This is a 10Mb download and contains both parts 1 & 2 of the docs from the site.

tested it earlier in the week and all works fine without it, just using the normal Yellow phono and the power cables supplied. I have found, having put back the headunit, that I now need to take it out as there is a separate connector on my Pioneer head unit, that I have to connect for auto reverse sense, otherwise I have to engage the camera manually on the headunit........ Thanks for all your replies

Spent the afternoon taking all the interior plastics out to run in my new Phono cables and some other stuff. At the same time decided to run the wiring in for the Reversing Camera I got from eBay (Hong Kong). The camera is the one that replaces the reversing light holder. Now these are normally straight forward, but this one has confused the hell out of me due to its wiring. As it came out of the box, you have: Jack type connector which you wire in to give power to the unit, so earth and 12V - Straight forward. Then off the camera, you have the long cable with the Phono at each end to connect camera to the head unit All seems simple enough......until you look at the long phono cable. At each end, where the phone plug is, there is also a red thin cable wired in, approx 10" long, that goes into the phono plug. Got the multimeter out and check for continuity from the red wire to either the negative or positive side of the phono plug, and get nothing. Do a continuity check from the red cables on each end of the phono......and you get continuity. what the heck its using I don't know, and there is no indication in the wiring diagram for the camera, what these red fly leads are for. Had anyone else come across this, and have you resolved what they are for? This is the exact same camera below.....doesn't show you the phono plug side of the lead though:

The company is just in the processes of registering on here as a trader, their name is "North East Custom Coatings", I'm sure Michael will be along soon to introduce himself and the company. I think he is just going through the process with the admins.

Have a read of the pictorial guides, it really is easy, few screws and a few clips and it's out........and there is always plenty of people on the forum willing to help and advise.......you are never alone.

That looks amazing can't wait to get my interior started (unfortunately I have to wait) Was it difficult to remove the interior trim without causing any damage (broken clips/lugs etc) It's actually very easy to remove it all, have a read of the guides on the forum, you can easily strip the lot in an hour.
