SOLD! Please lock!

Hi mate interested in these but i leave for holiday tomorrow for one week.

What's the fitments like against the rear bumper as I've seen some that are on a bit of an angle

They line up pretty much perfectly, slightly higher than the standard ones but left/right they were spot on.

So whats the diameter difference on a 2014 nismo arb v a 2009 non nismo GT?

According to a US forum:

Stock front - 26.5mm diameter, 3.5mm thick wall

Nismo front - 27mm diameter, 4.3mm thick wall

Stock rear - 24.2mm diameter, 3mm thick wall

Nismo rear - 25.4mm diameter, 3.5mm thick wall

Are they 225/40/18 all round?

Yes they are

Standard 350Z wheel nuts in reasonable condition. £20 inc P&P

I've run these for the last two winters on my car and they have been fantastic, I even drove around a taxi that was stuck in the snow in my street last month much to his surprise!

The wheels are standard 350Z wheels. When I bought them they were quite badly kerbed but straight and no leaks. I refurbished these myself so they certainly aren't perfect, but as wheels are always filthy in winter I didn't really mind - close up there are sanding marks and a couple of drips of paint (see close up pic for an idea, ignore the water marks!). If you're more than 1m away they look fine.

The tyres are Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25V in 225/40/18. The tread depths are 6mm, 7mm, 7mm and 8mm over the four tyres so plenty of life left in them. I realise this is the completely wrong time of year to tell winter tyres but I've just sold my Z!

Looing for offers around £250 for the wheels and tyres, and postage of £35. Depending on where you are located we might be able to arrange meeting half way instead of posting them.

Cybox Short Tails - effectively just a rear silencer delete.

These were on my car for around 12,000 miles, sound absolutely fantastic but they are very loud, especially on a cold start!

Really easy to fit, just unbolt the rear silencer and bolt these in place, then spend the next week grinning like a lunatic!

The tips should polish up nicely, or the tips themselves can be replaced relatively cheaply.

£125 inc P&P

I've just picked up a mk3 Focus RS so have a load of bits to sell on. I intended on fitting this to my car but haven't actually done so - it's 2014 Nismo suspension taken off a Nismo at 14k miles as the owner was fitting coilovers. I've got shocks, springs and anti roll bars.

This will lower a standard Z by around 15-20mm and is 25% stiffer. I understand it's a great handling mod and very popular in the US where the parts would be c. $2,000 new!

I'm looking for £600. I know the rules around putting postage prices on, but clearly it's going to be a very heavy and large package! Please message me first with your postcode so I can check what postage will cost - I may offer to drive to meet a buyer half way between us depending on distance!

I may split the ARBs and shocks/springs if I can fund a buyer for both.

Any questions let me know!

got one of these today

 

First off. there are 7 screws total. Screw #6 is sort of a hidden screw.

 

Remove screw 1 -> 4. if you have a super long screw driver then remove 5 -> 7 also, if not then read next step.

 

 

 

 

Next pull off the glove box. Grab the 2 spots circled in red and pull upwards. This allows you VERY easy access to screws 5 -> 7 as well as a much easier time removing the panel. This step is OPTIONAL, but as i mentioned, it gives you easy access to screws 5 -> 7 and it also gives you a spot to grab panel to pull it off. To put the glove box back, just line up the hinge and pop it back in.

 

 

Next GENTLY pull off the panel starting from the RIGHT side first. You don't wanna damage that extension area on the right side by pulling too hard on the left. Insert finger where the arrows are and grab the bottom with your other hand and pull. Do the same on the other side.

Removing the glove box lanyard is optional (actually, mines popped off as i was figuring how to put the glove box back in after accidentally removing it) but it gives you more space to work with.

Remember, pull GENTLY, you shouldn't have to pull hard after removing the hidden screw, #6.

 

The rest you can follow caneman88's to install/replace the filter. I just have one thing that I found might be useful and that is to cut 4 slots on the bottom of the filter wall so that you can close the vent door without smashing the filter. You'll know what i mean when you take off the vent door. Just line up the slots with the 4 things on the door and make like a 1/4" -> 1/2" cut. See pic for approx locations, measure the actual location with the vent door.

 

Yes the arrow on the filter points down. Air is sucked from the top and down into the circular thing.

 

I assume you guys know how to reverse the directions to put everything back.

 

Ok here is what to do if you want clean air inside your Z.

Bought the in cabin filter at Autozone for the Maxima seems like a lot of the Nissan's use the same filter.

1.About 6 screws to take glove box out then pull hard.

2.Open the vent door be careful the tab on the left on trap door breaks easy.

3.Insert filter and reassemble had to use a penny to hold left side tab broke.

4.Breathe the Clean Air.

5.Crank up the Red Hot Chili Peppers

Any chance you could upload the pics again GIXXERUK?

Thanks for the wave! Hope you liked my exhaust on my Roadster...!

Lost it - 170ish likes v a ridiculous 1400 for an original Mini

My car has been selected for the Autofinesse Share 'n' Shine competition - the photo with the most likes wins a detailing kit.

I'd really appreciate if you could take two seconds to like the picture of my 370Z on Facebook to help me win: https://m.facebook.com/autofinesse/photos/a.10153828362585977.1073741888.172324505976/10153828364100977/?type=3&source=48

Thanks all

Order placed, noticed it on your website by chance!

I bought a Roadster around a year ago and a lot of my friends didn't really like the car when I first got it, but once they have been out with the roof down they love it. You can have the roof down a lot if you're happy to wear a hat!

As someone mentioned check the roof for wear around the doors, mine had a new roof 6 months before I bought it.

Added all of you, I'm charliecharliegolf on Instagram

Mine will be getting a couple of coats of wax to hopefully protect the paint a little bit, then probably mid November switching to my spare wheels and winter tyres - up here in the North East we do tend to have pretty cold temperatures, so even if it doesn't snow the tyres should be of some benefit.

Will all cat backs for the Roadster?

I'm considering Cybox Short Tails but not sure if they'll fit or be too loud!

Exactly the same spec as mine, first time I've seen another on the road, I almost crashed as I was just staring at it!

The wax pots are 30ml, and I was under the impression that Wax Club would only include one or two other samples?

Like SuperStu I liked the odd wax but I've got loads of samples now, I only wax my car a couple of times a year so 30ml wax every three months will be wasted on me

I've been with Admiral for years as they've always been the cheapest by far. This year though my renewal was around £800, which came down to £520 when I called them. However, Aviva gave an even cheaper quote - £495 for the year plus £50 cashback through Quidco. Well worth doing a quote through their website as they don't appear on comparison sites.

Plus apparently my renewal may be cheaper if I use the Aviva Drive app to score my driving...I don't think I'll bother with that though!

Ilogikal - one more reason to have the Admiral group - they've changed their policy to send renewal notifications 2 weeks before the end of the policy, but quotes get more expensive the closer to your renewal date, so their competitors will appear more expensive.

I was interested in knowing how many Coupes and Roadsters were sold in the UK, and there have been a few similar topics on here but Nissan didn't seem keen to release the figures.

This afternoon however they sent me the figures:

The figures total 343 Roadsters and 1683 Coupes, totalling 2026. How many left shows 1878, I'm not sure why they are slightly different but it shows they are reasonably accurate!

Well this thread is a bit disappointing compared to the 350Z inspirational thread! It's standard but I love this picture:

Fair enough! That one isn't pinned so I wasn't aware of it!
