Spotted this the other day and thought I'd share it in case anyone on here was looking for one. I was thinking of buying it myself but have decided against it as I've spent a fair bit lately on bits & bobs. Direct link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281285995985?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D281285995985%26_rdc%3D1 Item number; 281285995985 Hope it helps.

The oil thing isn't really a big deal as long as you check it regularly. I had to do that a lot on my last car a 2003 EP3 Civic Type R as they tend to use a lot of oil with their high revving VTEC engines. My Zeds a 2003 so doesn't suffer the same problems with oil consumption but I still check it regularly as it's common sense to do so really if you like looking after your cars.

No probs. Definitely a worth while mod for the £15-£20 these things cost.

Welcome aboard.

Great looking Zed and the Mondeo is pretty cool too. I'm no stranger to Fords as I used to own a 98 Mondeo ST24 which probably started my love affair with anything V6 powered. Look forward to reading what you have in store for your Zed, ...but not to burst your bubble but it isn't 300bhp+. The 2006 RevUp DE engine has around 296bhp stock I believe. The HR engine Zeds are 312bhp from what I've read. http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/facts-and-figures/nissan/350z/coupe-2003/ Also worth noting that you should keep a good eye on your oil level but I'm sure as a fellow petrol head you do that anyway.

Marks and Spenser's?

Hi Nigel,I've been trolling eBay tonight and I did see a thick rear carpet mat for sale. New: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Nissan-350z-Boot-Mat-/400244956938?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5d30755f0a Bit expensive but they usually are. If you keep your eye's peeled though you may spot a good second hand one at half the price.

I've got an M's magnetic sump plug and it is M12x1.25.

Was looking tonight for 350Z bits on eBay ~ just window shopping really. It was amazing though with some of the Zeds for sale the about of bullsh*t being spouted by owners. Came across a 350Z "Nismo" claiming 320bhp from a DE RevUp with just an exhaust & induction kit. ..And another owner claiming he had just had it serviced using all the correct items including the "best" oil for the Zed which according to him was Mobil 1 10w60.

Your Zed's look great together. MR2's not too shabby either. ....but tell the MR2 owner you don't need fog lights on when it's not foggy. Hopefully it was just for the photo though.

Not sure if any of these clips from eBay are any good; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-350-Z-Bumper-Trim-Wheel-Arch-Door-Panel-Side-Moulding-Plastic-Clips-/221376074681?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item338b0ad3b9 Also might be worth a message to one of the various sellers on eBay that are breaking 350's for some of the parts like this one; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-350-Z-3-5-GT-BREAKING-ALL-PARTS-AVALIABLE-SPARES-/390790804945?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3A350+Z&hash=item5afcf275d1 ...Or just PM zmanalex on here to see what he can do for you. Hope that helps Ian.

^^ Good show. Like a good exhaust video.

Beautiful Zed and with pictures that good you should definitely enter the Zed of the month competition next month imo.

Don't be afraid to ask any questions. Always try the search button first but then if no joy just post a thread in the correct section.

Even better. Winning.

Great stuff. Hope he gives you mates rates.

Not illegal, the law states no tyre tread may be out the arch, my mx5 was worse than that all round! . Ha. Yeah just been looking at the pictures again and I can't see any tread pattern so you're right. Still wouldn't entertain buying that though.

Look's much better for sure. I'd have rubbed it down first though with some wet & dry paper to smooth out some of the marks ~ then touch up. Still looks better though.

Welcome aboard btw.

Just keep it ffs. It's far too good to sell anyway. GLWTS though.

Don't sweat it. Everybody makes mistakes, ...just some of us (like you) can admit it.

Can't be unhappy with that.

This. If it's a standard 2003 car then it is totally possible that it could have lost 30bhp over the years. Especially true if it hasn't been serviced that well. Have you had the plugs changed at all? I know that's not going to lose you 30bhp just wondered though.

This could go on all night.
