That's perfect. Thanks a lot. I'd best get grinding them off

I've already got all the bits for replacing I should need as far as I know yet but thanks I'll keep it in mind. I'm just wondering what is holding the standard y-pipe to the standard cats Thanks

So I'm trying to remove and replace my exhaust from the cat back but the nuts that join the cats to the y pipe have corroded a lot an seized up to a point where I can't get them off. I have tried soaking them with wd40 and a breaker bar but nothing is budging. I have one question before I start the angle grinder up an sorry if it's been asked before. Are they a normal bolt or are they something else Again sorry if this has been asked before but I can't seem to find it anywhere :/

That's awesome guys thanks. I'll give them a call

Hey guys. Some one reversed into my car today. The damage isn't that bad and the guy has suggested we go about this without involving insurance and I think this is the best option. But I need to get a quote on Thursday to get the damage repaired. I need somewhere fairly local to Glasgow but that can give me a quote quick. Any ideas ??

so picked the car up from infinity today and had a chat with david about what was wrong with it. Apparently using consult3+ to reset it wasn't working, but downgrading to cunsult3 did. so its all fixed and i have my car back and no more knocking! SO Happy

UPDATE!!!!!! so i took her down to infinity at glasgow and dropped her off, a few hours later i got a call from david who explained that he had been investigating and that the bushes were infact fine. but there was an issue with the steering rack-end and antiroll bar links (i think). he quoted me a price and told me he could have it done the next day so i said go ahead. I went to pick it up and was told he was still trying to sort something, which seemed odd as they had told me it was finished when they called. turns out david was having a problem with the steering angle sensor after doing an alignment it wouldn't reset. so had both the espoff light and the 'slip' light on on the dash, he tested it to see if it was working ok, which it was and said i could take it home but would need to take it back to get it sorted out at another suitable time. Most importantly though he had stopped the knocking. we aranged to drop it off today and leave it with him. Now he has had it all day and has asked if i can leave it with them for another day so he can get in touch with nissan about it. I just want to say how amazing the team at Infinity Glasgow have been with this they have given me a lovely Q50 to use while I get my car back and haven't asked for a penny this time around to get rid of the lights or even for the insurance on the courtesy car. Anyone any ideas why the steering angle reset wouldn't be working ??? Cheers Adam

yeah the price was off putting to be honest but there not that much more than the standard bushings in reality and I've not faith in them at all... might as well spend a little extra and get your moneys worth

Have ordered the superPro bushings from Horsham Developments and will be getting them fitted next week Fingers crossed that should get it sorted

So I've had the wheel off and taken a scout around at the ball joint and it looks in good condition. I think I'm just going to have to get the bushings done and fingers crossed that will be the issue resolved! There is no way i could do it myself and it would cost me as much to buy the tools id need as to just get it done. I don't really have access to a decent jack or anything. Going to buy the super pro bushes and hope it gets it sorted. Thanks for the input guys i really appreciate it.

Wow! Thanks for the fast reply Thats really useful! Im gonna hav to get on the floor and check that then. removing the arm isn't really an option at the side of the road but ill give it a look and see if i can see anything that looks untoward. Thanks

So I've had a rattle for a month or so now but have been reluctant to change the bushings without knowing if the ball joint is damaged as well. I have checked the bushing and it certainly looks torn but how could i go about checking the ball joint. I don't want to just spend money on bushings to still have the same issue, but in the same sense don't want to buy 2 new arms to have only needed the bushings. Is there any way to get an idea if they are in good nick? Cheers heres a pic of the bushing

there a little thing called a timer (or even a remote) ... doh Maybe so but do you really want my ugly mug there. ?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some one has to be behind the camera In all honesty I've found portraiture and fashion style photography so much harder to get into than another type... models all expect to get paid one way or another (money or prints usually) but then people that aren't interested in modelling don't know what to do even a little so need a lot of direction. I love doing it and i suppose if I was more confident at dealing with models i'd be in a better situation...... shall have to give it a go soon i suppose...

So as promised earlier some slightly better quality uploads.

Its portable. But usually the front room. As such. It can be where it need to be then. I meant that more that I have studio kit than a physical studio. Next time I'm getting it out I'll give you a shout it's good fun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I don't do much in the way of landscape and haven't done anything with cars for a few years now This is where my interest is if I'm honest. I do have my own studio set up and will occasionally will do bits of landscape and stuff Appologise if the quality is poor. I uploaded these from my phone. I'll put a few more up later from the Mac Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

welcome along

So rather than start a new thread with a bit more info i figured i'd just revive this one. ..... it took me a few months to find the right car at the right price. but.... My Z is being delivered on friday afternoon. I feel like a kid in the run up to christmas getting more and more excited as the days tick by. So a little more info about the car. I wasn't bothered about colour but i think it is blade silver (its a kind of grey/silver and i don't really know the difference)... it will be changing colour in the future anyway. 04 GT model with the rays, bose, black leather heated seats and cruise control. its getting a full valet and machine polish and all that sort of stuff before it arrives (i bought it on saturday) So excited to finally have one that i can call my own. Now onto a territory I'm a little less sure of, i have spent a little money on things to protect the car (CCTV) and a bit on some new washing equipment, but I am looking for suggestions of things that i can do in the next few weeks that will not cost a lot (<£30) that will just make it look a bit fresher. i need to see how they did with the exhaust but that will be up there on the list of things that need tidying but any suggestion on mods??? Thanks Lurch....
