Thanks dude. Ordered that! Off to Germany on the weekend so started to panic.. Nissan wanted £55 for a new one!! And eurocarparts sold me a duff one...

Has anyone got a brake light switch? 2004 350z...

Cheers,

Adrian

Thanks. I've sent Ewen a message to this thread.

Hi,

I'm wanting to replace the discs with new ones. They are two part rotors - does anyone know what make they are? (I am led to believe they are DBA) and where I can get replacement discs? (or do you need to buy the whole kit?)

This is the best picture I have right now, let me know if you need something better.

Cheers,

Adrian

Bump!

Bump. Price drop.

Good for somebody reverting to stock

For sure main use I guess!

Used. Taken from a 2004 350z @ 75k miles. Selling as I have just fitted coilovers.

Working perfectly fine as expected.

Collection only. I'm in the south Leeds area.

Asking for £120.

Cheers,

Adrian

Could tension on the ABS wire cause this issue? The placement of the bracket on the coilovers is higher than that of the OEM ones. I looked at it on full lock and there was some tention (not enough to stretch though). I've moved the bracket as low as it will go now and it has given it a bit more flex... see how it goes..

So I just popped out. I turned the car on and pumped the brake pedal (brake lights working fine). Went to the supermarket and the lights were all on the dash.

Parked up at the supermarket, got my stuff and on the way back the lights didn't return on. I've checked error codes using the pedal dance as well as using an OBDII reader and it's all clear... brake fluid is fine.

If it was the ABS sensor there would be an error code, right?

The only thing that has changed recently is I put the coilovers on, and had the geometry set up. However the lights didn't show up until a few days after that (must have done at least 100 miles)..

Thoughts?

As mentioned no codes showed up when using a reader. I'll check the brake light today though - thanks guys

Hi all,

Got all the above lights on the dash. After a bit of reading it sounded like the brake fluid - it was very close to max but I topped it up a tad and it disappeared for a few days. However it has came back on today - not sure what else to check? I've looked for error codes and nothing shows up

Cheers,

Adrian

at the end of the day,where can you get a performance car like the 350z for under £8000 ? a brand new fiat 500 cost £11000

Can't believe you just compared a Fiat 500 to a performance car like the 350z

Video of the meet:

Originally bought it for £30 but looks like the price has gone up. Fantastic in day and night: http://www.amazon.co..._=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

I modified it a little to make it more stealthy (blacked out the buttons, chrome on the front and taped over the flash). Put a 32GB card in (about 5 hours of footage) but going to put a 64GB in.

Edit: Bit cheaper on Ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FHD-1080P-G1W-2-7-LCD-Car-Dash-Cam-DVR-Camera-Recorder-G-sensor-140-WDR-New-UK-/131454135504?hash=item1e9b46ecd0:g:t18AAOSwYlJW6Nlh

Great video mate, can't believe how close my car was to the bump haha

Told you you'd make it

Video of the meet:

Ah, found the right thread..... Great pics! Good to meet everyone!

Great to meet everyone today. Pics coming and will see if I can sort a video out.

Sorry been a bit slow to respond to the thread! See you guys at 2pm. Just had the coilovers setup properly so looking forward to a spin out

I'll come to this - pic in my signature.

Here's a 2004 350Z at 90000 miles. Looking at retail prices only, if you bought it in March 2015 with 75k miles and sold it with 90k miles in Feb last month then you would have made £150. Not massive but not bad for +15k miles and 1 year older.

I think that still counts as appreciation

Can't quite get my head around this...a car with 75k miles on it now, would I think by default be worth more than the identical car a year ago with the same mileage? As its a year older, with same miles, people pay more for lower mileage cars vs age so isn't that the reason the price is higher more than appreciation? I would agree with JP that prices haven't really budged in terms of what people are buying them up at?

 

Be interesting to see what prices come back on a basic Ford Focus 1.8 2004 just as an example...

Fair point to be honest mate. That's based on the mileage being the same over the year.

Ford Focus 1.8 2004 (TDCi Zetec 3Dr) @ 75000 miles:

What is the source of this valuations

CAP (cap hpi as of recently)

I'm sure this is nothing new to you guys but thought it was interesting to learn our 350's are currently appreciating, looking at the historic retail valuations from the past year (this is based on a 2004 @ 75k miles):

In the same apartment complex as me. Anyone on here? 54 plate.. lowered with aftermarket alloys (17's or 18's)

Is that for the rear two? I assume the fronts aren't needed as they will be accessible?

 

The front 2 are easily accessible without the extensions, two for the rear will be required though, usually they get located on the top of the in boot strut brace for coupes or inside the roof tonneau for roadsters. Anybody who wants to actually adjust the rear coilovers will want them.

 

If I didn't already have these coilovers, I'd be on this like a rash, great price for an excellent upgrade.

Sweet. Yeah I'm up for a pair of extenders too then.
