OK, that's great, thanks for your input guys.

Hi guys,

I have a 2016 Mark 2 Nismo, I just wondered if anyone could confirm with regard to the auto head light setting, that it lights the DRLs, then the side lights and then as it goes darker again the headlights.

Mine seems to have developed a possible fault, as it goes straight from the DRLs to the headlights, I'm sure it used to light just the sidelights first, although I never really checked to see that it did!

So, just wanted to get some confirmation first from other owners.

Thanks,

Chris.

Ouch. As above, very pricey although there was one on ebay a couple of months back. Long shot but always worth a PM to zmanalex.

Thanks Payco, just sent zmanalex a PM. Yes, I'd noticed that one on the completed listings of eBay from a couple of months ago, will just have to keep my eyes peeled, and If you guys notice one anywhere, if you could let me know. :-)  Cheers

Going to be expensive mate, but no, no idea - A full set is circa £2000 used I believe, and from Nissan you're looking at over £1000 each

Can it not be refurbed, assuming it was damaged? 

Yeah thought it would be expensive, the wheel has a dent in the outside rim, previous owner has gone over a pothole I think. Not quite sure how I didn't notice it during the viewing. I went to see The Wheel Specialist not far from me, who said as it's on the outside rim it can't be repaired.

Hi guys,

As the title suggests I am after a front wheel for the passenger side on my 2016 Nismo.

If anyone knows of one for sale second hand anywhere?

Thanks,

Chris.

OK guys, thanks for all the info. Not been to look at it still yet. Noticed they just reduced the price by another £350, will keep having a nose about.

I'm sure one in much much better condition just sold on here for 13ish I know your budgets tight but if you could just stretch a little there some much nicer cars about for a extra couple k 

Good luck tho let us know what it's like 

OK Bud. Will bear that in mind. Only thing is I'm having to use finanace for half the payment. So probably be a no go for me with a private buyer. Also, just to mention, I ideally wanted a white or a black one. Not quite as keen on silver or blue. Thanks.

the car seems a bit grubby, get them to valet inside and outside of the car and jet

 

wash the engine as well. It seems a good price, check it out on a test drive, see how the car drives and brakes, clutches usually go about 80000 miles, then ask them to put it up on a ramp to check underneath for any rusty parts like w brace, exhaust etc.  

OK, will do, thanks for your help. The other issue is they only have the service book, and no invoices etc for work carried out. Will see how the test drive goes then, and look out for the things you've mentioned.

When I bought my 350Z luckily that had had the the clutch replaced, think that was on about 65,000 miles when it went and I bought it just after at 67,000 miles. Will have a look underneath like you say. They said couple of the wheels need a refurb, and the front bumper has quite a few stone chips, so I'd have to get that resprayed I think.

The good thing about the dealer is they are a trading partner of Haliwell Jones BMW in Southport and are based next to them, so they seem to have good back up and reviews.

Hi guys, it's been a while since I've been on here, I used to have a 350Z, then had a highly modded turbo charged Civic Type-R which I've just sold, so I've decided I really want to get back in the Z club again.

I'm after a 370Z, as I've always wanted to have one since they came out. I don't have a massive budget unfortunately, so I've seen this one which isn't too far away from me:

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201802213941975?sort=distance&make=NISSAN&transmission=Manual&advertising-location=at_cars&price-to=15000&radius=1500&model=370 Z&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=New&postcode=ch65pa&page=1

I've spoken to the dealer today and they have told me it has been serviced 5 times, so it doesn't have a full service history, it's been serviced as follows:

11,427 miles (2012)

23,343 miles (2013)

40,484 miles (2015)

48,504 miles (2016)

59,085 miles (2017)

79,200 miles (2018 - the dealer will be doing this service before it's sold)

As far as I can see it's missed two services, one in 2014 and an extra one in 2017 based on the high mileage done in the last 12 months.

I'm going there to have a test drive of it in the next day or so.

Does anyone recognise this Car? Or know anything about it?

What are peoples thoughts on the price based on service history etc?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Chris.

Just seen this one coming out of Flint, towards Bagillt this evening, silver one reg B17, lovely motor. Was in my Civic Type-R; we had a little fun! Couldn't stop to speak unfortunately.

Yes, sorted now.

Had this re-done by them a couple of weeks back, and it does look a lot better second time round, the guy from the body shop actually got the guy from the paint manufacturer that they use, out to have look at it with him.

yours does look really good to be fair.

In some light mine doesn't look too bad, just slightly dark, which I could live with probably.

What I can't live with is the purple colour that shows up when the sun catches it at kind of a side on angle in the evening or early morning, and also shows up really bad under artificial light (car headlight, torch etc) I'm going back there this saturday, so will just have to say I'm not happy and want it doing again.

If they used the right paint code, I don't know how it has ended up with the purple hue to it? as the original paint doesn't have that in as far as I'm aware?

just been out with the torch, as you can see the purple hue is there:

Yeah, it's the purple hue in it that's doing my head in mainly, rather than the actual darkness of the colour. I took it to another body shop for a second opinion, and he said it's almost as if there is too much red in the colour of the respray.

So I took my car last week to a local body shop to have the front bumper repsrayed due to stone chips and also the rear quarter panel resprayed due to bubbling around the wheel arch.

The colour where it has been done is darker than the rest of the car, and has quite an obvious purple hue to it at certain angles when the sun hits it, it really shows up though under artificial light from torch, car headlight etc.

So I spoke to the paint shop and they said they definitely used the correct paint code, and that the colour is a flippy colour.

They said I can take the car back to them to look at, they tried to blend the bumper into the front wheel arches, they have said they may need to blend into/paint the bonnet aswell.

Anyone had this problem with the azure before? Is there anything that I could check that they are doing to make sure they get a better colour match if they spray it again?

It seems that there is only one paint code for this colour, so I'm not sure what else can be done to get a better match?

Any advise would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Going to have these fitted at TDI North tomorrow, along with their custom 350z exhaust

Yeah, I'd be ok to wait.

Paid.

I recently took my DE to TDI North for a Stage 1 upgrade, they got it up to 299.3bhp at flywheel, they said it was a strong motor mine, and that they don't often see gains this good from the DE. They did a Dyno run just after they fitted the mods before the rempa and it was about 280bhp then I think.

I'd like some:
