H dev looks like a great place but they are 155 miles from me. Well my local guy said he would do it for £250 but the last time i took my car he left an oil stain on the plenum.... hmmmm

It will need a lift? really so axle stands will be no good? I have called a few garages around mansfield area and none of them were willing to do a replacement on the zed? one said it was a big job and could take at least 9 hours and not something they would do. My only option so far is the mobile mechanic as the clutch is pretty bad like i said and no garage seems to want to do it anyway!

My clutch has pretty much completely gone, I dont even think it's good enough to drive to the garage! so thinking of getting a mobile mechanic out to fit it, are they fairly easy to install for a mechanic?

yeah kinda agree actually... looks more suited for American roads the GTR.

what about a GTR guys? what do you think to them?

Looking mint mate!

I think you might have missed the point of the poll Yep, I can understand most people voting for the car they have as they probably bought the car they wanted, however if you've got one and you want the other then surely you should vote for the other? I think the 370z has grown on me a lot... i'm thinking about selling up already and getting the 370.... i've only had my 350 for about 8 months. I still think the 350 kinda looks slightly better standard... perhaps... but i think with some cool styling to the 370 it would look a lot more meaner and a newer look... that's what i am thinking. OOOOOOSHHHHHHH i think i just jizzed myself. That's it 350 going up for sale asap

From what i have already read excedy seems to be a popular choice... mine has gone and looking to get one fitted asap

Did they supply the clutch and flywheel for that?? Edit - Ignore just seen the post saying you did supply it. 400 does sound steep!

Wasso? i assume thats a member on here.

Well the sun is out but I'm gutted atmo as my car needs a new clutch slipping badly... so cant drive until it gets fitted! arghhhhhhhh

platic lol anyway the guy who did the oil change had run out of paper so couldnt print an invoice so said to pay the following week as i was having more done, so i have not paid him yet... dont think i am gonna bother going back either. I just feel like my car had been a little neglected and he did not even mention it or anything. Furious. Spose i could buy a new plenum or one of those chromed ones, does anyone sell them on here?

spot on... i'll probably be in touch then mate just waiting for a call back first from a garage that will fit it and curious to see how much they supply one for. Are the exedy kits good performing clutch's?

Well there are other sellers http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-350-Z-3-5-Exedy-3-Piece-Clutch-Kit-Inc-Bearing-/301022059565?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4616501c2d

Can anyone tell me if this clutch kit is a good choice?

Funnily enough, i was looking into importing these, i own an importing business that's what i do but currently just focus selling GPS systems.

Just wondering, what is the difference between a mobile repairer and work being done in a bodyshop apart from the obvious location.

Not far then, I'm in Warsop about 14 miles away

Sweet where abouts are you based in Notts? I live in Notts too

Waiting to hear from the officer as to if there is any footage on the nearby cctv cam.. i highly doubt there will be but you never know.

Funny you mentioned that the copper that went to see him said he was being cocky and arrogant and said he wasn't having it! to*S*er! no paint was found on the trailer the copper said. Wish i had tried harder to pull him over, the thing is, the guy sounded like a bit of trouble... so there was an issue of possible getting into a scrap and it was in the middle of the night not many people around to witness. What are you supposed to do? Another thing the trailer was a different plate to the car which is apparently illegal. Does the damage look bad in your opinion, it doesn't look as bad in the pic tbh.

Make sure to post the finished result mate!

Was parked up at traffic lights and was pulling off to turn right and the guy on my left was moving to go straight on was in a mitsi pickup truck towing a big wide metal trailer. As he moved off his trailer hit my passenger side door, he did not stop so i went after him and got his plates. Then called the police. Unfortunately i had no witnesses or anything but i have reported this now to the insurance esure. The problem is my excess is £500 and in order to fight for that money back from the other driver i have to pay the excess first and then there is a risk of not winning. Auto restore came to give me the quote, as that is who esure use, they are a mobile repairer and they said £1300. esure will not let me use any other service unless i pay £200 to change the repairer. Fuming not sure what to do here. I am gonna get some quotes from a few other garages myself, and see how much they quote if its cheap enough i might aswell have to sort it myself. Or else pay the 500 excess and get auto restore to do it, but then risk not getting the money back. Door suffered the most but there is some damage to the arch too. a few minor scratches to the rear panel too.

Wow i can't believe that! I've not heard of any car stealings in a long long time.... hope it get's back to you matey.

Yeah guess you are right lads... well I'm in Mansfield. I think i will try tesco next time, i have been using shell v power until now just looking to see if i can get cheaper and same quality elsewhere.
